RICE TENNIS STARS
LEADINTTOURNEY
City Champ Coloman Appears
Out o! Running.
Members of the Rice tennis varsity
are in line to carry off all high honors
in the city tourney now being played
on the Y. M. C. A. courts. It is ru-
mored that Leslie Coleman, city
champ, who was expected to "win
again, as he did last Spring, will not
compete due to the pressure of busi-
ness. At any rate the ex-Rice star
has not as yet played his first round
match and "the field appears clear
for a clean Rice "Sweep".
Appell, Rice Ace, has experienced
no difficulty throughout early rounds,
and will without doubt be a finalist.
Such an eventuality should be grati-
fying to Rice partisans who watched
the pluckly little fighter battle bravely
but ineffectually against the veteran
Coleman last Spring.
Beckenbach and Tom Ban- have
also found the going easy. Becken-
bach in the lower bracket may possi-
bly oppose Appell in the finals. And
should Hess, the slime who brings
a tennis reputation from Port Worth,
come through, Rice fans may be justi-
fied In looking forward to a Rice
monopoly on even the quarter finals,
with Barr and Appell, and Beckenbach
and Hess bracketed together.
Indications are that doubles play
will also find a Rice team triumphant
Stiff opposition should not halt the
march of Appell and Beckenbach who
teamed so well in the intercollegiate
matches of last season.
Other Rice players who have not
yet been eliminated are: Norman
Schwartz, Tom Phillips, Howard
Brown, and Bloxsom.

Led by Bush Jones, the Rice Owls
scrapped the Loyola Wolves to a
scoreless second period in the game
at New Orleans last Saturday, but the
thirteen-point margin that the Wolves
had amassed in the first two quarters
was not to be denied.
The powerful team of New Orleans
veterans which has not been tied or
beaten in three years was much too
fast and heavy_ for the green Owl
squad in the first period, and before
IUce had recovered from the stage
fright of the first game, they had
scored thirteen points. From then
ou, It was a different story, with Jones
crashing through time and again to
down the vaunted "Bucky" Moore for
10-yard losses.
A miscue on Rice's part was direct-
ly responsible for the first Loyola
touchdown. Braden hurried a punt
which went only seven yards, and the
Wolves hastily took advantage of it.
Budge cut 12 yards to take the ball to
Rice's 10-yard line. Jones toosed
Moore for a 10-yard loss. He repeat-
ed the performance, but Rice was off
side and the ball was brought back to
the Rice 15-yard line. A pass to
Droullhet put the leather nn Rice's
2-yard marker, and Drouilhet crashed
over. Moore's drop failed to clear the
bars.
Loyola's second touchdown came
after a Rice penalty also. With the
ball on the 10-yard line, Koenig was
penalized for unnecessary roughing
after the whistle. The ball went to
the Rice 1-yard line, where Drouilhet
again smashed it over. A pass, Moore
to Maitland gained the extra point.
Loyola lugged the pigskin to the
Rice 1-yard line again in the third
quarter, but a stonewall Rice front
beat off the attack. The Owls soon
made their first offensive. Braden
carted a Loyola punt 30 yards by some
neat dodging. Ogg made the initial
first down by a 3-yard drive through
left tackle. Three more first downs
came in shor torder but the intensive
drive that means touchdowns was
lacking, and the Loyola line was too
powerful.
The Owls quickly acclimated them-
selves to the Minnesota shift and
stopped many of the Shaughnessy
tricks from this formation. Rice's
short passes promised a great deal for
the future, but lack of proper back-
field and line co-ordinaiton cut down
the offensive efficiency.
Fighting spirit galore is the consen-
sus of Houston sport followers who
witnessed the contest.
Comparative offensive strength is
indicated by the Wolves' 13 first
downs to Rice's 4.

CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD
WILL BEGIN FOUR MILE
JOGS THRU PARK SOON
With three letter men and two of
last year's track squad out, the pre-
season prospects show well for
another good Cross Country Team.
The squad is working for speed and
limbering up on the shorter distances,
but'next week it will begin work in
earnest when time trials will be run
over the four mile distance through
Herman Park.
The three letter men of last year's
championship team are Captain Ben
Chitwood, Emmett Branson and Greer.
Yarbrough and Lambkin pt' last year's
track squad are out. The new men
are: Flynn, 'Patout, Wortham, Wil-
moth, Arnold, Sturgis, Garza, Holland,
Talley and Klanke.
• The team has three dual meets
scheduled with conference rivals:
SMU at Dallas, Texas at Austin, and
A & M here. These meets will be
held on the same day as the foot-
ball games. They should give the
team good pointers on their most
feared rivals and enable them to show
well, if not repeat their conference
championship of last year. The meet
this year will be held November 19
at Dallas.
ASHCRAFT FAVORS
INTRAMURAL TEAM
Meets with Success Among
Rice Students
PRESS BOX
BY DUTCHIE
The excellent play of the entire Owl
squad in the Loyola game of last Sat-
urday lias been of extreme satisfaction
to the Rice coaches. The coaches,
Heisman and Rothgeb, are to be high-
ly praised for the dogged fight and
dtermination that has been instilled
into the men. The undertone of in-
tensive feeling that had displayed it-
self during the training period openly
burst forth in the game of the past
week-end.
9yQ
The players are training harder
than ever, and are madly scrapping to
win cneir Berths on the first eleven.
Led by "Bush" Jones, sophomore
guard, the Owls carried the fight to
the Loyola team and held the heavier
opponents scoreless in the second
half. The Rice forwards stopped
Bucky Moore, elusive halfback for the
first time in his college career, and
threw him for heavy losses on several
[occasions. The entire Rice team
I starred after the stage fright of the
first half was over, but several costly
errors enabled Loyola to score 13
points in the first period.
OyO
The team was welcomed home by a
crowd of two hundred loyal students
last Sunday morning. An inspiration
like this should cause the squad to
fight harder in the knowledge that
the student body is behind them in
every contest, victory or defeat, as
long as it is gloriously fought.
OyO
Gus Cranz, our new yell leader, has
entered upon his duties in a commend-
able manner. Every one should try
to attend all the pep meetings and co-
FIV1
ordinate with Gus in whatever way he'
deems wise. Elmo Coon, whose ap-
pearance, is strangely reminiscent of
Jack Glenn, is assisting Gus.
OyO
The Chamber of Commerce helped
to relieve the training strain on the
football players by banqueting them
Monday night at the Bender Hotel. It
is gratifying to note the manner in
which the chamber is falling in be-
hind the football team and Rice in
general this year. We have every
reason to expect that the backing of
the Houston organization will result
in a solid support of the Houston pub
lie as a wbole
OyO
Sam Houston State Normal will be
our guests Saturday at Rice Field. A
record crowd should be at hand to
witness the "1927" Owl gridiron ma-
chine in action for the first time on
its home grounds. Sam Houston was
defeated by Centenary last Saturday,
but the Bearkats always put up a
stubborn battle against Rice.

While we're at it, let's get a good
intramural program of sports as the
other universities do. Besides pro-
moting Interest in varsity athletics,
intra-murals do a world of good to the
individual. Lots more than a one-
hour-a-week P. T. does, where the stu
dent gets all stiff one week and just
gets the kinks out when it happens
all over again.

| We can't imagine why they are

seen one so awfully green.
Coach Ashcraft assured the Thresh-
er that he is ready to cooperate in
the intramural sports field when he
was approached on the subject last
Wednesday. He is willing to draw up
a schedule and referee the contests if
enough men report to warrant
contests for the season.
I
i Last year intramurals consisted in
ja series of football games between the
! Residential Halls and the Town teams,
J a class team basketball series, and a
program of track and field events in
[the spring. Registrar McCann and
! Gaylord Jfthhson, Athletic Manager,
both frown on a resumption of football
i hostilities in the view that some of
I tlie contestants might be injured. The
suggestion that a season of class
basketball contests be started earlier
has been made to both Coach
Ashcraft and the Thresher sports
staff, and has found approval in both
places. A call for class athletes Will
probably be made in the next few
weeks, and a hearty response should
reward Mr. Ashcraft for his interest In
! the semi athletes.
The intramurals last year did not
finish as strongly as they started as
i many men dropped out before the
| e ig h t contests were concluded,
i Sophomore were especially promi-
ment by their absence. While this may
not indicate a superfluity of jelly bean
collegians, this year will give the
present Juniors a chance to show
their stuff. A bigger, better year of
intramurals may convince the athletic
council that intramurals are ready to
supplant compulsory P. T. with its
one a week attack of joint stiffness
with no physical beneft worth while
to the average sudent.
Intramurals have been very success
ful at Texas, and the other conference
schools of the state. Rice has as good
a chance as the rest in the Intramural
field, and Coach Ashcraft's Interest
indicates a good season in intramurals
at Rice.
