An unfortunate error by the Rice second baseman in the first
inning probably cost the Owls the game with the Texas Aggies,
played here last Friday afternoon. The Farmers, playing air-
tight ball behind Hillin, their act moundsman, shut out the Blue
and Grey ball tossers and won the contest 4 to 0. It was Rice's
fifth conference loss. The Owls have two conference victories
to their credit.
George Wood, pitching for Rice, was himself in rare form,
and twirled an exceptional game. He allowed but five hits, and,
with the exception of the first inning, held the Aggies well in
check. Two of the five hits registered off him were of the three-
base variety. The Owl hurler fanned four and passed two.
Hillin pitched bia best game of the ped safe, Tucker reaching third. He
season when he allowed but two sin-
gles. He worked with smooth precis-
ion throughout, and was never in
danger. Only one Rice player reached
third during the course of the encoun-
ter. Hillin, as Wood, fanned fouv and
walked two.
Both clubs fielded the ball in great
style, and played the game in the re-
markably fast time of one hour and
thirty minutes.
Batting honors of the day went to
Broiles and Tucker, each banging out
triples, both of which were instru-
mental in the scoring. In the field
the individual play of Scliow in left
field was sensational, this fleet Aggie
catching three outfield liners that
were labeled three bases.
The Aggies counted thrice in the
opening frame. After Tucker had
gone out, pitcher to first, Blount
walked. Schow hit to short, and with
a double killing in sight, Barnes drop-
ped Da Camara's throw, and both men
were safe. Broiles then hit a three-
bagger over Borschow's head in left,
Blount and Schow crossing the plate.
Punk Baker sent Broiles home with a
short Texas leaguer over second. Kyle
and Sikes were retired on flies to end
the frame.
In the fifth the Aggies scored their
final run. Tucker, first up, smashed
a long fly to right center, and, when
Rogers and Bloxsom were undecidcd
just who was to grab the ball, it drop-

relaying the ball from the outfield,
threw wild to Tolle at third.
Rice defeated Southern Methodist
University last Tuesday, downing the
visitors by a score of 12 to 8 in the
final game of the home season. Bob
Abies was relieved on the mound by
Grandpa Wood in the sixth inning,
and the Mustangs also had to change
pitchers. Hits were numerous on both
sides.
Bishop, Pennington and Harris led

has had one of 157 feet 10 inches,
which is less than a foot shy of the
world record mark of 168 feet 8 inch-

fornia earlier in the season. Stancliff,
the present conference record holder,
is back in the running, though after a
year's absence and bids fair to give
Big Jack of Baylor a go for it. Gooch

pear to be the two next best men in
the conference.

Both Smith of Texas and Shepherd

record in the broad jump this year,

as each of them having gone over
88 feet Smith has the better of the
argument, however, so far with a
jump 28 feet 3 inches. Morrison of
S. M. U. has done better than 22 feet
several times this season, and togeth-
er with Smiley of Rice, Stancliff of
Rice and other good jumpers may
make the Texas pair get up and work.
Javelin.
Dieterich of Texas A. & M. is by
far the best javelin artist in the con-
ference. He is capable of doing well
over 190 feet and will probably set
a new record this year to displace that
of his brother made a few years ago.
With the exception of possibly Por-
ter of Baylor, no other javelin throw-
er in the state can come within 80
feet of him. Goodrich of Siee, Walker
of Baylor, Cortemeglia of S. M. U.
and Reynolds and Wright of Texas,
will all battle it out for second, third
and fourth places.
Hie" Relay.
The relay seems to be safely tied
up by Texas A. & M., but this bids to
be the sajne exciting race as in years
past with Texas, Rice and S. M. U. all
having a good foursome.
