Football
Jim Greenwood It Junior—
Score 173
Jim Greenwood made the best score
in the tryout golf tournament held at
Hermann Park Monday and Tuesday
afternoons.
The meet was held for the purpose
of picking six men to make up the
Rice team to represent the Owls in
the conference meet to be held here
on May 21 and 22.
These six men will make up the
team, but only four of them will be
able to represent Rice in the confer-
ence tournament. For the purpose of
choosing these four another match
will have to be held later.
Greenwood's score for the 36 holes
was 173. The other five men and
their scores are:
Watson, 187.
Byrnes, 184.
Scott, 189.
Hancock, 190.
Coach Ashcraft was in charge of the
meet. He explains that theae scores
Branard, 187.
are not the beat that can be expected
of the team as the Hermann Park
course was not exactly In the beat
shape that It might have been had It
been built a little differently. The
course was not constructed to drain
properly and after the heavy rains of
the past few weeks the players found
themselves considerably handicapped.
Coach Ashcraft also states that the
Hermann Park procedure of using
your fingers Instead of your club upon
finding yourself in a rather difficult
position was entirely done away with
in this meet. It Is understood that
the team would have probably made
a much better showing had not Ash-
craft been so particular about this
point.
Unlike this last tournament, which
was decided medal play, the next
elimination process will be by match
play. The four surviving will start
in the conference meet. This match
play will take place on April 16. It
will be held on the links of the Hous-
ton Country Club instead of Hermann
Park.
The first Centenary same:
In the first game with Centenary Wood
took the mound. He showed ability, but
more so at some times than at others.
The innings flew by, and before the
people realized It the game was rapidly
drawing to a close. For the greater part
of the game the score stood at a draw—
2 to 2.
Rice missed her best chance in the
ninth inning. Rogers, batting for Da-
Ciunara got safe on first. Borschow
then sent him to third with a single.
Borsehow then went to second on a pass-
ed ball. Then there were two men on
and no outs. Rice seemed certain of
victory. But then the chance slipped
away and the next three men went down
before Stewart, Centenary tosser.
In the tenth inning Centenary took
the game by a 3-2 score.
In this game Wood Btruck out 10 Cen-
tenary men.

NEW ROWING CAPTAIN
CONFERENCE TENNIS
WILL BE PLAYED AT
AUSTIN
Rice Must Forfeit Hostship for Lack
of Facilitie
The conference tennis meet will
yababiybft Mfeat. Austia^thte year,
instead of in Houston as originally
planned by the Southwestern Confer-
ence officials this winter.
The reason is that Rice has not the
required facilities to comfortably ac-
commodate such an assembly.
Rice has not enough courts to han-
dle this meet on her own campus and
there would be a great deal of diffi-
culty in getting the Y courts for the
three days required for the play.
For this reason it has about been
decided to allow Texas University to
have the affair in Austin this year,
as the Steers are very anxious to play
the hosts again.

The second Centenary game:
However, tlie'next day Rice more than
made up for her loss of the previous
day by taking a game from the Cente-

Undoubtedly it was Grandpa's lucky
day. Four times at bat, and he got a
double and two home runs out of it.
He was only demonstrating that he was
m'ore than a pitcher.
Bob Abies pitched a wonderful game,
and except for the sixth inning allowed
no hits whatever in the game. It was
in the unlucky sixth that Centenary
scored their three runs.
In the seventh inning Rice brought in
seven runs and in this time the team
became exhausted from running around
the bases.

NEYS TO WACO
Hjertberg Hopes to Win From
Baylor Bears
When the Owls and the Baylor Bears
are fighting it out on the tennis courts
in Houston, the Baylor Bears and the
Rice Owls will be engaged in a friend-
ly little track meet in Waco.
Saturday Smiley sprained his ankle
while training for the meet with Bay-
lor and may be kept - out of the meet
altogether. He is almost a sure shot
for first place in the broad and high
jump when he is not suffering from!
rheumatism or broken bones.
Since the beginning of the season
Hjertberg has Been the Rice track
team diminish, grow smaller, lose,
men, and grow less in size, not' to
mention'the shrinking process which
wai going on at the same time that
the team was shriveling up. As a re-
sult the famous coach finds himself
with an eligible squad of about half
thq size as the one that he had on
hand last December.
Hut, nevertheless, Coach Hjertberg
hoiies to win anywhere from a couple
to J* dozen dual meets this year. He
ha* never definitely stated the num-

neatness and cleanliness of the plant

cially by the engineers of Houston.

plant in the rotogravure section at
the Houston Chronicle at the time of
the second Engineering Show was
the following legend, "The Rice Insti-

Of especial interest in this depart-
ment of the show are the two large
boilers of the power plant. Then,

at revolving wheels; even as * child
most of the visitors have taken a
watch apart for this self-same reason.

The Rice Institute baseball nine now
stands with one game lost and two won.
The game lost, however, is not a con-
ference one and therefore the Owls still
have a percentage in the conference of
1000. This is said to be a very good
average for conference standing.
The team showed up very well indeed,
despite the fact that a little more prac-
tice had been palnned on but was rained
The Baylor game was played last Sat-
urday and was attended by a larger
crowd than has attended Rrce %ames in
quite a time. This game could have
been a much faster game without hurting
anybody but as it was it was very good
since Rice took it away from the visitors
by a 3 to 0 scofe.
Abies showed some excellent ability
in pitching tight ball when he was
caught in a pinch as lie was at one time
in this game. He well demonstrated that
any conference team would have a great
factor to consider when he was pitching
against it. ■
In the eighth inning Rice almost had a
triple play to the team's credit and would
have had if the umpire had not ruled
differently. But nevertheless Rice got a
double and that wasn't so bad consider-
ing the crucial time at which it was
made. .
Underwood showed the spectators that
he was no puny Infant and could not be
put aside at will by Booty Johnson who
attempted to shove Heavy off the home
plate. Heavy, however, held his ground
and saved the day for the Institute, keep-
ing the game at Bhoutout score against
Baylor. .. . .
Borschow started the season off right
by tapping a home run off Shelton. It
was this little btngle that helped to
boost the Owl total tallies.
Fielding honors of the game go to
Bob Abies, who handled eight chances
without an error.

Four of the Rice "B's" will swing
into action Saturday on the Y. M. C.
A. tennis courts.
Rice plays Baylor at that time. And
Baylor 1s planning on winning the con-

this Waco institution has a fair chance
of carrying out their expectations.
The match will begin at 2 o'clock.
There are six men whose names be-
gin with B out for the tennis team
this year, and that is all that will get
to represent Rice this season.
Tom Barr and Edwin Beckenbach
will make up the team for the doubles.
The two single players will be chosen
from Barber, Brewer and Buhler.
Beckenbach is captain of this year's
team, and has a fairly strong aggrega-
tion behind him.
The schedule:
April 10—Baylor, at Houston.
April 17—Texas U., at Houston.
April 24—S. M. U., at Houston.
May 1—T. C. U„ at Fort Worth.
