Games as Spirng Drills End
The Rice Owls will play two full-fledged intrasquad foot-
ball games for the public on the next two weekends as part of
the current spring training session, it has been announced by
athletic director and head football coach, Jess Neely. The first
"Blue vs. Gray" game will be tomorrow night at 8 p.m. The
second game will be on Satur-
day afternoon, March 10, at 2 cious 70,000 seat new stadium on
the campus. Admission at both

of newcomers to the Owl varsity la
many years. There are some forty
top prospects up from the Rice
freshmen team making strong bids
for positions on the varsity in com-
petition with fifteen returning let-
termen and some fifteen squadmen.
The aditional game is carded to
provide an opportunity for a night
spring contest for the benefit of
those who cannot attend the annual
Saturday afternoon finale to the
spring drills, which this year comes
on March 10.
Since the Rice squad of this spring
is shorter on experience but heavier
on manpower than usual, there is a
wide open battle for most first
string positions. Performances to-
morrow night and the afternoon of
March 10 may have an important
bearing on starting roles for next
fall — with the fans having a chance
to sit in on the competition.

about that, particular volume of the
Thresher, which have been" clouded
in your mind. A great number of
1948-49 readers made strong ob-
jections to the tendency of the paper
to provide more coverage of national
elections, labor disputes and other
wide issues than of campus affairs.
Now the trend seems to have reach-
ed another extreme, and we have
receivd just as strong an objection
from you as was previously voiced
from the opposing camp.
We may assume, I am sure you
will agree, that it is impossible to
publish a campus newspaper which
will meet with approval from every
corner of the campus. Therefore, sir,
it remains our task to determine
whether or not you represent the
majority opinion. Until this time, we
have been informed by several
sources that we are pleasing more
readers than has been the case in
some previous years. Perhaps we
sire wrong, and you have obtained a
better idea of what the students
want than we. If this is the case, the
members of the Thresher staff will
he delighted to hear of their failings.
Therefore we suggest, Mr. Miller,
that your fellow members of the
opposition party organize a verbal
revolution, and we will do our best
to establish a satisfactory bi-parti-
san policy in regard to your news-
paper. The door of the Thresher
office has always been open to any-
one with a justifiable complaint.
Sincerely,
Ruey Bone, Editor
