Take alolm laun poi hula hu!a and a

the dance illustrating the story. With a
few words of Hawaiian you can follow
the story pret'.y we1! by watching the
dancers very closely.
Football followed Bill even to the
luan, which is a sort of Hawaiian picnic,
because the main dish was roast pig
(with the skin removed, we suppose) a
ia Hawaii. The pig is prepared by stuf-
fing it with an en'icing concoction of
| fruits, vegetables, and glowng coals,
and then buiynu it. By the time the
; picnickers arrive in the afternoon 'the
! pig is thoroughly roasted.
Bill1 said it was ft pretty, )-ood dish
| at that, and he wasn't; just saying it out
of politeness, either, because he didn't

1 As to football, there were two games,
j one on January 11, and one on the 17 h,
: played against a team of all-stars, som"
iii m the University of Hawaii, and
some from other amateur teams on the
island. The Americans won -both.games.,
! 2f,i,-7 and 17-0. but Bill said the play was
always',' exciting.'- The Hawaiian players
: W-erfe; .short, bt'oild: ahd. heavy, but' fast.
; They use plenty of lateral passes, but
: anything was liable to happen.
The fans—there were 10,000 at the
iirs: game and 9,00(1 at the second— fccai
Ut striking resemblance to Americans
at a wrestling match, according to Bill.
They cheer a player when he makes a
long run and boo him when he tail1
to gain. Bill should know about the firs
part of that because it was he who

Coaches Lou Hertenberger and Cecil
Griggs, in charge of spring training for
the Rice football team in the absence
of Coach Jimmy Kitts, who is coaching
basketball, prescribed work on funda-
mentals as the diet for around forty
husky players.
The Owls at the present are minus
the services of five sophomores who
figure vitally in the plans for 1936. They
are Johnny Neece, "Chuck" Caldwell,
and "Sonny" CogdcU, sprinters on the
track'team and backfield men on the
football team, and Mike Seaie and Clif-
ford Klindworth, basketball players and
ends on the football team.
Weakened materially at several posts
by the graduation of such stars as Bill
Wallace, John McCautey and either out-
standing men, Hertenberger has started
the rebuilding of a machine to with-
stand the rigors of the 1936 schedule.
The lettermen of the 1935 team will be
I reinforced by one of the finest groups of
i freshmen in history,

Owls Lose To
Texas In Last
Minute Thriller
The Rice Owls, fresh from a hard-
earned victory over Baylor last Thurs-
day, met defeat at the hands of a high-
flying quintet from the University of
Texas, 37-83. The game pushed Texas
into a tie with Arkansas for the South-
west Conference lead while it practi-
cally eliminated the Owls from the race.
Led by tall Jack Collins, the Steers,
minus the services of Jack Tayor, star
and captain, fought to keep in the game
and were behind with two minutes to
play. Baxter, star forward, sank a brace
of goals and iced the game.
Outstanding for the Owls were Willi*
Orr, "Tightwad" Lodge and Captain R.
T. Eaton. They fought gamely and kept
the Owls in the lead for meist of the
game^but even their hard work could
not stop the Steers who proved that
their bid for conference honors is not
an accident.
