teer« Hope To Even Count With Mustang# After
osing First Encounter; Baccus Is Star
For Southern Methodist.
Tomorrow night the Rice Owls,
victors over Texas University last Sat-
urday night, will make their second
attempt of the season to overthrow
the S. M. U. Mustangs. The Ponies
whipped the Owls at Dallas while the
Kitts cagers were on the disastrous
road trip which resulted in three de-
feats.
Since that time the Owls have made
determined and successful efforts to
stay in the Southwest Conference title
race by taking Baylor and Texas into
camp.
S. M. U. has lost two games this
year, one to Texas by two points and
the other to Baylor, one of the weak-
est teams in the loop. "Whitley" Bac-
cus was missing from the Baylor game,
and Baccus is the mainstay of the
Pony team.
Baccus, who is one of the cleverest
forwards in the conference, is the
sparkplug of the team. Fast as light-
ning. Baccus is probably the most
dangerous offensive weapon of the S.
M. U. quintet. Starting at the other
forward post is Wilhite, one of the
scoring leaders of the conference. Lov-
ern and Spain have both seen service
at the center post, and Lovern will
probably be given the call against the
Owls tomorrow night. At the guards
the Pontes will have Briggs and Zaeh-
nry or Carter.
The Owls will place on the court
the same quintet that have played
most of the season at the starting
posts. This lineup will place Captain
Harry Jourrfeay and Jack Steele at
the forward posts, Kelly at center, and
"Tightwad" Lodge and R. T. Eaton,
Rice's All-Southwestern guard, at the
back positions.
This game is due to be one of the
most thrilling games of the season. S.
M. U. has a fast, speedy team, led by
Baccus, using the fast break on the
offense and'a tight man for man de-
fense, the same style of play as that
followed by the Owls, The Rice team
is also fast and with two such teams
pitted against each other the game
should be most interesting for ob-
servers.
The Owls may spring a surprise on
the Mustangs with several men that
they have not before seen in action.
Aaron Stanford, who has been one of
the highest point getters for the Rice
"B" team, got into the Texas game in
the last half last Saturday and showed
unmistakable class. Stanford is one
of the most adept men on the team at
eluding his guard with a pivot and
dribble and getting under the basket
for a crip shot. Another member of
the Argonauts, Willis Orr, may also
be the high scorer of the game. Orr
is a hustler and tough to beat under
the offensive basket at tipping in
shots. "Spot" Owen will also see serv-
ice in the game. He showed up well
in the Texas game.
The probable starting lineups are
as follows:
Rice S. M. U.
Journeay, f Baccus, f.
Steele, f. Wilhite, f.
Kelly, c. Lovern, c.
Lodge, g.
Eaton, g.
ference sport and also to the group
which enjoys
baseball. The main argument advanced
against the sport is that of finances.
Although we are not in a position to
judge this argument with positive ref-
erence to facts and figures, we are
reasonably sure that the athletic fund
is in the best condition at the present
that it has ever been in. Another fact
that we feel sure of is that in past
years football has been the costliest
sport of all the activities of the school.
Until the past four years, if our in-
formation is correct, the Rice football
team had a disgusting habit of finish-
ing in the "red" but money was al-
ways found to support the fail, past-
time. We feel that a baseball team
could support itself under the correct
management,
the attack of roaring lions upon the
cabin of a grounded plane—these are
among the film's exciting episodes.

Track Meet To
Be Tomorrow
Varsity to Meet Freshman
Team at Three O'clock,
Weather Permitting
Tomorrow afternoon at about three
"'clock Bice Owl followers will get
their first chance to view the 11)35
track team in action as the freshmen
and varsity track stars go against
each other. Coach Emmett Brunson
stated that the meet would not be
hold, however, if the weather remain-
ed bad, and the track remained in a
soggy condition.
The freshmen will be at a distinct conference next year.
Freshmen-Varsity Track Meet
The opening track meet of Coach
Emmett Brunson's 1935 track team
will be a meet between the Rice fresh-
men and the varsity track team. The
freshmen will be at a decided .disad-
vantage for the whole schedule of
events, and particularly the field
events, because of lack of numbers,
but none needs to waste any sym-
pathy on the Slimes in the sprints and
the relays. In those events the fresh-
men are practically cinches with four
men capable of running the hundred !
yard dash in less than ten seconds.
Caldwell, Cogdell, Carr, and Neece
are the four freshmen in question who
are able to burn up the cinder path.
They should monopolize the sprints
and the relay ovbrits, Already this
year Carr has turned the shorter dash
in 9.8 seconds, while Caldwell had
done the same distance in ten seconds
flat. Cogdell and Neece are also
ready to repeat something on the same
order. Those our freshmen may top- ;
pie the conference record in the 440- ,
yard sprint relay. This record was j
made by Rico three years ago when
Ed Holloway, John Coffee, Dick Jam-
crson, and Tom Driscoli were all run-
ning for Rice.
Another freshman who is duo to go
places is Jack Batterson, a hurdler
who is expected to be one of the
finest ever sbeu in the Southwest if
he lives' up to the promise he has al-
ready shown. Brunson thinks Pat-
terson may leave everybody in the
MAJESTIC
Mr. and, Mrs. Martin Johnson in the
past have covered Africa by boat, on
foot and in motor trucks. This time,
in the hope of injecting * new note
in a wild animal film, they have- flown
the length and breadth of the vast
continent by plane.
"Baboona," their picture, which
opens Friday at the Majestic, is said
to out-distance anything the Johnsons
have yet brought back from unex-
plored and savage lands, not only for
Briggs, g. j authenticity and graphic detail but for
Zachary, g.! sheer suspense and excitement.
[ Subtitfing their feature "An Aerial
| Epic Over Africa," they have created
it from the labors of two years—dur-
ing which time they traveled some 60,-
000 miles by air above jungle and
plane, above unknown waters and
mysterious mountains. According to
those who have witnessed "Baboona"
in preview showings, It furnishes one
of the world's most extraordinary rec-
ords of the conquest of the unconquer-
able.

disadvantage because of their lack of
numbers, but they should run away
with the sprints and the sprint re-
lays. With four dash men capable of
clipping olT the hundred in ten sec-
onds and better in the persons of
"Chuck" Caldwell, Bert Carr, Frank
Cogdell, and Johnny Neece, the fresh-
men hold a distinct edge over the var-
sity in these short races.
The varsity has an overbearing ad-
vantage in the field events with "Bull*
Johnson and big Jess Petty leading
the weight men. Johnson and Petty
will each throw the discus and the
shot. Petty is the conference record
holder in the former, and Johnson, co-
captain of the team, is one of the best
in the conference in the latter event.
In the 440-yard dash "Smokey"

David Weichert and Kit Reid will
take care of the pole vault for the
varsity. Their vaulting should be of
interest to Rice fans thinking of the
conference meet, for both are capable
of jumping better than twelve feet.
Weichert has gotten twelve feet and
nine inches repeatedly and may do
better than that before the year is
out.
In the hurdles some stiff competi-
tion is due between the freshmen and
varsity stars, but the varsity has the
advantage of .numbers. The varsity
team will be represented by Bill Wal-
lace and "Bucket" Oliver. Jack Pat-
terson will offer the competition for
the freshmen, Patterson, according to
Brunson and other experts, has pos-
sibilities of becoming the finest hurdler
ever seen In this section. He has
turned in one run of 15.5 senconds
over the high hurdles. Wallace is one
of the fastest low hurdlers ever to
enter Rice. He won second place in
the national interscholastic track meet
at Chicago while in high school in
the low hurdles.
Rice ps. S. M. V.
Tomorrow night the Owls will take I
on the S. M. U. Ponies in what should ,
be one of the fastest and most furious i
games seen in the auditorium in a j
long time. This "Whitey" Baccus is \
one of the finest players in the con- !
ference in our opinion. Last year the
speedy Baccus and "Doc" Metzler. who
is the fastest man on the Owl squad,
really put on a show. Metzler was
assigned to cover the Pony ace, and
they really made that floor look like
a cinder track. That may happen
again tomorrow night,
The Owls must win tomorrow to
keep what small chance they may
have now to win the conference
crown. If they accomplish that, we
believe the Owls will not lose any '
more games this year. If they lose j
well, we won't even talk of that. We1

that we are not infallible (there was
some doubt about that heretofore).
Aaron Stanford looked good last
night and with "Spot" Owen supplied
much of the drive that whipped Gray
Uni—that is Texas University. As
before this year, the Argonauts came
through again. Willis Orr was- the
first of this great little band to re-
ceive fame. Those Argonauts can give
the Rice first strong a battle day in
and day out. in fact that is exactly
what they do. In scrimmages at the
field house they often whip the ears
of the first stringers.
Baseball at Rice
Baseball at Rice this spring seems
to be a dead issue-as far as can be
determined. Jimmy Kitta stated that
no plans had been -made for the
equipment or coaching of the team,
and as far as he knows there will not
be a baseball team at Rice this year.
This seems to us to be unfair to a
number of students in Rice, both to
