For the first time in nine years the
Aggie Cadet Corps will accompany
their football team to Houston. With
all to be gained and nothing to lose,
the Aggies will "shoot the works"
against the Owls. They would like
nothing better than to knock the Owls
from their high perch. It would iriake
a perfect season in the eyes of the
Cadets. While they realize that they
are the underdogs, they won't concede
that Rice con teat A, & M. two years
in succession, a feat which hasn't been
done since 1915-1916.
The Aggies figure that they are a
lot. better than last year since after
seven games this year they have scored
30 points more than they had scored
in seven games last year. Their op-
position has only scored 74 points
against 94 for last year. The only
weak point in their logic is that they
have only won warmtip tilts it his year
against five major losses Even if they
do luSf tc the Owls, the Aggies ore
determined that the game won't, be a
run-away ,as was last year's.

Before a homecoming day crowd
expected to reach 15,000, the Rioe Owls
at 2:30 this afternoon battle the Texas
Aggies, the latter supported by around
2500 cadets from Aggieland. Kitts
varsity will be out to better the rec-
ord of the Rice Slimes who Monday
beat the Aggie Fish, 12-0.
The Owls are ruled heavy favorites
to defeat the Farmers who have yet
to mark up their first conference vic-
tory for the season. Coach Homer
Norton's charges, however, have been
showing considerable improvement
over their early season play. Also to
be considered is the fact that the A.
and M. team had an off day last Sat-
urday when their game scheduled
with S. M. U. was postponed to per-
mit the Mustangs to play U. C. L. A.
in California Monday. The Aggies
have thus had two weeks to prime
their offense and defense against the
hard running Owls.
For the first time in several weeks
the Owls will be ready to put their
full force On the field. "Primo" Miller

Although S. M. U. will be a bit tired
It seems as though the Slimes' last
game of each year is destined to be
played in cold, wet weather. Both last
year's game and this were played un-
der such conditions. Eddie's Slimes
want to play just one more game this
year despite the Conference ruling of
only three games. They would Ike to
battle the S. M. U. Freshmen "just for
fun."
The Conference Champion
It seems to be the set opinion of
most people that Rice hail little or no
chance to repeat as the Southwest Con-
1 ference champion. While the Owls are
at a distinct disadvantage from their
loss to S, M. U., they are by no means
I out of the running. S. M. U. has yet

would put S. M. IT. out of the picture,

ny Neece, and Roy Royall have also
played outstanding football. This
talented cordon of backs will prevent
the Aggies from concentrating on any
one of the Owls.
In the line the Owls have also ap-
peared powerful. The Rice forwards
have been getting the jump on their
opponents consistently in their last
three games, and have opened" large
holes in enemy lines for thfe backfield.
Beside the regular starting line which
includes Sylvester, Williams, or Forbes
at ends; Mays, Frankie, or Miller at
tackles: Bale and Brandon, guards;
Nichols, center, the Rice line has re-
ceived excellent support from reserve
linemen. Bob Biering, tackle, Charley
Moore, fiery sophomore guard, Bill

Field House
Straight Game
For the fifteenth consecutive game
the Rice Slimes last Saturday at Rice
Field emerged victorious, soundly
whipping the Texas Aggie Fish, 12-0,
and asserting their supremacy over
the freshman teams of the Southwest
Conference. The Slimes have not lost
a game in the last five years,
The Fish Invaded Houston, touted
as the greatest first year team in the
conference, but the fine work of Dick
Todd, undoubtedly an outstanding
performer, Howell, tough end, and
other A. and M. players, was of no
avail, due mainly to the flashing heels
of little Doug Sullivan, 150 pounds
of the fastest and most elusive foot-
ball machinery.
In the third quarter Sullivan found
a hole over the A. and M. left tackle,
and cut through for a touchdown by
means of a splendid piece of broken
field running. The Slime blockers put
Sullivan through the line, and once
into the secondary he turned in the
finest individual run of the game. The
second score was made in the last
quarter when "Red" Belton, Slime
tackle, fell on a blocked punt of the
Aggies behind their goal line. Only
about two minutes to play was left
when the last score was made.
Fats Rhinelander, heavy center, tore
a ligament in his left knee shortly
after the game started, and was carried
from the field. Herman Price replaced
Rhinelander. These two centers are
due to strengthen the Owls consider-
ably next year in the center of the
line.
In the backfield Paul Hancock and
Chester Hayes showed a great deal of
power. Hayes also punted well in
spite of the heavy wet ball. The field
was very muddy and the backs had
difficulty staying on their feet.
The fighting Rice line was practi-
cally invincible to the Aggie Fish in-
side their own territory. Hines Steak-
ley, and Lawrence, the three ends,
constantly turned the great Todd in-
j side the end, refusing to be circled.
; As the ends turned him in, Couger
[ and Belton, the tackles, and Landry
and Rogers, guards, stopped hint re-
: peatedly. Price and Hancock backed
i up the line stoutly.
The Slimes, under the direction of
! Jack Russell, also a fine back, appeared
| to be working much more smoothly
; than in either of their previous games
this season, This is especially so of
their offensive work.
The Freshmen now lay claim to the
championship among the conference
freshmen team. They hold victories
this season over Lamar Junior College,
the strong Texas University Tech, and
the Aggies, who claimed the strongest
team in the Southwest.

Wild As Owls
Whip Arkansas
Coach Fred Thomson's Arkansas
Razorbacks Saturday felt the might
that is the Rice Owls, and went
down in defeat, 20-7, as the Owls,
blocking well, swept to three touch-
downs, two coming in the second quar-
ter and one in the last.
Bill Wallace proved Saturday that
lie is still an All-American halfback.
Running with much power and speed,
Bill carried the ball 15 times, gain-
ing 116 yards for the remarkable av-
erage of 7.1 yards per try. Wallace
made several long gains when he
seemed to have little or no chance to
pass the Arkansas tacklers. He scored
yards off tackle.
McCauley also was outstanding, gain-
ing 105 yards for an average of 5.8
yards per try. Outstanding with these
two backfield stars was "Leehe" Syl-
vester, the most consistent end in the
conference. Sylvester made the first
two extra points. The third was1
blocked.
After a scoreless first quarter, the
Owla drew first blood after a 50 yard
drive down the field. Buck Friedman
made the score, going over standing
up from the one yard line. The play
was a reverse spinner.
Arkansas started a drive down the
field after the fourth period opened.
With the second string backfield in
with the exception of Wallace, the
Porkers started clicking on a series of
short passes over the Tine. Mixed
with just enough running plays to
keep the Rice backfield from drawing
out too far, the Hogs carried to the
Rice 24 yard line. Here Robbins, sen-
sational sophomore passer, who can
really call his shots, laid one in the
arms of Keen, who got behind Roy
Royall, for 24 yards and the lone
touchdown.
Arkansas kicked off. Vickers ran
the kickoff back to the Rice 30 yard
line. Straight power plays carried the
ball to the Arkansas 46 yard line. At
this point Wallace went wide for 21
yards. Bill appeared to be stopped
several times and was staggering off
balance for the last six or seven yards
before he finally fell. When he fell
he was absolutely ih the clear, Vickers
picked up eight yards, carrying the
ball to the 25 yard line.
McCauley came In for Vickers and
on the first play plunged through the
line for a first down on the 21 yard
line. On the next play he plowed
through the Arkansas line, reversed
his field, and crossed the goal line
standing up.
The game was practically over, but
Wallace had one more burst of speed
to thrill the crowd. With the ball on
the 48 yard line, he cut around the
left end, shook off tackier after tackier,
showing amazing power, and ran to the
15 yard line before he was nailed. The
game ended on the next play with the
ball on the Arkansas 12 yard line.
