INTERSECTIONAL
DAY TOMORROW
FOR SOUTHWEST
Interscctional day for the Southwest
Conference. That is Saturday's pro-
gram as Rice and T. C. U. steal the
Southwestern spotlight, meeting in the
only conference game of the day. Bay-
lor, S. M. U., and Arkansas all play
interscctional foes and Texas A. and
M, and Texas University take the day
off before their Thanksgiving Day
meeting.
Rice, lending the conference pack
end with the crown cinched if they
can win two of their last three games,
meets T. C. U. who yet has an out-
side chance at the title if they can
Ik.IcJ their jinx over Rice which has
lscpt them without a loss to the Owls
since 1924. This game is due to be a
thriller although the coldest weather
of the season may hamper the offense
of both teams.
At Beaumont Baylor takes on Loy-
ola University of Los Angeles. Giv-
ing the Beaumont fans their first bit
of local intercollegiate football of the
year, this game should be a battle.
Loyola knocked oif the Centenary
Gents on the Coast recently arid are
reported as pretty tough. Baylor will
be trying to get back into their win-
ning ways after getting kicked over
by Texas and S. M. U. on successive
Saturdays. Previous to that Baylor
had jumped to a rating of the fourth
best team in the nation.

Airey Talks
To Rice "Y"

Advocating a course in "Preparation
for Marriage," Reverend J. W. Airey,
pastor of the St. Andrew's Episcopal
Church, and member of the Ministerial
Alliance, addressed the open meeting
of the Rice Y. W. C. A. at Autry
House Friday night.
Reverend Airey presented the argu-
ments used in the recent discussion
with Dr. Oberholtzer, superintendent
of the Houston Public Schools, and a
group of modern-thinking citizens and
parents who recently suggested to the
school board that a course in marriage
preparation be presented in the Hous-
ton high schools. Reverend Airey's
topic was "The Psychological Effect of
Marriage on Young People."

THEATRES—
(Continued from Page 3)
Chain Gang" with Paul Muni was re-
leased a few years ago, interest was
aroused to sueh an extent that the pic-
ture was a smashing success wherever
played. Here was an excellent ex-
ample of how the social and dramatic
aspects were interwoven with splen-
did acting, and direction by Mervyn
LeRoy, to make it the success it was.
The Devil's Island episodes with the
imprisonment of Captain Dreyfus in
the recent "The Life of Emile Zola"
are never-to-be-forgotten scenes, it is
unanimously agreed.
Others include "Jailbreak," "Road
Gang," and the recent "San Quentin."
The very latest, "Alcatraz Island" has
the intensity of many of the preceding
films.
A story with a background of rack-
ets and love, has John Litel a rack-
eteer, as the father of lovely Mary
Maguire, who has spent her girlhood
in an exclusive girls' boarding school.
Ann Sheridan plays the romantic
lord opposite Litel. She has recently
come into her own after performances
in "San Quentin" and "Wine, Women
and Horses."
William McGann directed the film
from a story by Crane Wilbur. Also
in the cast are Vladimir Sokoloff who
olnyed Cezanne in "The Life of Emile
Zola," and Dick Purcell.

urday. is fully recovered. Walter Wil-
liams, who was used for a short while
last week, is back in top form as is
Herman Price, starting center. Clif-
ford Klindworth and E. Y. Steaklcy,
ends, are still on the ailing lists, but
Frank Steen, Don Hager, Williams.
Nance, Billy Robb, and Harold Pal-
mer can take care of the wing posts
in fine shape.
The Owls tomorrow will face a jinx
that has been too strong for them ever
since 1924. In that year the record
book shows that the Owls sneaked a
win over T. C. U., something they have
not been able to accomplish since then.
For three years during that time the
Fountain Pen Hospital repairs all

Owls and the Frogs <Ud not play'. In
one other game Rice gained a tie. The
rest of the games have been T.'C. U.
victories by margins of from one point
on up. In 1834 the Owls led by John
McCauley and Bill Wallace appeared
ready to whip the jinx but were beat-
en 7-2 for their only defeat of the
season.
T. C. U. has been the tough luck
team of the conference. They bowed
to the Fordham Rams, ranked as one
of the country's top five team, 7-6,
Fordham scoring in the last two min-
utes of play. They lost to Baylor 6-0,
the game ending with T. C. U. in pos-
session of the ball on the Baylor 6
yard line. Centenary took a 10-9 de-
cision from them. That's a bunch of
tough ones.
Last week the Frogs showed they
had plenty of ability as they took the
Texas Steers out of the play for little
Davey O'Brien to score twice and add
both extra points for a 14-0 victory.
Leading the line play were two big
lads, I. B. Hale, 240 pound tackle, and
Ki Aldrich big center, both of whom
are being boomed for All-American
by those who have seen them play.
Besides these boys Glenn Rogers and
Mason Mayne, Horned Frog guards
