Attend Convention
out two second-quarter touchdowns after a slug-
gish start, Coach Baumgarten's power loaded Bice Blue Bolts
added two more T.D's in the final period to paste Texas's out-
manned $horthorns, 27-0, in Memorial Stadium, Friday. Coach
Cherry's accentuation "iin big and strong linemen for future
Texas teams fell short of expectations, as the Blue Bolts blocked
and tackled with such viciousnes, that they moved the ball at
will, through the heavier Short-
horn line.
After « slow first quarter, Rice's
Durwood Lee recovered a fumbled
Ttexas kick. From this point the
Blue Bolts unleashed the stored up
power and steam that they contin-
ued to use through out the remain-
der of the game and immediately
reached pay dirt. Son Campbell
registered the first six pointB, with
Billy Wright. 220 pound end, split-
ting the up-rights for the first ex-
tra point. Score 7-0, Rice.
In the next offensive drive, we
find terrific blocking by Kwiatows-
ki, helping to set up a six pointer
pass from the arm of Vernon Glass
to Joe Newbill, only to be called
back as Rice was penalized five
yards, backfield in motion. After an
exchange of punts, the Blue Bolts,
lead by Charles Easter on the pitch-
ing end, and Guy Warrell the re-
ceiving, take the ball to the Short-
horn ten before losing it on downs.
Second Tally Made
Just before the half ended, again
Rice called on the accurate passing
of Easter and the sticky fingers of
Dick Westkemper and Guy Warrell,
to register the second tally of the
day. Wright's attempt for the ex-
tra point was wide. Half time score,
13-0.
With the opening of the second
half, Wyatt, Rice's scat back, greet-
ed the junior tea-sipperB with a 35
yd. run back of the kiekloff. The
Bolts caught fire and marched 55
yards to the Texas nine, where Tex-
as recovered a Rice fumble. The
. "Aggie-lovers" took this as their
only scoring threat of the day and
got their machine functioning
marching downfield to the-Rice sev-
en, before the stubborn at>d fight-.
ing* Bolts could subdue -them.
Smooth-Rolling Attack
Rice, taking over on its own sev-
- en, returned the compliment by or-
ganizing one of the smoothest-roll-
ing ground attacks seen all year, led
Jby Emanuel Braden and Don Camp-
bell, with Easter a t the helm,
marched some 80 yards, only to fall
short on the Texas ten. Texas im-
mediately kicked and Campbell, one
of the Blue Bolts' hardest runners,
brought the leather back some 80
yards before he laterelled off to
Easter, who added 20 more before
he was brought down on the Texas
twelve. From here, Joe Newhill
went over for six more, Wj^ht con-
verted. Score 20-0, Rice. •
After Wright's high and long
kick-off, Stonestreet intercepted a
Texas pass on the Texas twenty-
five. Prom this point, Wright; re-
sembling a fullback, took a sKort
pass from Proctor «nd bulled and
bowled over three Texas lads, step-
ping twenty-four yards for the
fourth T.D. Wright again split the
upwrights for his third extra point
out of four for the day.
Texas Intercepts Pass
On the return kick-off, Glenn
Wall, the hustling Rice tackle from
Dallas, caught Texas's Bauman be-
hind the goal before he finally pul-
led him down on the Texas one
yard marker. With this, Texas im-
mediately punted but got off a very
poor one, going out of bounds on the
Texas nineteen. Rice had a pass in-
terception to end this threat.
Texas took over and drove to the
Rice thirty before Campbell inter-
cepted a pass, and behind beautiful
downfield blocking that was quickly

formed by the ever ready Bolt line,
raced some sixty yards to the Tex-
as twenty. This last threat was of
no avail as Rice had a pass inter-
ception.
Braden was the offensive star of
the afternoon, time and again
breaking through the Shorthorn
forward wall for extra yardage. He
had a" respectable 5 yard average
picking up 60 yards in 12 tries.
Braden also handled the punting
for Rice with a 36.6 yard average.
The Shorthorns guards took a
terrific beating from the Bolts'
quick opening plays due to the vi-
cious blocking displayed by the
strong and ready Blue Bolt line,
whole the Shorthorn backs could
get nowhere because of the gang
tackling shown by the hustling Bolt
line.
Kwiatowski Stars
Kwiatkowski, guard, was probab-
ly the Bolts' outstanding lineman,
if any one could be singled out. But
the entire Blue Bolt line, bruised,
battered, and shattered the oppos-
ing hopefuls. Lee, Reiningar, Veret,
and Dokas at guards; Wilson, An-
derson at tackles; Moody, Worrell,
Wright, and Westkemper at ends;
Abbot, Clarke, Stonestreet and Re-
pass at.the pivot spot, all played
brilliant ball for the Bolts.
Wright High Scorer
High scorer for the Bolts was
Billy Wright, 220 pound end, scor-
ing one touchdown and Kicking
three extra points. Rice's other
touchdowns were ehalked up by
Campbell, Guy Worrell, and Joe
Newbill. Unofficially,. Newbill was
high scorer for the day as he cros-
sed the pay dirt three times during
the afternoon, only to have two of
them called back on penalties.
By Rice-Wonder If
Can Beat SMU Now
The THRltiiHER inquiring re-
porter nosed nis way into a group
of T. U. players after Saturday's
game.
Here are their comments:
TOM LANDRY, FB—An awful
good ball game, against an awful
good team!
JOEL WILLIAMS, C—How could
Rice lose to SMU, if they played
ball like that all season?
RANDALL CLAY, FB—Why does
Rice always have to play so damn
good against us?
FRANK GUESS, QB—How can a
ball change hands so many times
straight and still no yardage lost ?
DICK HARRIS, T—A good game
and glad to be one! One of the
cleanest games I have ever played.
BYRON GILTORY, LH—I guess in
a way we were lucky to get some
breaks.
All of the Texas players singled
out the play of Watson, Weatherly
and Magee in the line and thought
Keeney did some of the best kick-
ing they had ever seen! The one
question foremost in their mind
was: Do you think we can beat
SMU?

M.E.'s Efforts Give
Them "New" Tools
Come next year, the M. E.'s will
walk into shiny, new laboratories,
thanks to the extended efforts of
the M. E. department and this
year's senior engineers.
All of the apparatus which will
be transferred to the new labor-
atories in the Abercrombie lab will
have been completely overhauled.
The senior M. E.'s of this year are
devoting part of their laboratory
time to dismantling and overhauling
apparatus, and are even chipping
off the old paint to make room for
nice new coat of shiny gray paint,
the latest rage in fashion for M.E.
laboratories..
As soon as the new laboratories
are ready to be equipped, it is hop-
ed that the seniors can begin to
remove the lighter apparatus from
its present locations in the engi-
neering annex and machine shop to
its new quarters, leaving the entire
annex for expansion of the civil en-
gineering laboratories, and the pre-
sent machine shop to be devoted to
a new steam laboratory. It is hoped
by the department that the changes
can be effected before the end of
next semester.

Only Fate and Short Second
Quarter Keep Rice From Scoring
Bobby Layne finally managed to be on the winning side
in a Texas-Rice game, after three long years of Rice victories.
Morris Frank, genial sports editor of the Houston Post, finally
predicted the margin of victory in a Rice battle, after four
weeks of upsets.
It all adds up to the fact that
[the most people ever to see a
Southwest conference game,
48,400 (this figure includes
policemen; Boy Scouts and "sody"

to the paying customers, watched
Texas' giunt Longhorns subdue a

Harry Porter Weld, new Profes-
sor of Psychology at Rice, expressed
the view that Rice is a fina college
and has an excellent faculty.
In his short stay at Rice Doctor
Weld stated that he had been im-
pressed especially by two things.
First, he was highly complimentary
of the faculty; and, second, he had
been impressed by the fact that
some departments were stronger
than others. He was eager to point
out, however, that the quality of
men in the weaker departments was
also exceedingly high.
Reflective and calculating, but
pleasant, Doctor Weld believes that
although we are going through dif-
ficult times, the world is not
doomed to destruction and that we
will find some way to work out
of our troubles. The doctor is en-
thusiastic about Texas and believes
it to be an amazing state, although
the most striking fact about Hous-
ton is the recklessness of its drivers.
Doctor Weld was born in La
Grange, Arkansas in 1877, and by
1900 had received his Ph.B. from
Ohio State university. He continued
his studies at Shepardson college
and Clark university, and in 1911
he received his Ph.D. from Clark,
after having found time in 1904 to
marry Miss Martha G. Robinson.
After positions as professor of
music at Peabody College for
Teachers, and professor of Psy-
chology at Clark university, he ac-
cepted in 1912 a position with Cor-
nell university. Doctor Weld has
taught at Cornell since 1912 and in
1945 was made professor emeritus
of that organization.
Doctor Weld, classified in "Who's
Who" as a Republican and a Pres-
byterian, is a member of the Amer-
ican Psychological association, the
American Association of University
Professors nttd Sigma Alpha Epsi-
lon fraternity.
Doctor Weld is the author of sev-
eral books, notably "An Introduc-
tion to Psychology,"; which is the
textbook for Rice's Phychology 800
course.
