Prospects for the Rice Owl track team
taking a few points in the hurdles in
meets this year were given a decided
boost when Wendel Ley and Fred
Kroschel ran a dead heat in the 120-
yard event in time trials held by Coach
Hjertberg last week. Both Ley and
Kroschel broke the tape in 15.2, two-
tenths of a second above the conference
record. This pair will give the Owls
two first class hurdlers and greatly
enhance the chances of the Rice track
team for winning the conference meet,

Rice this year promises to have a
crackerjack 440-yard relay team, which
should go places and do things. The
fact that Ray Harbour and Ed Hollo-
way, two of the most promising ath-
letes on the squad, ran a dead heat in
the quarter mile speaks well for the
Owls' chances. Harbour and Holloway
tied in the race with the very fast time
of 50.2, and both are capable of fur-
ther lowering this mark. The other two
fast 440 runners are Dick Jamerson and
Gene Chambers. Both Jamerson and
Chambers in the 440-yard relay would
be hard to beat.

Another step in the perfection of the
Cwl football schedule for 1931 was
made when Gaylord Johnson, manager
of athletics at Rice, announced that a
game had been arranged with the Fort
Crockett Flyers at Galveston on the
night of October 2. This will be the
first time thai a college football team
has invaded Galveston since 1915, when
A. and M, and Louisiana State clashed
there in an intersectional battle.
* «. •
Coach Johnny Niemiec is hard at
work with his Rice Owl baseball nine.
Johnny is interested in developing
some sturdy hitters this season, and
has had his sluggers in the batter's
cage socking the balls.
One lad who seems set to hit the
old apple at a solid clip is Harry Rnck,
second baseman from Seguin. Enck
takes a healthy cut at the ball, and
of late has been connecting squarely
and frequently.
Final examinations are not required
at the University of Denver. Under a
system just adopted there, each pro-
fessor may complete his course accord-
ing to the plan that seems best suited
to his class.

Ad Dietzel, high scoring center for
the champion T. C. U. Horned Frog
basketball squad, set a new Southwest
conference rccord for scoring when he
ran up a total of 168 points for the
season.
Dietzel's mark is seven points above
the record formerly held by Holly
Brock of Texas. Brock is now playing
with the Houston Y.M.C.A. Triangles.
Last year Jake Hess of Rice led the
conference in goal tossing while his
team mate, Ray Hart, was runner-up.
Blake Sellers, Virgil Dixon and Hart
of Rice, were not far behind Dietzel In
this year's chase.

smart for dining, informal danc-
ing, the theatre, an afternoon at
back gammon, or a decorative
evening at home?
Splashy floral patterns or mont.

tive . . . although patterned chif-
fons are seen a bit oftener.

Historian Dresses as Hobo
And Ventures into

To Thfc UW Tfir$tfti*r.
Fort Worth.- Attired as a hobo,
Prof. W. J. Hammond of the history
department of Texas Christian Uni-
versity, tramps in Old Mexico during
the summers In order to gather ma.
terlai for a course In "History of Our
Southern liortlerlamls."
On a recent tramp through the hill
country of northern Mexico, Professor
Hammond and an American traveling
companion made a special trip luto
territory that was said to be Infested
with hostile bandits. The professor
wanted to test his contention that
Mexico Is now a safe place In which
to travel.
"We did not have to look long for
the bandits," Professor Hammond ro-
lates. "in fact, they saw us first.
However, instead of being shot at sun-
rise, or held for ransom, we wore
given food and sent on our way by
the 'bad men.' Wo merely sang some
Of their folk tongs," the profeaaor
•spialned. .:|
"I believe that President Rubio 1$
doing much toward the betterment of
the Mexican people." Professor Ham-
mond says. "The casual visitor to
Mexico City thinks, from looking at
lome of the unfinished and abandoued
public buildings, that progress is not
being made. But many of these proj-
ect* were begun by other president*,
and wore designed more for ornamen-
tation than for practical use. Pre l-
dent Kubio is devoting much time to
the rebuilding of Mexican commerce
by improving roads and canals."
