By MAN SON STELL
Fighting under the shadow of their
goal posts for the first half, the Rice
Owls held the powerful Louisiana
State University Tigers to a 9 to 9 tie.
Kept oh the defensive from the be-
ginning until the half line plunges
and the educated toe of Abe Mickal,
the Owl eleven gave exhibition of fine
football, but a brand of football that
could never have been played with-
out that fighting spirit the Owls have
obtained this year.
There were 11,000 people watching
a game that looked like from the start
was going to be a stampede. It
wasn't. Rice held against "Bill" Jones'
Tigers time after time and withstood
the powerful offensive that would
have smattered to bits most any other
team in the conference.
Bill Wallace was forced to kick
from under the goal posts many times.
Rice made one first down in the first
Half and only carried the ball six
times. At the half things looked bad
to the fans and students, but they
were all feeling lucky as there was no
score as yet.
Then came the change. Kitts' boys
had on their blue uniforms and they
seemed to be as lucky for the Rice
squad as they had been for L. S. U. 1
From the beginning to the end of the !
second half the Owls played the Tigers j
off their feet. Wallace began to slip
by tacklers; MeCauley and Wilt com-
pleted a long pass; then the star of i
the game, Leche Sylvester, place ■
between the j
ed themselves to the limit and
had to be carried from the field be-
cause of an attack of heat exhaus-
tion. Biering, a new man from Sch-
reiner Institute, gave a fine perform-
ance. He captained the Schreiner team
and it is evident that he will be an
asset to the Rice line. Witt and
Friedman backed up the line in such
a way the Tigers didn't have a chance
to make yardage in that direction,
Coach Kitts Was very happy over
the way his boys played against the
Tigers. Coming from behind to tie a
game they were scheduled to lose the
powerful, fighting Owl eleven checks
Okay; No, 2 off their list.

Coaches Dutch Meyer and Bear Wolf of T. C. U. are shown here watching
the Horned Frogs work out while they map out a campaign for use against
Arkansas in Fort Worth Saturday. The game will be (he firs! conference tilt
of the 1934 season and the first conference contest in which a Meyer-coached

kicked the ball sma;
goal posts chalking'djjF the first score
of the game.' The goEjJ was kicked
from the side, but, as usual, Leehe
was there with "the goods".
During the first of the fourth quar-
ter Coffee of L. S. U. fumbled and the
ball was recovered by Sylvester. Ray
Smith then took off through a hole in
left tackle and just as ho was about
to be tackled he threw a lateral pass
to Buck Friedman who galloped the
remaining distance to the goal with
no interference whatever.
That feave 'thc Owls a nice lead of 9
points which looked mighty big in this
game. The Tigers wouldn't stand for
it and on a quick kick by Mickal the
ball rolled to the one yard line and
Ray Smith was downed there before
he had a chance to return it. Rice
then pulled the smartest play of the
game and allowed the L. S. U. team
a touchback instead of taking a chance
on a blocked punt.
Rice kicked off from the 20 yard
line, and the ball landed in the arms
of Rock Reed who returned it 33
yards to the Rice 27 yard line. The
Tigers pushed over a touchdown and
the magic toe of Mickal added the
point that tied the game.
The first half of the game was a
punting duel between Wallace and
MicWal. Wallace got off some nice
punts but Mickal took the honors.
Percy Arthur never played a belter
game and was the only man on either
Victorious in their first two games
of the season against Denton Teachers
and Austin College by scores of 33-0,
the S. M, U. Mustangs, under the di-
rection of Coaches Ray Morrison and
Matty Bell invade Baton Rouge to
hunt Tigers tomorrow.
The Louisiana State Tigers under
Biff Jones are lying in wait to get the
Ponies, picked to win the Southwest
Conference championship. Last week
the Tigers had to fight to get a tie with
Rice.
Rice battles S. M. U. in their first
conference game next Saturday, and j
Rice fans are awaiting with interest j
the outcome of the game today. !P§|
M. U. last week let the Austin Col-1
lege Eagles down without a Itr.^( down,:
indicating that they possess- a strong j
defense, but the game tomorrow;
should definitely decide whether or 1
not they have. ■ '' ^ .
The Tigers, led by the tricky Abe
Mickal, will give? the Ponies, a real
test, their first of the season. Mickal
is one of the best kickers in the
South, and he is liable to put Morri-
son's cohorts in the hole many times
with his punting,
S. M. U.'s line is led by Captain Ray
Fuqua, star end of the Ponies for the
past three years and captain for the j
last two. MaUt'ice Orr, big 215-pound i
junior tackle has also been bringing :
smiles to the faces of the Mustang I
mentors with his great all-round play, j
These two and Wetzel make up the j
left side of the line. Bradford is at j
center, and on the right side of the.
line are Stamps at guard. Carter at
tackle, and Smith at end.
In the backfield are Shuford, Burt,
Sprague, and Wilson. Wilson is the
fastest man on the team and an elu-
sive broken field runner.
Fred Hecker
Made Coach
At Purdue U
Capt. Arthur and Metzler
Opposed New Coach in
High School
Added interest will be given to the
Rice-Purdue game this week by the
fact that Fred Hecker, former star of
Sam Houston High School of Houston,
is the assistant coach of the Boiler-'
makers' backfield.
Hecker, while in high school played
against several members of the RiiSe'
team. Working with Jim Purvis, new
headI backfield coach, Hecker , will
teach the Boilermakers the tricks to
be used against the Southwcsterners
Hecker played against Percy Arthur
when Arthur was the star center Of
the John Reagan team "Doc" Metz-
ler u'.ao played against Hecker while
on the Reagan team. Hecker played
on the first Houston High School ell-
star team, and led thenn tt> a crushing
victory over Englewood High School
from Chicago.
Hecker, in his three years at Purdue
was used in every conceivable back-
tieid combination, excelling in running,
passing, and blocking. He was said
to lie one .of the most, accurate passers
of Purdue history, For his three years
in Purdue, when he was used at half
in his J Sophomore and junior years and
at full in his final year, Hecker av-
eraged almost four yards for each play
from scrimmage.
In the recent Purdue Var.sity-Almni
game Hecker, playing with the Alumni,
teamed with Paul Moss to lead the,
Alunmi to a 13-7 win over the varsity, J
passing to Moss for the winning,
touchdown. I
Although his offensive work was!
more spectacular, Hecker was also
: very valuable on defense. Used as a
defensive half in his first two years,
Hecker cut down many runners with
his slashing tackjes. In his senior
year he was used at full and had as
part of his job backing up the line on
defense. Hecker was generally to be
found at the bottom of the heap with
his arms around the runners legs
after the plays were piled up.
As a final honor Hecker was voted
the most valuable player on the Pur-
due squad im ognition of his all
round ability,
