Cindermen in Oily Hone Meet;
Finish Third At College Station
Rice fans will get their only glimpse of the Owl track and
field teams tomorrow afternoon, when the varsity faces Texas
in a dual meet, while the Owjets play host to the Texas Short-
horns and Victoria Junior College.
The Owls participated in a triangular meet with Texas
A&M and Southern Methodist
at College Station last Satur-
day in a meet that showed im-
provement of the varsity ciri- <!." °lyTc': 5"' i"6,,4" '"!Juries'
finishing behind both Victoria and
dermen and the overall power
of the frosh. The Aggies piled up
109 points to 40 for SMU and 21
for the Owls. The Owlets took the
freshman division with 57 points
to 46 % for SMU and 42 for A&M.
Davis Wins Again
Ed Davis, of Rice, won the 880
as usual, in good time, but distance
runner Henry Winston pulled a
surprising upset in winning the
mile run over the vaunted James
Blaine, Dale DeRouen, and James
Hudgins. Winston's time was a re-
spectable 4:21.9, plenty good
enough to take first place in the
conference meet.
Another Owl who has shown vast
improvement is soph discus thrower
Ed Jackson, whose toss of 141' 8"
was good enough for fourth place.
Jackson, though small at 159 lb
compared with most discus throw-
ers, has excellent form and con-
siderable power. James "Popeye"
Beavers took second in the broad
jump and 220 yard dash, nearly
winning the latter.
Frosh Top Fish, Colts
The Rice Frosh came out on top in
their division, ahead of the Fish
and Colts. Outsanding performers
were Wesley Hight with firsts in
the low hurdles and the high hur-
dles, Kiel Landua with wins in the
100 arid 220, and Orville Trask's
first in the shot put which upset
highly touted teammate Don Wil-
son. Wilson, however, took first
spot in the discus. Hight finished
second in the century, in a race
which to all appearances finished
in a dead heat, with many observ-
ers claiming that Hight won.
In the meet tomorrow, Owl var-
sity men will get a little better
chance "to Show their stuff, as they
will not have the large Aggie squad
to contend with. Besides the mile
and half mile, Rice should score
firsts in the broadjump, mile re-
lay, and two mile run.
The frosh will meet the Victoria
Golfers End Season
With Aggie Match
By EDDIE STEVENS
After beating the Aggies in
handball nine matches to none two
weeks ago at Rice, the Owls' hand-
ball team was beaten two to seven
at A&M last Tuesday. The home
court advantage has thus far been
the deciding factor, but Rice won
one singles and a doubles match
despite a bad collective case of the
blind-staggers. The team expect to
play two more tournaments with
A&M and one with Texas U. before
the end of the year. Anyone inter-
ested in a team position may chal-
lenge for it by contacting Bob Eg-
gleston or Eddie Stevens at JU-
1201. The results with the Aggies
were:
Keibler defeated Tom Frost 21-7,
21-7} Frey defeated Bob Eggleston
21-7, 21-7; Centilli defeated Eddie
Stevens 21-10, 21-10; Hartwig de-
feated Van Williams 21-14, 21-18;
George Wilson defeated Tabb 10-
21, 21-7, 21-6; and Scott defeated
Eddie Graeff 12-21, 21-3, 21-7.
Frey and Tabb defeated Stevens
and Eggleston 21-19, 21-17; Frost
and Williams defeated Hartwig and
Keibler 11-21, 21-7, 21-6; and Cen-
tilli and Scott defeated Graeff and
Wilson 19-21, 21-12, 21-12.

ed from a 2-6 first set defeat to
take the second one 6-0, from Har-
mon Collins in the number 3 sin-
gles match. However, Collins pre-
vailed in the extended third set, 7-9.

tion, ha^ little difficulty in down-

defeated Compton Rees, 6-1, 6-2;
while Barney Donnelly tripped
Wayne Bennett, 6-1, 6-4.
In the doubles events, Richard-
son and frosh sensation Henry Jun-
gle teamed up to defeat Robinson
and Rees, 6-0, 6-1. In the number
2 match, Wickerham and Don Mer-
rit were the undoing of Miller and
Bennett, 6-3, 6-3.
Tomorrow, the netters meet Tex-
as Christian in the last match of
the season, prior to the conference
match in Forth Worth on May 14-
15. A win over the Frogs would
mean second place for the Owls, a
spot which they hold now only per-
centagewise. The TCU squad at
present holds last place.
