THE THRE SHE E i! HO VSTPH. T EX AS
DUAL MEET
WITH TEXAS
ON SATURDAY
Prospects Bright for
Copping the Track
Rice stands a good chance to cop the
meet Saturday. From Saturday's
demonstration of track ability against
the Baylor team, a great deal of con-
fidence has been placed in the Owi
spiked shoe athletes as to their ability.
Frank Goss measured up to his
previous standards on the track. He
showed tremendous speed when he
ran the century and 220 yard dash.
He is counted on making two first
places against.Texas. Fitch, a new
man to the Owl team this year, cover-
ed himself with laurels Saturday. He
should count against the Longhoms
in the meet this week.
Watt is a sure bet in the quarter
miie for Rice with Simpson close to
his heeis. Watt showed speed on the
curves. He has developed a pretty
stride for his races this year.
Coieman is entered in the mile and
haif-mile for Rice. He did some good
work last Saturday. The Longhoms
have some exceptionally good distance
men this year. They wiil give this
Corpus Christi lad a good test in the
mile run. Gibben proved a second
good point maker for Rice in the mile
tun.
Leftwieh wili meet the Texas two
miiers this week. He showed the
stuff on the 8 iaps against Baytor.
He will no doubt give the Texas bunch
a hard run for their money. He iooks
like a sure bet for a first place for
Rice.
Rice is weak in the hurdies. McGee
has met the Longhoms in the barrier
race before the Owls. Hinckley will
also be in the hurdle races.
Stancliff is counted on showing up
the Texas weight men in the shot-put
and the discus. Stancliff is headed
for two piaces in conference meet. He
has pretty form in both the shot-put
and discus throw. Not once while in
action did he seem to over exert him-
self. He increases his distance in
both events each day.
Captain Bert Hinckley is getting
errdedaee-itestinD the time for them
himself ready for the broad jump.
Every day Hinckley is at work in the
pits. He hit'the 21 footmark against
Bayior, but will undoubtediy jump
farther than that against Texas. Mc-
Gee and Johnson are also entered in
the broad jump.
Stancliff again comes to the front
in the pole vault. He did remarkabiy
well against Baylor. With practice
all this week he is expected to go
over the 11-foot mark.
Thomas and Pollard handled them-
selves well last week in the javelin
throw. Thomas will probably be the
only Owl entrant in this event as Pol-
lard has to stay in Houston with the
baseball team.
Baker surprised everybody last
week in the high jump. This long
lanky "cageon" is entered in the high
jump against Texas. Captain Hinck-
ley will also jump.
