Fighting hard to overcome an eight-
point lead, the Owls against Texas got
hot in the last 11 minutes of play, and
cut loose a bewildering passing and
scoring attack that almost stood the
Longhorns on their heads.
Leading the Owl offensive were
Virgil Dixon, brilliant forward from
Streator, III., whose consistent and
spectacular goal tossing and dribbling
was a big factor in the Rice victory;
Blake Seilcrs, whose work under the
basket was very hard on the Steers,
and Ray Hart, great forward from
Streator, who turned in one of the best
games of the season before leaving

the game in the final moments of play
on personal fouls.
"Flrpo" McCarUe was named cap-
tain for the afternoon, and his con-
sistent defensive (day was an outstand-
ing feature of the game.
For the Longhorns, Karl Taylor was
the leading sewer with 15 markers,
while Elkins and Price also turned in
a great game on the floor and looped
the basket for 10 points each.
With only 10 minutes of the game
remaining, Texas was leading 37 to
35. Here, however, Ihe Longhorns
colled time out and the Owls were
Riven a free throw since it was the
fourth time out period asked by the
Steers. Ray Hart sank the free toss
and the score stood 37 to 36, but Price
came right back to sink a field goal
and put the Longhorns ahead. 39 to 36.
At this point, however, with Dixon
leading the way with several sensa-
tional heave* from the aide of the
court, and Hart and Sellers also shar-
ing in the glory, the Owls put on a de-
termined rally that was not to be
denied, and before the Texans knew
what had happened, had taken a com-
manding lead.
The game ended with Dixon sinking
a great shot as he was falling to the
floor.
In the Aggie game, the Owls held a
20 to 14 lead with only four minutes
to go, but here the Farmers put on a
spirited rally to distance the Rice five
which had the game almost in the bag.
"Shiro" Hoke, Farmer center, led the
Aggies on to victory.
