HANDICAPS HINDER RICE TRACKMEN IN
SECOND ANNUAL NEIGHBORHOOD MEET
Despite heavy handicaps Rice varsity and freshman track men,
upholding their home towns, showed to advantage against the best
of the state's talent at the second annual N. A. C. track and field
meet at Rice field last Saturday.
Such stars as Petty, Holloway, Bra-
cey, and promising youngsters which
include Raid and Scrivenor, freshmen
at Rice, furnished an appreciative
crowd plenty of action. Fifteen events
were run off with a large number
carrying handicaps.
The idea of handicapping, incident-
ally credited to Rice's Ernie Hjert
berg and founder of the N. A. C., gave

PRE-LAW BANQUET
SCENE COLLEGE INN
I College inn was the scene Thursday
: evening of a banquet, given by mem-
j bers of the Pre-law society. R. R. Al-
baugh, president, was toastmaster.
Henry Holden made a report on
progress of the dance committee. Doc
i Mize's orchestra, which played for the
Junior prom, will, in all probability,
furnish music for the lawyers' affair.
The hall has not been definitely de-
cided upon, there being some talk of
holding it either at River Oaks or at
the Houston club.
No action of a positive nature was
taken by Pre-lawyers on the matter
1 of helping out Autry house finances.
Delay was necessary pending a report
on finances of the club, but it is pretty
certain that members will play some
| part in keeping open the only social
! center, and convenient mee{£|g house,
ENGINEERS HEAR QUIN
ON 'PRESENT SITUATION'
The Engineering society had its reg-
ular meeting Wednesday night at
which, after a discussion of some of
the details of the Engineering show,
Bishop Clinton S. Quin spoke.
Bishop Quin's subject was "The
Present Situation". He revealed a
philosophy of life which made those
present feel that there was no depres-
sion. Everyone enjoyed his intimate
way of presentation.
19:10
The "talkies," so the story finally
goes, have come to stay. So much for
the hope that they had just popped in
for a chat.
