HOUSTON, TEXAS
ON OWL GRIDIRON
* ■ ■
Spring Trainers Get Three
Sessions Per
Week
Head Coach John W. Weinman has
been carrying his spring trainers
through three hard scrimmages each
week. Players are gradually showing
form and ability. With favorable
weather for the past two weeks, Hels-
man has been enabled to accomplish
a great deal with his men in the
spring program.
Heisman is working with the grid-
sters on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat-
urdays. On these days the coactfi
drills the men on fundamentals, givefc
exercises, and, in general, prepares his
squad for the next Southwestern con-
ference grid race.
The coach has been dishing out
light scrimmages for the past week.
With approximately 30 men out, much
good is being accomplished.
Fine Spirit
A fine spirit is manifesting itself
among the players. The men are plug-
ging along with renewed determina-
tion to give Kite jiext season a win-
ning eleven, and from all indications
the Blue and Gray outfit will be a
scrapping one.
Competition already is showing it-
self. Vining and Jones, a pair of
light linemen, are scrapping it out at
the guard position. Both served on
the slime team last fall, Vining at
center and Jones at guard. It is be-
lieved that Heisman will shift the
former to a guard, and put Bob Lough-
ridge at the pivot position.
Loughridge played at end last sea-
son, and at guard the one before.
Along with Jack Covin, he is being
groomed to fill Heavy Underwood's
shoes at center.
Comstock at End
Merle Comstock, captain-elect, is be-
ing played at end in spring training,
being taken from liis customary half'

a fine defensive player, but Is adept at
catching forward passes.
Tiny Williams has been putting up a
groat fight at tackle. Possessed with
a powerful build, he should develop
into a reliable man for next year's
play. Berger and Carnilchael, line
men last year, are both as powerful as
ever,
Braden Showing Wall
Bradeo has been doing some excel-
lent work at the quarter post, sharing
duties with Bill Schroeder, letterman
of last year. Jack Ogg Is as scrappy
as ever, and A1 Schoenfleld has been
driving hard both on offense and de-
fense.
George Murray has lost none of his
cunning after a year's layoff. He is
conceded to take care of the full-back
position next fall. Winn, Paul Smith,
Dennlson and others are showing
promise.
Heisman will work with his men
until three weeks before final examina-
tions in May. Lectures are held every
Tuesday night.
The coach is well pleased with the
improvement shown by his Owls.

Today and tomorrow at College Sta-
tion the Rice Owls engage the Farmer
nine in the opening Conference base-
ball games. The Aggies have a mar-
velous team this year and have al-
ready defeated the House of David

stack up against the best in the Con-
ference when they meet the Ags.
A. and M. has a host of good mate-
rial with Hillin, Wyman, Bryan. Sikes,
Brolles and Gorman, nil capable of
turning in good games from the pitch-

a wealth of infield material, together
with several outfielders of marked abil-
ity, give Coach Rothgob several pos-
sible starting lineups. Schueiietiuuin
and Harris are both first class mask
men, while Hikes, Clark. Broesebe.
Blount, Hunt, Tucker, L. M. William-

THERE is just one reason why
Camel is the most popular smoke

It is the one cigarette that will

smoke one or a million in daylight
or dark and Camels will never tire

Camels are rolled of such choice

And that stands, regardless of
