Squad To Arrive In Norman Today At 12:35; Will Work
Out On Sooners' Field This Afternoon; Lain
Lost To Rice Squad.
Forty husky Rice Owl football players and coaches Jimmy Kitts
and Lou Hertenberger boarded a Southern Pacific train last night
at ten o'clock for Norman, Oklahoma, where tomorrow they meet
the Oklahoma Sooners in their first game of the season.
Yell leaders, the band, and a crowd of students cheered the team
as they boarded the train. The train did not pull out until 11:30
p. m., but the players were scheduled
to roll into bed shortly after ten.
The forty players who will take on
the Sooners tomorrow are Herman
Price, Sam Flowers, Howell Husbands,
mid Kenneth Whitlow, centers; Bill
Haner, Ross McBrayer, Henry Stern,
Matt Landry, Captain Charlie Moore,
and Frank Hairston, guards; Bull Stan"
zel, Andy Nobles, J. R. Green, Arthur
Hughes, Jess Hines, Doc Crawford, and
Ed Singletary, tackles; Ernie Laurence,
Jim Nance, E. Y. Steakley, Don Hatter,
Clifford Klindworth, Walter Williams.
Frank Steen, and Harold Palmer, ends;
Jimmy Rogers, Paul Hancock, Cleo
Creamer, and Jack Vestal, quarter-
backs; Dan Coffee, Bill Brandon, Tom
Vickers, Scat Sullivan. Johnny Neece,
Bob Brandon, OUie Cordill, halfbacks;
and Bryce Parker, Jake Schuehle,
Floyd Mechler, and Earl Glassie, full-
backs.
The Owls suffered a blow Wednes-
day afternoon in practice when Ernie
Lain, hard driving back, and one of the
best passers on the. ^am, received a
severe cleat wound in the back of his
right leg. Three stitches had to be tak-
en in the wound and it is uncertain
how soon Lain will be able to resume
action, but doctors predicted that it
would be at least two weeks before he
would be able to play on the injured
leg.
The injury leaves Red Vickers, Scat
Sullivan, and Bill Brandon to take care
of the left halfback post. Brandon has
had a sore ankle, but will be able to
play tomorrow if he is needed.
Other Injuries will keep members of
the squad from seeing action. Dock
Erannon, promising 190 pound end
from Longview, will be prevented from
playing by a severe knee injury. The
Owls are amply supplied, however, at
the end post.

SHINE WHILE RICE AT
* * * * *
U. OF 0. SHINES TOO
October 2 has slid around, and
Florsheim shoes, as prophesied, will
slide around Autry House floor Sat-
urday afternon from 2 to 6 o'clock.
Special attractions specialize in an
amplifying system to broacast the
Rice-O. U. game under the trees
breezing around Autry House, under
the eaves on the veranda, and includ-
ing also under the House, tables,
dancer's feet, etc.
Red Nickel and his Nickelodians will
nickelodian; new records are to bo
brought, and a complete new set of
records will replace the others at four
o'clock.
Florsheim Shoes will foot the bills
nd display their shoes in a special
showing of their new fall styles. All
Rice students are invited to attend and
dance their shoes away (so they can
buy new Florsheim's) and listen to the
fcetball game..
Nobody need have a dote to drop
in here. There will be plenty of guys
and gals to amuse every buddy (pun).
Mace and his charm will draw the
pals (he paid for that).
CHORAL CLUB HEADS
WELL PLEASED .JVJTH
LARGE ATTENDANCE
The Rice Choral Club held its first
meeting of the season at Autry House
Monday night. Rollo Rilling, dilector
of the Choral Club, and J. W. Hender-
son, sponsor, expressed themselves as
delighted over the large attendance of
55 members, and promised to give the
club more engagements than they
could fill.
Officers of the club are . Charles
Moser, president; Ruth Pilkenton,
vice-president; Frances Flanagan, sec-
retary; Jack Geldert, treasurer; and
Liston Tatum, pianist.

Monday night at 7:30 p. m. at Autry
House. Everyone interested in sing-
ing is cordially invited to attend.
FRESH FRESHIES
BLINK BLINKERS
AT BUGS MIKES
NOTICE: The sudden epidemic of
cross-eyes about the campus i.s not
contagious. Students may attend their
classes in perfect safety.
The plague* is confined to Biology
100 students who, fine: Wednos.i i\
have been looking left-eyed into mi-
croscopes with the right eye open.
Aside from causing head-on collisions
and mis-iue of the Four-Place TVo'e.y
the affliction has affected the morale
of the freshies
Quote Patsy "Hot-Top" Helton, of
the X-eyed league, "I'm a patient soul,
nnd ean even stand two Altenbur^s
gesticulating about the room. But when
I sec jour Wood twins all at once I
have to shutter my tired eye* and

Completion of the third and last
book in a series known as INORGAN-
IC COLLOID CHEMISTRY has been
announced by its author, Dean Harry
B. Weiser of the Rice Institute The
third volume, COLLOID SALTS, has
been sent out to the John Wiley and
Sons Publishing Co. and has not, as
yet, come off the press, according to
Dr. Weiser.
The two preceeding books in the
series, COLLOIDAL ELEMENTS
published in 1935, and HYDROUS
OXIDES AND HYDROXIDES, pub-
lished in 1935, with the present vol-
ume comprise the set on the colloidal
behavior of elements in their inor-
ganic compounds.
The preface of the book reveals the
fact that this volume is concerned with
the contributions which have been
made to the theories and applications
of the colloid sciences from observa-
tions on inorganic substances. The im-
portance of the salts in the study of
colloidal phenomena is evidenced by
the amount of that character of the
work that has been carried on with
this class of compounds during the
ptlst decade. So significant are the re-
sults of the investigations that a book
on this subject written by Dr. Weiser
and published 10 years ago had to be
completely revised and almost entire-
ly rewritten in preparation of the pres-
ent volume.
The firat' portion of each section is
concerned with a critical survey of the
conditions of formation and the gen-
eral character of the individual sails
in the colloidal state, and the second

"College students are reputedly so

reputedly so smartness of college stu-
dents, "but around here they will still
