I he Rice Owls won their fifth victory in a row Saturday
by deefating what was considered a fine ball club by the top.
heavy score of 41-6. Texas Tech came to Rice with wins over
three conference teams but the tricky bail-handling, classy run-
ning, and down-field blocking of the Owls blasted their hopes of
dethroning Rice from the top of the Southwest football picture.

The Owl« roll on!
With their latest very decisive
victory over Texsi Tech, the na-
tional rating should have the flock
within the first five top teams of
the nation. This means very little
to the boys because they are think*
ing about winning those ball games
and not how they are rated. With
the ex-navy star Clyde Scott and
Ken Holland leading the Porkers
attack, this bunch will be tough to
beat. The Owls travel to Little
Rock to tangle with Arkansas on
their annual homecoming which
makes another marked advantage
for the Porks. The Owls are still not
in top physical form with Eiken-
burg nursing his bad leg, Hoerster
with a bad charley horse and Walm-
sley still has that shoullder bother-
ing him but in all probability the
boys should take this one in a close
one 14-7.
Just this last Saturday the farm-
ers were plowed under by the Pork-
ers 7-0. That leaves Rice at the
top of the conference list, and let's
bet they will still be there after
this next week-end. This week the
Aggies tangle with the SM.U. Mus-
tangs who last week lost to the
Longhorns 19-8. This is also home-
coming for the Ponies and even be-
hind such passing and running of
Frank Payne, Dick McKissick and
Paul Page, SMU should take the
game by the score of 80*14.
Since Texas has gotten back into
the win column again, they should
remain there when they run into the
Baylor Bears at Waco. The Bears
had an off week last week, but the
Longhorns took the Ponies 19-3.
With the "Golden boys" in top
shape again, T. U. should go over
the bears by at least 21 to 0. The
Bears have won only one game this
year and so should be easy prey
for Texas.
T. C. U. has no scheduled game
this week.
Summing up the predictions they
look like this:
Rice 14, Arkansas 7.
A. & M. 20; S.M.U. 14.
Texas 21; Baylor 0.
The hardwood boys coached by
Joe Davis have 13 lettermen back
this year and are very definitely
going to be in the running. The
Owls can floor a tall team if they
use these boys: Bill Tom 6 ft. 7 in.,
John McDonald 6 ft. 5 in, Hiram j
Walker 6 ft. 3 in, Harmon Walters i
fl ft. 1 in., and Grover Noonan 61
ft. 1 in.

covered a new left-handed passer
hole in the Texas Tech line, Huey

the blocking of co-captuin Humble
