Five of Rice
Stars To Run
In Chicago
Coach Ernie Hjertberg, will take
five of his track men to Chicago to
take part In the National Collegiate
meet, which will be held at Soldiers'
Field on June 16 and 17. The Rice
men will leave in about a week in or-
der to get there in time "for theM eetk
The men who will mak the trip are
J. C. Petty, Jr., sensational sophomore
discus man, who set a new conference
record in the recent conference meet
in Austin; Weldon Hale, holder of the
conference broad jump record; Smokey
Klaerner. who this past season flung
the javelin further than the present
conference record; Carroll Adams, who
very nearly set a new conference rec-
ord in the recent meet; and Ed Hollo-
way, leading sprint man in the confer-
ence for the past three years.
Coach Hjertberg hopes to be able
to keep the men over a few days after
the National Collegiate so that they
may take part in the Amateur"Ath-
leic Union tournament for the national
imateur championship of the United
States on the nights of June 29, 30.
and July 1.
Of the five Rice men to make the
trip, two of them have excellent
chances of copping first places. Hale
is very likely to get a first in the broad
jump and Klaerner has more than an
out.side chance of copping first in the
javelin throw. A1 lof the men are
almost sure to place in the meet, with
Petty likely to finish very near the
top.
Three other conference schools, Abi-
j lone College and three high schools
I,ire also going to send men to Chicago
I to take part in the meet. The Univer-
sity of Texas is sending ^Alexander
Cox, conference record holder quarter-
miler; Blakeney, conference record
I holding two-miler; and Ed Meyer,

H. E. McGEE
New York.—(IP),—The home-town
! pastor and the parents are blamed
j for the drift away from the church by
| the modern college student, in an ar-
ticle written by a college student for
the current issue of the American
Lutheran.
The writer* says, in part:
"My observation is that far* too
many (college students) who come
home with an honest desire to have a
perplexing question answered meet a
closed door.
"The family, perhaps in their anxi-
ety that the teaching instilled early is
about to be last, mistakes question
for expressions of doubt, and, instead
of trying to give a direct answer ffin a
spirit of loving understanding^ up-
braids the youth for early disloyalty
and unfaithfulness to his early train-
ing and confession, closing the door
then and there to that question and
many others that may come up later.
"Only too frequently the same prob-
lem confronts him in his relations
with the clergy and the day school
teachers.
"Because he can't offer a catalogued
answer to all questions life presents
to him at his age, he loses their con-
fidence or is even viewed with dis-
trust. * V
"He dare not grow, for the very
ones who insist that he should, do so
fail to see that finding the right
answer to his questions is one means
of growth."
German art in the next decade will
be heroic, steely, romantic, and de*
void of sentimentality. It will be
dynamic with great pathos. — fir.

Coach
a
. <
At least one Rice senior is sure of
staving" off the depression for a while.
Tom Driscoll, above, is the new i«33-
34 athletic director of Bay City high.
Driscoll captained the football eleven
last fall and was a sprinter on the
track squad.
Driscoll Is
New Coach
At Bay City
Tom Driscoll, Rice's first string full-
back last season, has been appointed
head football coach and director ofiath-
letics at the Bay City High school and
.will take over his duties with that in-
stitution with 'he opening of school
nex season.
The popular Rice captain of the foot-
ball team last season was selected for
the position over about 18 other appli-
cants and is expected to make the
school a good coach. He has had a
thorough trainingj in almost every line
of sports activity' and has been out-
standing in every sport he participated
in both here and at San Jacinto high
school. ,
As a fullback on Coach Meagher's
Owl football tpar.i he has been the
oustanding performer. This lost sea-
son he received1) several mentions for a
berth on the all-conference team, and
had Rice finishes higher in the race ho
would In all likelihood have'been se-
lected.
In track he hat been a consistent
performer as a dr.sh man, though he
has turned in his best performance as
a member of the 440-yard relay team.
The Ricc dash relny team of which ho
has been a member during the past
three years now holds the conference
record for the best time in this event.
While a student at San Jacinto high
school, which he attended before en-
tering Rice, he was a member of the
Bear basketball squ;id which went to
the state finals in the interscholastic
competition at Austin in 1929, and he
was placed on several of the all-state
teams.
At Bay City,' Driscoll will have
charge of instruction of classes in
physical education, a job for which he
has been well prepared by four years
in Rice's physical uducation school. He
receives- his bachelor of science in
physical education during the com-
mencement exercises today.
The Bay City athletic plant is con-
sidered one of the best equipped high
school systems in this part of the state
and fans in that part of the state are
daily becoming more sport-minded.
The Bay City football team is en-
tered in the Class B interscholastic
competition, but the other sports at the
school are on a par with the others in
the state.

to
Lead Team
Jimmy Kitts' cagers will be led by a
junior basketeer next season as the
result of the selection of Harry Jour
neay as captain of the 1933-34 team.
Journeay was singularly honored by
his mates when they elected him their
leader since it has been customary at
Rice to elect only athletes who will
complete their eligibility during the
year in which they hold the captaincy
of the squad.
Journeay, though a sophomore, has
been the mainspring of the Owl eager
attack during the year, just past. He
has always taken his basketball seri-
ously and is sure to take his new re-
sponsibility even more seriously, if that
is possible.
He is undoubtedly the best liked man
on the squad, and for this reason, if
for no other, Coach KittS; expects him
to make a good learer. Throughout
his entire first year as a varsity eager
on the Rice squad, he was never once
known to hold back, fighting gamely,
fairly and for all his worth whether his
team was winning or going down to
hopeless defeat.
Prospects are that the Owls will have
one of the best cage squads in the con-
ference next year. Kitts will have the
best prospects to mold a team irom
that any Rice coach in the past has
ever been able to boast, and with Jour-
neay at the helm they will shoot the
works for the conference next year.
Three sophomore cagers, who form-
ed the nucleus of the Owl attack, will
be back again next season with a year's
experience behind them. In Harold
Johnson, Journeay, and Hokey Sni-
der, Kitts will have three of the best
cage prospects in the conference, Floyd
Kelly, brilliant sophomore find, will be
the tallest center in the league next
season.
R. T. Eaton, who as a freshman this
past season showed himself to be one
of the best guards ever to enroll in
Rice Institute, will also be a great help
to the team next season.
Three other sophomores, who will be
ja big help in rounding out Joumeay'B
squad are Johnny Banks, vociferating
forward; Harry Witt, who undoubtedly
was the most improved eager on the
squad at the end of the season; and
Tony Smith, one of the hardest fight-
ers on the freshman team this past
season. All these men ore excellent
cagers and will be a great boon to
the squad next year.
Paineeville, O.—(IP).—The cholotst
nudist bathing spot in the Chagrin
River has gone conventional. For
years the young men of this town
have dived into the refreshing waters
with no suits to hinder their swim-
ming. Unfortunately, however, this
choice swimming -place is just a
stone's throw from the dormitories of
the Andrews School for Girle.
House mothers set up a protest
against the "nudist" bathing parties,
and so th^ town officials had to tell
the youngsters to don suits or keep
out of the river.

Berlin.— (IP). — Law students who
belong to Adolph Hitler's storm troops
are to be given special examinations
when they come to ask /or admission
to the bar. Flunkers can keep on
taking the exams until they pass them.
Non-Hitlerite law students will have
to take the stiffer examinations.
Classes '23 and '28
In Reunion at Rice
The fifth annual reunion of the class
of '28 was held Friday night at Col-
lege Inn in the form of a dinner
dance. Dr. Stockton Axson was the
main speaker of the evening. Music
was furnished by Lee's Owls.
The class of '23 will hold their tenth
redhion at Cohen house to-night.
John S. Hornbuckle, permanent sec-
retary of the class, will be in charge
of the meeting. Definite plans have
not been announced, but it will prob-
ably just be an informal get-together
of the members of the class and their
husbands and wives.
