With spring football practice open-
ing officially next Monday our
thoughts wander to that annual com-
ment of the football fan, "Wait 'till
next year."
Jimmy Kitts, new head football
coach, is likely to be looking .special-
ly hard for a pair of guards to (ill out
'•ext yeiirsilist of probable stars. Three
freshmen guard prospects have a
chance to cast themselves? in the role
of heroes next year by felling the bill
at that post. They are Joe Morris,
Harry Shelton, and W. D. Agnor.
Morris, Shelton, and Agnor are all
built, on the same line, short and
stocky. Another pair of freshmen who
vill be watched are "Primo" Miller
and Frankie, big tackles from the
i .'.le team. The nwd for players of
Varsity toliber at these positions-Is due
to i.M felt; if these or other varsity
(juadmon do not plug the gaps.

The only way out is to introduce a

must take the profit, out of war, and
there will not be any more wars. The
people must take more interest and
have more hand in running the gov-

teaus of Utah.
"The little details on the Canyon
walls enable the scientists to discover
' important events ir, its history," the
I lecturer pointed out.
i The region has gone through three
periods of erosion, resulting in the
j Grand Canyon as it is today.
j "The cliffs seen today are the re-
i suit of erosion, not of upheavals," Doc-
tor Johnson said.
In closing the speaker emphasized
"the grandeur of the conception of j
i geologic time, as compared with the i
brief span of human life."
Atlantic Shoreline
i There is no danger of New York or j
, any other seacoast city being sub- j
j merged in the sea in the course of time.
; according to scientific evidence pre- j
: seated Wednesday evening by Profes- j
sor Johnson in the lecture on the "TJyo- I
• ••♦ion of the Atlantic "Shoreline,"
The dramatic was taken-out of the |
; sinking of the coast line as the physi-
ographer presented proofs of "long con-
tinued coastal stability."
The nature of wave action was ex-
plained and diagrams presented in the
j introductory remarks.
"Storm waves make the changes in j
i the shore line. Contrary to appear- j
awe. there is system in the waves. 1
The confusion that i* seen as the re- !
suit of two or three systems of waves !
I crisscrossing," stated fVictor Johnson. I
Genetic classes of shorelines were !
: illustrated. The shoreline of emerg- |
ence, exemplified by the offshore bar, j
: is the result of the waters dropping, |
and the shoreline emerging. Shore- i
hne of submergence is illustrated by ■
Mt Desert 4jland in Maine, where for- i
rner mountain tops are visible on the j
rocky coast. Evidence is seen in the I
gradual sinking of the land.
Sinking Still Going On? ^
The main discussion was centered
around this question: Is this sinking
still going on?
First the arguments in favor of re-
rent subsistence of the coast, with sup-
porting proof in illustrations, were
given.
"Rapidity of wave action is in itself
proof of the sinking of the land. Valid
proof is confirmed by submerged tree
trunks in the Bay of Fundy, where they
ore covered every day thirty-five feet
below high tide. Obviously the trees
did not grow under such conditions.
Furthermore, the process of killing of
trees can be seen with your own eyes,"
Doctor Johnson continued.
Apologizing for taking the dramatic
outaof the question, the famous scientist
then refuted Ihose arguments in favor
of subsidence of the coast and gave
conclusive broofs of "long continued
coastal stability."
The series of lectures were concluded
Thursday evening with the address on
"A Physiographic Traverse of the
United States."
This year's Rice Tennis Squad will
engage in the most ambitions schedule
ever to be undertaken by a Tennis team
in the history of the Institute.
The "course busting" schedule will
start on March 25th when the Owls wffl
meet a picked team from River Oaks.
On March 30th the Tularie University
Green Waves tennis team will come to
Houston. Last year the Owls defeated
the Tulane team in some hard fought
matches.
The Owls will take to the road on
April 6th when they will go up to Col-
lege Station to meet the Texas Aggies.
The following week-end will a'so tind
the Owls on the road. On April 13 they
will play the strong Louisiana State
University .Tigers at Baton Rouge and
the following day, April 14th, they jump
over to play the Tulane University
team in a return match at New Orleans.
The Rice team will return on April
21st to meet a team compjsed of former
f.ice lettermen. The team will include
Jake Hess, former conference singles
champion, Quin Connelly, Winthrop
Carter, and Edwin Bachenbach.
The Texas University netinen will
come to Houston on April 28th. This
match will show what chance the Owls
will have in the conference meet as the
Steers are pre-season picks to win the
conference championship.
Louisiana State University will com-
plete their home and home agreement
with the Owls when they come to
Houston on May 5th.
The Owls will complete their pre-
! conference matches on May 7th when
I they meet the Southern Methodist
| University netmen here.
! The conference meet will be held at
! Waco this year on May 10, 11, 12.
Besides the regular schedule Owl
j players will enter the RWo Oaks In-
vitation Tournament that will bp held
. during the week of April 2-7.
This afternoon Owl netmen will pla'v
j some intra-team matches to determine
! squad ranking, The matches start at
j 3:00 P. M. at Rice Varsity Courts.
! Students are invited to watch the
! matches. Wilbur Hess, men's single
| champion of Texas will Meet Bob Al-
I len to decide the number 1 and 2
! squad rankings. Fred, Alter and Otto
i^ac ■hlas will fight It. out for nuiftber
j three and four positions, Some doubles
matches will also lie played. Bill Lor-
rimer and Edgar Smith will probably
be the other two members carried on
the squad and they will push the first
four ranking lumbers.
Owl Harriers
Enter Ft. Worth
Fat Stock Meet
Coach Ernie Hjertberg's Blue and
Gray Track Team leave today for Ft.
Worth, where tomorrow they will par-
ticipate in the Ft. Worth Fat Stock
Show Track Meet. The entire team
will not be carried along on this trip
Coach Hjertberg said, but only the
following men will go: Capt, Bob
Sehulze, Elmo Hutzler, Smokie Broth-
ers, Red Haley, Bull Johnson, John
Coffee, and Tom Lollar.
Rice is expected to show her great-
est strength tomorrow in the relays.
The relay team is made up of Capt.
Schultz, Hutzler, Brothers, and Haley.
Hutzler and Haley will also do duty
in the 100-yard dash. Brothers and
Lollar will run the quarter-mile, wfiile
Capt. Bob Schultz will be entered in
the half-mile. Bull Johnson will sling
the discus. Johnson will also do the
shotputting, for the Rice tracksters.
Coach Hjertberg has been sending
bi.s men through intense training for
the past week in preparation for Fat
Stock Show Meet. Time trials run
during the past week seem to indicate
that Rice may be a "dark horse" en-
try in the Ft. Worth games. Coach
Hjertberg, however, is not overly op-
tomistic—as usual.
The Owl cindcrmen will make the
trip by car, and !hey will return Sun-
day. '

THEATERS
LOEW'S
One of the most glamorous crea-
tures to grace the screen during the
past detfnde is Ann Sten; starring at
Loew's in "Nana", adapted from the
famous Zola Story.
Anna Sten hails from Soviet Russia
where she got a poor start as a poor
girl until she received her chance on
the stage and screen. Her success was
instant both in Europe and in Amer-
ica, Already her first film has estab-
lished box office records which may
never be equaled or broken.
The film is carefully designed by
Samuel Goldwyn, her sponsor, to show
her in a great variety of emotioas and
costumes with emphasis on her na-
tural beauty.
MAJESTIC
Few pictures come to the screen
with so fortunate a combination of
cast, direction, production and vehicle
p< proud popularity aa that which dis-
tinguishes "Death Takes a Holiday,'
at the Majeatlc Friday.
Fredrlc March in the starring role
makes another bid for the best acting
award of the Academy of Motion Pic;
ture Arts and Sciences which he won
with his role in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde," in 1932. Evelyn Venahle is
serenely beautiful in the ( featured
feminine role. Sir Guy 'Standing,
Kent Taylor, Katherine Alexander,
Harry Travers, Helen Westley, Kath-
leen Howard and G. P. Huntley, Jr.,
complete the cast of actors each of
whom gives on outstanding perform-
ance in a play that demands the best.
"Death Takes a Holiday" is based
upon the play by Alberto Casella,
adapted into English by Walter Ferris.
Its frankly provocative theme con-
cerns the problem of death taking a
three-day holiday that he may study
life, learn why men love living and
fear the eternal parting. He comes
to earth as a gay, dashing, romantic
lover, enthusiastically taking part in
all life's pastimes and games.
METROPOLITAN
Dave Apollon, Russion comedian,
dancer, balalaikist and master of cere-
monies, listened to the urge to pro-
duce something novel in stage enter-
tainment and as the result finds him-
self producer and owner of Dave
Apollon's Continental Revue, a me-
lange of mirth, melody and motion.
Apollon's concoction, with a cast of 35
entertainers, is the stage .portion of
the program opening Saturday at the
Metropolitan.
"Come on Marines" is the picture,
with Richard Arlen and Ida Lupino.
Himself an entertainer of the first
rank, Apollon always wanted to do a
revue — something entirely different
from anything anyone else ever at-
tempted. The newspaper comments
renching here say Apollon has suc-
ceeded in gatherin the breeziest and
brightest revue of the year. There's
special music, too, and the whole com-
bination had ita beginning in Apollon's
mind and ambition.

"jVTO two people in the world look

tobacco . . . just like folks.
No two leaves are the same.
And it's the same with cigarettes...
no two brands arfe alike.
Furthermore, not only are the to-
baccos different, but the way the to-
baccos arp handled is different.
This, you can understand.
You know just as well as we do
that no two manufacturers use the
same kinds of tobaccos, or blend them
or cross-blend them or weld them
together in the same manner.
We do everything that science
knows and that money can buy to
make CHESTERFIELD as good a
cigarette as can be made.
We hope you like them. They are
