The Stanford Indians ventured deep info the heart of Texas to meet the Rice Owls in o night gome at Houston. The reception given the Tribe was anything but cordial as they returned home smarting from a 34-7 setback. A pair of senior quarterbacks. King Hill and Frank Ryan, led the Rice attock with a phenomenal passing display. Injuries sent QB Jack Douglas, end Gory yan Colder, and full- back Chuck Shea heading for the sidelines early in the gome, leoving Stanford s offensive definitely lacking. The Indians managed o facesover late in the game with sophomore Sid Garber calling the signals. McMillen skirted end for six points and Bond converted.
