CARNIVAL HU^E
SUCCESS
Champs Furnish Many
Thrills In Relay
Games
Not * hitch marred the perfect program
that pleased some 4000 Rice boosters at the
first annual Southwest Relay Cataival held
at Rice field last Saturday, when champions
and championship teams vied with each other
in thrilling relays and special events.
Such men as Joie Ray, Jackson Seholx, Bud-
dy Evans, Harold Osborne, Dan Kinsey, Lloyd
Hahn. Poth of A. and M., Joe Cheaney, and
scores of the best athletes in the cuontry ex-
hibited their wares in the carnival. National
champion track squads were on the field of
competition.
Although some 150 athletes were on the field
to participate, each event was run off on
schedule. Coach John Nicholson, acting in the
capacity of announcer, got each event off
on time *nd so handled the meet that every-
one wax well pleased.
Ray Drops Out <y
Joie Hay, seven time® national champion in
the middle distances, and Olympic star, pulled
h tendon at the Texas games, and whm forced
to drop out after the first lap in his special
race against Lloyd Hahn of Boston A. C.
Harold Osborne, world record holder for
the high jump, did not succeed in breaking
his record wet at the Texas relays. The champ
was a hit strained after his feat, and suc-
ceeded in getting to the height of 6 feet, 6%
inches, before he called it quits.
The University of Illinois national champion
track team took the cup for winning the
most events, with Butler University of In-
dianapolis a close second. Illinois) led Uutler
by a lone point.
Notre Dame, champions of lndaiua. finished
third.
In each relay in which these teams were
entered the results were always close. In the
final event of the day, the one-mile varsity
relay, these three competitors came in neck
and neck.
In the high school .section, W. Draper
of Fort Worth Central high school furnished
thrills when he left his field fully ten yards
in the 100-yard dash.
Draper Runs Well
This same man participated in the special
100-yard race for varsity athletes. In this
race Poth of A. and M. beat Buddy Evans of
Illinois, second, while Draper pushed the lead-
ers for third place.
Kinsey. world champion in the high hur-
dles, had a little hard luck in his special race.
He was unaccustomed to a grass field for the
hurdles, and spilled on the fourth hurdle.
Probably the most exciting finish of the
day occurred when Ponzer of Illinois, run-
ning with half a lap disadvantage, overtook
the Butler U. runner in the two-mile varsity
relay for first place.
In the high school section the finish of
Rudy Coles of Houston Central featured the
mile high school finals. Like Ponzer of Illi-
nois, he had half a lap disadvantage, but he
ate up the distance until on the home stretch
he was neck and neck with the Fort Worth
Central runner. But he could not quite put
forth the necessary effort to push ahead, and
the plucky athlete finished second.
Coach Nicholson was highly pleased with the
co-operation of the students, the athletes,
and the various officials.
Nicholson has expressed his> desire to next
year have an even better field of entries.
GRIDMEN WORK
Heisman Drives Owls in
Spring Training
The Owl football crew in spring
training has been at work now for
•about .ten days. Coach Heisman has
been giving his men harder work each
day and it is expected that light
scrimmaging will Be indulged in soon.
A squad of some thirty men have
so far reported, and among this num-
ber are a few men who have had foot-
ball experience but who have not had
opportunity to report for practice.
Heisman, assisted by Coach Nich-
olas, is giving his candidates work in
the rudiments of the game, such as
tackling! blocking, passing, starting,
stopping, leg and body exercises and
breathing exercises.
The men are gradually hardening
up and are throwing off the lazy at-
titude taken on during the period of
inactivity.
Every afternoon the men work hard
for two hours. No loafing is allowed,
and work, and hard work at that, is
the order of the day.
Heisman-

coaches would live in the exclusive
group and that the body would bi>
called the Athletes Club, members
of which (not on probation) would be
distinguished from ..other students by
•a special insignia or cap. Residents
of town who are members of the club
would also wear this mark of dis-
tinction.
The coach further explained that of
the 52 athletes of recognized worth
who resided in the dormitories during
the past two terms, 23 flunked out
or went on probation. Compared with
this only about five of the 26 ath-
letes who live in town were rendered
ineligible by the same reason.
Control?
Heisman used these figures to
stress the need of some sort of hall
supervision other than student con-
trol.
Further plans are under way. The
following rules were prepared for the
athletes dormitory:
1. THOSE ON PROBATION:
Must be in their room, every night, un-
less excused by the ProctOMQby 8:30.
Exceptions: Saturday, 11:30, and
Sunday, 12.
2. FRESHMEN NOT ON PROBATION:
Same as for ClassjJl except that on
Wednesday reportinffCfh time Is 10 p. m.
3. UPPER CLASSMEN NOT ON PROBA-
TION :
Mon., Tues., Thurs., Frl„ 9 p. m.
Wed., 11 p. m.
Sat.. No reporting.
Sun., 12 midnight.
In addition all athletes subject to any special
regulations any coach may see fit to lay dawn
while his season is on. >
In case any man not on probation Is doing
well in his work he may be granted special
privileges by the Director of Athletics.

Rice and Aggies
Meet on Tennis
Court Saturday
Rice's tennis team will go into ac-
tion for the first time this year Sat-
urday afternoon when the Texas Ag-
g'es are played on the Y. M. C. A.
courts on Louisiana street.
The matches are due to start
promptly at 2 p. m., giving spectators
a chance to see a part of the matches
without interfering with the baseball
game at Rice Field.
The relative strength of the two
teams is not known. However, the
Aggies always put out a strong com-
j bination and it is thought that this
: year will not be an exception.
1 Coach Vaughn has a quartet of
| raequeteers of proven ability in Sam
Fitch, Alfred White, Herbert Sloan
and Paul Daugherty. Recent prac-
tices has shown them to be in fine
shaoe.
There are seven matches on the
i schedule, including the conference
| meet.
innings against the Farmer boys from
up-country. This man had his stuff
breaking in fine style, with the result
that for his work a total of seven
strikeouts showed. He allowed the
same number of base knocks.
And Bob Abies, another expert on
the rubber, did some nifty rescue work
in the n'nth when he checked a threat-
ened rally. In the tenth the Aggies
went out in one-two-three order.
The visiting team looked dangerous
in the first frame, when two runs
.if
were shoved ove? the plate on two hits
and two walks. Another tally was
added in the fourth on a triple by
TuckeiMtnd a singfe by Sehuenenman.
Then in the ninth it looked as if the
Owls were beaten. The Farmers scored
two runs. Two walks, a hit batsman
and a single produced a run, while a
short passed ball permitted another
run to score. Abies then succeeded in
making the next batsman fly out.
Bedetik's men did not score until,
the last of the fourth, when two runs
were put over. Wilford and Dacam-
ara both hit, and scored on an error.
The score was tied in the eighth.
Wilford got three bases on an error
b) Grayson, Aggie center fielder, and
scored on an error made on the throw-
in.
Bloxsom Helps Out
After A. and M. had assumed the
lead in the ninth with two runs, the
Blue-Grey nine came back strong and
tied the score. Fisher singled and
scored on Abies double. Abies then
scored on George Kloxsom's triple to
left field.
Dan Bloxsom scored Dacamara with
the winning run in the tenth by sock-
ing a double to left. "D" got his base
on a walk.
Wednesday the Owls fought their
battle in Austin.
Again Grandadd.v started for Rice,
and pitched a very creditable game.
And again he allowed only seven scat-
tered blows. Only in the sixth and
seventh frames were enough hits clus-
tered together to produce a counter.
Home runs by Hale and Dacamara
in the third with men on base gave
the Owls the lead. In the eighth Hale
socked out another four-base blow
with two men on, boosting Rice's to-
tal to eight.
While six fielding misplays were re-
corded against the Owls in the Aggie
game, only one was chalked up in the
Texas contest. Wood was given fine
support by his buddies.
Wood had his various offerings
working well, seven men fanning the
