Tonight the Rloe Owls, making their
second Eastern appearance, play the
University of Duquesne at Pittsburgh.
Losers in their game Wednesday night
against Long Island University at New
York, the Owls have somewhat easier
opponents tonight.
Rushing to an early lead the L. I. U.
quintet, although conceding plenty of
height to the Owls, seemed able to
score at) will. In the first half they
had an advantage of 27-6, the Owls
scoring two field goals just before half
time to pull up to 27-10.
The Owls seemed unable to fathom
the fast passing and blocking plays of
their opponents and failed to serious-
ly threaten the L. I. U. team as it won
its thirty-first consecutive game.
Around 12,000 spectators crowded
Madissn Square Garden to watch the
Texas team, advertised as one of the
tallest teams in the nation, go down
to defeat before the Long Island five.
In the second half the Owls seemed
to forget some of their stage fright as
Mike Seale and Jack Steele started
the only scoring spree of the night for
the visitors. At the end of-this scor-
ing spree Rice had clmbed to within
eight points of the metropolitan team,
the closest they had been since the
early stages of the game. The score
at this time was 37-129. L. I. U. again
took charge of the contest at this point,

Most of you know where that is. Has a
swell lady friend here in Houston, name
of Marie Roy. Maybe you know her.
Wish I did. His middle name Is Garbo?
Nice looking guy, tall and kinda thin.
Known as R. G.
J. Fowler—Member A. S. M. E., Engi-

time—but then he is an engineer Me-
chanical. Drives? an old (very, vfcrjr
old) model T with no water in it, the
one you see around with nothing on it
but rust. Smokes an old pipe, but the
fellows like him in spite of it. He is one
of those fellows who will do all the
work and does riot care if no one knows
it. He should be a leading factor in this
year's show.
