Slashing through a series of five
games In the last two weeks, the
Rice Owls brought home the bacon
In four out of the five games.
The Baylor Bears from Waco were
the first victims, and the game is an-
cient history, llice surprised the
poorly defending Bruins with a bar-
rage of shots in the last few min-
utes that ran up a ten point lead to
leave the Bears in the lowly position
of defeat.
Bice journeyed to College Station
to take the Aggies into camp after a
furious struggle. The final score
was 33 to 30. The game dragged the
Owls out of the cellar and relegated
the Aggies to that position.
Texas University visited at the In-
stitute and the poor play of the
Owls or rather their lack of ability
at free throws cost a victory. Bas
kets by Rose in the last few minutes
marked up a 36 to 34 win for the
Longhorns. Little "Brute" Morgan
featured with his floor work. Three
times he flashed through the entire
Texas teani to score, and his work
completely outclassed that of Brock
of Texas. Only Big Un Rose showed
to advantage beside Morgan and his
huge height was responsible for most
of this superiority.
Rice next took their spite out on
the strong Y. M. C. A. team. They
walloped the Green Triangles by a
10 point margin. The Slimes point-
ed the way in this game by wallop-
ing the Houston Sporting Goods
teom 30-19 in a game that was theirs
from start to finish. The Varsity
was so enheartened by the Green
Owls that, they plastered the Tri-
angles by a 32-20 count.
The fifth game and the fourth vic-
tory for the Owls was snatched
from the fire when Buddy Kendricks
draped an overhead shot into the
meshes to snake a 1 point victory
over T. C. U. last Monday night. The
gun fired a moment later to have the
count 21-20 in Rice's favor, and Rice
took undisputed possession of fourth
place as a result. Morgan was high
point man in hid usual style.
This last game marked a departure
in the Rice style of play. The game
was a slow affair, closely guarded
with very few crip ahoti. Morgan'!
■Inking of two free throws after a
field goal wbloh he made in pite of
the foul, proved the feature of the
evening. He scored four points on
this item.
The last game also marked a radi-
cal Increase in the number of free
throws converted. From 6 out of 18
in the Texas game. Rice took 6 out
of 8 In the T. 0. U. game.
Morgan and Grant with Zuber have
lead in the scoring and calibre of
floor work, although Buddy Kendricks
and Koenlg have been coming through
in fine style In the last two games.
The order of the teams In the con-
ference standings through Monday
night: Arkansas, S. M. U.. Texas,
Rice, Baylor, T. C. U., A. and M.
HCTURETAHNG TO
END FEBRUARY 28
The latest announcement from the
Campanile is to the effect that all
Senior pictures must be taken by
February 28, since all copy for the
Senior panels must be in the hands of
the engraver on that date.
For the same reason all organiza-
tion pictures must be completed be-
fore the end of this month, and those
organizations which have not attend'
ed to the matter of pictures should
do so right away.
It is the firm intention of the staff
that the hook shall be on time this
year, and it is with this end in view
that the deadlines have been imposed
and will be enforced.
Anyone with suggestions to offer
tor the book, as tor the Raok Section,
etc., should submit their ideas to H.
8. McConnell before March I.

A Marvel of National Defense
From this 2};>-acre deck, Uncle
Sam's battle planes can now leap
into action—sure of a landing
place on their return, though <a
thousand miles from shore.
This marvel of national defense
was accomplished—and duplicated
—when the airplane carrier, U.S.S.
Saratoga, and her sister ship, U.S.S.
Lexington, were completely
electrified.
In each, four General Electric
turbine-generators deliver,
combined, 180,000 horsepower to
the propellers—enough to drive the
ship at 33 knots (39 miles an hour )
—enough to furnish light and power
for a city of half a million
people.
The design and construction of the
electric equipment for the U. S. S.
Saratoga and the U.S.S. Lexington,
to which college-trained men con-
tributed in great measure,
exemplify the part General
Electric plays in promoting
the welfare of the nation.
