Freund Will 1 d*-Max Freund
Give Lecture
"The Brothers Grimm" Is
Topic of Third Talk of
Annual Series.
The third lecture of the Sunday
Public Lecture series will be delivered
this Sunday at 4:30 in the Physics Am-
phitheatre bldg. by Mr. Max Freund
of the German department of the Rice
Institute.
Mi*. Freund is going to lecture on
"The Brothers Grimm." He will un-
dertake two apparently desperate
things. On the one hand he will
simply tell one of those naive fairy
tales with which the name of the
brothers Grimm, is so closely connect-
ed. On the other hand he has the am-
bition to explain and make palatable
to his audience something which the
limited linguistic experience of chil-
dren could certainly not comprehend
and which most lecturers would prob-
ably pass by with a respectful bow:
Grimm's Law, which deals Willi the
kinship and sound shiftings of the
English arid German and the other
Teutonic languages. Mr. Freund even
hopes to be able to engage the inter-
est of his listeners in Grimm's Deuts-
ehesi'Worterbuch, the: largest arid' most
comprehensive dictionary of the Ger-
man language consisting of about 20
volumes. And of course he will dis-
cuss the life and personalities of the
two interesting and Important scholar
brothers.
The second lecture of the series was
indefinitely,, postponed because of the
illness of Dr*. Stockton Axson, Profes-
sor of English Literature;. Hie topic of
his lecture was to be "The Eccentric
DeQuincey."
The fourth lecture of the series vill
be delivered Sunday, January 28, by
Mr. Alan Dugald MeKilltip, Professor
of English, on "Charles Lamb Sees
London."

After Defeating T.C.U. Rice
Is Whipped by S.M.U.
Basketeers.
Coach Jimmy Kitts' Rice Owl bas-
keteers returned home last Wednesday
after a disastrous road trip that prac-
tically wrecked their aspirations for
the 1935 Southwestern Conference
championship. <3
The Owls dropped three of their
four lilts on the road and now have a
conference percentage of .400 with two
yicttiries and three defeats. This
places the Owls in fifth place.
Arkansas started the Owls off on
the wrong fobt as they hit the Rice
quintet with two defeats In the first
game the Owls were nosed out by the
Razorbacks in a hectic battle by one
point as Poole, Arkansas star, sank a
last second goal to make the final
score 31.-30. Willis Orr was high point
man for the Owls with ten points. The
Owls were oif to a slow start in this
game and the Porkers led 20-9 at the
half.
The second Rice-Porker tilt turned
out to be a rough house affair and
the Owls- were swamped 39-19. The
Rice attack failed to click and Kelly.
Rice center, failed to get the tip-off
consistently as Poole, Arkansas pivot
man, outjumped him.
Last Monday night the Owl attack
was working and the Owls showed
their true form as they took the
Texas Christian University Horned
Frogs by the score of 36-24. The
Owls spurted in the last fifteen min-
utes of the game with Steele, Rice
forward, doing most of the Steaming.
The count was deadlocked 20-2(*-when
the Rice players started their spurt.
The Owls had a one point lead at the
half with the score 16-15. Eleven Owls
saw service in this-game and every-
one scored at least two points.
Rice started like a storm against the
Southern Methodist Mustangs last
Tuesday night and ran up five points
before the Ponies scored, but the
storm was over too soon and the Mus-
tangs swamped the Owls to the tune
of 32-19. After their first spurt the
Owl attack failed to click. At the half
S, M. U. led by four points with the
score 17-13. The Owls were held to
si* points in the last half.
Dr. Max Freund. Professor of Ger-
man, will deliver the third scheduled
Sunday Lecture this week on the sub-
ject of "The Grimm Brothers "
A.S.C.E. Men
Eligible For
Cash Prizes
Thomas Herndon Elected as
Chairman for Group
of Engineers
Thy;'Rice-'branch of the A. S.' M. E.
elected1 officers fpti. the new, term at a
mteting held 111 the M. L on Monday
morning. Those elected were Thomas
Iteriidon. .chairman. .C. J. Brooke, sec-
retary and treasurer: and Robert Fitz-
bigh. assistant secretary. These men
will succeed fi. H Nolley and Ben
Ramey who have acted t'ot the past
■tetin.
Several offers;; for inspection trips,
were presented, but the members
vot#d to decline thorn uritil after ex-
aminations.
Nolley announced that the| student
branches of the Southwest colleges
would hold a district meeting in Dal-
las sometime'after March 15. A rep-
resentative 'from each of 1he schools
will present a paper on some phase of
Mechanical Engineering, preferably
upon Some research work conducted
by the student himself, and cash prizes
of $50, $25. and $15 will be awarded to
the authors of the three best papers.
All junior and senior members of
the Rice branch of the A. S. M. E„ a
list o) whom is posted on the , M. L
bulleting board, are eligible for this
contest. They will present their papers
to all the "members of the society al
a meeting which- will be announced,
later. From these, the society will
choose its representative to the district
meeting. The winner will have part
and possibly all his expenses paid
while on the two day trip to Dallas.
Since this is the first meeting of the
kind to be held by the A. S, M. E.
nothing is known as to how the Dal-
las conclave will be conducted. Prof
Pot® however, told the society of
how similar organizations in other sci-
ences conduct their district meetings
and expressed the opinion that this onr
would be- somewhat the same. Mr
Pond said that, there was a three-folc
purpose why everyone eligible should
enter this contest? First, the 1'esearch
and the collaboration of ones own
ideas will be a valuable experience te
all the students. Second, there is a
chance to winifca nice, usable cash
orizes. And third, these papers, should
they win a prize, would be a huge
selling factor in job-hunting after
graduation, Any one of these is suf-
Icient reason unto itself of why the
students should enter the contest, and
taken together, it is irresistible,
"Creative Writing," George G. Wil-
liams' latest contribution to the art of
better writing will be run off the press
by Harpers in the very near future.
Mr. Williams, of the Rice Institute
English Department, in composing this
new and original textbook lias filled
a long felt need.
This new book, which begins where
the ordinary freshman course ends is
wholly original and has been written
primarily as an advanced Course ,for
those who show literary promise. The
work has; been roughly divided into
three parts. The first pgrtipn is de-
voted to matters of"style and artistry,
clarity, vigor, beauty, personality, and
imagery. Expository writing is ex*
pertly treated in the next part , and the
remaning section is concerned with the
writing of fiction.
This textbook has been especially,
desjgned , so as , to' coyer an entire
year's work and the most gifted
teacher could not ask lor a more skill-
fully planned or brilliantly executed
volume to, places before his student,
lii using this book to 1 serve as a full
year course, the ilrst semester svould
be spent in acquiring the fundamental
principals and the second to Cither ex-
pository or narrative writing or both.
In composing his exercises, Mr.
Williams, has departed from preced-
ence in gatl he, has cleyprly made
them almost I wholly creative rathe"
than critical. This idea is in harmony
with the entire book which tends to
develop the students native talent and
aid: lii.rtv in bringing out. his men per-
sonal style. Rather than merely al-
lowing, him, to examine and appreciate
the work of others those exercikcs
adequately cover every problem raised
in the text and are abundant enough
to provide a wide Choice.
No greater, tribute Can be paid to
creative writing that tendered by an
eminent English 'authority to whom
the manuscript was submitted ---"This
is an admirably conceived and exe-
cuted text. . . . The material in Part
I constitutes a review of the more im-
portant matters which a handbook
might contain. , some decidedly inter-
esting and practical advanced rhetoric,

c
Jimmy Scott's Orchestra To
Furnish Music for
"Shipwreck Dance."
Complete arrangements for the an-
lual Sophomore Dance were an-
lounced yesterday by Jack Morrison
hairman of the dance committee; The
ianee will be held at River Oaks
Country Club, February 8. Jimmy
Scott and his Campus Band will
urnish the music for the occasion,
Date bids are priced at $2.00, and stag
lids are $1.50. The hall is being dec-
anted "as a desert island, lending to
he atmosphere of the event.
Although the plans are not yet com-
peted, arrangements are being made
'or a floor show to lie put, on by the
Vlary Jane Studio, "it is hoped that
he floor show can be arranged so as
o carry out the "Shipwreck" theme
if the dance. Bids will lie placed on
sale in the Sallyport very shortly.
and some comments which are really
far superior to those found in many
so-called literary essays on matters of
styles etc. ... 1 am particularly im-
pressed with .the range of the author's
references and allusions. It seems to
me that he has chosen exceptionally
gbod passages, from a wide range of
authqrs. Not one of the selections has
been included save for some definite
purposik ... Ariother impressive fea-
ture of the book is«.t,he exercises. They
are rich in. utjjnber and inventioirj'and
should be of grea( .use to both student
and instructor. There is not one of
thein but has the air of having either
.been tried out, or being thoroughly
capable of, commission. . ;iMJt consider
it a notable contribution. . . It cer-
tainly is the best book of its kind I

Debaters Leave
For Tournament
After Exams
"Rather Rough On Robert"
Is First Play of Contest,
Says Parker.
The one-act play contest held an-
nually by the Rice Dramatic Club will
take place following the February'ex-
aminations. Bob Clepums, president,
announced. The contest has previous-
ly been held in January, Mr. Clemens
stated, and its progress has been hind-
ered by conflicting with stpdy preced-
ing the examinations
flSiis years content, proiiiis.es to: be a
great success, and in viev,* !6f the
wide-spread interest already shown in
it, there will be an unusually large
number of one-fret plays presented on
this occasion.
A definite date lor the contest has
not been set, but it will probably take
place about two weeks after the
exams, Mr. Clemens said. This will
give the students who are interested
in presenting a play ample time to
work on it before the contest.
It was decided at the last meeting
of the club that a nomihal fee of ten
cents would be charged to everyone
attending the contest. The money will
be given to the Autry House in con-
sideration for the use of the auditori-
um and stage which the club is very
grateful, it was announced.
Prizes' will be awarded the be>
actor and the best actress. The judge*
