school days, Howard hurt his ankle
this year, but we hope he will he able
to show his warns (or Rice one of these
deys. Last, but not least, is Bait Sel-
man again, who, besides being a flashy
quarterback, runs the hundred in 9.9.
This year Frank Guernsey has
brought one of his Floridan brethren to
Rice. His name is Dick Morris of Win-
ter Park, Florida, Frank says he pos-
sesses a nice stroke which should de-
velop with a little more time. For proof
Frank offers the Florida State Public
Parks Doubles Championship which
he and Morris now share. We're look-
ing for big things from Dick.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1937
In the fall cometh Haloween, pump-
kins, and t> new crop of slimes. Among
these slimes, the athlutos are especial-
ly interesting to us because on their
shoulders will soon be put the task ol
carrying Rice's colors to greater heights
of glory. This year we find a likely-
looking collection of future football,
basketball, track, and tennis greats and
near-greats sauntering from Field
House 10 Sallyport with worried looks
and shaved heads. For the private in-
formation of THRESHER readers, we
have collected a bit of pertinent data,
Let's first have a look at some of the
footballers. In the backfield we have
four promising youngsters with a
varied assortment of talents. Glen
Henicle, who hails from Waynesboro,
Pennsylvania! and is affectionately
known as "Yankee", is a big bulky
blonde a mere 215 pounds and tower-
inp six feet, two inches. He plays in the
fullback position, aiid we understand
he displays his skill when blocking,
passing, or carrying the ball. One of
these days we'll hear more of him.
At the halfback positions we have
Francis Mattingly of Ingle,tide and
Hugh Stevens of Cleburne, Mattingly
is a fine blocking half who comes to
Rice from the academy at Corpus
Christ!. He weighs 195 and stands five
tret, eleven. Stevens is a gopd' paSsei',
kicker, and ball carrier, and will un-
doubtedly have opportunity to display
his skill next Tuesday. |
Burt Selman, who hails from Hous- ;
ton, is ft quarterback who is a good
lesser and kicker. Ho is five feet, ten j
and one-half inches and weighs 185. ]
Among linemen we have four boys j

weighs IBS pounds, and has been
characterized as « "little charger."
Staley is just live feet, eleven and also
185. He is a running guard and un-
usually last as guards run.
Buck Sloan of Breckenridge is een-
tei who should some day hold down
the pivot position with ease. He passes
the ball well, and is a good blocker.
He is, however one of the lightest of
the slimes, weighing a bare 178. Hie
stands six feet, one inch. He played in
the North and South game of Texas
All Stars last year.
Emmett Brunson goes around these
days lpking mighty happy over the
bunch of embryo tracksters he has
rounded up this season. There are some
good reasons for his satisfaction, we
might add. Among them might be men-
tioned Jim Woodburn of Beaumont.
Jim is pole vaulter who has vaulted
twelve feet, six inches, and also a high
juniper who floats over the bar at six
feet. Besides these talents, he tosses
the javelin quite neatly.
Then there is Joe Blagg, a little fel-
low from Brownswood. bakes up for
his; lack of height with the feat of
having won second pjace at the Texas
State High School Meet at Austin last
season in both the 100 yard and 220
yard dashes. He ran the hundred in
S.8 and the 220 in 21.6. Bay Moaer, a
brother of the mighty Williard, runs
the hundred in 9.9 and has shown
promise in the quarter mile.
Bob Fowler is a hurdler and quarter
miler who placed third in the state
meet. He was a member of the Wood-
tow Wilson (Pallas) team that walked
off with the meet. Charlie Matthews
hails from Beagan where he led the
Heights boys to victory in the mile and
half mile runs. Kemper Kaiser of Jeff
Davis and Billy Turney of Beagan are
promising quarter milers and Turney
is also quite a sprinter.
Earl Wylie of Henderson, Texas was
second in the state meet in the quarter
mile, running it in fifty seconds flat,
He also does a little broad jumping and
hurdling. John At^hur Scot of Dallas
is another boy who combines the at-
tributes of running both at the dashes
and the quarter mile with ease. How-
ard Thurston from way up In Maine
where they slur their r's is an engin-
eer, but they tell us that he high
jumped six feet, three inches in high
