THE THRESHER
OWL BASEBALLERS LOSE TO
HOMED FROOS IH GOOD GAME
Last Friday in Ft. Worth, the
league leading TCU Horned
Frogs defeated the Rice Owls,
5-0, in a short, well-played base-
ball game. John Wolda, Rice
pitching star, went the distance
for the Owls, giving up just 6
hits, 2 walks, and striking out
3. Howeve^, a 3-run home run
in the second inning by 1st base-
man Travis Groom provided the
necessary margin, and the Frogs
added 2 more security runs in
the sixth frame. Frank Windig-
ger, the TCU pitcher, was just
as stingy himself, giving up only
2 free passes and 5 hits—three
singles by John Ludwig, a sin-
gle by Bob Burns, and a double
by Billy Arhos.
The two teams were to have
played a two game series, the
second game to have been played
Saturday.. Bad weather, how-
ever, forced postponement of the j
game until May 7.
The victory boosted TCU to j
a 2 game lead over the rest of:
the Conference, with a seven .

Athletic Fields
May Be Enlarged,
Hermance Reveals
G. L. Hermance, director of
the Physical Education Depart-
ment, has announced a proposed
enlargement of the athletic
fields, pending approval of the
Board of Trustees.
Twelve new, hard surfaced
tennis courts are being planned
in the area close to the baseball
diamond, towards Main Street.
There will be a spectator's stand
for tournament play. This area
is now being used fpr tjie girls'
soccer and softball fields.
These girls' intramural fields,
alpng with four fields for the
boys, will be moved across the
road that runs in front of the
Gym. Besides increasing the
size of the playing fields, this
move will certainly save the P.T.
students a lot of walking:
Tentative plans are under way
to move the cinder track of the j
old stadium up about fifteen
feet, and to increase its length.
The straight-away portion of the
track will remain in the same
position.
Inside the Gym
Inside the gym itself, four
more handball courts and one
more basketball court will be
added, with the enlargement be-
ing added to the southwest wing
of the gym facing the present
tennis courts.
Mr. Hermance has indicated
that all of these proposed sug-
gestions are as yet tentative;
but, if they meet with the ap-
proval of the Board of Trustees,
work will begin on these plans
in the near future.

f I H:
By Alan Ringold
In view of the current propos-;
ed expansion of intramural fa-
I
cilities we feel that there is one
rather important problenf that
shouldn't be overlooked—namely
the so-called "parking lot" by
the gym.
We are not proposing that the
whole area be made into a park- J
ing lot but just enough for about
eighty cars. We understand that
the Physical Education Depart-
ment has put a request in every
year for the past five years for !
just such a lot, and to date, their
request doesn't seem to have
gotten very far.
Such ' a parking area would
not be intended for use by dorm
hoys, but primarily intended for :
those students who have a P.T.
class or an intramural game, i
Usually town students leave
home after classes, and then
must return for a class or a
game. Naturally they can't be
expected to park at the Chem.
or Lovett Hall lots and walk.
Also the stadium lot is not j
marked off correctly for such
parking, and isn't the answer
anyway since everyone wants to
get* as close to the gym" as pos- j
sible. The present unpaved gym ■
lot then seems to be the most
logical place.
Other Reasons
There are several other rea-
sons for paving in such a lot.
The parking area as it is right
no\£ is an eyesore, and for sev-
eral days after it rains it be-
comes a quagmire that even Ma-
rines would hesitate to take a
disciplinary march through. Such
muck forces cars to crowd the
road, and increases the chances
of accidents as well as stopping
people trying to get to the ath-
letic or ticket, offices on busi-
ness.
Landscaping the lot is out of
the question since the Athletic
Department uses it for parking
for baseball games. If part of
the lot were paved, though, then
the other part could be landscap-
ed and used for intramural fa-
cilities.

RICE MEN STRIP
(UP TO KNEES)
The new trend in men's ap-
parel to manifest itself on cam-
pus calls to mind the time al-
most two years ago when an un-
official group on campus called
the Rho Alpha's broke the Con-
servative Rice tradition and
broke out in similar garfo one
week. One of the undergraduate
Culture Majors picked up the
fad — simulating the Rto -'Al-
pha's. After three days the fad
died an ignominious death.
