Bats To Give Kats 15-0 Victory
'A combination of twelve hits,
five errors. and fourteen bases on
balls sent the slumping Rice base-
ball squad down to its seventh de-
feat in nine games Thursday on the
Rice diamond. The Sam Houston
State Bearkats, fielding one of the
better Texas college baseball teams,
came out on the long end of a 15-0
score.
Bobby Powers, Bearkat right-
hander, pitched a superb game, al-
lowing only two hits, and striking
out thre over the nine inning route.
Powers had a no-hitter going until
the sixth inning, when with one out
LaDon Cox looped a low liner into
left field to break the spell.

before swinging at pitches. This was
even in evidence in the Texas win,
but the clutch hits came when nec-
essary.
Perhaps, if the Owls could get
a set lineup and stay with it an
improvement could be made. '
Only Reckling and left fielder
Trotter have stalled all the games,
while the rest are closing their bat-
tinb eyes on the bench.
At any rate, there are still a good
many games left to play, and as the
teams sounds into a sharp condi-
tion there is sure an improvement
both afield and at the plate.
In the other spring sports Rice
is faring better, as an aroused
track team is making Texas and
A&M sit up and look. The Owls'
golf and tennis quartets are also
improving and both should place
high at the conference meet in May.

"Although only 41 years of age,
Rice is recognized as one of the
outstanding institutions of higher
learning both in this country and
abroad. Over the years it has at-
tracted to its halls a distinguished
faculty whose study and research
have contributed materially to the
common fund of world knowledge.
The formation of the Rice Institute
Associates will advance further
these aims of high scholastic en-
deavor."
