it did, morally at least; next Satur-
day the underdog in going to cavort
Rice fight U busy this week weld-
ing a good team into a great team!
There is nothing to lose in thia
game. The fate of nations by no means
hangs upon it. The psychological jinx
must be appeased by now!
The dope, as far as roe writer is
concerned, all points to one conclu-
sion—a brilliant game, and mad back-
to-the-wall fight from the Rice Owls.
It may not be victory; it may be de-
feat, but at least It will be defeat
after a glorious, furious scrap.
"Baylor was determined to win Sat-
urday and the Aggies were not de-
termined enough to stop them. In
football a team can be as good as it
wants to be, and Baylor wanted to
wjn that game worse than did A. and
M.," is what Coach Bible said after
Baylor slashed her may to unexpected
victory last Saturday; and it holds
equally true this Saturday in the case
of the Owls.
Imposing Array.
S. M. U. brings to Rice field the
most imposing club ever seen on a
Southwestern gridiron. Her record
this season has been dazzling. She has
rolled up a total 169 points to her op-
ponents SI, has not been defeated,
and has been tied only by Missouri,
who looks like a sure contender for
the Missouri Valley championship.
In the two conference games played
so far, in spite of the fact that the
Ponies were outplayed during the
three opening quarters of the games
by both Texas and A. and M„ the
closing quarter was enough for the
boy* from Dtllu to poll both the
games from the Ore.
Utterly refusing to be beat, S. M. U.
has not yet stopped fighting this sea-
son until the final whistle has blown,
proving again, we may say didactical-
ly, a team that won't be beat, can't be
beat!"
The Mustang stronghold Is passing;
but in the llnebuek game they can
easily hold their own.
Coach Heisman haa a number of
passing tricks himself which he has
been holding up his sleeve. Bad
weather kept him from exposing them
in the Texaa game, and the Owl sup-
porters can expect to see some bril-
liant spread formations next Saturday,
weather permitting.
Just what the Owl mentor is plan-
ning in the way of offense nobody ex-
cept the coach and the team knows,
but it 1b pretty certain that after his
40-odd years of experience in foot-
ball that the wlley fox will have some-
thing new and dazzling to pull Sat-
urday.

nesday. November 3.
Fred Royer, Oklahoma's best, solved
the play of Appell and it did not take
him long with his beautiful and ac-
curate backhand and forehand drives

points were closer contested than the
scores indicate.
Captain Herb Sloan. Rice's No. 2
man, met defeat at the hands of Meade.
Sloan dropped the first set at 6-0, but
got going in the next set and was
leading at 4-2 when Meade began mak-
ing impossible shots good for aces,
and won this set and the match at 6-2,
6-4.
Captain Dick Mason of Oklahoma,
after dropping the first three games
to Bechenbach, displayed beautiful ten-
nis in winning nine consecutive games,
though he dropped two more games
before winning the match at 6-3, 6-2.
Tom Barr of Rice lost the first set
at 6-2, but hit his stride and was lead-
ing by a one-game margin until Lan-
don of Oklahoma won his serve to take

and Meade, won from Appell and Bech-

the Oklahoma combination never failed
to make aces on overhead smashes.

recording this match in their favor.
The match was marked by beautiful

Grab Offices
Wallace Franklin waa elected to the
presidency of the Pre-Law Society laat
Tuesday night at a meeting of the pre-
legal students at the Autry House.
Mr. Franklin succeeds to the position
held last year by Henry Folk, the first
president o fthe Pre-Law Society.
A. 8. Koehler was elected vice presi-
dent and Stanley Fluklnger, secretary-
treasurer. Harry Painter will hold
down the responsible position of sar-
geant-at-arms.
Judging by the enthusiasm that was
prevalent at the meeting, the pre-laws

plishments written in the records of
the second year of the existence of
Rice's legal organization.
