HOUSTON, TEXAS
OWLS AND LONGHORNS—
(Continued from Page One)
past few days.. And every one of
these athletes la fired with the ambi-
tion to beat Texas foe the second time
in two years.
Last year Texas came down to Rice
confident that they had the best team,
and that Bice would not serlousjy
threaten them in a victorious march-
But the dreams of the Longhorns were
shattered and knocked to the mercy of
the fou%r winds. This year they
year they don't know just what to
expect. Some reports have it that
Rice is very weak, while many critics
claim that the team has not been per-
mitted to open up its attack, with the
Verdict of "quantity unknown."
But taking the last half of the Rice-
Arkansas contest as a eriteron, Rice
is capable of playing a sensational
game, a brand that would bring joy to
any coach's heart, and make the ag-
gregation feared by all. Texas Univer-
sity in all probability is quite wary of
the Owl's attack, and reports from the
Capital City have it that Coach
Stewart has spent the past week fev-
erishly preparing a defense for the
Itice aerial attack.
Coach Heisman has not Indicated
just what kind of offensive play he
will use, but it is thought that the
overhead game will certainly be an
important factor. Murray and Herting
will no doubt be used principally to
plunge the line, with the other backs
playing important roles in the air
game.
No Lineup Changes.
No important changes have been
announced In the starting lineup. Ul-
rich will replace Kendrick, who is
sick, but otherwise the club remains
intact.
Walter Joseph will likely man left
end, with Wilbur Cruin as his mate.
Joseph has been playing a consistent
brand of ball throughout the fall, and
hold up his duties well, drain, who
last Saturday replaced McKinnon on
the other wing, has developed into
first string calibre under Helsman's
direction in the past few weeks, and
he will probably see much action for
the rest of the year.
McVey and Ulrich are slated to start
at tackles. McVey without a doubt Is
one of the premier tackles In the
Southwestern conference, and his work
so far on the Rice line marks him as
one of the stars of the play. Ulrich,
who has been troubled with numerous
Infections recently, seems about re-
covered, and will fill Kendrick's place
In fine style, it is thought.
Two of the lightest guards in the
conference will fight for victorky for
Rice Saturday. Joe Heyck and Sam-
mie Williams barely pull an average
of 165 pounds, but that does not pre-
vent them from playing an exception-
al brand of ball. Although as a rule
they are each outweighted by about
twenty pounds, their fight and spirit
cannot be eclipsed.
At center Captain Heavy Underwood
will be found. The Blue and Gray
captain Is a prominent candidate for
all-conference honors, and deservedly.
Last Saturday, when the team was
fighting at its lowest ebb, Heavy did
not quit, instead he fought all the
harder. His play In every game so
far has shown out in no uncertain
terms.
Jack Ogg will probably be found at
quarter, with Hertig and Hoculi at
the half positions. Murray will round
out the quartet. These four men have
carried the brunt of the Owl backfield
play so far his season, and look to be
the best bets for the places.
There is but a handful of men who
will be used as substitutes, as nothing
in the way of real ability has been
noticed outside the first stringers. And
that's more than poetry, too.
Longhorns Ready.
Texas University is ready, accord-
ing to Austin dispatches to local
papers. A few of the men seem to be
showing the effects of the game last
week with Auburn, but In all probabil-
ity they will be in the thick of the
battle with the Owls.
State has shown the goods In past
games, and there Is every reason to
believe that the Orange and White
will continue so. Which means that
Rice will have to play the game of
their lives.
And Rice students are confident that
that old team will, too.
HORSES REPLACE CARS AT BAYLOR
"O! The old gray mare's
Better than she used to be!"
"01 The old gray mare's
Better than she used to be!"
Nothing can daunt the creative gen-
ius of the college student. Witness
the following example:
Baylor students score another hit,
exclusive of females playing football
in "unmentionables."
At the beginning of the present
school year the faculty of the Baptist
Institution in Waco passed a regula-
tion which said, in brief: "There shall
be NO nocturnal automobile joy-riding
for the fair Co-eds of Baylor!"
That was that—for about two weeks.
Ingenuity.
Last Saturduy night saw more than
a dozen horse-drawn vehicles carrying
Co-eds and their Rudolphs along the
highways and by-ways of Waco. Ole
Dobbin has come back into favor In
that city.
The night-riding prohibition had
said nothing against horses and bug-
gies and the fertile minds of the date-
seeking studes were quick to sieze
upon the opportunity. And the stu-
dents expect to get by with it because
moat of he older instructors at Bay-
lor have indulged In the same pastime
in their youth. Consequently, they
should show leniency to the present
participants.
For Better or Woree.
Our Inquisitive Reporter has figured
out some advantages and disadvanta-
ges of the buggy and its horsepower |
over automobiles. They are: i
Not as much danger of wrecks.
Cheaper—if the livery stables don't |
become too rushed and turn pirates, j
No flat tires! (Remember: speak-1
ing of buggies, not dates).
If you hire a gentle horse regularly '
and train him over the route, forget
about the reins and friend Co-ed can
receive entire attention, without park-
ing.
Can't cover much territory.
Not as much privacy as in a coupe.
Colder in the winter-—(advantage or
disadvantage?)
A frisky horse is hell.
baahof. The hook is a novel deplet-
ing the modern youth of today. There
will also be a talk on "The Epic Bongs
of Russia." Special Russian music
will complete the program.

V. W. DRINK TEA.
The membership committee of the
city Y. W. C. A. will give an informal
tea on October 27, in honor of the Rice
Y. W. C. A. The tea will be from 4
to fi at the city building. The plan
is to have the two organizations meet
for a social function, and it is hoped
that the tea will be an annual affair.

SAYS-
A great many Eastern college men are wearing map
brim Hate. These Hate are worn with a center create
and the crown it pinched in the front and bach. The
shape in which a college hat is worn is just as important
as the color or style. This is the prevailing style in
headwear (right now) at Princeton.

-Beat Texas-
By Slime McNeill.
One look at Halrston fa enough to
convince anyone that he is a wise
guy, and proof that the world Is at-
tracted by his air of wisdom was giv-
en last Monday, when he was selling
tickets In the lobby of the Rice Hotel
for the football game.
Every person who had a question to
ask or a doubt to dispel came to him
and presented his problem.
The Information desired covered
everything from the mayor's telephone
number to the location of the men's
washroom.
One gentleman asked him if he was
selling real estate, and frequent re*
quests were made for tickets to bur-
lesques and wrestling matches.
Halrston survived the ordeal In a
very creditable manner, but his air
of non-chalance was shattered when
an inquiring mortal, who was doubt-
less Interested In commerce, looked
at the seating diagrams and said,
"Pardon me, Mister, but is this a
map of the ship channel?"
NEW NOVELS
ONE INCREASING PURPOSE
By A. S. M. HUTCHINSON.
Perhaps we should wait a week or
two before attempting to review this
book. Perhaps we are too soon from
the reuding of It for our ideas to be
settled salmly enough to give a sane
criticism of it. The spell of it is
still upon is, and we see things from
the viewpoint of the author, who
seems to others, who perhaps have a
better idea of his work, to be too
full of that "stuff" staraeterized by
Linda as "rum."
Natheless, we are going to give
our opinion of the book as it affected
us. To us it seems a masterpiece,
having its faults, perhaps, needed by
way of contrast to bring out its great
points; a masterpiece no only In sub-
ject matter but In Its manner of pre-
sentation, by the author. The story
Is English, as all of Hutchinson's
stories are, the scene being in and
around London and the little town
of Barton's End. It Is what might
be called a problem novel, though the
problem Is so painlessly treated that
sometimes it is hardly evident. It
deals with modern times as they have
developed since the war and it is in
the characters of Sim, Linda, Andrew,
Alice, Charles and Elizabeth that the
problem is unraveled and Sim's great
purpose is found. The solution of the
problem, as Sim finds it, is in K. 0. H.
(Kingdom of Heaven) kindness, so
called by the England family, who
lived near Knapton. K. O. H. kind-
ness, as Sim found it to be, was ex-
emplified by the old woman's bring-
ing the hot brick to B. C. D. Ash, the
author, (who seems to be Hutchinson
himself) when he shivered in his
chalet perched high in the French
Alps; by the placing of the five oaken
benches at the tops of the five highest
hills of the neighborhood by old Yeo-
man, who was doing his last work
for his fellowmen before climbing his
j own last hill. K. 0. H. kindness was
| typified by the hand-carved inscrip-
: tions on these benches:*
; "Rest, passer-by, then cheerily on:
Peace on thy habitation, passer-by."
The plot itself is intriguing, fasci-
nating—we will not touch on it here,
except to say that it is Life, in
italics; Life as lived in after-the-war
England, the characters living their
lives in tears and rebellion, as Charles
and Alice, or in laughter and reckless
freedom, like lovely Linda, Andrew's
wife; or in bewilderment and trust-
ing knowledge, like Sim and Elizabeth.
The story hinges on Sim's discovery
that he came through the war un-
scathed to serve a purpose; first his
bewilderment at such an idea, then
his rebellion and the horrible thought
that God was after him, and lastly
his knowledge and acceptance of God's
purpose.
"Yet I doubt not thru the ages one
Increasing purpose runs."

BREAD GIVERS
By ANZIA YEZIERSKA.
This new novel by the author of
"Hungry Hearts," "Salome of the
Tenements," has some very good
points. It is a good story, simply told,
with no complications of style or af-
fectation of manner. There are some
flaws In style which may have been
intentional on the part of the author,
as the story is told by Sara Smolinsky,
the immigrant girl.
The Ghetto, made famous in Fanny
Hurst's "Humoresque," is again made
the scene of a fine story. RuBslan
refugees living In the squalor of the
tenements, these are the characters of
the story, in the persons of Reb Smo-
linsky, the venerable Russian patriach,
the teacher of the Torah, a new mod-
ern edition of King Lear; his wife, the
now faded mother of four daughters,
who was the belle of her Russian vil-
lage, whose on.ee raven locks and ap-
ple-red cheeks attracted the eyes of all
beholders; the daughters, the eldest,
to whom love came only once and who
was forbidden that love by her father,
who finally became the second wife ot
the old fish-monger; MaBhah, the
beautiful one, who flitted through life.
even the drab one of the tnoments,
where a new square of oilcloth forj
the kitchen wa.s an event, until her I
heart was won by a young pianist; i
then she suffered, becau.se the course
of love was not smooth. She was final-!
iy forced by her father into a match |
with a diamond salesman, who lost
liis Job and turned the beautiful one
into the drab mother of three children j
who had to fight to have the milk bill j
paid, while her spendthrift husband
bedecked himself in new raiment;
Sonia, who fell in love with a paet,
but, like her sisters, forced by her
practical father, anything but practi-
cal when it came to himself, into a
heart-breaking marriage with a clock-
and-suit man from Los Angeles; last-
ly, Sara, the baby of the family, who
profited by the sad experience of her
sisters, and ran away from home. She
lived in a cellar, working by day, t
come a "teacherine," which goal she ,
finally accomplished, after a college I
course, and returned to New York as
a teacher in the public school. The |
climax of the story comes with jghe
pitiful death of the mother. Sarah and
her American-born husband take the
burden of the old father, who is to
spend the rest of his life teaching
his son-in-law Hebrew.
An interesting glimpse of modern
college life, from the foreign point of
view, is given In the course of the
story. ■ The book, as a whole, deserveB
to rank with the best of modern fio
tion, and will undoubtedly prove to be
one of the "best sellers" at this time.

Golf
Do you know why a fat man
never plays golf?
Well, Mister, it's this jvay—
if he puts the ball where he
can see it, he can't reach it,
and if he puts the ball where
he can reach it, he can't see it.
But here is the point, we
have- such a variety of good
clubs that even a fat man
could select one that he could
use.
