The Southwestern University Pica tea will take to the Grid-
iron at 8:18 p.m. Saturday, aa they meet The Rice Institute
Owls, to place Coach Jess Neeley's T machine under fire for the
second time this season.
Coach Medley's Pirates have had their mettle tested twice this
season, and the Georgetown team was found wanting both times,
bowing to Baylor and Oklahoma City University on successive
Saturdays. However, the Swashbucklers put on a favorable
show against the stout Baylor
tine, while injuries in the South-
western line-up allowed the
3ooner eleven to pile up 5 3
points. All outside indications
point to a' stronger foe than
statistics show.
In the Pirates starting line will
be at least one face familiar around
the Institute. Big Dap Davenport,
who now captains the Pirates, ap-

long ago. The shift from center to
tackle has made tremendous Im-
provement in his ability, and cou-
pled with additional experience
should make him a factor not to be
counted out in figuring Saturday
night's contest.
Featured in the Southwestern
bnckfield is RuthBtrom, shifty left
half. The Owls will have to watch
him if their goal line is to remain
uncrossed.
"We certainly don't want to un
derestlmate a team that beat us
last year just because of a 53 to 0
score," Coach Naely said as the
OwIb started a week of practice on
"blocking, running, tackling and
passing." With consideration being
given to scouts' reports of the Pi
rates' strong points.
Coach Neely made no mention
of possible changes in the Owl
lineup.

smoothing out of kinks, exposed in

urday.

Intramural Council
An Intramural Athletic Council
is being re-organised through 41m
desire of the Department of Phy-
sical Education at Rice to have a
more extensive and student-govern-
ed program of intramural athletics.
It is to be composed of two mem-
bers from each men's organisation.
The Council is a self-governing
body operating under the super-
vision of the Department of Health
und Physical Education. Member-
ship on the Council also is accorded
representatives from those teams
competing in intramural athletics
which are not sponsored by an or-
Kar (ration.
The Council endeavors to realize
the following objectives: to provide
f. program of sports for those male
students of Rice who desire to par-
ticipate in competitive sports, but
who are unable to try-out for var-
sity or freshman athletic teams;
to develop a spirit of unity in the
Rico Student body through un in-
teresting program of competitive
sports; and to tncourage a spirit
of cooperation between the various
campus organizations through dem-
ocratic representations, on the coun-
cil.
Full Sports Offered
Due to weather conditions, Octo-
ber 9 will be the closing date for
the fall intramural activities of-
fered. The following intramural ac-
tivities will be offered: Tennis
Singles, Touch FooJball, Table Ten
nis Singles m:d Doubles. All en-
tries must be made at the Field
House with Mi. McDougle. A fifty
certs deposit fee must accompany
each entry. This deposit will be re-
funded at the conclusion of the
sport if the student has fulfilled
his obligations.

L S. U. WINS BATTLE
OF THE SWAMP, 7-6,
IN SEASON OPENER
Owl Score on Sustained Drive, But Bill
Bagwell's Boot Goes Wide; Eikenerg's
Last Minute Pass Attempts Unsuccessful
Rice Institute's Owls' initial bid for 1946 gridiron honors
went astray last Saturday night as the Louisiana State Univer-
sity Tigers eked out a 7-6 win at Rice Stadium. Heavy rains all
during the week and a downpour just before game time com-
bined with the lack of a cover for the field converted t heplay-
ing surface into a near swamp
which hampered the offense of
both clubs.
The first quarter ended scoreless
with Rice being unable to get their
offense moving. The Bengals ad-
vanced to the Owl 36 yard line once
but a bad pass from center and n,
15-yard holding penalty on the next
two plays killed that drive.
The second quarter opened with
Kico still bottled up in their own
backyard when Huey Keetiey was
downed on the five after tuking a
punt from Collin^. Buddy Rubs'
kick-out was returned to the 37 und
LSU threatened again, but the Owls
stiffened their defense and took
over on downs on their 20. Runs of
18 and 10 yards by Red Anderson
sandwiched around a five-yard pick-
up by Keeney moved the ball to the
Tiger 30 late in the half, but the
drive fizzled out; Rice was forced
to punt, and the half ended 0-0.
Neither team could get rolling
in the opening minutes of the sec-
ond half—both were punting and
hoping for a break. However, mid-
way in the third period LSU started
a march which nearly carried all
the way to glory dirt. From their
own 30 they went to Rice's 5, where
on fourth down and needing two
yards for a first down Sandlfer was ful.
thrown for a three-yard loss on a
nice play by Eikenberg. NOTICE
Rusb punted out nicely but the' The Campanile Business Manager
Owls were right back in the hole, would like several students to as-
yuri! offside penalty. When the next
lilay resulted in a two-yard loss
Rice fans began to breathe easier,
but on the next play Landry took
a short pass from Tittle and slid
across for the touchdown. Heard, a.
sub-tackle, booted what later prov-
ed to be the deciding extra point
und LSU led 7-0.
The Owls took the kickot'f and
went for their touchdown without
losing the ball. Hoerster returned
19 to the Rice 36. Windell Williams
made a nice catch of an Eikenberg
pass which had been deflected by
un LSU halfback, putting the ball
on the Tiger 35. An unnecessary
roughness penalty gave Rice a first
down on the 20. Here George
Walmsley provided the scoring
spark, going over guard for eight
yards and then racing end for a
first down on the nine.
After a line play failed to gain,
Eikenberg hit Walmsley with a
pass in the left flat for the touch-
down with four minutes remaining
in the game. Bill Bagwell's at-
tempted conversion was partially
blocked and tho Owls trailed 7-6:
and that's the way it ended, with
Eikenberg's last-minute passing
tries being rushed und unsueoess-
-0-
after Collins' punt and a 15-yard
holding penalty set them back to
the five. Russ was rushed and hiss
punt was returned by Tittle from
the 25 to the 14. Two running plays
and a pass netted a first down on
the Rice two. Coates went over on
the second play but the play was
called back and LSU given a five
sist in soliciting ads for the year-
book. Students are preferred who
have had some experience in secur-
ing ads or in contacting the'pub-
•lic, or those students who would
like some business training. Those
interested will please meet in A.B.
201 Friday at 12:00 for a brief
meeting.
