Let's throw * few bouquets out
to all of our 46 nun who pteyed s
bang up ball' game Saturday night
by whipping Southwestern 48-0.
At laitl Neely has found the ex-
tra point kicker of the year — — —
little Van Ballard, the Eleetra
freshman flash, who booted S out
of 6 Saturday night. Keep that toe
in shape Van!
The highly touted Harmon Cars-
well will not be with Rice until next
year. A recent interview with Coach
Neely revealed that Garswell, the
sensational back from Lufkin, will
not be discharged from the Army in

time to don the togs for this sea-
The flock's first team didn't play
as much as the substitutes Satur-
day night. The "top guys" built
up a nice margin led by George
Walmsley with his beautiful 00
yard punt return and then turned
the game over, to the subs who ran
the score up considerably more.
The Army was breathing down
the Tri-City Flash's neck the oth-
er day, but George was turned down
by the Army for having a bad knee.
Stay with us, "Gorgeous!"
Neely has been hunting for his
backfield combination and he cer-
tainly found a nice one Saturday
night. I believe a few more combi-
nations should be found if that
aoore indicates anything toward
the new backfield.
One worry that most teams have,
the Owls will not have and that is
of punting. Between Keeney and
Buss there just isn't much differ-
ence. In the LSU game Russ aver-
aged 38 yards, and against South-
western, Keeney, who did most of
punting averaged 40 yards. Kee-
ney's 64 yard wallop topped the
night in the punting game.
* Let's support the "Blue Bolts'
(the "B" team) Thursday night
when they meet the Corpus Christi
Naval Air Station at Rice field. Be
there!
At left is Gaston Bourgeois, from
Lutcher, La., a letterman for the
past two seasons, is adding to his
list of gridiron laurels in this, his
final season. As a freshman he won
All-Southeastern Honor^ at the age
of 10. As a sophomore he won con-
ference mention and was given hon-
orable mention on several Ail-
American teams. He has been a
regular every one of his three sea-
sons and during that time played
a greater part of each game. He
combines speed and endurance with
determination, and is an excellent
running mate for the former Naval
Academy star, Ed Deramee.

At right is Marvin "Marvel" Mc-
Cain, 1044 and 1945 letterwinner,
is in for his best season with the
Green Wave. As a freshman he was
among the conference's best backs,
but was slowed down last year by
injuries. A former fullback, Mc-
C.-.in is now holding down the right
halfback position in Coach Frnka's
backfield, has speed galore, and
kicks passes and plunges with the
best of them.

to New Orleans "ttrts week-end to
meet their first real test of the
1946 grid campaign. Handicapped
by a swampy field against LSU,
'the Owls did not have the oppor-
tunity to show their full strength.
Last week the Southwestern Pirates
hardly caused the Flock lo extend
themselves. This week's game
should give the "grid-master" a

The alert, hustling Rice Institute
"B" team drove ahead in the last
half to hand the Texas A&M "B"
team a 13-6 defeat at College Sta-
tion last Friday.
The Owlets trailing 6-0 at the
half, scored in the third period aftep
Jack Price, center, recovered an
Aggie fumble on the Farmer's
yard line. Floyd Sommer and Jess
Barker shared the carrying honors
that netted the Rice team a first
down on the ten. Then a Joe NeW'
bill, Sommer, Barker double reverse
put Barker across the double stripe
to tie the score. Rice failed to add
the extra point to the score.
The Sharecroppers lost the ball
after a forty yard drive following
the kick off. Two drives by the
Owlets ended on the 11 and 25 suc-
cessively, then taking over on their
own 87 Coach Dutch Baumgarten's
Institute eleven pushed on to the
A&M 86 where Truett Peachy, sub-
stitute end punted out on the Aggie
three. Peachy's accurate toe had
netted the Owlets 15 yards as Earl
Beesley's return kick gave Rice the
ball on the Farmers' 21.
A run and a penalty backed the
Riee team to the A&M 24.
Bplninger took the ball, handed
off to Frank Shirocky, who faked
an end run, faded and passed to
immers, who tucked the ball in
and angled away from the safety
and crossed the goal standing up,
ering Rice's second touchdown.
The extra point was added to give
the final score 18-.6>with three min-
utes left to play.
Rice was driving toward a third
score as the final gun stopped the
Owlets on the Marching Society's
14.
The Aggie points were made
early in the second quarter when
Beesley drove across from the Rice
six. The Farmer tally came after
an 80 yard drive that began after
the Institute' eleven had a threat
halted on the Aggie six, after
Blanchard's attempted field goal
missed fire.
The heavier A&M line, more ex-
perienced, was able to keep the
Owlets from scoring the first half,
but found their inertia too great
to follow the shifty ball handling
Houston club, the second half.
Coach Baumgarten said in com-
menting on the game "The entire
team played fine ball."
The Rice "B" squad will tangle
with the Naval Air Station from
Corpus here, Thursday.

GETS IN PLAYING TIME
Rice fans had plenty of opportunities to yell here last week-
end as the Owls rolled over Southwestern'# Pirates from George-
town to the tune of 48-0. After a rather listless performance in
the first half, which saw them take a 14-0 lead, the home team
turned on the steam for three scopes in the first nine minutes
after the intermission; and from then on the Pirates, who had
been hopeful of pulling a
repeat on last year's upset, were
ready for that final gun.
George Walmsley led scorers with
two touchdowns, while Buddy Russ,
Dick Hoerster, Don Anderson, Bill
Taylor, and Oather Pugh each
crossed into paydirt once. Van Bal-
lard checked in with five out of six
conversion attempts and Charlie
Easter added another.
Walmsley started things off early
in the first quarter when he gath-
ered in a punt on his own ten, and
after faking about six assorted
Pirates out of their shoes, went all
the way down the sidelines. Bal-
lard converted and it was 7-0. Rice
threatened again soon afterwards
when Nick Lanza made a leaping
catch of an Eikenberg pass and fell
on the seven, but Southwestern took
over on downs.
With Rote, Ballard, Buckley and
Hoerster in the backfield, the Owls
went 35 yards for their second
touchdown early in the second quar-
ter. Three line plunges by Hoers-
ter reached the 520. On a quick open-
er Buckley got away but the last
man tripped Buck on the two, from
where Hoerster rammed over on
second down. Ballard's kick was
good again, and the scoreboard read
14-0.
Three pretty runs by Harold
Stockbridge paced a march to the
Southwestern 21, but a fumble end-
ed the threat. The half ended soon
afterwards.
Rice took the kickoff and from
their 35 wont for a score in nine
plays. Buddy Russ, who had been
used only as a punter in the first
half led the attack, carrying on six
;>f the tries. The last was for eight
yards and six points. Ballard made
it three in a row and it was 21-0.
Southwestern fumbled on the sec-
ond play after the kickoff and Tay-
lor covered on the 15. Walmsley
-wept end for seven'and cut over
Hie right side of the line for a
score on the next play. Ballard
missed, leaving it 27-0, The team
was hot and came right back to
score on four plays after a Pirate
runt. A couple of fourteen yard
passes by Eikenberg to Lanza and
Taylor put the ball on the South-!
western 25. After another pass
failed to click Red Anderson pow-
ered through the line, rode nicely
a desperate attempt to block him
out about the two, and squeezed
inside the little red flag to run the
tally up further. Ballard's trusty
right foot made it 34-0.
Southwestern made its only
threat of the night early in lhi;,
fourth when they reached the nine
yard mark mainly on the strength
of an intercepted pass and u couple
of tosses of their own. However,
Rico held und Huey Keeney's 05
yard kick moved them out of dan-
ger. The boys from Georgetown
were trying to score with passes
but Bobby Lantrip hauled one in
and carried back 20 yards to South-
western's 27.
Charlie Easter took over, pass-
ing to Bill Taylor for 1(5, running
for three, and then hitting Taylor
in the end zone for the sixth touch-
down. Ballard again converted.
Rice's final score came on a 7!
yard march which featured u 20
yard pass from Easter to Spider
Hudgens and the running of Oathei
Pugh and Barron Ellis, Pugh mak-
ing the score. This time Easter
converted and the scoring was over
for the evening at -18-0, Rice.
