The excitement usually evi-
dent over the traditional Rice-
Texas football classic raged
' through Houston this w e e k
as the undefeated Long horns,
best Steer championship pros-
pect since the beginning of the
| Bible regime, prepared to stam-
jpede into town Friday,
Not since the T. C. U. Horned
Frogs journeyed to Houston in 1-98H
j with a legendary gridiron gian have
j ticket sales been sn heavy. Tickets
for the entire north stands were sent
I to Austin in September along with
I three, sections of the end zone, and
early last week officials there were
calling for more. The south side and
the >nd zone hail been sold out, and
only 150 seats in the temporary
bleachers remained at , five o'clock
| yesterday, afiernobn.

Pete Layden continued to push .lack

Not as flashy'a back hs Crain, Lay-

his steady running and passing- last
week gave Arkansas plenty to write
home about,
Another new flash to evolve from
the Arkansas gam owns Hal .1 ung-
mil'hel. A sophomore, guard more or
less oVMrlookbd this year, .lungmichel
broke through the big Arkansas lino
consistently last week to wreck all
planned plays, and Bible has placed
him on this week's starting line-lip.
Rice Line-up
Major change,* in the Rice set-up
lis the replacement of Doug Tipton by
Sophoinpre Verlan Pritchard, Wichita
Falls all-stated. Pritchard loves the
game, ahd his hard work is beginning
to pay off,
■It will he remembered it was he
who took Keel's pass behind the Tu-
lane secondary, and seemed bound
for a touchdown before being cor-
nered and tackled on the nine-yard
line.
As last year, every man on the
Rice s(|uad seems determined, and
confident of victory. Ask one of them
about the game, and his face be-
comes set, as he declares we'll take
'em.
But there's no shred of over-confi-
dence, and if spirit and determination
mean anything, it will probably be
another two years before Texas can
start talking about heating Rice in
Houston, something they have not
done since 19112.
■ to ten in with flashy little Jack Crain as the Steers gamble everything
i for h first Houston victory since 1H32. Layden is n real triule threater.

in
memory of her husband, and was
built in l!)2i. It was specified in the
fleed thai the ;building would be used
'py all Rico1 students, with no dis-
crimina'.inn as to creed, race, .or re"
ligion. The: Diocese of Texas of the
Protestant Rpiscopal Church maiti^

Kpiscopiil jstiidehts held their church j
serviees;1 and; meetings in the audi- j
tiiriunr fiovvnstairs.
"We used lo iiavie1: some very sweet j
services there," Mrs, Blake remark-
ed. "Vou sec, thftiStage is built like :
a church and we used to have all altar

fixed in rows jusit as they might be |'!

happeio:'(|: during her years as hos-
tess. She; admitted that she did get uj
little worried til tout the floor last j
year when a snow fight started in j
the building. "That is" a very expen-
sive floor. It, is glued down and I
was al l aid that the glue would hi'
ruined by the inedting' snow.. But I've
had children of my own and I knew
that the Rice boys weren't malicious-
ly doing 'any' damage—they just had
to play. Most people thought I was
a lot more, distressed than I really
was."
One more Rice tradition has passed
away, for Mrs. Blake's presence at.
Autry 'House had come to be a tra-
dition. She will always be remem-
bered for her kindness, her genuine
interest in the students, her cheer-
ful word and pleasant smile.

For a picture shrouded with mys-
tery and suspense, visit the Metro-
politan as Edward Ci. Robinson plays
another! unusual role, in "A Dispatch
from Reuters." It is the story of a
communication system with life or
death to a nation in the balance.
Why? How? The picture runs this
week.

Chesterfield has all the qualities that smokers
like best — that's why it's called the SMOKER'S
cigarette. Smoke after smoke and pack after
pack, they give you more pleasure.
Chesterfields are made of the RIGHT COMBINATION
of the world's best cigarette tobaccos.
