JL X.-Y. M. H. A.
Tbe Rice Slimes, Tuesday night at
the Y, stamped themselves as strong
contenders for the city championship
In their quest of the City League title.
The Slime beat the strong I. K. X.-
Y. M. H. A. combination by a 22*16
score, and these same I. K. X-
Y. M. H. A. players were city champs
in 1927.
Hess, flashy Rice Frosh forward,
was scoring ace for the first year men
although nosed out by Rubensteln of
the opponents for first place In scor-
ing honors on both teams. Hess sank
6 field attempts.
Don Hastings at the guard post
staved off most of the Borschow-
coached attempts at crip shots and
took the ball from the backboard In
the masterly fashion that made him
an All-state selection while at
Heights.
He was ably assisted by McCarble,
another Heights contribution, who
worked admirably at the other guard
post.
Joe Stoppel, Schpack, and Wolf al-
so made good showings with the
Freshmen. All are capable ball-
handlers and fast on the break.
The Rice team won by this same
flashy Bpeed in advancing the ball
down the floor where they took ad-
vantage o£ most every shot.
Although the I. K. X. combination
had twice the experience of the green
Rice squad, the style of Rice play
was such that they were lost in at-
tempting to stop it. This same team
had not lost a single contest up un-
til this game, and were slated for the
championship of the league for the
second year in succession.

This gang of Rice Institoot hood-
lums which call themselves a basket
hunting squad took a little journey up
state last week end.

And they sure did credit to the In-
stitoot.
Firs, offt it snowed in Austin, so
the Owl squad got a chilly greeting.
Then the Mineral water that Austin
drinks for everyday thirst got in a
couple of good licks. Well, the squad
finally arrived at leaving time.

Taylor is one of the little towns in
route to Waco, and some enterprising
merchant was conducting a huge sale.
To advertise the same, he had placed
a large banner announcing "Steam
Roller Sale Now On."
Donkey Longcope rose to the oc-
casion admirably. 'Who in heck
wants to buy a steam roller?" he
chortles innocently as G a y 1 o r d

splitting a side.

Donald contriubted another immor-
tal quotation while he objected to the
dirt that was his lot during the trip.
"I wouldn't mind if it was clean dirt"
observes the worthy forward, and im-
mediately takes his place beside
Shakespeare in the world of drama.

It is rumored that Koenig had two
fiat tires during the trip. He had the
first one in Austin, but he took her
home. The second one was not so
easily remedied so lie climbed out
and shifted the spare to its place.

Speaking of flat tires, Hank says
that none of them attend Baylor.
Hank ought to know.

any team that does that is good. Hess
at forward made the veteran Ruben-

has had five times as much exper-

The Slime squad has some excel-
lent men in Hess, Schpack,' Stoppel,
Wolf. McCarble, Hastings, and Ban-

speed in the scrimmag sessions and
have copped two games in tbe last
few days in the City League.

The Varsity cagers have a sort of
busy week ahead of them. Baylor
arrives for a tilt on Saturday, the
Owls go to College Station Monday,
and Wednesday thel Texas Longhorns
arrive for a game. Rice should beat
Baylor and possibly Texas here, while
the Aggie affair will be tight.

Ever since this basketball trip,

Sheik Keith may some day make an
excellent basketball tosser. Cecil is
an excellent moundsman on the sand
lot, but he refuses to take the court
seriously. His observations are side-
splitters usually, and are excellent to
the morale of the squad. Even Hank
Grant admits as much. "Yep, the
kid's clever" sayeth the Captain.

Texas University grabbed a ten
point margin of victory over the Rice
basketball team in the first game of
a road trip last week at Austin. The
Saturday night fracas in the Univer-
sity gym was Texas first win and
Rice's third loss.
Rice was sorely hampered by the
loss of Captain Grant who was unable
to play because of an injured side.
Despite this fact, Rice took the lead
at the start and led Texas by four
points before Big 'Un Rose broke
loose with nine points in quick suc-
cession to give the Longhorns a 17
to 12 lead at the half.
Rice came back strong in the sec-
ond half, and ran the score up to
within a point of the Austin team's
total. With two minutes to play, Tex-
as again ran riot to mark up a 37 to
27 victory.
Zuber was the high point man of
the contest with 11 points scored in
four field goals and a trio of free
chances. Rose with 9 and Brock with
were runners up.
Substitutions were frequent on both
teams and practically every man on
tiie Rice squad saw action. Texas al-
so used two full teams during the
contest.

Corvallls, Ore. (By New Student
Service)—University of West Virginia
must share its distinction of having
barred Kirby Page, editor of Ths
World Tomorrow, from its campus,
with Oregon Bute Agricultural Col-
lege. at Corvallls, the "West Point
of the West."
As at West Virginia, the Oregon
disbarment was in the nature of a
whispering campaign. Mr. Pago,
having spoken at the University of
Oregon, journeyed 45 miles to the
neighboring state college and found
that the three meetings at which he
previously had been asked to speak,
had been cancelled.
Students at the college simply were
informed that the talks would not be
made. Action was taken by the con-
vocation committee, of which Col.
George William Moses, head of the
Military department, is an influential
member. Initial action, it Is reported,
came from William J. Kerr, president
of the college. As Mr. Page explained
the action, on the basis of information
given him by sympathizers at the col-
lege :
"Three days ago President Ken-
called up the chairman of the advis-
ory committee in charge of the pro-
gram and referred to my West Vir- w'th time. During the last

The midwinter tennis tourney for
men, delayed for more than a month
by Inclement weather, came to an
end Saturday afternoon four minutes
before the snow began to fall, when
Ted Eglln swept to a straight three
set victory over It. Prude, other final
1st. The score by sets was: 6-1, 6-4,
7-5.
Prude went Into the finals Friday
afternoon by defeating Charles Black
in a well contested four set match.
The Eglln Prude contest was fought
from first to last on the principle of
steady chop, chop, chop. Chop from
the base lines, chop from the mid-
court, slice and smash from the net.
The match went to prove what in-
numerable others have shown, name-
ly that Eglia can't be beaten at his
own game. Eglin's steadiness won
for him the "Rice Y" championship
last spring, it won for him the city
honors later in the summer, and now
lie pulls through to another well earn

The Rice Cagers dropped a furious
pfcme to the Baylor Bears by a 4 point
margin, 35-31, at Waco last Monday
night. The contest was of uncertain
ending until the final whistle blew.
Baylor stepped off with a 6 point
lead, but Rice caged a couple of shots
to sort of even up the count. Morgan
was having difficulty in sinking his
tries, and his hard luck at the hoop
was disheartening. Rice was shoot-
ing longer shots than at any previous
time this season.
Baylor led at the half by a 22 to 15
margin, due mostly to the brilliant
work of Captain Strickland, and the
close guarding of Barksdale.
Rice shaved this lead to a one-point
margin with but a minute or two to
go. The score at this point was 29-28,
but Baylor sanjc, several shots to in-
crease the lead to the 35 to 31 mar-
gin of victory.
Captain Strickland of Baylor led
the point hunters with a total of 15
to his credit, while Morgan and Slade
split second honors with 10 each.
Grant and Zuber at the guards were
good,.but Loncope and Ketjdricks
were plainly off in their shooting
game.

Montreal, P. Q. Can. (By New

from eighteen Canadian Universities
gathered at Toronto during the Christ-
mas holidays for the first conference
of the National Federation of Cana-
dian University Students. The new
organization passed on numerous
projects, from selection of a debate
team to represent the union in Inter-
national contests, to steps toward
obtaining for the students of Canada
reduced fares from railroads. A pro-
posal for exchange scholarships be-
tween the institutions in the federa-
