RICE-BAYLOR
SPLIT IN TWO
GAME SERIES
By dividing their two-game series
with the Baylor Bears the Rice Owls
clotted their 1923 basketball season in
Houston. The Rrst game went to
Baylor 26-25, but Rice romped away
with the second by the score of 82-18.
The second game was played Saturday
afternoon in order that the Owls
might leave for Oklahoma A. and M
where they played their last game of
the season.
The two games were of the ordinary
variety showing plainly the let-up in
form which is always shown near the
end of the season. The Rrst game
went to Baylor by a margin of one
point gained in the last 30 seconds of
play—the only time during the entire
game that the Bears were in the lead.
Rice got off to a whirlwind start
and it looked as though Rice would
swamp the visitors. But there one
erred, for the Bears plugged away at
the basket with mid-court shots and
s)ow!y decreased the lead until they
stood one point behind. Then Bell
iooped a iong one and the story was
dosed.
In winning Bayior exhibited de-
termination and pluck but no basket-
baii tactics worthy of notice. They
were siow and lacking in team work
and decidedly individual in their
work. The majority of their shots
were of the long variety. A fact
which speaks well for the close guard-
ing of the 17-foot district.
The Owls were decidedly off on their
shots, ('oleman in particular was not
able to find the basket while Swartz
fell oft' from his unerring style in
looping fouls.
The second game was more on the
order of midseason form with the
Owls showing flashes of brilliant team
work. This did not hide the fact,
however, that lots of ragged work
cropped out. In contrast to the pre-
vious night the Owls were right. AH
men on the floor with the exception of
Kay made counters.
"Charlie" Swartz played the floor
in great style on both occasions and
made up for his silps Friday night by
clever head work on Saturday. C'amp-
bcl! at guard was very effective, ex-
hibiting an unexpected skil! in goal
shooting. He turned in two pretty-
baskets Friday night and another one
on Saturday. He has proved himself
to be a dangerous man in an all-
around way, dosety approaching the
versatile Captain Willis.
Coleman piaying his last series of
his college career made his fame se-
cure by piaying great ball on Satur-
day. looping four beautiful shots.
Fitch came out of his clump with a
hang and turned in a great game.
Willis and Ray were, as usuat, the
backbone of the defense.
Lyons, Be!) and Woodson were out-
standing men for Baylor. Lyons
counted on several spectacular mid-
court shots.

Rice Closes Season on
Basketball
Court
The Rice Owls closed their 1923
basketbatt season by defeating the
Oktahoma Aggies 28 to 21.
The game was very hard fought
from start to finish. The Aggies got
off to a good start and ted at the end
of the first half 17 to 12, but at the
beginning of the second half the
Owts scored 8 points before the
Aggies realized what had happened.
In this half the Aggies scored but
one field goal and two fouls white
Rice pited up 16 points.
Fitch led the offensive by scoring
four field goals. Coleman with 7
points came second. Comparatively
few long shots were made, both teams
with Rice having the edge in this de-
partment. Coleman playing his tast
ptaying for under the basket shots
college basketbatt game made his
fame secure by turning in a hard
game. Coleman has been named by
tocal basketball officials on mythical
all-Southwestern team along with his
team mate Ray. Coteman has had
three years of great playing and
reached the height of his career in his
last game.
For Oklahoma Dean and Sales were
mainstays. This victory places Rice
in third ptace for conference honors
with Texas and Texas A. and M. in
first and second ptaces respectively.
University of Southern California:
Instead of inflicting upon the senior
class treasurer, and his assistants, the
job of hunting up members of the
class of '23 and extracting dues from
them, the seniors have voted to take
up a collection at each ctass meeting
at which each member is to give a
quarter. Since attendance is com-
pulsory, this plan is expected to suc-
ceed. The sum of $32.50 was obtain-
ed the first time-the plan was tried.
