OWL FOOTBALL STABS EXPECT HABD BATTLE SATUBDAY
Regardless of what others may think
of the Rice-Sam Houston Teachers'
game Saturday, Coach Jack Meagher
et. al. are not underestimating the
Bearkats' chances of taking the con-
test. According to dope, the Teachers
are somewhat weaker this year than
last, which remains to be seen, and the
Owls are unquestionably stronger.
However, the Rice mentor is permit-
ting nothing to prevent him from get-
ting his men in' the best possible con-
dition for the fray.
The Huntsville eleven makes the
Rice contest their big game of the year,
and Coaches Jones and Crawford
would give their eyeteeth to knock
over the Owls tomorrow. Add to this
the fact that the Kats will have back
nineteen of the men who gave the Owls
the scare of their respective and col-
lective lives in that 13-12 victory the
local eleven was barely able to eke out
over them last year, and you should be
able to understand Coach Meagher's
precautions.
Secret practices have been the vogue
in the Rice camp since Monday. Free
from prying eyes. Coach Meagher's
charges have mastered eight new plays
to spring on the Teachers. The Rice
mentor has also taken this opportunity
to straighten up his offense and de-
fense and to put his men through regu- I
lar and dummy scrimmages. Nothing
new was taught the men Thursday, the
coach being content to have them
brush up on their defense a little more.
An easy workout is promised the men
today, and they will be given an op-
portunity to rest up a little before the
game. j
Several new men have been showing :
up well of late. Herman Wagner, big |
tackle from the North Sidf* has been j
having a big time. Clem Stonecipher, j
end. has been showing up well in prac-
tice, and Percy Arthur has been do-
ing exceptional work at the center po-
sition. Scott has been doing good work
at right half, and Clore has continued
good work at-the quarter's past.

Owls S in ash
Javelinas 37-0
Any doubt lurking in the minds of
other conference contenders concerning
the intention of the Owls to tuck the
flag under their wing this year should
have been completely dispelled by the
display of power and speed unleashed
before some 5000 spectators by Coach
Jack Meagher's charges in their smash-
ing l!7-0 victory Over an ambitious
Javelina machine Saturday. It was the
businesslike way in.which the Rice
boys went about the matter of making
touchd> wns that impressed those pres-
ent for 'he fracas.
There wore no really outstanding
stars, the entire squad showing to ad-
vantage. Of course, play in every de-
partment has not reached perfection;
there are still a few rot^h .spyts, but
fans can rest assured that Coach
Meagher and his assistants will iron
out these few remaining wrinkles be-
fore the conference scramble begins.
These men will be prominent in the
Sam Houston game tomorrow. Left to
right, Odis Harris and Ed Hander, no-
table pivot men of the Owls. Below,
Jap Thrasher, backfield ace, and Lou
Hassell, tackle of power.

Privates ol the army headed by
Commander - in - Chief Jack Meagher
have beer, employed at various tasks
during the summer. Some of them,
due to bad business conditions, have
been unable to, find employment, and
so have spent their time picking
daisies.
Rest cures have put many pounds on
the hefty gridiron warriors, who are
now putting on war paint and beat-
ing tom-toms in preparation for the
scalping of a large percentage of Rice's
foes this fall.
Seaman ("Simon") Squyres has been
pastiming in Cleburne, without a regu-
lar job.
Loe ("Sheriff") Hammett did not
work as an officer of the law at Rangsr
this summer, but worked in the oil
fields.
I Pat Wallace passed away the sum-
| mcr in Gilmer.
Herman Conklin found even less
i work in Amarillo than Squyres foi^jd
I in Cleburne.
! Bert Mueller, according to reports,
ventured to New Mexico.
Joe Neveux, and Milton Bohannon
i served as councillors in Adirondack
i boys' camps in New York state.
Dewitt Knight, promising sophomore
I end, worked during the summer in
Port Arthur, his home town.
Owl stars remaining in Houston for
rest purposes were: J. D. Thrasher,
Clem Stonecipher, Gene Chambers,
Percy Arthur.
Jack Frye has been in Houston—part
of the time at least—and is in the pro-
verbial pink of condition.
Dick Jamerson was camp councillor
and instructor in horseback riding at
Camp Lincoln, Keeseville, New York.
Lou Hnssell worked this summer on
a Connecticut dairy farm. From Brook-
lyn to Houston he worked his way
on a Texas company oil tanker.
Jimmy ("Father") Younts was in a
boys' camp at Denmark, Maine.
Fencing will again be listed among
intramural sports this year, according
to Gilbert Hcrmance.
A flpor suitable for fencing has been
set aside in the north wing of the feld
house, and equipment is available at
the stofk room to all those interested
in the sport. It is expected that mem-
bers of last year's fencing squad will
start to avail themselves of this op-
portunity immediately.
A beginners' class in fencing for
freshmen and a few upperclassmen will
be organized in the near future. A
definite announcement to this effect
should be forthcoming from the Physi-
cal Education department shortly.
Experienced fencers retufrning from
last years' squad are: Erland Koehler,
James Thomas, Kelley Wynne, Lenoir,
Jauckens, and Harry Vinock. A val-
uable man was lost in Pablo Gonzales
Jr., last year's fencing champion, who
is ri'ot returning this year
Slime Eleven
Of This Fall
Shows Promise
1
Another crop of freshman athletes
that would brighten the faoes of any
coaching staff in the Southwest, greet-
ed Freshman Coaches Marvin Durren-
berger and Billy Morgan in the initial
workout Tuesday afternoon. Some
fifty-odd gridaters reported and from
this group of beef, brawn and brains
Rice is sure to get at least eight or ten

slimes reporting and likely stars on the
Green Owl eleven this year are "Ox"
Hinman, husky tackle from Terrell
Prep at Dallas; John McCauley, star

lege; William Wallace, the pride of
Eagle Lake, another crafty backfield
performer; J. C. Petty Jr., 240-pound
linesman from Kaufman; and Bill Sad-
ler, first ra'te end from Mart.
Among Houston's contribution to the
first year lineup will be four men
whom southwest athletes will have to
watch for the next four years. These
are: "Bobo" McKnight, all-city back
of last year with Sam Houston; Albert
"Doc" Metzler, football and basketball
star of John Reagan; Richard Moers,
scrapping linesman from San Jacinto;
and Sam Lefkowitz, husky end and
j basketball guard from Jefferson Davis.

None of Rice's intersectional games
have been signed up for years ahead,
according to Gaylord Johnson, business

Johnson Thursday mo-ning stated
that all of dice's conference games ex-
cept the annual tilt with S. M. U have
been arranged for some years to come.

football program in 1932.
