Bitter Texas-Rice Grid Feud Tops
Fighting Words for Fighting Men ^
*■£»
By RICHARD WEST
A football feud which in recent years has become the
bitterest in the Southwest conference is renewed this week
— Texas vs. Rice.
These hell-for-leather Hatfields and McCoys will
meet in a perfect settinR.
Texas scents its first conference championship in
twelve years and regards Rice as its supreme obstacle.
Rice, unmercifully crushed
40-0 last year by the Long-
horns, has done nothing but
plan for this game since the
season started.
The feudin's dates back to a
misty day on Rice Field eight
y< rs ago.

Replaces Deceased
By HUGH FULLERTON. Jr.
NEW YORK, Oct 19—(/Pi—
One of the big questions to he
settled at the A.A C meeting this
winter will be how to create more
track and field competition,
which has been fading out in ath-
letic club circles ever since the
last war . . . The only solution
in sight is an appeal to the dis-
trict associations to help stir
things up and to the clubs to re-
turn to their old status of athlet-
ic clubs instead of being just so-
cial organizations Closing of
the armories hereabouts was a
serious blow to indoor track, but
A.A.U. officials hope to borrow
the colleges' outdoor board tracks
to run a few informal meets . . .
“When I competed — never mind
how many years ago," explains
Secretary Dan Ferris "every reg-
iment ran a couple oi meets and
used athletics to attract recruits."
Today's Guest Star
Flem R. Hall. Fort Worth
(Tex.) Star - Telegram: "The
story behind the decline of foot-
ball at the University of Kansas
appears to trace back to the
president of the school. It seems
he is a Harvard man who wants
to make Kansas the Harvard of
the middle west. As far as
football is concerned he has
succeeded."

Alex Agase came from the bottom of the pile, where most
guards spend their afternoons, to score two touchdowns and give
Illinois a surprising 20-13 victory over Minnesota. Agase who also
wrestles, returned to college this fall at the suggestion of Marine
Corps officers after enlisting in the reserve.
