H OWLS, 50 TO 45 ANB # TO 35
The Arkansas Razorbacks went back home with two more
wins after defeating the Owls 50 to 45 Thursday and Friday n|ghts
at the City Auditorium. This series of games finished up both
teams schedules, with Arkansas winning nine out of twelve and
Rice coming out even with six won and six lost.
Arkansas' too-tall cagers made it
two straight over the Owls Thursday
night as they outlasted Buster Brari-
non's five 40-H5 in the final confer-
ence engagement of the season. Cars-
well paced the Rice squad us usual
as he garnered thirteen points in a
scoring duel with Johnny Adams and
the flame-haired Hiekey, Raaorback
spearheads.
The first half was nip and tuck as
both teams put on a real struggle
for the lead, climaxed by Mickey's
heated arguments with Jack Sisco
and Dusty Hoggeas, officials for the
night. The mountaineer hothead was
finally handed u technical foul to the
delight. of the rooting sector.
Arkansas Leads fi-1
Arkansas was away to a 0-1 lead
beloie the l)wis slipped into gear.
Both squads wort* missing: the basket,
right, and left as the Razorbacks put,
otj .a little steam to forge ahead .18-1«
at half time. After a slight pause to
make sure it was actually time' for
'he !l intermission;t the Institute ebb
The Owls dropped the first of a
two-game series to the towering Raz-
orbacks 60-45 Wednesday Wight in
City Auditorium as John Adams,
leading conference scorer, boosted his
total with twenty points at the ex-
pense of the Owl defense.
The Owls were away to an early
lead and went ahead again at 10-12
after the Hogs had tied it up at 12
all. Two minutes later the Flock
held their advantage at 17-13 as the
timer indicated half-time. After a
conference, however, officials an-
nounced that a fifteen minute half
had been played by mistake and or-
dered five 'more minutes of play.
The Razorbacks took advantage of
the added time and caged thirteen
pbltits in | burst of offensive power
that gave them a 20-24 advantage
after twenty minutes of play.
Hogs Take Lead
Adams and the giant Freiberger
handed the Arkansans an eleven
point lead soon after the start of the
second half, but Carswell and his
running mate countered with a fast
downcouit attack that put the Owls

OF the finest basketball races
in conference history draws to
a close this week-end, and win or
lose, Buster Brannon put out a real
basketball team in his first attempt.
The Owls, doped to finish at the end
of the rope, were right in the thick
of things and were almost in at the
kill.
A few points, another rully in any
of three crucial games, and Rice
would have been a lot farther up the
heap. But Brannon wants and needs
no alibi. His cagers just ran up
against a little too much power. The
great thing 'is that January, 1940,
will see practically the same crew-
take the floor with the advantage
that competitive experience gives.

this week that the Oklahoma
Aggies: of Stillwater, Oklahoma, will
he the party of the third part when
Rice entertains Texas A. and M. here
April X in a triangular meet to open
the local track season. The Oklahoma
Aggies, titleholders in the Missouri
Valley conference, have t>vo headlin-
ers in Forest Efaw and Wright.
Wright was contacted to . funrish
competition for Fred Wolcott in the
hurdle, specialties.
Efaw is a distance runner of note
and is also a steeplechaser, one of
those rare specimens who hurry over
untold obstacles and gullies to the*
finish line. . ; M :
Steeplechasing remains a diversion
of the Yanks, one of whom cracked
wise while the Oklahoma star was
steeplechasing away in the East some
weeks ago, As Efaw- ploughed
through hell and high water some,
hundred yards behind the pacesetters,
the Yatik arose and announced with
deliberation, "Efaw,. efaw down."
WOLCOTT IS
DEFEATED IN
INDOOR MEET
Drawn into a record-breaking field
in his first appearance on the indoor
boards, ..Fred WolroU finished third
last Saturday' night in the national
meet at Mad won Square Garden as
Allan Tolniich of Wayne University
hung up a new*1!'record of.8,4 in the
ti5-meter , hurdle cvenL.
Running over a five hurdle course,
Wolcjiitt broke slow and was unable
to overcome the early advantage of
Tolmich and Staley, Southern Cali-
fornia standout. Rice's national out-
door titleholder was a yard ibehind
fighting it out with Staley as Tolmich
broke the, tape for a new world ree-
ord. . ' : ' y";'1 '
Although he was not timed, meet
officials expressed the opinion that
Wolcott equalled the1 old mark of 8,5
in taking third place. ' ,
Coach Eniniett Bri.ihson's, hurdling
sensation had been under the tutelage
pf Carl. Merner of Columbia. Univer-
sity for four days in an attempt to
become accustomed to the difference
between cinders and cypress wood.

The Rice.Ovylu invaded Austin last
Saturday only, to meet defeat at the
handu of the University of Texa#
Longhorns. The las* completely
ped the hope* for e tie for the
title and cinched the Lonmhorn#' hold
on the said seat.
Rice took .an early load and held
on most of the way, keeping the out-
come doubtful until the last few mln-
utos. "'
Ulce Scores First Tally
', i ' • ': ii • • ' : 1 , '
Steakley scored the first point of
the game on a free throw ufter be-
ing fouled by Spears. Craddock came
buck with a. long shot that put the
Owls out in front, 3 to 0.
Spears, Longhorn guard, retaliated
with a one-handed shot for the
Steers' first two points, A series of
shots by Craddock and Carswell
forged the Owls forward to the tunc
of 11. to 4 anil threatened to upset the
highly-favored Steers. The Longhorns
came hack with a volley of shots from
all sides and tied the score at 11 all.
Owls In Shape
The feathered boys were in the
peak of condition and put forth their
greatest' effort to stay in the run-
ning ' for the top-bracket honors.
Carswell, Gomez, and Steakley did
some fancy maneuvering to push the
Owls once more in the lead, but the
Steers ctime" back with a bombard-
ment of shots hy Moers ami Gninvllle
to offset advantage. The half ended
«t 22 all.
The Owls again scored first in the
second half to take the lead for the
last time. The varied offense of Tuxas
gave Rice trouble iii trying to de-
termine \vhat was to follow next. Rice
kept in. the running largely through
the goaling of Craddock, who reached
his peak of the year with a total of
15 points.
Longhorns On Spree
The Longnorns went op a scoring
spree that started their winning siege
and set the pace of 45 to 37. Rice
found it impossible to solve the Steer
defense, and most of the Owls' shots
were made with the Steers on top af
them. |
Gomes', and Carswell pulled the
Rice score to 41, but a one-handed
side throw by Hull and a, crip shot by
Tate added ..another four, points to the
Texas side of'the question. Hull made
the final point on a free throw. The
game ended 50 to 41.

FRIDAY. MARCH fc 1*38.
Cecil Grlgg, gray-haired guide of
Rice's baseball destinies, took a sur-
veying look out of the field house
window Friday afternoon, saw a driz-
zling rain, and gloomily decreed there
would be no practice. Bad weather
hud stopped the Owl tossers flat, just
its it put a damper on their activities
last Wednesday, their first day out.
Thursday wus the only day that
gave the Owls anything like favor-
able practice conditions, and Grlgg
lost no time in getting the boys under
way. A long batting practice was
held, with Gilbert Heidler, Howard
Hiegel, und Hurry Arthur serving
•em up from the mound. J. P. Wood
put in an early bid lor regular duty
this season by pounding out several
long hits.
Seventeen pluyers were In uniform
for the session, and ten or so more
are expected to report as soon as
spi'ing football atttivitie* cease. The
Owls will move over their regular
diamond within a week, and Urlgg
announced that all of Rice's home
games will be played on the campus
instead of at Buffalo Stadium.
Before the conference season opens
on March 20, the Owls will play ex-
hibition games with the Houston
Buffs, and several of the city's com-
mercial teams, including Grand Prize
and Hughes Tool.
