Spring Training Notes
One they're all glad to See staging
a comeback: Mitcli Sadler. If the
trick knee holds out. he'll start next
season. Sadler's partner Billy Heard
is being watched carefully to prevent
a recurrence of the same injury. Bar-
ron Ellis can run faster in a football
uniform than in a track suit. He
tightens up on the cinders, runs with
his head back. A fine center prospect
who'll 1)0 excellent on defense, Billy
Blackburn. The former Austin star

that is one of those subjects you get
more by intuition than by instruction.
One of the conference's better passers
for 1941 should be Dick Dwelle. He
was overshooting his receivers by
less than a foot Saturday in tremen-
dous heaves reminiscent of the Frank
MeriweJI ho got off to Ellis in the
SMU game last December. Ted Bran-
non looks like a sophomore starter.
The Owl end crop is as numerous and
talented as any in the conference,
with added help coming in from
Scruggs, Humble. Brumley sot for
another groat year if the draft doesn't
ge,t him, and that still seems unlikely.

Houston skaters Sunday night at 7:30
p.m., facing the Cougars at the Polur
Wave Ice Palace. McGowen at Hut-
chins. The team scoring the greatest
aggregate score In the two-game se-
ries takes the championship, and the
Owls need therefore a five-point mar-
gin in the final encounter.
Ross McKee, offensive star who
counted all five goals against the
Cougars last Sunday, will lead the
Owls in an assault on the Cougar
goal, which is guarded by Danny
Mulvey; former Saint Thomas star
who made twenty-five saves in the
opening playoff game. Captain Louie
Girard, out part of last Sunday with
a slight concussion suffered when he
was clouted above the right eye,
will also be back to team with Kjor-
laug, McKee, Smith, and Plitt, the
Owl goalie. Girard expressed confi-
dence Thursday that the Rice hockey
combination could roll up a five-goal
advantage and salvage the title. The
Cougars were whipped by that mar-
gin in an earlier encounter with the
Owls.

Four New Tournaments

After u very successful basketball season that saw the All-
Stars and Rally Gluh go down \he stretch neck and neck, intra- j
murals gears up still further with four tournaments now in prog-j

new institution, a mixed doubles table tennis tournament which
promises to -break'up many it hitherto happy twosome before its
completion. Across the bayou at the field house first-round match-

j expei iencod chiinker we have and
rigjit now there is a strong possibili-
!ty, that we will have to open up with
•an inexperienced man doing most of
our buekstopping.
We should have a great, fielding
ball club with letterman at every
place in the infield and outfield. Hus-
tle and strong defensive play may
] move us up in the top bracket."
| Golden will handle most of the
j pitching chores but will get some
help/from Leslie Carlson and Clay-
ton Harvlll, squadmen who saw a
little service last spring. Sophomore
chunkers hold the key to the Bruin
pitching worry and if Russell can
pullout with a couple of starting
pitchers from Van Sweet, Lcnvis Self,
Bob Miller, Gene Welch and Ben Lu-
cas, the Bears might be one of the
contending tennis in the loop.
Infield All Set
The infield is all set with Don
Haley, first baseman; Odis Richard-
son, the second sacker; Jimmy Witt,
All-Conference shortstop, and Joe
Terry, two-year Veteran at third base
back for another year. Jack Willis
and Jack Casey will supply the re-
serve strength,
Three , veterans, Jack Lummus,
Dolly Harris and Lindsay Radney;
are expected to fill the outfield posts
with good help coming from Cotton
Burnet, Lee Wilson and Mark Belew.
