Over lukme Wave
by the fine of Ike Eikenberg the Owls rolled to
a 28-6 victory over Tulane'i Green Wave in New Orleans last
Saturday before some 46.000 fans, including a good-sized con-
tingent from the Institute. Rice got off to another slow start,
but after they warmed to the task were clearly the superior
team, holding the ball around
three-fourths of the game.
The first quarter wu unevent-
ful except for one TuUtne threat
which Buddy Rues broke up by In-
tercepting t pas* on hie own 82.
At the qurter ended Rice had the
ball on its nine yard line u a re-
mit of a 68 yard quick kick by Tu-
lane. Huey Keeney got them out of
the hole three plays later when he
booted the ball from the Rice goal
line out of the Tulane end aone. Af-
ter an exchange of punts Tulane
covered a fumble on the next kick
on Rice's 43 and went all the way
to the 10 before Rice dug in and
held them. A fourth down field
goal attempt failed, and the Owls
took over on their 20. However, the
offense failed and Keeney got off
a 76 yard boot that barely got into
the end sons before rolling dead.
The return punt carried only to
Rice's 46 and the Owls were off for
a touchdown with slightly less than
two minutes left in the half. After
a couple of incomplete tosses, Eik-
enburg hit Bill Taylor, who was
run out of bounds on the Tulane 86.
Two more passes failed; Eikenberg
was overshooting his receivers be-
cause of the strong wind directly
behind the Owls. On the next play
Tulane was penalized to the 18 for
unnecessary roughness, and Harold
Stockbridge kept it at first down by
snaring an Eikenberg paBS on the
8 yard line. Another Elkenberg-
Stockbridge pass resulted in a two
yard loss. Then with three seconds
remaining in the first half Big Ike
connected with Keeney who stum-
bled over the last stripe just in-
side the flag. The attempted con-
version failed and Rice led 6-0 at
the half.
Rice's second scoring drive was
touched off by a 46 yard pass from
Eikenberg t o Wendell Williams
which carried to Tulane's 1? yard
stripe. Red Anderson made 7 at left
end. Anderson broke through guard
to score on the next play, but the
Owl backfield was in motion and it
was called back. Buddy Russ went
all the way to the 3 on an end run
before being forced out of bounds
and carried to the one on the next
attempt. On a quarterback sneak,
Eikenberg scored. Ballard's kick
was blocked, and it was 12-0, Rice.
On the third play after the kickoff
Price went around his own right
end for a Tulane score. The kick
was blocked by Ted Scruggs and
Rice led 12-6. The Owls took the
kickoff and marched 70 yards for
a touchdown without losing posses-
sion of the ball. Russ' running and
a couple of Eikenberg - Williams
passes (one for 36 yards) featured
the drive, "which Keeney climaxed
by cutting over tackle for the last
four yards. Ballard's kick was good
and the tally was 19-8.
The final touchdown came on an
86 yard drive following a punt into
the end zone and an off-side penal-
ty. Buddy Russ carried the ball on

.The Riee Institute "BM Team, the
Blue Bolts, sewed a 88-0 victory
over the Dallas Naval Air Station,
here Thursday night.
The fighting defensive play of
the Rice eleven, led by and Jack
Chambliss broke through the Navy
line twice in the' early minutes of
the Kecond quarter to push the Dal-
las team deep into their own terri-
tory and then worried the Flyers'
kicker into a weak punt to give
the Owlets possession on the Navy
26.
Barron Ellis, who netted the "A"
team yardage in the Southwestern
game, powered his way to the first
score. Walter Coffer added the ex-
tra point.
Calling on the air strength that
gave them 11 completions for their
16 tries the Blue Bolts' Truett
Peachey clicked with three passes
to Jack Wolcott and the Junior Owl
tally climbed to 13 and on to 14 as
Ellis booted the addition.
As the second period closed, ano-
ther pair of passes by Joe Newbili
took the R club to the Navy 12,
where a Newbili to Floyd Somner
aerial tallied six more, totaling 20
for the first half.
The Somner spark exploded the
opening of the second half with a 46
yard run to score again for the
Blue Bolts.
Later in the quarter Coach Dutch
Baumgarten'8 eleven took over on
the Navy 37 and drove to another
score, the actual plunge for the
points being made by Walter Cof-
fer.
The final Rice tally came as the
Newbfll-Tusa combine passed across
the goal, late in the third period.
Playing time was divided among
the entire list of Blue Bolt players.
The inspired Owl Juniors showed
their defensive prowess by holding
the Dallas Buzz Boys to a minus 29
yards rushing, in spite of tricky
formations employed by the Navy.
The Bolts rest this week before
facing the Texas University Short-
horns week after next.

six consecutive plays to midfield,
where Anderson took ever to move
the ball to the 30. At this point
Eikenberg tossed to Nick Lanza in
the end zone to run the score to 25-
6.
The entire Rice line had a good
day both offensively and defensive-
ly. Particularly in the second half
the Owl backs found big holes wait-
ing for them when they got to the
line of scrimmage, and it was Hum-
ble, Malmberg, Nichols and others
in the forward wall that made it
possible. Eikenberg had the best
protection on his passes that we've
seen in quite a while. All in all it
was a good weekend for Rice, and
the Owls looked ready for confer-
ence play, which starts next week.

OWLS FACE MUSTANGS
HERE SATURDAY NIGHT, '
KICK-OFF JMEJ:15
FIRST CONFERENCE BATTLE
OF SEASON FOR BOTH SQUADS
PROMISES PASSING DUEL
With early season intersectional warm-ups completed, this
week the Owls head into competition where the chips are down.
The Southwest Conference grid wars are notoriously unpredic-
table, and there will not' be a breather on the schedule from this
point on, including one more non-conference game with Tech.
At 8:15 Saturday night Coach
Matty Bell will send his SMU mus-
tangs against their firat league foe.
He states that he will field the
the same starters who went against
Oklahoma A&M last week, and who
are all in good shape with the ex-
ception of Lindon Davis.
The Ponie's Frank Payne, the
passer who sparked last week's vic-
tory, is expected to provide most of
the fireworks when his team has
control of the pigskin. His brilliant
passing is u prime factor in the
Mustang offense, keeping the de-
fense on the alert and preventing a
complete concentration on stopping
what is u very good running game.
On the field at the opening kick-
off will be:
RICE SMU
Williams ... LE Wilson
Armstrong , LT Hamburger
Nichols LG Wright
Weatherly . C Sutphin
Humble RG Cook
Malmberg RT Kotlarich
Scruggs RE Halliday
Eikenberg QB Payne
Keeney HIJ .... McKissock
Anderson HB Page
Russ FB . Ramsay
Last year's game in Dallas ended
SMU 21-Rice 18, and theOwls will
be out for revenge and a satisfac-
tory step up the conference ladder.
Coming out of the battle with
an unnecessarily rough Tulane elev-
en with many bruises but no serious
injuries, the Owls will be ready to
go. Little George Walmsley, who
spent lost Saurday on the bench
'hunting n bruised shoulder, should
break into the lineup this time. The
threat of Walmsley and fellow
backs Keeney, Anderson, Russ, and
Stockbridge, will keep the Mustang
defense from remaining spread out
in order to protect its goal line
completely from the bullet like pas-
sing accuracy of big "Ike" Eiken-
berg, Ike received near perfection
lust week from the powerful Rice
line, made up for the most part of
men who played in '42 before going
into the ,-eivice. Most (1' the tima
he had all the opportunity neces-
sary to pick out chief receivers
Scruggs, Keeney, Taylor, and Will-
iams.
The Rice band, which provided
much of the between halves color
at the Tulane game, will give the
fans 11 era a show also—weather
permitting.
