The Epic of the Year,

Last Saturday's Results.
We picked Texas to bent Baylor Ui U
.^uttinlay, and the haul,. ended in a
scoreless deadlock. While tile Uunn-
hoi'ns made seven first downs to five
for the I!i ai s, both teams played on
pretty even terms, T. t". V, poxsessei
the only undefeated, untied eleven In
the eontei'enee to date but It. appears
Ibal tliis perfect record will be spoiled
tomorrow at Austin.
Somehow, despite all we hear from
the dope«ters and professional sport
writers we don't believe lliee has lost,
her last football same tin's year. Throe
more names remain on tho Owls'
schedule ■ with A. and M. lomorrow-
Willi S. M. I'. at Uflilas November 21:1.
and vvitli Baylor hero, November .',0.
S. M. I". and Baylor are i oulVreilee
leaders, while A. and M. has a stjCouK
combination.
lint, win or lose, the lliee team this
year has always Riven the spectators
something to write home about. The
team has carried out tile slogan, "Rife
Fight Never Dies," to the letter. Any-
thing can happen on a football field,
and ilie Owls should be about due
for a break.

"i'is soniewbisit encouraging to nidi'
that. St. Edward's i'tiiversity, which
came to Houston to humble tho Owls
about three wi>eks ago, is one of the
leading leali'ts ill tie,' Texas Confer-
ence,
Tomorrow the feathered flock ties
up with the Oulots from College (Na-
tion in tho Owls' sefond cross-country
meet, of the current season. October
211 lite Texas LOugliorns took a de-
cision troni the Owls, and on Novm
her 'J tin- Aggies made mincemeat of
i lie Steers. With three of their men
annexing the first three places in tile
competition, the Aggies won from
Texas by the score of 21-US. So it is
seen that Coaci^ lljertberg's proteges
have no easy day lor themselves to-
morrow.
The Centenary (ieius lost ius* so
much more of their prowess last Sat-
urday when tliey were held to a d-0
tic by the Arkansas State Teachers,
lint In all fairness It must be said that
the (lentiemen outplayed their oppo-
nents throughout the game.
This Rr.iny Weather.
ttld Jupiter i'luvitis & Company lias
certainly been playing havoc with the
tool ball season of late. In our honest
opinion, it it had not been for the
downpours that have divulged on
many of the important, gridiron con-
tests during the last two or three
weeks, tic scores of many of them
w-ottld have been decidedly different.
* Then take it from the spectator's
point of view . Not only does rain and
gray skies prevent the average man
from taking trips with his team, but
in many cases they prevent Jjjin from
turning out to Its home games. No
one Is especially desirous of standing
for two hi urs or so in a constant
drizzle. Result: Considerable less
taken in at tin' gates than would have
been had Old Sol ruled supreme.
Freshman Golf Team Hard
Hit By Lack of Material
Prospects for the Rice Freshman
golf sijuad this year are not as bright
us possible, due to a lack of material.
There ere two players, however,
who have been cutting old man Par
away lately. (1. M. McCarthy and
Mounce turned in olassy cards to
Coach Ashcrnft, but. the scores fall
short of those rung up by the Fresh-
men of last year.
Inclement weather tills we^Jv. has
been a drawback for men trying to
break into tlte seven tie*, but It Is
Quito probable that warmer and drier
weather will bring a decided decrease
in tallies.

FOOTBALL}**-
Texan University and Baylor played
to a scoreless tie, with the honors
more to the Bruins. Tile Steers com-
pleted some beautiful passes, but the
Bears gained more ground by run-
ning. Juke Wilson, Jkiylor quarter
back, was easily the out-landing I'm
are, though several others played com-
mendable bull in spite oi' the fact the
gallic was, on tli1 whole, colorless.
