Ball Team Is
Put Together
By Owl Coach
Hy Gordon Turrentiiie
It has been u little more than a
month since the varsity basebullers
first reported for practice, but dur-
ing that time Coach Joe Bedenk has
put together a nine that no doubt will
make an excellent showing in the coii-
fi rence race.
In the practice games with the
Freshman aggregation of ball tossers,
Belenk's proteges have always ruled
supreme, but for one occasion when
the Slimes got rather uppish.
Season Opens March 28
Practice games are being scheduled
for the team so that the elub will
have had a taste of real opposition be-
fore tlx* conference lace officially
opens March 2 with the Texas Ag-
gies. :
A si hcilule of 14 conference games!
is oft the Owl*' caul. half being played
at home and the remaining on the
road. j

TENNIS SHARKS
AT WORK
Owl Racquet Heavers
Train; Fitch in
Shape
With courts ready for action, Sum
Fitch and several other aces in work-
ing trim, and the net game becoming
more and more popular among Rice
men, tennis hopes at the Institute are
being pepped up somewhat.
Fitch is said to be the main hope
this year. He has appeared to ad-
| vantage against national champions
and has a-swinging system all his
own.
Some member of the faculty will
no doubt assist in the coaching of the
tennis team this season. Rice has
been fortunate in having each year
among the faculty, nationally known
tennis playeis. This year is no ex-
ception.
A reasonably good showing has al-
ways been made by the Rice net men
and, while material is not any too
plentiful this year, prospects are not
as gloomy as they
other Owl sports.

Today's question: Does Jascha
Heifetz sing baritone or base?
Daniel O'Rourke: Oh, Gawd, no.
'J hose concert chairs are so deueedly
hard to keep one's balance on. And of
course, I never give an opinion un-
less I have given the matter serious
consideration—that is, attention that
is worthy of me,

Joe Luckie: Say, goiy, whatcha fink
I am? Dat nonsense of yourn don't
sit much with me at all. I ain't much
on dis learning of yours, but I do
know dat boid sings second tenor.
Can all dat talk about moosicians;
can't ya see I'm a loyal engineer?

Dupuy Hnteman: Well, it really
doesn't make a d—, well continental.
He's a prince of a fellow, even if he
didn't wear evening clothes at the
performance; that old mean transfer
man lost his trunk. And you know
when bis voice cracked on the first!
selection, the whole audience was
moved to tears from sympathy. But
then, jazz music rather disgusts me,
and I certainly intend to make all
operas coming in the future—espe-
cially Jada. That is all I have to say
about the finer arts this morning.
Jimmy Clapp: Chuman lleink! I
wasn't listening, 1 was taiking at the
time. French horns are in common
use. and so are base horns, but as to
a baritone horn I must demur—com-
| i enez-vous. Personally, 1 much pre-
fer Mike O'Reilly on the bassoon. I
couldn't say for sure, but I do think
we both use Stacomb; but that isn't
.lie thing that makes him a great
story-teller. Au revoir. Ju tu voir

Edward Aran): Good gwaeious
what a question for 'oo to ask an un-
ehaperoried young man. Get your
dirty hands off me, can't you thee P
ill at eat he ? 1 may have a big mouth,
but 1 don't bite on them kind. What,'
oh, what ithe thithe world coming to, |
any way? I really do think he would
have looked better in knickers. I'm
a tiithe boy. I'll have you know, and
I'm going- to call up my best girl now.

Geniua will out. For the second
time in the short space of two weeks
Rosalyn Zueht has made her appear-
ance upon tlie legitimate stage in
Houston. She is cast in the role of

dMassachusetts Institute of technology
School of Chemical Engineering Tradice
Individual and practical training at five industrial plants are
important features of the Graduate Course in Chemical £n-
Einesring Practice. Field work is carried out at Bangor, Me;
Boston, Mass., and Buffalo, N.Y. j in plants producing sulphite
and Bocta pulp, paper, caustic soda, chlorine, heavy acids and
salts, sugar, coke, gas, steel and other chemical products.
The more important operations of Chemical Engineering, as
typified by the above processes, are studied systematically by
tests and experiments on actual plant apparatus, thus fixing
in the student's mind the principles of Chemical Engineering
and correlating these principles with practice.
The work is non-remunerative and independent of plant
control, the whole attention of the students being directed to
itudy and experimentation.
Registration is limited, as students study and experiment
in small groups and receive individual instruction.
Admission requires adequate preparation in chemistry and
engineering. Abie students can complete the requirements for
the Master of Science degree in one and a half years.
Representatives of thirty colleges and universities now at-
tend the School of Chemical Engineering Practice.
