stitution's show-case. 'Twas none
other than the winged Mercury of
bronze, indicating Itice's Southwest
conference track championship.
Gene Bailey was named as fctlne and

The Rice Cagers go on the road
for four games, losing all four—two
of them by one point. S. M. U. 29.
Rice 28. T. C. U. 28, Rice 27.
The track and tennis prospects
were looking bright as the abnormally
short month rolled to a close. Base-
ball had been hindered by rainy
weather.
SPRING
With the first of March, comes the
news of the signing of Coach Ernie
Hjertbcrg to coach Rice track and
crosscountry aspirants. Cuui.le Kotb-
geb has left, the Institute.
Around the twenty.second of March
Marvin Dttrrenheiger of Elgin, Illinois
came to the Sallyport as an aid to
Coach Meagher, Rice's '29 tennis
schedule Is announced: the Owl nine
wins the first game on its schedule.
Jesse Willis and Nelson Greer made
excellent showings at the Fort Worth
Slock Meet track show during the
middle of March.
With the opening of April, attention
of the South was focused on the
Texas and S. M. U. meets; some
records were broken; Bracey sets a
new dash record.
Later in April, the Owls swept their
diamond series with the S. M. U,
Mustangs; they lost to A. & M. In
track; Rice won three tennis meets.
And still later in the merry month
of April, the Owls lost to the Steers
in track, The fifth running of the
Rice Interscholastlc truci, meet was
also held that month.
With the opening of May, wo find
that the tennis team has won seven-
teen straight matches, and that
Claude Bracey won the famous Drake
century. Coming on the heels of this
announcement, however, is the one
telling of the Owl racketeer's first
loss of the season.
Ted Strong wins the intramural
tennis crown.
Rice lost the conference track title
at Dallas, still later in May. Plans are
laid for an 'R' banquet. And Rice
athletics soon leave for their sum-
mer's work.
FALL
Come the middle of September.
Doors of the Institute were thrown
open to 1400 students. The grid sea-
son was a week or so away. Rice plac-
ed on the field the most powerful

stalwarts.

program.
This appearance will be made Feb

sponsored by the Star Electric and En-
gineering Company. This hour of
classical ami semi-classical music is ;
broadcast regularly every Sunday aft- j
eriioon from I to 2 o'clock over station ;

The numbers which have been |
chosen for the program are:
"Ooin' Home," from the New World

"The Meadow," taken from the
opera "Mlgnon" by Thomas.
"The Old Refrain," an old Viennese
folk song translated by Fritz Krels'er.
The girls will be accompanied in
the selections by the Star Quintet.
The game had been moved from
Houston to College Station when the
city auditorium was unavailable. Rice
bad just returned from a disastrous
road trip, losing games to S. M. I'.
and T. C. l\
THE S. M. U. GAME.
At Dallas the Owls were trimmed
31 to 2X.
With Ray Hart and Jake lless lead-
ing tlie attack for Rice, the half found
them out in front by an I Sto 13 mar-
gin. However the Mustangs went, wild
in the last period and In a Sensational
rally snatched the game from a bat-
tling Rice team that should have met
a belter fate.
A major feature of the game was
the brilliant floor work of Ray Hart,
who scored 13 of his team's points
Hart's shots seemed to find the bas-
ket with uncanny frequency and with
Williams of S. M. T,T. Ray shared the
scoring honors, each running up the
same total.
Jake Hess also played a fine game
looping the basket four times and
chalking up nine markers for second
place honors.
LOSE TO T. C. U.
With beards still flowing, the Rice
quintet again went down to defeat
on Saturday at Fort Worth In a hard
fought game.
The score was 33 to 21.
Jake. Hess, stellar Owl forward, ac-
counted for 17 of his teams' points.
It seemed as though his throws could
not miss the basket, while his speedy
teammate at the forward position,
Ray Hart, could not. *et going at. his
usual basket looping skill.
The bewhiskered Owls presented a
strange appearance as they took the
court with their resolution of not
parting with t.hlr bards until they bad
won two games still holding good.
