WITH UINDY OREADY
The Southwest Conference baseball
chase this year should prove quite
interesting with most clubs conceded
to be considerably stronger than last
year. At any rate, it will be a tighter
race.
Rice, S. M. U., and T. C. U. appear
at present much stronger than in 1930.
Texas conference champions, also will
have a powerful team and while they
will miss greatly the crafty pitching
of Johnny Railton, they boast an array
of sophomore talent which should
make it hard on opposing teams.
Rice looks greatly improved, and if
the pitchers come through, should be
in the running. As hurlers this sea-
son the Owls will rely on Ray Hart,
stellar righthander who was the only
consistent winner on last year's squad;
"Smokey" Klaerner, blond lad who
got his practice throwing beer bottles
at jackrabbits in Fredericksburg, and
Blake Sellers, rangy center on the Rice
basketball five. Hart is the only
pitcher in the trio of known quantity,
and if the others live up to expecta-
tions, Rice may go somewhere in the.
conference race.
* * *
A feature of the practice sessions on
the Owl diamond has been the play of
"Marty" Martinkus, popular Illinois
youth. Martinkus has turned in some
excellent fielding, and consistent hitting.
While he is not a slugger, he socks the
apple with much regularity and should
add needed hitting strength to the
team.

Coach Ernie Hjertberg believes that,
1933 will be a banner year for Rico
in the way of track. Coach Ernie
would make no predictions for this
year, other than say that he will have
a fair team. Before a good slant on
the 1931 team can be gained, Coach
Hjertberg must find out what the
football men now going out for spring
grid training can do. In 1933, how-
ever, all of his promising sopho-
mores will be seniors with three years
of training behind them, and the prom-
ising freshmen tracksters will be
juniors.

The Owls have a brilliant group of
high jumpers turning out from the
freshman and sophomore classes. Head-
ing the sophomore list is Mike Hale,
high jumper and broad jumper de luxe
from Smithville, and Malcom Cum-
mings. In the freshman class there
are three athletes who can jump
around six feet. Aucoin, Adams, and
Oran Hitt have all at one time or
another gone that high. Hitt, Jeff
Davis youth who showed up so well,
at high school, has not been able to
practice much because of a bad foot.
Aucoin is n former San Jacinto boy
who went as high as six feet in high
school and who should go even higher
before leaving Rice. Dick Baldry is
the other high jumper on the Rice
team. Baldry is one of the greatest
field men in the game and earned the
title of "Rice's one-man track team"
by participating in the broad jump,
high jump, pole vault, hurdles, discus
throw, shot put, and javelin.
Is there anything much more pa-
thetic these zero morning3 than chaste
Diana on a radiator cap, enveloped in
a cloud of steafri?
And then there was the Wicker-
sham report.
CLASS OF *33 AGAIN
WALKS AWAY WITH
INTRAMURAL MEET
Baldry, Junior Star, Is High
Point Man With 19
Markers
Following the victory achieved in
last year's class meet, the brilliant
array of sophomore talent again ran
away with the annual interclass track
meet, scoring <58 points to 46 of the
juniors. The freshmen and seniors
trailed with 18 and 11 points respec-
tively. The meet was held on March
C, 7, and 9, and brought out some
splendid performance despite the fact
that a stiff wind swept the track Sat-
urday.
The versatile Dick Baldry, junior
star, took high point honors, register-
ing 19 points in six events. Four other
performers were bunched, Holloway
with I2'«i Harbour with ll'i, Burk
and Pearson, with 10, were the other
luminaries of the meet. Holloway won
the 100 and 220 yard dashes; Harbour
captured the 880 and 440; Burk heaved
the discus and shot put for first places,
while Gayno Pearson galloped away
wilh the mile and two-mile runs. The
first three are all sophomores, while
Pearson is a freshman.
If indications may be used front this
meet, the Rice Owls will be very much
in evidence when the conference meet
comes around. With this brilliant show-
ing of the sophomores, Coach Ernie
Hjertberg is assured of splendid track
teams for the next three seasons.

mary of the meet:

Use of X-ray with Cancer
W. K. Green was the speaker at the
meeting of the Pre-Med society last
Tuesday night. Taking as his subject
"The Effects of Roentgen Ray Radia-
tion on Normal and Cancerous Tissue,"
Green reviewed about ten fields of re-
search woik done by workers of the
American Association for Cancer Re-
search.
Taking the different types of cells in
the human body, Green cited the var-
ious effects of radiation on the cells
In respect to their different degrees of
mitotic activity, and attempted to ex-
plain the differences in the alpha, beta,
and gamma rays of the x-ray with re-
gard to their effects on normal and can-
cerous tissues.

DOWNING HEARD IN
ARCRAFTADDRESS
Fritz Volkmer Chairman for
Meeting Carded This
Afternoon
Engineering seminar last Friday fea-
tured Lewis Downing, who spoke on
"Power Equipment for Aircraft Radio."
In this talk Downing stated that ai
preset, t the wind driven generator is
most popular on account of its light
weight, but that present indications
show that independent motor driven
units will supersede the wind-driven
type, especially on the larger planes.
Other types in use today include the
dynamotor, which is driven directly
from the motor of the plane Constant
speed generators arc also in high
favor.
following Downing* talk, M. ,1
Smith spoke on A. C. rectification, ex-
plaining the various types and uses of
each. The Mercury are type appears to
have the most widespread use, al-
though the "Tungar" and other sim-
ilar types have dominated the field of
small units. The very large type take
the form of rotary or synchronous con-
verters.
George Kitchell gave several aspects
on "Rotary vs. Standard Drilling." The
;ltindard drilling rig is the earliest
type and is still in wide use. While the
rotary type is of more recent inven-
tion it is used almost exclusively in the
Gulf Coast region. The reasons for |
the choice of either type were given
as: character of earth, time required,
and cost.
This afternoon, Ed McCarthy will
talk on "Photography as a Scientific
Instrument." Sam Miron will speak i
about "Vacuum Tubes," and Morgan
Campbell will speak on "Mississippi
Flood Control." Fritz Volkmer will be
chairman.
Taking a vacation from their routine
laboratory work, the students of Bi-
ology 470 want on an inspection tour
of the city disposal plant near the turn-
ing basin Wednesday afternoon. The
primary object of the tour was to learn
the exact mechanism of sewage puri-
fication and disposal by bacterial ac-
tion on the debris from the sewers of
the city. |
Quite a bit of commotion was caused i
when some of the students tried to I
persuade one or two of their fellow j
•students to be martyrs to experiment!!-'
lion by drinking some of the purified]
sewage to see if there would be any
ill effects. No one could be prevailed
upon to 'm i ifiee his health to prove the
purity of the fluid, so once more a
proof of the efficiency of science was
Kft for someone with more courage
than that evinced by Rico students.
