FRIDAY, APRIL 4.1952
THE THRESHER
Seven
Mi Get Pfckei h 6im At
Austin List Tuesday
By NORRIS KEELER andl TOM WHARTON
For a moment, it looked as if the Rice Owls were to break
a 20 year jinx Tuesday in Clark field in Austin. The Owls
jumped off to a /our run lead in the first inning only to see
tile Longhorns bounce back to gather two in the second and
three in the fourth, when they chased starting pitcher Joe
Wylie. Texas picked up its final
tally in the seventh off Walter
Deakin.
Rice collected only six hits off
Luther Scarborough. Although none
of the Owls could get to Scarbor-
ough for more than one hit, Parke
Davis and Bill Golibart drove in two
runs apiece.
The Owls can be seen in action
here at Rice field Saturday after-
noon when they take on the defend-
ing conference champion Texas Ag-
gies. Deakin is expected to toe the
Slab for the Owls and his opposing
moundsman will probably be right-
hander Melvin Work. Game time is 3
1PM.

Freshnai Tein Loses First
Goiferette Game To Texas
By J. FRED DUCKETT
Held to two runs by Shorthorn
pitcher Bob Linker, the Rice Owlets
dropped their first conference base-
ball game 6-2, last Tuesday after-
noon on the Rice diamond.
The Owlets were unable to score
until Texas had a strong 6-0 lead.
Linker held the frosh to nine hits
during the entire game, and all but
two of these were slow infield bleed-
er hits.
Dick Floyd held Texas to nine
hits and all their runs during his
seven innings on the mound. Sid
Jones pitched two perfect innings in
relief in the 8th and 9th.
Texas began their scoring in the
top of the 1st inning as third base-
man Bud Stevenson banged a sin-
gle to left, then Jungman got life
on a Rice error with Stevenson go-
ing to third. Casey Wise followed
with a Ion gdrive to center scoring
the run. Texas scored again in the
second on Keller's double and a two
base error; and in the sixth on
Wise's hit, Lloyd's groundout, an
error and Watson's one-run single.
That was enough runs to win, but
Texas picked up three more in the
seventh as eight men came to bat.
Miller, who had struck out twice
before, walked; the pitcher, Linker,
singled, Killer going to second. Then
Stevenson grounded to the pitcher,
with the runners advancing. Jung-
man followed with a two-run sin-
gle. This made the score 6-0 in fa-
vor of Texas.
Rice began scoring in the bottom
ft the 7th. After Lavon Cox had
popped-up, Garland fielder walked
and stole second base. Clayton
fanned, but Nesbit walked, and Don
Costa batted in the run with a line
drive single to left.
Rice's other run came in the
eighth on Monte Robicheaux's
scratch hit, Page Roger's walk, and
a run-scoring ground-out by La-
don Cox.
Later in the inning, Duane Dean
got one of the addest base hits pos-
sible. With Cox on second, Dean hit
a pop-up over second. Cox immedi-
ately stood on second base and as

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests

No. 38...THE WOiF
MOST OF THEM
AREN'T WORTH
HOWLING ABOUT!'
Sharp character on campus — he's not easily
duped by deceptive devices! From the onset of
the tricky cigarette tests, he knew there
was one true test of mildness. Millions
of smokers throughout America have learned, too!
It's the sensible test. . . the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels
as your steady smoke, on a pack-after-pack,
day-after-day basis. No snap judgments! Once
you've tried Camels in your "T-Zone" (I*for
Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
After all the Mildness Tests ...
