SOME MEMBERS of the Indoor Varsity team pause for a picture in the warmup room of the 168th St. Armory. They are, in the usual order: Quill, Murphy, Lattimore, Brown, Scott, lannuuo, Gaston, Madigan, Senior, O'Brien. This was at the CHSAA Relays in December. wELL-MuscLEo JUNIOR Pete Danois manages to recover a loose-ball during the first half of a terrific game with LaSalle. Pete saw action in every game as did most of the others on the small, ten man team. x lor physical stri-ngllt and i'nilui'alii:n Rice enioyed a good, average year in sports. Although frustrated by almost insurmountable odds against schools which enjoy larger enrollments and more adequate facilities, the fighting Irish played and fought hard in every sport. For them, the im- portant thing was to take part-an adage often snickered at today, but really lived by and believed in at Rice. ln the following pages, pictures and copy will tell of the victories and defeats of the Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshmen and Intramural Basketball, the Cross-Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track, the Fresh- men and Varsity Swimming and the Handball teams. lt is the story of a well-organized athletic program in which the maiority of the students take part.

FRESHMAN EDWARD DUFFY, below, goes through a stack of returned books and replaces the borrower's card in the flap of each book. Teachers mode certain that the library was in constant use.

SENIOR NEIL O'NEIL has eyes aimed at the basket as he sweeps past two St. Simon Stock defenders during a game in which Rice took an early lead and kept it all the way. Rice could hold their own with schools like these but the titans of Hayes, Manhattan and All Hallows proved too much.
