DEBATE CLUB
The Rice Debate Club, notable if
not notorious for its meeting an-
nouncement posters, held its first
meeting Thursday, September 30, and
some startling stuff developed. To wit:
1. The Treasurer reported a gift of
$25.00 to the club by Mr. James Shep-
erd, club benefactor and promient at-
torney. This revelation so amazed the
group that all was silence for a full
minute until the speaker of the meet-
ing,
2. Mr. Thomas, sponsor of tho club,
drew some attention by saying that
he knew some swell stories concerning
the faculty, and proceeded to tell same
to the entertainment of tho members.
3. Nine (count 'em) new members:
Karl Johnson, F. Murphy, Boesche,
Clarence Anderson, Sharpe, Charles
McDonald, Chandler, Zumwaldt, and
Weisenberg, wore welcomed to the cir-
cle by Gavel-Pounder Blanton and be-
fore he could hit the table, with the
mallet,
4. A heated debate arose between
Zumwaldt and Weisenberg and Old-
ham and Mowery on the proposition
"Reaolved: That the United States
should send all persons over 65 years
of age to China to act as hatchet fod-
der. The debate became so hot that.
5. Jack Dodson, the engineer who,
according to the latest D. C, poster, is
a very poor orthographer, brought
forth a jug of potent liquid for which
the club is also notorious and,
6. The meeting ended with all join-
ing in singing "There's a Long Long
Trail."
The more persorving members of the
organization will meet again on Oc-
tober 28. All men students interested
, in speaking activities are invited to
attend. For further information, see

•Tiger touchdown.
Early in the third quarter, with the
Owls trailing 6 to 6. the line opened a
hole through center big enough for
Scat Sullivan to slit through and t;ace
23 yards to the L. S. U. 35. Two downs
later Steen received Sullivan's pass for
another first down 14 yards further
down the field.
A Tiger offside penalty made it first
and five to go on the 16-yard line.
Kitts threw in some of his ample re-
serves, and Vickers squeezed over, for
a first down after four tries. Seliuehlb
took the ball on a reverse through
tackle and got away for nearly ten
yards before he was pushed out on

Kavanaugh started down the field
with plenty of his teammates for pro-
tection and not tin Owl near him, and
didn't stop until he had crossed the
Rice gftal line and iced the game for
L. S. U.
First Tiger counter came early in
the second quarter, while Coach Bernie
Moore was playing his "second team."'
Young Bussey paved the way with a
pass to Stell good for 13 yards and
first down on the Rice 14. An off-side
penalty and two line plays advanced
the ball to the five. Anderson carried
it over in two plavs.
Busspy's passing more than fulfilled
the expectations of spectators as he
tossed twice to Stell for a total of 23
yards and once to Baur for *28 yards,
Throughout fhe game he threw the ball

The Owls were still fighting at the

and a 22 yard run by Vickers, worked
down to the Tiger 23 before losing
possession of the ball.
Conceded small chahce to beat the
powerful Tiger eleven, the Owls dis-

fensive game either, for the Rice line
proved a stonewall that was too much

•of the 950 eligible voters cast ballots
enabled him to 'secure the position
with the favorable votes of only a
little more than one-sixth of those

after the December preliminary ex-
aminations.
