Monday evening at the Field House,
the strong Junior Intramural Cage
team was defeated by "the fighting
Slimes" in a hotly contested game by
the smallest score ever recorded in
intramural cage affairs at Rice, 8 to 6.
The victory by the freshmen was
somewhat of an upset. Outplayed and
outgeneraled, the Juniors attempt at
victory fell short by two points. Lack
of ability at goal shooting kept the
victory from being more decisive. Ex-
cellent guarding by both teams led
to much roughness and at times the
game resembled a free-for-all.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the
Juniors. The Freshmen came back
strong in the second half with two
beautiful middle distance shots by
Carroll and Stein and a foul shot by
Jones, enough to assure the first year
men of victory. The outcome was
in doubt during the last three minutes
of play due to the tying of the score
for the Juniors by Gammill and a last
minute long shot by Carroll for the
Freshmen.
In the first game of the evening, the
Seniors routed the Sophs by the score
of 20 to 2 at the end of the first half.
The Sophs failed to return for the
second round. For the Seniors, Wil-
banks, Bloxsom, and Underwood
starred.
Much interest has been displayed to
date in the intramural games. The
following have been appointned to
serve on a committee to iron out any
questions that may arise concerning
the league: Seniors, Robert Abies;
Juniors, Walter McKinnon; Sopho-
mores, Joe Knipple; Freshmen, Gus
Geyer.
Next Monday the Juniors and Soph-
omores will tangle at tile Field House
at 7 o'clock and Tuesday night the
Seniors will compete with the Slimes
in the next round of intramural cage
contests.

There are 21 chapters In various uni-
versities in the country at the pres-
ent time.

be installed in the South, Texas Uni-
versity haviing the only other south
of the Mason and Dixon line. There
are approximately 3500 members of
the organization.

B.S.U.
(Continued from Page 1)
is tending its co-operation In arrang-
ing for a sightseeing tour of Houston
and vicinity that will rival the World
Ad Men's convention tour to San
Jacinto battle grounds in 1925, when
over 4000 delegates from every corner
of the world were transported in priv-
ately owned automlbiles.
The Rice division of the B. S. U.
was organized only last year, but a
creditable record In religious and
campus activity has already been
made. Forty students represented
Rice Baptists at the conference at
Baylor University last year, and Hous-
ton and Rice Institute were named
the gathering place of the 1927 con-
ference through the activities of these
delegates.
Among other accomplishments of
the Rice B. S. U. last year, was the
presentation of a valuable trophy to
the athletes of Rice. The trophy was
of hand-worked silver on a walnut
background. Miss Irene Ward and Eg-
gerton Robb presented the trophy
which was accepted by Coach Heis-
man.
A delegation of Rice students at-
tended the Southwide B. S. W. con-
ference at Birmingham in October of
this year, and offered Houston and
Rice Institute as the meeting place
for the next conference in 1930.

OWLS DROP GAMES
TO AGS AND STEERS
The Owls dropped a fast pair of
cage games the past week when the
Aggies scraped out a 29-28 win in the
last seconds of play and the Steers
ran up a 28-19 count.
The Owls started like a whirlwind
in the Aggie game. Morris looped a
basket shortly after the game opened
Baker fouled Schroeder, who slipped
the throw through, after which Bil-
lups broke loose . with three close
shots in succession. The Aggies scor-
ed their first point when Baker con-
verted a free throw. Billups added
another nice shot, and Grant followed
suit. Billups added one point on a
free throw. The Aggies took time
out and sent in several substitutes.
Morris rang another goal, and Schroe-
der got loose to duplicate the pro-
ceeding. With the score 18-1 in'Rice's
favor, the Aggie fireworks broke
loose. Clark rang up two long losses.
Billups got one. Clark another. Sikes
looped a long one, and Clark dropped
in two more before the half ended
20-14 in Rice's favor.
Herting scored first in the second
period on a free throw. Clark then
broke loose with a long range bar-
rage for the Aggies, and either to
luck or a miraculous eye, few of his
shots missed the hoop. He sank four
in rapid succession which, together
with one each by Petty, Davis and
Baker, plus a free throw, accounted
for the Aggie total. Billups and Mor-
ris with a field goal apiece and
Schroeder and Herting with two free
tosses, brought Rice's total to 28. The
Aggie free toss was shot just prev-
ious to the final gun, and in the gen-
eral confusion, no one knew for a
minute whether Rice or the Aggies
had won.
Clark with 18, and Billups with 13
led the scoring.
The Texas Steers took the second
game from the Owls when they got
the jump in the first half and ran
the score to 15-4. Speedy passing
and excellent shooting enabled the
Steer cohortB to cage their poiq.ts
while their excellent defense held
down the Rice tries.
The second half waB a rough and
tumble with the Owls outscoring the
Longhorns, but the scores were not
enough to overcome the lead gained
in the first half. More than thirty
fouls were called on account of the
fierceness of the struggle, and the
game was slowed up and marred by
this number of free shots. Rice was
able to score only four tosses from
the field, the rest of the Blue and
Grey points being free throw conver-
sions.
Guarding on both sides was excep
tlonally close and ar a result many
-prttrtfent trim were tong.

"Speaking of fine tobaccos
—Have a Camel!"
A NICETY of blending, a friendly
cordiality of flavor, an inherent
goodness that thrills from the first
puff to the last — that's Camels.
The warmth of golden sunlight on
autumn fields gleams in their smoke.
Camels are an expression of all
that is the finest.
Camel quality and Camel excel-
lence are recognized wherever
smokers gather. The best of Turk-
ish and Domestic tobaccos are
blended in this famous cigarette.
For this reason Camels have con-
sistent goodness. For this reason
they never tire the taste, no matter
how liberally you smoke them;
never leave a cigaretty after-taste.
And wherever experienced smok-
ers gather, wherever the conversa-
tion -turns to tobacco — to the
world's best — someone is sure to
say: "Speaking of fine tobaccos
. . . Have a Camel!"
