Displaying a determined and steady
attack, Rice held the champion Arkan-
sas Razorbacks to small-margin vic-
tories in a pair of contests on the
City Auditorium floor last Friday and
Saturday. The final scores were 20-
11 and 28-23 in favor of the Razor-
backs.
Using a deliberate attack and
guarding the Hogs closely, Rice
emerged on the long end of a 6-5
score at the first half of the initial
contest. "Brute" Morgan dropped in
a shot, as did one of the Arkansas
players, and free throws augmented
the rest of the score.
Arkansas got right at the start of
the second period and rolled up a
nice lead bdiore Rice got settled
again. The Owls were undanuted by
the catastrophe and settled down to
overtake the Hogs, but the final gun
found them still far In the rear.
"Brute" Morgan was high point
man of the affair with some 9 points.
The second game found the Owls
displaying a faster type of play. Ar-
kansas got the lead at the start and
ran the count up to 9 before Rice
scored. The Owls got loose, though,
and the Mountaineers were leading,
15-10, at the half.
Rice fought, harder in the second
half, although they were at a disad-
vantage in that Pickel directed every
tipoff. With but a minute to go, the
score was 23-21 in favor of Arkansas.
A few minutes of desperate ^tailing
by Arkansas found the score ?5-23,
but Rice fouls were converted, one
into a field goal and the other a free
throw, to widen the margin just as
the final gun sounded.
The Owls fought splendidly, with
Morgan and Grant carrying the bulk
of the floor work, although the drib-
bling of Koenig and Thomas was an
important part of the play.
Kendricks showed to advantage in
the first half of the first game on the
jump, but Pickel seemed to take the
ball from then on.
Zuber was knocked cold in a melee
during the first game, and his condi-
tion was partially responsible for the
superiority which the Arkansas, team
showed in scoring.
Rice holds the1 distinction of having
held the Raaorbacka to lower margins
of victory than S. M. U., Texas, A.
& M, or Baylor. Hie Daugherlty-
coached basket dingers played before
capacity crowds both nights.

Interest in the closing roundup of
the Conference basketball season is
concentrated in the second division.
Arkansas, 8. M. U. and Texas have
cinched the first three positions, but
the fight between Rice, T. C. U. and
Baylor for fourth place is still in-
tense.
A great measure of the outcome
will depend on this week's games,
which will see Rice finish her sched-
ule. If Rice beats T. C. U. she will
end in fourth place, in all likelihood.
Otherwise, the Owls will have to be
content with fifth or sixth.

CAMPUS CLEAN-UP
Tony Sorts Campus Wrecks
As Hopeful and Hopeless.
BY TED STRONG
There are campus wrecks, and cam-
pus wrecks. But when does the cam-
pus wreck become campus Junk? At
what stage in its evolution toward
decrepancy must it be separated from
the other more active members of its
family to have read over it the fate-
ful funeral service and be conveyed
away to the happy hunting ground?
Tony, guardian of our shrubs, flower
beds, lawns, and jealous watchman
over the Institute's best appearances,
asserts that every automobile has its
day, after which It deserves decent
burial.
For weeks Tony has watched over-
ailed, grease bedaubed students la-
bor lovingly but hopelessly over cer-
tain battered monstrosities back of
West Hall,' which once might have
passed for automobiles. There were
strange three wheeled creatures lack-
ing tops, windshields, and paint.
There was a two-legged monster of un-
known origin laying prostrate on Its
twisted nose, for all the world like
some capsized airplane. Other skele-
tons were minus engines, radiators,
tires, tops, bottoms and middles.
Some still bravely flaunted on their
weather beaten sides collegiate epi-
grams. One particularly decrepit
specimen bore a Marylar-' license
tag, though Tony confidently gave it
as his .opinion that no such wreck
ever could have rambled that far on
its own power.
But still the labors went on. There
was hammering und sweating and
cussing. Some days, says Tony, the I
area back of West Hall sounded like |
a wagon factory—water wagons at
that. The peaceful calm of the cam-
pus on Sunday morning was often dis-
rupted by the jangling of old Iron, or
the vlolen tprofanlty of youthufl me-
m
chanics exploring the innards of one
of these strange creatures. It was
also asserted by reliable authorities
that these prolonged endebvors to
resuscitate the dead or dying, were
keeping students away from studies,
away from Palmer Chapel, and were
keeping Tony's hardworking horses
awake on Sunday morning.
So one day early this week Tony
and his aides de camp swooped down
on the boneyard and began an elimi-
nation. Every machine not able to
show the usual number of wheels,
with an engine and other lndlspens-
Ible parts was singled out. A team
of horses was used to haul the crip-
ples away. Further up the road they
were buried, or "parked" as you wish
It. So there they now stand In a
solemn row of seven, and a reminder
of what used to be.
MR. MENCKEN THINKS
TOO MANY ENTERED IN
AMERICAN COLLEGES
[By New Student Service]
Ithaca, N. Y. — "I am thoroughly
convinced that too many young
Americans are now going to college
and that their presence is greatly
impeding the work of the colleges.
Certainly it should be possible to de-
vise some scheme to weed out the
unfit." Thus spake Henry h. Menck-
en to a reporter for the Cornell Sun,
in one of several interviews recently
granted to college papers.
Mr. Mencken, we are told, "is op-
posed to the college for the purposes
of intellectual education. With Na-
than, he holds that its greatest bene-
fits are social.'1
Of compulsory military training,
the editor of the Mercury said:
"The military training idea seems
to me absurd. I see no reason why
the college student should be con-
scripted and not the young man out-
side."
And of the lecture system:
"The American system, it seems to
me, is better for Americans than the
Oxford system. It is obviously more
in accord with the habits of mind of
our people."
And of fraternities:
"Regarding fraternities, I know-
nothing. It is commonly alleged that
they foster snobbery. But I see no
objection to snobbery per se; all ra-
tional men are snobs In some way or
another. That the fraternities exalt
fifth-raters and overlook men of mer-
it may be true, but the accusation
might be leveled against any other
human Institution."
Mr. Mencken urges all who feel the
urge to write, first to obtain steady
employment. Until recently he sug-
gested bootlegging, but the strength
of competition has led to advocacy
of taxi driving and similar occupa-
tions.
Mrs. J ,F. Spencer, director of mu-
sic at Palmer Chapel, is anxious to
obtain more voices for the choir.
Those Interested please come to choir
rehearsal on Wednesday at 7:30 p. m.
sharp.
