Cruiser Cincinnati Receives Thorough
Inspection at Hands of Rice Engineers
By O. C. Talbert
Halryearu of the Institute as guests
of the Rice A. 8. M. E., turned out
In full force Monday afternoon, Febru-
ary 24, to give the I'. 8, S. lijsltt cruis-
er Cincinnati the once over. About
forty engineer* gathered at the foot
or the ship's guilt; flunk.
t'lion boarding the'ship, the jiarty
was divided into nroups or ten each,
and a member of the engineering
crew was assigned as a guide for each
group. The trip below decks was
so arranged that two of the groups
visited the engine rooms while the
other two visited the boiler rooms.
The ship lias twelve water tube
hollers burning oil as fuel. These
boilers are divided among four holds,
each hold being Identical with the oth-
ers and containing side by side three
boilers, with complete auxiliary equip-
ment,
The temperature in the hold during
the visit was about 115 degrees. The
Halryears were told thai when all
boilers are in operation the tempera
ture In the boiler room, as well as In
the engine room, sometimes reaches
as high as 140 (lCiil'ees. Several stu-
dents thereupon forgot marine' engi-
neering as a profession.
The two engine rooms each con-
tained two complete turbine units
with each unit drl lug one propeller
shaft, there being four propellers.
About la knots ear be obtained with
an auxiliary turbine arrangement,
very small quantities of steam being
used. Almost 40 kntUs can be attained
with the use of the large turbines
only.
Hue of the nios interesting fea-
tures of the trip to ihe students was
the telegraph systems by means of
which the bridge an communicate
orders to all parti of the ship.
After the trip I
party scattered to
the ship as they
the high spots of
tin escorting of i
gill,shed members
M. I-.'. class front i
son perceived the idea of seeing how
high up the mast he could climb but
visitors were supposed to tay on the
deck, ho when Hodgson came down
he was very politely eacorted to the
gang plunk by a member of the crew.
Members of the party were very
much Interested lu the six torpedo
tubes, the revolving turrets with their
six inch guns and the ship's arsenal.
Owl Appears in Third tuue
From the Pens of Architecti
A special architect's edition of The
Owl appeared on the campus Friday.
The staff of the magazine gave its
place over to a group of architects
headed by ('orrlnne Crawfoord as Is-
sue editor.
The cover design tor the Architect's
Number was done by Francis Vesey.

CONFERENCE STARS—
(Continued from page 1)
over scored eight points in about
four minutes at the beginning of
Tuesday's game against the Wee
Owls, but lie is essentially a team
player -giving up personal glory for
the good of his machine. He Is one
of the most consistent players In the
conference, and as captain of the
Ituzorbacks gave all he had In an ef-
fort to regain the conference title for
Arkunsas. He was successful.
.lake ljehry Hess Jr. of nice Insti-
tute, If you please. Jake bus always
subordinated himself to team play
but nevertheless he was high scorer
for the UUie-Arkansas series. H will be
the conference's leading scorer tills
year, we believe. Hess is it "junior
and will lie back for more next year.
He also stars on the tennis court, and
will captain the Idee net squad this
year.
Captain Ktiry of T. r. Is our
choice at < efkt-'.'-r. Kitt'y litis proved
himself a capable lender, and is one
of the highest scorers in the circuit.
Nona Keen, guard, of the Texas
Longhorna. How many JUc« tans re-
member that "Easy, Prank" or the
first Rica-Texas game this year?
'Twaa Nona himself, speaking. The
diminutive Steer la a triple-threat
man, He's a crack basketball guard,
a heady football quarterback, and a
catcher de luxe on the baaeball dia-
mond. '
Prewitt from Fayettevllle, Arkan-
sas, some 400 miles from Houston,
will be lost to the Porkers after this
season. He and Schoouover were the
greatest stars on Arkansas' cham-
pionship combination.
Now to our second team "Big
Trn" Rose of Austin, Texas, gets the
call at forward. Were it not for
Hcboonover and Hess, this tall lad
would be on the first team. Hose Ib
an all-conference football end. and an
even better basketball player.
Hay Har of Hlee was favored to
lake the circuit's high-scoring title
until he was quenched In the Arkan-
sas series. He'll probably redeem
himself tomorrow night against Bay-
lor, and will be a cinch for the first
all-Southwest, team next year. Hess
and Hart make the greatest pair of
forwards in the conference.
Rice fanB have a thorough hatred
for Holt, Porker center, who <«ems
to range somewhere between four-
teen and fifteen feet in height. An
excellent performer, who did a lot
to wiu the pennant for his school.
The two guard positions on oar sec-
ond-string team were thought about
more than any other two jobs on the
teams. Hamilton of 8. M. V. was fin-
ally awarded the first guard position.
Hammon is a football player—an all-
Southwestern. and captain-elect of the
Mustang eleven. He's a crack basket-
ball guard, and when fhc track season
rolls around he'll be seen tossing the
javeliu over two-hundred feet.
Hell of the Texas Aggies finally got,
the last vacant job Ate had. Bell Is a
basketeer of no mean ability.
A galaxy of stars are listed under
the heading, "Honorable Mention."
Kach one of (hem Is a sterling play-
er, and many of them may be con-
sidered serious threats on the courts
again next. year.
The captain of every conference
team has been mentioned in our all-
Conference selection for 1930.
