Four veterans ft om ihe team "which
resumed baseball competition in the
Southwest Conference under the
Houston shool banner last year are
back this year to aid the Owls in the
coriferci'ice race. The holdovers are
Mike Scale, who seems to be the
mainstay of the pitching: staff, being
aided only by a pair of sophomores;
Henry : Ilurley, center iieldo; Lee
Tynes, first sacker, and Red Vickers,
who is slated to fill the second ha-e
slot.
I.ast year's Owl contiuuem found
itself in fifth place at the close of the
conference .race in mid-Ma>, having
finished ahead1-of the S VI,IJ. Mus-
tangs, who had also just luswnicd
baseball competition in Ihe Confer-
ence. Whether this iear's entry will
do any better lhau the last remains
to be seen, and. Owl followers should
be able to get a good line on the,
class of the Owls, by attending the
'opener' this afternoon, since the Ags
are being ballyhooed as the team to
beat for first place this year.

The Rice Owl hockey team grabbed
another victory last Tuesday night when
they took the Polar Bears into camp for
the second time this year by the score
of 4-2.
The win placed the Owls in a tie. with
the Black Hawks for the city champion-
ship, and made it necessary for the two
teams to meet in a play-off series which
will probably be held next week. ;'. i '
The Rice five showed a nice offense
in the playing of Ross MrK.ce and Billy
Eckliardt. Frank Gooch and Malconib
McCains did a good job at defense. One
of the surprises was the improved play-
ing of Lee Blocker who accounted fori
a; tally in the second period.:"'Leon' An-
derson was the best Polar Bear player
on the ice,
The Owls scored early in the game
when Ross McKee broke through the
Polar Bears' defense in the first.1.live
minutes of play to chalk up a goal. Lee
Blocker made the next goal for the Owls
in tile sCcond period; Anderson tallied
for the Bears to itiake the score 2-1.
Kenuaj, Bear forward, tied the score
early in the third, but the threat was
short as Eiikhardt. and McKee caine in
for two fast goals, to cinch the game
for the Owls. Penalties were drawn by
Gooch and Anderson.

HOWL NO. 2
Oh yes, we did have some sports
news this week. We toddled down
to the Polar Wave Ice Palace and
watched along with six other Rice
students, the hockey game between
Rice and the league leading Black
Hawks. It's truly shameful that the
hockey team lias so little support
from its constituents, It's wdrth the
time just to see Monroe Ivy get in
the way of his opponents, and to see
Lee Blocker; throw Spanish epithets
at the evasive pack..YCi^'-V'''v'':-',.':,1,'"':;'':'!
- No, not freshmen, but the fly cast-
ing instructions given by Andy An-
derson to Ihe Rice Anglers. Mr. An-
derson started this foolishness last
year aiicl seems to liave got caught
on the hook: again. His ablest pupils
arc Harris Shelton, Jake Schuele,
Don I lager, Ernie Lain, Jack Heard,
Big Ike Green, Classic and Robb.
It's all right if you cast for it.

lins have been doing right well also,
Alfred Folsom and Ed Letcher will
be the addenda for tlie trip to the
conference meet. We just thought
we'll mention it
NICKNAMES
I got Harris Shelton, "Pat"
son, and "Swede" Anderson in the cor-
ner the other day and started quizzing
them about some of the handles hung
on the P. E.'s by some of their play-
mates. I compiled a list of them and
thought that I would pass them on to
you readers; that if, those that I can
put in print.
Let's start out with "Fred Astaire"
Sheuhle. You can ask Jake where he
got that one. "Spark Plug" Vickers,
"Elf Eared" Carr. "Fog Horn" DeWitt,
"Doc" Campbell and "Little Doc" Hy-
man, "Charles Atlas" Hager, "Mouse"
Coffee. Coffee is afraid of rats, too.
Then there's "Moose Head" Landry,
"Hay Head" Walcott, "Goggles" Frankie
and "Little Goggles" Joe Frankie and
"Ghandy" Stcakley. You can guess
where that came from. Here's some
more; "llarpo" Stcen, "Dimples" Heard,
and it seems that we still have a "tight-
wad" in "Little Tightwad" Guernsey,
tennis star who we expect to see a
great deal of this year. *
