Summer
By Mildred McCall
This year the grandstand quarter-
back has a doubly difficult task
ahead of him. In the first place, it is
by no means certain that any brand
of football, much less the usual va-
riety, will be played this fall. Also,
certain colleges are opening much
earlier than is customary—among
them our own institution of higher
learning. Now July is no month to
get out the form sheets and decide
whether old Rah-Rah is going to
walk over State or the other way
around. Even the weather, however,
is not the greatest obstacle in the
way of long-range prognostication.
The major difficulty will be find-
ing out whether Rah-Rah's team has
been moved to State and if so where
State's mighty juggernaut has been
transferred in consequence. Oh, for
the good old days when the only
things to worry about were the star
halfback's exam grades and the right
tackle's trick knee!

Having spoken to our head coach
we are now certain of only one thing:
the navy department will surely co-
operate aa far as possible in giving
Rice material for its teams. Although
as yet nothing definite is known con-
cerning the attitude of the navy
about athletics, the indications are
that football especially will be of
enough value in training men to
think quickly, in team work, and in
physical co-ordination to warrant the
continuation of that sport at Rice.
This column, continuing the noble
(?) policy of last year, desires to
state that, first,—even if Rice Insti-
tute cannot put more than eleven
4F's on the football field this fall,
those eleven will receive our full and
emphatic support. We will probably
go so far as to predict a victory for
them each week. Secondly, we are
certain that Capitol U cannot pos-
sibly d& any better, what with the
navy on board there also. And ev-
eryone knows how much to expect
from the' sharecroppers at College
Station. Taking into consideration
army, navy, and marine corps shifts
in program and material we are
quite sure that TCU, SMU, and Ar-
kansas will probably not find a
•wealth of personnel. We may safely
state, therefore, that our support of
Rice Institute athletic teams this
year will hav^e ample justification.

July 27 marks the opening of the
Houston Little Theatre in its sum-
mer season. The first of a series of
four plays, to be presented on the
air-conditioned mezzanine floor of
the Texas State Hotel, will be "Per-
sonal Appearance."
This is a racy comedy by Law-
rence Riley, and its presentation will
be in intimate style with the audi-
ence seated on four sides of the
stage. "Personal Appearance" was
hailed on Broadway with Gladys
playing the part of the movie actress
who tries to take the young garage
mechanic away from his sweetheart.
The play then toured the country
for many months. It was used as a
comeback vehicle for Gloria Swan-
son in the numei-ous "barn" theaters
in the East.
The Houston presentation is being-
directed by Hamilton Phillips, who
studied at the Moscow Art theater
and later acted professionally in
New York. Each play will run a
week, and every other week a new
show will be presented. The box of-
fice will be open on the 26th of July
in the Texas State Hotel.
