JUNIORS HAVE
WOODS PARTY
Fpeshmsn aad GMs Have Mcnic
in Hetntann Park with CMnp-Aw
Cooking.
In accordance with the military spirit
of Rice, the Junior girls entertained the
Freshmen girls with a war party on Sat-
urday, November 17, at Herman Park.
At three o'clock, about thirty-Rye "Hob"
arrived, aii carrying sticks of wood, the
use of which was the subject of much
discussion. At the order of the Juniors
nil the Freshmen iined up before the
hearths, upon which a roaring Are had
been built. Miss Ruby South ascended
to the platform (a bench), and deliv-
ered the foiiowing address:
"FreBhmen: On this, the 17th day
of November, in the year of our Ldrd
1917, we, the Junior Class of Rice in-
stitute, have bidden you here to per-
form a part in most soiemn and digni-
fied rites.
"This is the Are of your ambition, of
your hopes, of all that you hold most
dear. When this altar has been kindled
its warmth shall be as the literature,
the brilliance of its flames, as the art.
and the fumes of its vapors as the
science of this, the coming generation.
And on these things depend the prog-
ress of civilization. For this purpose
was the Rice Institute founded. Each
class is responsible for a certain part in
the carrying out of the aims of our
noble University—in furthering the ad-
vancement of literature, art and science.
At this time, two years hence, wilt the
Junior Class of 1920 have its chance to
contribute to the culture of the ages.
Now, can each one of you do your bit,
remembering, "that as a man soweth, so
shall he reap.' "
Then each fish went solemnly and
laid her stick upon the fire.
When the ceremony was completed
arrangements were made for a "Tug of
War." The opposing sides were made
up of eleven Juniors and eleven Fresh-
men. The "fish" were victorious. Af-
ter that all formed in a long line and
"lock-stepped" through the woods, stop-
ping occasionally to form R's, F's and
J's, and give many "Rah, rah, rail's,"
until thcy^were summoned to the pa-
vilion for refreshments. Everybody
"fell to" and roasted weiners, toasted
marshmaliows and ate apples until dark
drove them home. The party was de-
clared by ail a "howling success."

CHAMPIONSHIP
TO BE DECIDED
(Continued From Page One.)
Looking; at the Aggie tine it is easy to
see why few gains ate made through it;
M(-Murray and Capt. Ford, tacktes and
McKnight and Wilson, guards. More
avoirdupois has nuvor represented
these positions on any Texas teams. In
Capt. Ford A. & M. has a powerful, ag-
gressive tackle; the guards should hohl
their own, although Coach Arbuckie
cares little for weight, and for two years
has demonstrated the superiority of his
iight men. McMurray is a large man,
with lots of drive. He probabty wit)
be expected to puncture the Owl line
when cailed back from tackie, but it's
mighty seldom gains of a foot or two
amount to touch-downs. Opposing these
men will .be Green and Jarvis, tackies,
and Middieton and Caph McFariand,
guards, outweighed 30 pounds to the
man. Capt. McFartand, 145. has never
met a superior opposing guard, and wit!
not in this game. Middieton, the other
Owl guard, is the heavy-weight of the
team, with 205 pounds. At that he is
considerably outweighed by his oppo-
nent Wilson, who tips the beam around
230. Jarvis and Green have proved
their sterling merit in every game.
On the wings Mice certainly has the
edge. Brick and Rudd are not equalled
in the State, and if A. & M. runs
around them they wiil be the first team
to do so. Griesenbeck and Gouger are
holding down the A. & M. ends, and in
Tuesday's game, the former did -nttie
pretty defensive work.
The back fields are very evenly
matched in speed, although weight on
the line favors A. & M. The Farmers
base a great deal of their hopes on the
toe work of Collins nnd the speed of
McClintock, the former to put the ba!t
in Rice territory and the latter to carry
it over. Dormant for Rice is playing
his second year at center and deiivering
m good style. His punts will b<:
matched against the best in the State,
but he is expected to stand well in the
comparison. Anderson, the A. & M.
center, stacks up about equal in
weight and handling the bail.
In Higginbotham you have a hard-
driving half, dangerous in broken iietd.
Mahan at full and Elam at quarter yhow
a great deal of aggressiveness.
For Itice, Bell and Lindsey at halves
are hard to beat, and the Rice followers
will vouch for their score in any game.
With Sullivan, that hard running Italian
boy, and Heath to relieve these two, the
A. & M. defense wilt be kept busy. At
fullback Kennedy has proved an effec-
tive passer and star on defense. Mor-
gan passes even better, and can most
creditably deliver if called upon.
Nash and Jarrell have divided honors
in practicarlly every game, and either
one is capable of running the team in
top notch style in the grand finale.
It bids fair to be one of the greatest
contests ever witnessed in Texas. Rice
players, the heart of every student, past
and present, is with you; the eyes of
Houston, of Texas, and the whole South-
west, are upon you—may you record
eternally i nthe archives of clean sport
your fame and glory—Rice, Champions.
