EX L113R15 THE CAMPANILE THE CAMPANILE PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE WILLIAM MARSH RICE INSTITUTE VOLUME I 1916 BEING THE FIRST CLASS OF THE RICE INSTITUTE - ld TTN the name of the Class of 1916, we, J I, the Editors, ofter this book, both as a farewell to our old life, and as a greetin.a: to those who are to take it up. P ' or us this means essentially a parting, a farewell to those scenes and activities, which ha ' e claimed us for four years past, and it has been our strong desire to perpetuate in worthy form the memories of those college da} ' s. But ours is both the privilege and the burden of pioneering, and added to the distinction of presenting the first student chronicle of Rice ' s progress, wc ha e had the difficulties resulting from a small student boci ' and from slencfer resources. Thus, though, the book could not be as complete as we had wished, we have trieci to choose the best and the most typical for our record. Way those succeeding ours be ever fuller and more orth WILLIAM MARSH RICE V { abidine faith in his plans and in the future of our university; W ith profound respect for him and his achievements, and with deep appreciation of the good that he has eione; ' e, the first trroup of Sen- iors at the Rice Institute, now dedicate this consumma- tion of our efforts to the man whose keen insight into the needs of the } ' outh of Texas, and whose ready generosity has Ujade possible the build- ing of this Institute : WILLIAM MARSH RICE THE FOUNDER EDGAR ODELL LOVETT TIE MCE MSf Ef Of E EDGAR ODELL LOXI ' ITF : PRESIDENT TIE E©A1P @F TliSf EES James Addisox Baker : Chairman James Everett McAshan : ici:-Ciiairman Benjamin Botts Rice : Secretary-Tri aslrer ' ILLIA I Marsh Rice, Jr. Cesar Mairice Lombardi Edgar Odell Lonett John Tuaddeus Scott n TIHUE FACULTY Philip Hechman Arbuckle, B.A. (Chicago), of Georgetown, Texas; Director of Athletics in Southwestern University; Instructor in Ph -sical Education and Director of Athletics.

The red autumnal sunrise sends a glow of life to plain and town, Its crimson color warmly blends with mingled tints of green and brown, Where near some bayou cluster groves of trees hung grey with Spanish lace; It drives the misty fog that roves through every dim and dusky place Where night has lingered long. The sun s light burnishes with gold a giant pine tree s topmost bough, And filters down among the old and knotted oak trees grouped below; Turns prairie grasses, through its smiles, to waves of glist ning amber seas, Falls gleaming on the stately piles of buildings red- roofed through the trees, Where here the dawn is blazoning the birth-hour of another day, And herald birds arise to sing its birth-song in a roundelay. Here too upon the plain is born the Spirit of these silent halls; And on this dedication morn the Sun upon the outer walls Means Life, and Strength, and Hope within. —Elizabcih Kalb, ' 16. 1 • m Mi ©FFHCML E]MA0(e01AL MCE HMSf HTUTE mm -.. ' M Aa E ' t ' an auspicious and impressive beginning may be regarded as a bright and shining omen for the later development of a universit} ' , then, from the fact of its opening ceremonies alone, Rice should reckon itself one of the most fortunate of colleges, peculiarly jM , ■ blessed ith tiie promise of a ros} ' futtirc. Jl ;:■ ' U For its size and youth, Rice made, on the occasion of its official inaugural, quite a re- spectable-sized splash in the educational ocean, and few colleges can boast of an opening week more chuck-full of magnificence, impos- ing presences, foreign languages, heart-throbs, and thrills. From October 10 to 13 inclusive there were gathered together in I ' louston as guests of the newly-born institution, distinguished representatives from over 175 institutions of learning, foreign and domestic, and those four days were crowded with festivities and portentous events which, in their totality, formed a spectacle of bewildering brilliance be- fore the eyes of Houston, of Texas, the South and the Nation, .s a newspaper report of that date puts it, Truly, as emphasized by the prominence of the men attendant upon them, these inaugural ceremonies usher in a season epochal in our history. At such a time those relatively unimportant adjuncts of a univcrsit}-, its students, were necessarily forgotten, relegated to some out-of-the-wa}- corner, or lost in the throng which flocked to the Institute for a glimpse of the notables from abroad, so that, at best, those students have but a hazy and disconnected impression of that inaugural week. That week, though so important a part of the Institute ' s beginning, belonged rather to the chief dignitaries and the people of Houston, and this volume, which is purely a stu- dent ' s record and reminiscence, can of necessity contain no very detailed account of it. For the students themselves it is the week beginning with September 23 which marked the real opening, giving them to the Rice Institute and it to them; which made the deepest impression and remains as a lasting memory. Some of them, however, perched in the little side balconv of the Facult ' Chamber, managed to assimilate occasional stray bits nMAHJilUMAL LECTO r Professor Hugo ue Vries, of Amsterdam, Holland The ideals of a naturalist.

This week of Academic Festival, — or feast of language, as it might be called, — culminated in the final dedicatory rites of Saturday morning, October 12, — one of the most picturesque and striking pages in the Institute ' s history, and one which really deserves its place there and in our memory. Those students who were present on the campus that morning are probably carrying about with them yet, tucked away in closed drawers of their minds, little photographic images of scenes and incidents of the day; — people stream- ing in through the gates or along the newly-grav- elled walks between rows of new and rather shaky- looking shrubs; the brilliant sun upon the still half-unfamiliar faces of the buildings; small groups of students hanging over the balconies of library J and dormitory windows; a member of the faculty, 4111 ! ' 4M«l«t Iff f ' ' ■ ' -- Z.- immaculate, with portfolio and walking-stick, hastih ' conferring; with the manager of ceremonies by the office door; Professor Raphael Altamira y Crevea of Madrid, in his academic robes and bobbing fringed headdress of brilliant red and yellow; a glimpse of the procession, long gowns blowing wide in the sweep of wind across the campus; Pro- fessor Hugo de Vries of Holland, seated, his grey bared head in relief from the dull gleam of purple velvet and cut out sharply against the dark oak panelling of the platform. The Academic Procession, which preceded the exercises, formed in the cloisters of the men ' s dormitory and, preceded by music, slowh ' crossed the campus to Aciministration Court. In this line of black-robed men were members of the facult}- and of the trustees, visiting representatives from colleges all over the country, and men from abroad who occupy some of the very highest places in the world ' s scientific empire today. These took their places on or before the platform which had been erected on the right-hand side of the west entrance to the salh ' port, and the formal dedication of the institute began. I in IE Chief among the exercises that followed were the dedicatory ode read b}- Henr} ' Van Dyke, and addresses by Chief Justice Brown of Texas, the Bishop of Tennessee, and Dr. Lovett. With head bared in the sun he told us again the story of the Institute ' s found- ing, and of William Marsh Rice, — the man of millions and the man in a million, — told how for this fair day we have worked and prayed and waited, and how he could visualize in these towers of the Texas prairie, the Parthenon of the Attic plain; reminded us that, in the spiritual life of the Institute now beginning, there were to be just three things, — and the first of these is — Scholarship, and the second of these is — Scholarship, and the third is — Scholarship; and ended by repeating again the Scriptural passage — Wis- dom hath builded her house — etc. With this, and fitting spiritual music, the inaugural ceremonies of the Rice Institute came to an end. But the impression must not be left that the entire festival was austcreh- academic in its nature. Within those few days there had been compressed so man} ' sevL rely tax- ing social events that, it is rumored, a number of the guests were seriously incapacitated toward the close. On both Thursday and Friday mornings they were most sumptuously breakfasted at the Bender Hotel, — along with the usual oratorical accessories. The} ' were tendered elaborate luncheons by the Mayor and Commissioners at the Municipal Banquet Hall, by Trustee J. S. Rice at the Thalian Club, and by the Institute at the Commons, — all, however, and fortunately so, on successive days. There were afternoon garden parties and receptions, — three of them, — at the Institute, on the lawn of the E. B. Parker home, and at the Countr)- Club. There were concerts by the famous Kneisel Quartette of New York, — an afternoon concert at the Majestic and an evening concert in the Faculty Chamber, the former being open to students; — and a magnificent evening reception at the home of James A. Baker, President of the Board of Trustees, in honor of the distin- guished visitors. The culmination of the whole series of social affairs was the elaborately planned trip to Galveston. After Dr. and Mrs. Lovett ' s reception at the Country Club on Saturday afternoon, a special train conveyed the Institute ' s guests, or those of them who were able to attend, to Galveston, where the much-famed shore-supper took place on the terraces of the Hotel Galvez. The party returned to Houston Sunday in time for the final formal gathering, namely the religious services held at the City Auditorium and conducted bv the celebrated Dr. Charles F. Aked of San Francisco. So ends the meager chronicle of a short, but socially and culturally resplendent era in the early history of the Rice Institute. s ? r -- ■VMMimaMMWBIV To learn to win renown, To stand the first in worth as in command, To add new honours to my native land; Before my e} ' es my mighty sires to place.

NoRDHOLZ Eggers ©HJM ma: PERHAPS, after progressing thus far in this worthy compilation, some of you are still tormented by a haunting sense of whyness relative to the choice of our name. In fact, it has already been our privilege to receive several polite, and doubtless well-motivated inquiries concerning the same, accompanied by divers and sundry interesting comments, such as: Campanile? here did it happen? and hy let it live? and so on. Now it is our purpose here to give the benighted and the un- initiated the privilege of a glimpse into the complex and mysterious workings of the Editorial Alind as it concerned itself with the nerve- racking problem of choosing this name, and to disseminate ever} ' - where the implicit conviction that our choice was a wise and worth} ' one. Ever} ' one will concede that towering above ever} ' other feature of this Institute ' s existence is its sublime architecture; ever} ' one will concede this whether he is able to appreciate it or not, for he has it on the highest authorit} ' . And granting this, no one will doubt that the most towering and sublimest feature of the same architecture is that ethereal smoke-stack which a sadh ' utilitarian age has draped in the classic habiliments of a graceful and } ' et chasteh modeled Romanescjue Belfr} . This is the Campanile. Campanile! Linger on its accents! All other considerations aside, would not the sheer music of it justif} ' its choice — the haunt- ing melod} ' of its syllabification? And this we have fitting!} ' chosen as the s} ' mbol of our strivings, as the S} ' mbol of the spirit embodied in this Volume: — dominance, high aspirations clothed in cxcjuisite art and beaut} ' of design and execution. Could there be a nobler icieal than the heights of the slender Campanile? All posterit} ' should be grateful to us for the heritage of this name; we feel that we are dowering the long line of our successors with a wealth of beaut ' and noble ideals. j i« riTrr iii i [r r L)i Is n ■; r i sLz : £Lt =:7 tS dJi i T?

FARR THE football team of 1912 was the first team to represent Rice In- stitute in athletics. The problem Coach Arbuckle faced was hardh a pleasant one for any coach. The entire male student body had not as many members as the football squad with which he had worked at Southwestern. The lack of numbers was made up for by the determination and wil- lingness of the men, for practically all of them came out at the beginning of the season. Of course quite a number soon dropped out, and the re- mainder of the season regular scrimmage was impossible. In addition, most of the squad had had little or no football experience, and had to be taught the fundamentals of the game. Under these conditions. Coach Arbuckle did not arrange a strong schedule, preferring to let the number and strength of the teams to be played increase in proportion to the stead} ' development of the Institute athletics. However, several good prep school games, and two college games were contracted for, in order to give an idea of the abilit} ' of the team. Although defeated in the collegiate contests, the Gre} ' S, as they were then called, were victors in the prep school games, and gave promise of entering the class of good colleges in the following season.

CUMMIN ' GS, GARNETT (CAPTAIX), HARRIS, BETTS BOTTOM; HARLESS, GOODWIN fHE baseball nine of 1913 was the first team to represent the Institute in this branch of sport. The prospects for a good team were some- what bad, due to the failure of some of the best men to pass their examinations. Lack of material was as big a handicap as it had been to the football team the preceding autumn. However, Coach Arbuckle knew the start must be made sometime, and the sooner the better. The few inexperienced men at Rice could hardly begin on even terms with the veterans of other colleges. Con- sequently, no collegiate games were played, but a good schedule of ama- teur teams was secured in which the team acquitted itself well. The work of the first year was necessarily devoted to the beginning of a definite working system under which the teams were to play, and also to the development and seasoning of the individual players. In this respect the season accomplished a great deal, as the improvement in the last games of the year showed. Some good batterj and infield men were brought out, and in addition the work of the team as a whole gave promise of collegiate caliber for the succeeding seasons. •Rice 8 — Southern Pacific 12.

Coach Arbuckle had to develop J = practically a new team. About half of the Freshman eleven of the previous } ' ear had not returned to school. Of the backiield, only one man had returned, thus necessitating the formation of an entirely new combination. However, Coach Arbuckle was fortunate in having some good new material, and some of the old men developed into stars in their second year of college football. With the mixture of green and experienced material a light but fast team was formed, which went through an undefeated season, scoring 81 points to its opponents ' 14. Even if the eleven had not won all its games, it would have been termed successful, for this year witnessed the development of the nucleus around which succeeding teams were built. A good line was built up by Coach Arbuckle, and with this a light, but wonderful!} ' fast, backfield. On its season ' s record, the two years ' eleven was awarded a tie for third place in the T. I. A. A. ranking, being placed behind veteran teams of Texas and A. : M. This shows a remarkable development in the short space of a year, with the promise of even greater honors in the following seasons. Rice 14 — Army Team 0. Rice 7 — Houston High 0.

Vet) ' little was expectcci of the team as in their very nature, track and field work require long training b} ' the individual men, before they can be successful in this sport. , . There were athletes at Rice from various high schools, and Coach Arbuckle thought these sufficient to furnish at least a beginning for the sport at the Institute. Only about a dozen men reported for regular work, but some of these were good men, and a schedule of meets w as arranged; the Dallas Corn Exposition Meet, a dual meet with Baylor at Houston, and the regular T. I. A. A. Meet at Waco. In the dual meet with Baylor, the men made some good records, and won an overwhelming victory b} ' the score of 84 to 38. The season ' s record was a great encouragement to coach and students alike, as it showed the presence of some good track material in school.

At the beginning of the season. Coach Arbuckle secured Mr. Con Lucid as assistant coach, and the work of these two men was largely responsible for the creditable showing made. A good collegiate schedule was arranged with some of the best teams in the Southwest. Playing eleven games on the home diamond, the team won eight, tied one, and lost two, both by one run. The Houston Buf- faloes, champions of the Texas League, were taken into camp early in the season. On the North Texas trip, the team struck cold weather, and completely lost its stride. Lhider these adverse conditions, the men fought hard, — but lost all the games played away from home. However, the men proved their spirit was not broken by coming home and winning five out of the six remaining games. From the point of view both of games won, and the class of ball played, the season was a success, and, with practically a veteran team, indications for another successful year in 1915 were very bright.

Not once during the whole season was the team free of a lengthy hospital list, and several games were played with the entire backfield on the sidelines. This necessitateci the development of many new men, and kept a team of championship caliber from reaching its real stride. Fortunately there was some good material from the freshman class, and with the addition of these men, the season was successful in spite of its difficulties. The team, light but fast, fought its way through a heavy schedule of collegiate games, and was defeated only by the strong teams of Texas University and A. M. In both of these games, the first half was fought on even terms with much heavier and more experienced players, and the team succumbed to these players only after putting up a great fight, which called forth the admiration of its opponents. On its season ' s record the eleven easih- won third place in the T. I. A. A. ranking. This marked the third season of preparation and with hopes of a practically veteran lineup returning to school, prospects for a good bid for championship honors in 1915 were exceedingly bright.

TOMFOHRDE BASKETBALL was the last of the sports to be ofliciaUy adopted at the Institute, and it was not until 1915 that a team was put into the field. This branch of athletics was put under the supervision of Assistant Coach Cummings, who took in hand the task of building up a team of new men, to compete with the veterans of the other Texas universities. A fairly good schedule was arranged, as giving a good test of basket- ball material in the school. With a squad of about twelve men Coach Cummings went to work and built up a combination which at once took its place beside older teams of the Rice Institute in advancing the glory of the school. Of the nine games of the season, eight were won by large scores, this giving the school the undisputed ranking of second in the T. I. A. A. Considering that this was the first year of basketball at Rice, and the first experience in collegiate competition for coach and players, the reco rd of the team was remarkable. With practically a veteran team returning for the 1916 season pros- pects for the state championship in this sport were very promising. Rice 64— Galveston Y. M. C. A. 16. Rice 64 — Houston High 9.

STEVENS, CLYCE ilHllllllii m CAPTAIN STANDISH : This was Slough ' s fourth -ear on the team and he had this honor all to himself. Throughout the entire four j ' ears he has held the position of tackle. He was rather light as linemen go, weigh- ing only about a hundred and sixty-five, but he made up for this by us- ing his head — and other things, principally hands, elbows, and knees. Slough ' s versatile attack will be greatly missed and his place on the team will be hard to fill. n ' Hillillll BROWN: A. M. was not the only school to have its Wild Irishman and Rice men will swear by their own. When the two met on November 8, 1915, there was no question as to who was the better. Brown came into his own this year and on offense and defense alike played the best game of his career. He led the team in scoring with his wonderful end runs and in addition was a sure man on defense. Mick is captain for 1916. n KALB: The Rice team had the distinction this year of not looking like a football team. The men were light and hardly appeared like a college football machine. To Tiny belongs the honor of being the big man of the team. But his weight was not only for appearance. He used it to such good effect that he was picked by several men for all-state tackle, even though he was called upon to play oflFensive center. FULWILER: Pig came to us from Abilene, where lie had played for several years. He had played fullback but his fighting was needed on the line. He has now played three } ' ears at guard and is one of the brightest spots in our line. He weighs only about a hundred and sixty pounds but his opponents will admit that he was the toughest hundred and sixty pounds in Texas football. We will probably have him back again for another vear. n FENDLEY: Fendley was one of the three-year veterans of the team. He only weighed a hundred and sixty pounds but this merely surprised the opposing linemen so much the more when he hit them. Against L. S. U. ' s hundred-and-ninety-pound line his bucks gained as much as half- back end runs, often going for fifteen and twenty yards. Fendley ' s specialty was being knocked crazy in a game. However, he never had his football sense spilled out of him and the rest didn ' t matter. n CLYCE: Pep didn ' t have too much himself but he could get all there was out of his men, and for that reason was picked by some for all-state quarter. He was also a good broken-field runner and pulled out of some tight places with his quarter-back runs. Pep will be missed a great deal next vear. TOAIFOHRDE: After having been kept off the first squad in 1914 by injuries, Tommy reported for practice this season resolved to show that he at least could come back. His return was signalized by the same old fighting spirit. Playing the position of right guard, it usually happened that his hundred and sixt} ' pounds was greatly outweighed. Even then, if his opponents made a gain through him, he took the loss as seriously as the average pla ' er takes the loss of a touchdown. n CLARK: Jeff made good his threat this year and won a regular berth at end. He won his letter in 1914 but this season he developed wonder- fulh and gave opposing half-backs a world of trouble. He was great at receiving forward passes, and at turning plan ' s in and getting the runner. In the A. M. game he put up a remarkable fight and was very effective in breaking up end runs. COAN: Coan was one of the big men on the team, weighing close to a hundred and seventy pounds. He was handicapped this year by being switched from tackle to end to fill the hole caused by the dropping out of the 1914 ends. On defense he backed up the line, where he got probably more tackles than an} other man on the team. This was characteristic of Pop, however; he was a bear for work and the harder he had to work, the better he liked it. STE EXS: Stevens is the ideal player from the point of view both of the feminine spectators and of coaches. He is quiet, modest, and a very hard worker. Let any man play offensive half-liack and defensive end and he has his work cut out for him. Steve would make the opposing end mad b ' circling him for about thirty yards, and then to make it worse would break up the end runs of the enemy. n McFARLAND: McFarland was the lightest man on the line but that didn ' t bother him at all. He was the surest and probably the hardest tackier on the team and was used with Coan to back up the line on de- fense. Opponents were usually glad to see Mac in the game when they first saw his hundred and forty-five poun ds but during the game they wished him an ' wh«rc but at that particular place. n CARTER: Carter was another Houston bo} who found himself this year. He was light for a half-back but could slip through quick-openings that a bigger man wouldn ' t have seen. He could keep his feet well and often surprised a would-be tackier b} ' refusing to be bowled over. He was also a good south-paw punter and should improve still more next year. BEALL: Our fast backfield was the best in Texas football last year and Eric was one of the speed-merchants composing it. He was a wonder at circling ends and everyone remembers his spectacular run in the Trinity game. He tried one end, saw some one coming in and promptly turned around and circled the other for a touchdown. n CARROLL: Carroll was the freshman who helped fill the holes on the ends caused by Journea} ' anci F arr leaving school. But he was a stopper that would fit in more than one hole. Against Texas he played a fine tackle, while he filled in at guard in several games. He was handicapped by two weak knees, and if he can get in shape should prove a find in 1916. n Tn-r, HALTOM: San Antonio put in its bid for fame for the first time this year by having a man on the Rice football team. The big freshman played guard and tackle, and at both positions put up a fine defensive game. He was at his best against Notre Dame, when he seemed abso- lutely undisturbed by the caliber of his opponents. After a little of his calmness wears off he will be a splendid man for the Owls. r a v. iJiSr. GRIPON: Gripon came to us from Beaumont, where he had been a backficld star for several } ' ears. This experience helped him greatly when he was stuck in to become Clyce ' s running mate at quarter. He alwa}-s looked so hurt when a man would call signals on him that he broke the team of that fault. He will be a crack quarter in the three } ' ears he has } ' et to play with us. n MATH IAS: Malhias came from Xorth Fort ' orth, where he played end and full-back for several years. He was Fendley ' s running mate at full-back and often made the running very close for the veteran. His line-plunging and forward passing were very good, especially in the T. C. U. and A. ; M. games. Since Bob could play his best game when tears were rolling down his cheeks, the inference is obvious. With three more years to play, Bob should make a first-class back-field man for Rice. n jiiiilUiu BRICK: Brick came from North Fort ' orth and said he would make a letter if he had to stay here ten years to do it. Just to make it safe he went out and made it this year, playing end and quarter. Several op- ponents spoke of him as that little chubby fellow that the} couldn ' t knock off his feet. He ' ll be lots harder to down next vear. ' MEM ©F f II  M 1 il ■TPN 1915, for the first time in its historj ' , Rice began the season with 11 four classes from which to select the varsity football squad. This advantage was offset, however, by the unexpected loss of six letter- men and the fact that the number of freshman athletes matriculating was disappointin gly small. Under such conditions it was evident from the first that work of the hardest kind, on the part of both coaches and men, would be required to put out a team that would rank with the best in the state. Training camp was opened on the campus September 12th and signal drill was begun early. Adequate scrimmage, however, was prevented bv the extreme heat and the danger of the pla} ' ers going stale in the long schedule ahead. A further hindrance to the early development of the team was caused by a number of old men reporting late, but in spite of obstacles it was in comparativch ' good shape for the opening game. TMHiniTT IDfMHVIi sUTT The first game of the season was played with Trinity University. The starting lineup was composed entirely of veterans, but, our opponents ' weakness offering opportunit} ' for trying out the raw material, substitutes were quickh ' run in. There had been so little scrimmage during training season that this was the first chance the new men had to show what was really in them. They did well on offensive but were unfortunate in not getting any genuine defensive practice. Trinity was absolutely powerless, being unable to make first down during the entire game. At the end of six minutes Brown carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the season, and from then till the close of the game Rice ' s touchdowns came in steady succession. When the final whistle blew the score stood Rice 4-6, Trinity- 0. LUOJiJ Our Trinity walk-over, coupled with Baylor ' s bare 3-0 victory over Howard Pa -ne, inspired Rice with fatal over-confidence. Brown, a vital part of the Institute offensive, was kept out by injuries received in the Trinity game, while Clark, our only experienced defensive end, was taken out with a sprained ankle during the first few minutes of play. Discouraged by the absence of these men, and sure of an easy victory, the team was completely taken by surprise and did not wake to their danger until it was too late. Baylor on the other hand showed excellent team work and had several sensational players, not the least of whom was the stocky whirlwind from the Smoky City; a Godsend to any Texas team. The score was 26-0 in Baylor ' s favor — a defeat that will not be forgotten till a goodly supply of Bear fur has gone to line the Rice Owl ' s nest. (IUH |,„ 4UU iiUi TH 1IIME¥EI1SIITY @F TEXAS The only trip of the season was that made to Austin where Rice met the strong team of the University of Texas. At this time the Owls were in the worst slump of the season and were handicapped b} ' injuries and illness, while the Longhorns were in the best of condition. Texas was an easy victor by a score of 59-0. In spite of their superior weight and experience Texas was played to a standstill in the first and third quarters. Forty-one of their points were made during the second quarter, which was admittedly prolonged to twenty-five minutes by an excited Texas timekeeper. In the meantime three of Rice ' s best men waited on the side lines, unable to get back until the close of the quarter. Profuse apologies followed but did not serve to change the score. PASfHEL liASlEll COLLEGE In the Daniel Baker game the team proved that it was gradually rounding into shape. The back field showed increased speed and ability in broken field running and team work was decidedly better. During the first period Rice opened up with an offensive that was a forerunner of their later playing and swept Daniel Baker oflF their feet. Twenty-one points were scored in this quarter. Daniel Baker fought doggedly dur- ing the remainder of the game, and the Owls, slowed up by the intense heat, did not score until the last quarter when they completed the 28-0 victory with a touchdown and goal. TEXAS CIHIIIESTIIAM UME¥EIlSHT1f T. C. U. came to Houston flushed with pride over their showing against A. Ad. and touted as one of the strongest elevens in the State. Before leaving Fort Worth they prepared a bonfire with which to cele- brate their prospective victory. The victory is still prospective. The game with the Christians was an important one for Rice. In order to have any chance against A. M., it was vitally necessary that the team be developed into a smoothly working machine capable of beating T. C. U. decisively. In the Daniel Baker game the team had shown its possibilities. The succeeding week saw these possibilities realized. From the beginning of the game it was evident that T. C. U. was outclassed in everything save the forward pass. Their forward passing was undoubtedly the most brilliant which Rice encountered during the season. Rice received the kick-off and did not lose possession of the ball until it had been pushed over for a touchdown. A few minutes later Brown intercepted a forward pass and keeping just out of reach of the fastest man the Christians had, ran eighty-five yards for a touchdown. No scoring was done in the second quarter, but in the third Mathias re- turned the kickoff to the seven j ' ard line and the ball was carried over by a series of bucks. In the last quarter Rice completed its two forward passes, each of which netted a touchdown. In this quarter T. C. U. made its only score — a pretty place kick by Nelson from the 22-yard line. Rice 33, T. C. U. 3; the Owls had hit their stride. . fiflwrfi IHrtriT. to m TEXAS A, M. The game with Agricultural Mechanical College was the great game of the season. A victory over A. M. would give Rice ranking as one of the strongest teams in the state, while a defeat would have put an effective damper on any such aspirations. A. : AI. were decided favorites. Out- weighed sixteen pounds to the man, to outsiders Rice seemed to have slight chance against the undefeated team from College Station. Rice received the kickoff and began an irresistible march down the field. In the first seven minutes of pla} ' , without once losing possession of the ball. Rice made a touchdown and kicked goal. A. M., realizing Rice ' s strength, made frantic efforts to retrieve the game but could not accomplish it. During the remainder of the first half Rice was forced to assume the defensive, but the Owl ' s defense proved as strong as their offense and A. AI. was powerless to score. Time after time the Farmers were held for downs and whenever their goal was threatened the Rice line became impregnable. In the third and fourth quarters Rice again took the offensive and consistently outplayed their heavier opponents. The} ' would certainly have repeated their first triumphal march had it not been for penalties totaling 185 yards assessed by an unusually exact- ing official. As it was, neither team scored again and the game ended 7-0 in favor of Rice. It was A. ; M. ' s onh- defeat bv a Texas team. LOOHSHAMA STATE PMH¥E dHT¥ With only thirteen men available. Rice met the Louisiana Tigers who had come to Houston thirt}- strong. L. S. U. was acknowledged to be one of the most formidable machines in the South. Their only defeat had been administered by Georgia Tech, and in no game had they failed to make a touchdown. They outweighed Rice men fifteen pounds to the man and twenty pounds in the line, but after the A. ; AI. game, nothing in the way of weight or prestige could awe the Rice eleven, which in spite of injuries, was at its best. L. S. U. proved a more dangerous opponent than A. AI., having a more versatile attack than the Farmers. The Owl line was equal to the emergency, however, and held better than the Tigers ' , Rice gaining three times as much ground on line plunges as Louisiana. Recognizing that their men were being outpla} ' ed, the Louisiana Coaches kept putting in substitutes, until, before the end of the game, they had played twenty-two men. They were still unable to stop the Rice attack and in the third quarter, after having received the ball on L. S. L . ' s •lO-yard line. Rice carried it over for the onh touchdown of the game. The puntout failed, making it 6-0 — the final score of the game. MOTMIE After such brilliant victories the Notre Dame game came rather as an anticlimax. It was a foregone conclusion that Rice could not defeat Notre Dame, a team known the country over. Had it not been for the fact that the team was in miserable condition due to injuries and illness it is equally certain that the score would never have been so one-sided. In the first half Rice held them 14-2 having scored a safety when a bad pass from the Notre Dame center rolled across the goal line and a Notre Dame player was downed with it in his possession. In the second half the superior weight and teamwork of Notre Dame and the poor condition of the Rice players began to tell, and before the whistle blew the score was 55-2. ttUmi FIESIMAM F@©TEALL TEAM MATlIIASjC-.a hl GEORGE (Captain) BRICK (Coach •« ' i i« 1 sail M 1 MUKi in CRISP DARLING LAMAR WHITAKER DUTTON CAMPBELL C1HIAM1PI©M LILLAKU SIMONS •.

DARLIXG p n TOMFOHRDE: To Tommy belongs the distinction of leading this year ' s five, and his leadership was so capable that he was re-elected to the captaincy. As well as being the captain, he was easily the star of the team. Despite careful guarding on the part of the opponents, he abso- lutely refused to stay checked up and his brilliant pla} ' and accurate goal shooting were the principal cogs of Rice ' s offense. On the basis of his defensive and offensive work, he was given a place as forward on the mythical all-state quintet. n KALB: Kalb was the mainstay on the team this }-ear, as one look at him will show. Playing a regular forward, he also took a turn at guard and center, whenever one of the other men got hurt, thus keeping the teamwork intact. From his position at forward he also pla}-ed a better defensive game than a majority of the guards in the State. His gradua- tion will leave a big hole to fill on next year ' s team. n BROWN: Brown playeci the entire season with a broken wrist, but in spite of this, repeated his splendid work of the year before. His speed enabled him to go up, shoot, and then come back and guard his man. This combination was always a little too much for the opposing forwards who rarely threw as many baskets as Brown himself. He is Irish, too, and with Delia Valle, the two made a fighting combination that gave as good as it got. SiiUf ' ' i i «J DELLA VALLE: Delia Valle blasted the hopes of more forwards last year than any other guard in the state. His guarding was a big factor in the season ' s success, and he kept the ball away from the opponents ' goal. To see him go into mixup after mixup and come out every time with the ball in his possession, was worth going far to see, and he absolutely re- fuseti to get knocked out. • ' . . n KINGSLAND: KIngsland was variously referred to as the husky center, the stocky center, etc., by misguided sporting writers but they all agreed in calling hin a star center. He was as quiet and meek a fresh- man as any sophomore would want and an ideal player from the referee ' s point of view. However, his work speaks for itself and his remarkable eye for the basket made him a big factor in the teams ' scoring ability. ;5. n DARLING: Darling was the smallest member of the team but at the same time one of the most valuable. His lack of size was made up for by his speed and aggressiveness. He will be remembered especially for his brilliant play in the rally which won the third A. M. game. Both Darling and Kingsland are freshman, and they will be stars in basket- ball at Rice for several vears to come. U MEVHEW ©F f IE] ;as©] fllE 1916 season was the second year of Basketball at Rice Institute. In 1915 a green team had defeated A. M. and secured second place in the State. W ith a veteran team returning, a champion- ship was hoped for this ' ear. However, two of the regulars, Hurd and Hargrove, failed to return to school, and Brown was in poor condition, due to football injuries. Coach Cummings haci also evolved a new system of play, which had to be mas- tered by the men and made the team development extremely uncertain. For these reasons the outcome of the season was doubtful, to sa} ' the least. The remaining old men went to work with a determination to have at least as good a team as that of the year before. Some good new ma- terial was unearthed, which seemed capable of filling the holes in the team, and the problem was to shape this material into a good team for the big games. It was realized that the new style of pla} ' would retard the progress of the team, and the schedule was so arranged that the big games came as a climax to the season. Following these, a trip to Louisiana, to meet L. S. U. and Tulane, was arranged. The early games were more in the nature of practice affairs and re- sulted in easy victories for the Owl five. Although the team had not yet rounded into form. East Texas Normal, Southwestern, Decatur, and Galveston Y. M. C. A. were defeated in quick succession by big scores. These games showed a gradual improvement in team work and individ- ual play and the two succeeding games with Baylor were confidently looked forward to. These old rivals were defeated in two rough games, in which the Owls doubled the scores on their opponents. The first Tulane game was played for the benefit of Houston charity before twelve hundred persons. This was one of the fastest games of the season and the home five had to extend itself to the limit to win, 33-18. The second game was much easier, being won 42-18. The team then went on a short trip to Texas and A. M. At Texas, they played their first and only outdoor game of the season and were defeated 32-27. This was a hard blow, but a return game at Houston gave a chance for final success. At A. M. the men started oiT slow and were ten points behind at the end of the half. They came back fighting but the lead was too great and another five-point game was lost 25-20. After the hard trip, every effort was made to get in good shape for the coming games, two with A. M. and one with Texas, as these would iTn.,. decide the state championship. The close scores on the road had aroused great interest and large crowds witnessed these games. The first A. ; M. game was hard-fought and featured b} ' fine defen- sive playing. The Owls were behind until the second half, when they started their spurt and decisively outplayed the Farmers, winning by a sco re of 16-9. The second game was a thriller, as each team knew that it meant a chance at the state title. The first half was extremely fast and hard- fought with neither team having an advantage. At the beginning of the second half, A. M. gradually began to draw away to a lead. In spite of their best efforts, the Owls seemed defeated when time-out was called with seven minutes to play and the score 21-12 in favor of A. M. How- ever the old Rice fighting spirit awoke during the two-minute rest and the team came back with a rush. Pla} ' ing the best game of the season, the men were all over the floor and gradually overcame the nine-point lead. Then, with thirty seconds to pla}- the winning basket was thrown and the game game ended with the Owls on the long end of a 24-22 score. The two defeats of A. AI. now put the championship issue up to the final game with Texas. The game was played before the largest crowd of the year and was a fitting climax to the season. It was a splendid ex- hibition of basketball and was in doubt until the last minute of play. The Owls led throughout the first half, which ended in their favor 8-6. As the team usually spurted in the latter part of the game Rice rooters were confident of victory. But in the second half the Owl five barely held its own and the expected spurt did not come. Finally with twenty seconds to play, Texas threw a foul which gave them the game and the championship, 17-16. The hard games with A. M. had told on the team and with no time to recover from their efforts, the men were unable to keep up the pace in the second half. Still further worn out after the Texas game, the Owls started on the Louisiana trip. Somewhat discouraged and in poor condition the men played L. S. U. and were beaten in two games by close scores. Had the men been in shape, the results would doubtless have been different, as they played good ball in spurts but were unable to hold the pace. At Tulanc the two games were won and the season thus brought to a suc- cessful close. Although the championship had been lost, a splendid fight had been made and the men had given the best in them. The season must be accounted a very successful one and no regrets expressed for the record made. With the loss of only one man and the acquisition of some splendid freshman material, all hopes are turned to the next }-ear for the winning of the first State Basketball Championship. mill 9 nil WATERS: The captaincy and high-jump were both well taken care of last season by Waters. Jimmie surprised those who did not know his style of jumping, as he always went three or four inches higher in a meet than in practice, and the harder the meet, the higher he would go, until he looked as if he were using a pole. n SPILLER: No one looking at Spiller would pick him as a State-cham- pion hurdler, as he is almost short enough to run under the hurdles. How- ever, he has developed a form of his own which is the despair of opposing low-hurdlers. He is captain of the 1916 team, and should repeat his victories of this vear. n STEVENS: Stevens was one of our Freshman stars, and made a great record for a first year man. He had a smooth, easy stride which ate up the distance without effort. In two intercollegiate meets he won places in the 100, 220, and 440, which shows his ability as a runner. He will be even better next vear. ■ -=rat ifTmrn ■ ' A ' ' li ' : ' 0 ' ' : , 1?. r4 ' m iJ « mMf ' ;:iS .. i--iH ' m BROWN: Brown was the victim of hardluck, or he would probably have repeated his past football and basketball triumphs on the cinder path. He was barely defeated in the 220 at A. M. and sprained his ankle in that race. Thereafter he was never able to get in condition, and his loss was a blow to the team, as he was a dependable man in the sprints. With better luck he will come through next } ' ear. n COLSTON: Colston was our only eligible representative in the weights, and the big Freshman acquitted himself well. Pitted against the best weight men in this section of the country he kept his coolness, and made his best throws in the meets. He won places at both the triangular meet and the T. I. A. A. at Austin. With another year ' s practice and develop- ment he will probably be a topnotcher in 1916. n CARR: A thin little Freshman, packing an old track suit and a big reputation, came out for track last spring. He immediately proceeded to earn a new track suit and a bigger reputation in the meets which fol- lowed. Carr was the freshman, and his running of the mile was a revela- tion to track fans of Texas. He broke the state record last year, and in the next three years should break quite a few more records. I [ i TOP: CAIX. FENDLEY. KALB, COLSTOX, BROWX, ARBUCKLE (COACH) MIDDLE: JACK (RUBBER).

CLARK lEVIEW ©F TIE SEASOJM IMB fHE track team of 1915 was onh ' the second in the history of Rice Institute, but splendid work was done in spite of many difliculties. The team suffered from the old handicap of Rice athletics, lack of sufficient material. There were some good men left over from the 1913 team, a few likely looking freshmen, but there were not enough men out to make a well balanced track team. In a half-dozen events we had men that were good for points in any meet they entered, but in other events we had no entries at all. It was realized that this would put the Institute at a big disadvantage in a dual meet, in addition to the danger that some of the men, forced to compete in too many events, might suffer permanent injury. For this reason no dual meet was attempted, but a very strong schedule of intercollegiate competition was arranged. The first meet of the season was the Triangular affair between A. AI., Texas, and Rice, at College Station. This was to be followed by the annual T. I. A. A. meet at Waxa- hachie, and finally by the first big meet of the newh ' formed S. W. I. C. at Austin. The Triangular meet at A. M. came early in April, and, although the men had trained faithfully they were hardly in shape to do their best. t— 3 It was not to be expected that they would defeat either Texas or A. M., the two strongest teams in the Southwest. However nine men were taken on the trip, and amply justified the confidence of the school in them. They scored 143- ' 2 points and showed promise of developing rapidly as the season advanced. Captain Welters took second in the high jump, Brown took second in the 220, Spiller second in the 220 yd. low hurdles, Houck and Finla} ' took second and third in the pole vault, while Carr placed in the mile and Colston in the hammer. Stevens, in the 440, leading at the turn, with just a few yards separating him from the tape and victory, stumbled and fell, while the field went past him. The records of the men greatly encouraged them, and they expected to do full} ' as well in the stiffer competition at the Texas Intercollegiate at Waxahachie. This expectation was realized, and Rice with 20 points was a very close third behind Texas and A. M. Three Rice men took first places, and thus became T. I. A. A. champions for a year. These were: Stevens in the 440, where he showed what would have hap- pened at College Station but for hard luck; Spiller in the 220-yd. low hurdles, in which he defeated the much touted Littlefield; and Carr in the mile, when he won his race, and set a new record for the T. I. A. A. In addition to the first places, Stevens took second in the 220, Waters placed in the high jump, and Colston in the hammer, while we secured second place in the relay. This was by far the best showing yet made by Rice in track, particularly in view of the small number of men on the team, practically every man being an intercollegiate point winner. The climax of the season was the first annual meet of the S. W. I. C. held at Austin. This association includes all of the big colleges of the Southwest and it was expected that this would be the greatest track meet ever held in Texas. This was borne out by the fact that five state, and three Southern records were broken. Texas won the meet by defeat- ing Oklahoma University in the relay. Rice was a good fourth, and would have done even better but for accidents to the men in the races. Spiller, with a good chance of winning his race, fell on the last hurdle, and failed to get a point. Carr ran his greatest race, and finished second in a mile which broke the Southern record for the distance. Stevens took places in the 100 and 440, while Captain Waters took second in the high jump, in which the winner also broke the state and Southern record. The fact that the men could accomplish this much in competition against the finest collection of athletes ever gathered together in the state certainly gives a bright outlook for the 1916 team. With these old stars back again, and reinforced by freshman material, Rice should make competition even closer for Texas, A. M., and other colleges, during the coming season. WOOTEN: Cap was Jabo ' s running mate and although his Hght was somewhat dimmed because of this connection, yet he did creditable work and was to be depended on. Cap hit seldom but he took a lusty swing and when he did connect the fielders did a cross country run. n CLYCE: Pep was guardian of the sun field and a faithful guardian was he. Long and short flies looked all the same to him and the only way to get a hit in left was to lose it. Pep ' s size, sure eye, and ability to reach first made him the choice for lead-off man, a job which he held down the entire season. His popularity and ability were recognized by his team mates and he was elected captain for 1916. iiiuii;!ii ,(iif!nni jV M- « CHANDLER: Olne} ' not only had the honor of leading the team in hitting, but had the distinction of being chosen on the all-state team. The hot corner was his hang-out and his bullet arm spelled doom to all would-be sacrificers who dared start one in his direction. n AicFARLAND: Alac covered the second sack and was a steady old hoss. He was sure on grounders and his abilit} ' to catch iiy balls imposed on him the duty of playing field in cases of emergenc} ' . Although no one could call Mac a heavy hitter, he holds the distinction of getting the last hit of the season, and incidentally winning the last game of the season. n Mhnnu HA ' idlORN: Jabo ' s ability to strike out the opposing batsmen won him the title of star pitcher and the admiration of the St. Louis Browns. He was a port-wheeler and had lots of smoke and courage. Jabo ' s only fault was his constitutional aversion to fielding his position, but this fault could be easih- negated if the umpire could be persuaded to assume this dutv. % ' ) . «.1 f ■ ' a: ' v i«i.sv JOURNEAY: George pla}-ed shortstop in the majorit}- of the games, but could be called upon to catch or piitch in times of necessity and do both with equal ability. George enjo ' cd the reputation of being one of the heavy hitters of the team and li ' cd up to it in noble fashion b} ' batting approximately .275. n CABANISS: Cab played the initial sack and although sometimes dubbed Laz} ' b ' his team mates, managed to move about quite actively when the occasion demanded. This laziness could be attributed to the fact that Cab had acquired the ability of sleeping with ease and com- placenc} ' while in a vertical position. His home run won the only game that the team captured while on their six-day trip and that in itself in- sures him a place in the Rice Hall of Fame. UUii.U]..ill n GARNETT: Agate was the rabbit in the outfield and it was his oflicial duty to run down anci bring back all balls hit over the outfield. He performed his task well and many seeming home runs were cut down to two-baggers b}- his fleet feet. Agate swung at the pitchers ' offerings from the left side of the plate and although not a consistent hitter, could be depended on to reach first often on account of his speed. mMM .y.V  %lX LONGLEY: Jimmie was a spit ball artist and was called upon several times to stop batting rallies of opposing teams and in each case he per- formed nobh ' . In addition Jimmie was capable of holding down one of the outfield positions in times of need. He shared the honor with McFar- land of winning the last game for it was his three-bagger that gave Mac his opportunity- to bring in the needed run. n COAN: Pop was the official backstop, and the shining spot from which all the life and pep of the team radiated. His famous phrase He can ' t hit nothing disconcerted many an opposing batsman, and instilled hope into the hearts of his own fatigued outfielders. During the progress of the game, if the umpire proved inefficient in the art of manipulating the indicator, Pop was capable and willing to call the balls and strikes. Pop was a hard worker and a timely hitter. iliilllfrtn ' ' T WS W!WW mmmmk ' ■■wM- ' sgy ' ■ i .:::;■■:■.: ■ ■■•.■iv ' :. ...A...,.., .......

BOTTOM: LON ' GLEY, CUMMINGS (ASSISTANT COACH), WOOTEX (CAPTAIN), CLYCE, CHANDLER E, :¥HEW ©F f lEII  M THE 1915 baseball season, from a standpoint of the number of games _ won and lost, was unsuccessful. Out of the total number of twent ' - five games played, Rice won only seven; on the inter-collegiate schedule eighteen games were played, Rice winning only five. By defeat- ing A. ; M. in the first game of the season and Trinity in the last game, she has the credit of starting and finishing strong, even though little else favorable can be added. If the team had been able to lose the Jinx that hovered over them all season and had managed to win a few more games between their glorious start and Garrison finish, this review might have been written in a different strain. n The football, basketball and track teams were very successful but the baseball team was the one dark spot in a splendid record. It is to be regretted that they could not finish higher in the percentage column be- cause the team and coaches had visions of a championship early in the season, but ere manv moons had rolled bv this vision was sadlv shattered. The limited numbei of men that the coaches had to work with severely handicapped the practice and caused the small number that were out to become disheartened. There were never more than two teams on the field for practice, and at times the squad would dwindle to fourteen or fifteen men. This lack of material to choose from made it necessary for the coaches to fill in the weak places with men who belonged in other positions, and as a result of these shifts, there was a lack of team work, combined with the inability of the men changed to accustom them- selves to their new positions. n Also, the team as a whole, was weak on offense. Not a pla} ' er on the team was able to hit .300 and few indeed were near the .275 mark for the season. Several men, notably Clyce, Journeay and Chandler, were fair hitters, but the - themselves failed to deliver in the pinches. This failure to hit when most needed, was the principal cause of Rice ' s consistent losing. Many times she was successful in advancing men around to second and third, but always the necessar}- hit was lacking and as a consequence a large number of games were lost by small scores, which could have been turned into victories by timeh ' bingles. n The pitching of Wooten and Hathorn was all that could be desired. In a large number of games both struck out from ten to fourteen men, but still the team behind them would blow up and lost the game for them. Anv pitcher would have found great diflicult} ' in winning a game with such an erratic and sky-soaring bunch behind him. In all four games against Texas University Wooten and Hathorn pitched winning ball, but the team failed to develop the offense, weakened in their defense at critical moments, and the good pitching went for naught. At the open- ing of the season Coach Arbuckle engaged as coaches Mr. Roy A-litchell, a veteran pitcher, and Mr. Jack Snipes, who had assisted him during the football season. The three worked hard to build up a winning team from the limited number that reported for practice. A few good men were found but not suflfcicnt to rounci out a successful club. However, the bunch worked hard and tried to hit a winning stride, but all their efforts were in vain. They were world beaters one day and the next they played like a high school team. They were unreliable and at no time dur- ing the season did they develop their team work. Their consistent losses made the men reckless on the bases and careless in their batting and as a result, the}- failed to improve as the season advanced. n The team started out badly by being defeated in the pre-season games. This took some of the pep out of them and they failed to regain it during the season. The loss of Aten, Cain, Cummings and Farr from the line- up and the inability to fill their places on account of the scarcity of ma- THE terial was a serious blow to the team. Although the 1915 team was not a successful aggregation yet there were a number of good ball players on the club to form a nucleus for the 1916 team. n The results of the games played by the Rice Owls this scasoii were as follows : Marc h 3- -Rice 6 Houston High School Marc h 12- -Rice 5 St. Louis Browns 14 Marc h20- -Rice 11 Barringer Norton 8 Marc h24- -Rice 0; Houston Buffs 8 Marc h 26- -Rice 3 A. c M. 2.

But the athletic teams of the school are getting along well in spite of this lack. Through their game fighting and great records against the teams of older institutions, they have built up a big following in Texas, and particularly in Houston. Fortunateh ' , some of this following is made of the stuff to show its appreciation in a practical manner, and thereby hangs this tale. Messrs. Brockman, Lister, VVeatherford and Kalb are the leading, or giving characters, with the various letter men in the supporting, or consuming, cast. Mr. Brockman had been the host of several previous teams, at in- formal bancjuets in their honor, but, in connection with Dr. Lister, he blossomed forth and gave the 1915 football team a fine dinner at Blacks, at Morgan ' s Point. This was followed by Mr. Weatherford ' s dinner at the Houston Club for the same team. Both of these affairs were elab- orately planned by the hosts and the team members did ample justice to the occasion. The Basketball team was also the guest of Mr. Brockman at Black ' s, and since some of the team had played football, they were prepared for the fine dinner and general good time that awaited the bunch there. Tiny Kalb, in conjunction with his father, was host to the team for the second time, and the bancquet was even more enjoyed than that of the preceding year, a record being made for originalit} ' and taste at these affairs. In addition he presented the 1915 basketball team with a splendid loving cup, as a memento of the first basketball team of Rice Institute, of which he was the captain. It can readily be seen what an effect these aflfairs have on students trying out for the team. It will not be long before the Rice Institute teams will be the hardest to make of any in the State, with such inducements for working. The letter men are heartily appreciative of the generosity of their supporters and will attempt to show appreciation by keeping up their winning recorcis, thus justifying the confidence placed in them. = TI l3GfD)5)g ASSOCMTI®!! i II ©FFECEMS President, C.

THE final ball of the term 1914-15 was given in the Dining Hall when members of the Idlers Club acted as hosts and nearly a hundred guests participated. Pen- nants were used in decoration and these were supplemented by foliage plants, palms being distributed in effective arrangement. The en- gagements for the twenty dance numbers were recorded in attractive booklets. The cotillion was led by R. M. Rolfe and Miss Lenore Wall. Chinese c ueues and hats were distributed as favors to the dancers, making the figures most novel and attractive. Members of the faculty and parents of the hosts served as chaperones. Throughout the evening punch was served ar during an intermission a delicious ice course was much enjoyeci. n 0 ' : OFEMM BALL mm-m JR Southern clime lends itself admirably to beautiful outdoor effects, and the hosts of this year ' s opening ball took advantage of this fact by stringing electric lights in festoons in the picturesque court of the Residential Hall. The electric lights vied with the moon ' s pale rays, and the cool palm and rose-grown court was an ideal retreat after the heat of dancing. The dance was, as usual, held in the Dining Hall, which was gayly festive with bright pennants hung by our accommodating Freshmen. Throughout the evening delicious punch of chilled fruit juices was greatly enjoyed, as was also the dainty ice course which was served during an intermission. It was a most suc- cessful party and set a standard for those to follow. n TME FMIESIHIMAM ©AMCE fHE Freshman Dance of October Thirtieth marked the entrance of our youngest class into the social activities of the Institute. The ciance opened with a grand march led by Mr. Lee Gripon, the Freshman President, and Miss Doris Doney. The little blue and grey Freshman caps found a dominant place in the decorative scheme, and were effectively used as a border to the shield of grey moss which formed a background for the class numeral ' 19, composed of green electric lights. The caps also figured in the refreshments, which consisted of cakes in the form and colors of the class caps, and an ice of true Freshman green, and the idea was further carried out in the programs. At the earnest solicitation of the Sophomores, who took a lively and unselfish, if somewhat personal, interest in the appearance of the Freshman President, Mr. Gripon wore a full dress suit which rendered him rather conspicuous in the informal gathering. n TEE S©F1HI©M©MIS P M€3E THE first annual dance of the Class of ' 18 was held on the evening of Februar} Twenty- first in the Dining Hall and Commons of the Institute. Promptly at nine o ' clock, the orchestra started pla -ing the granci march which, led b} Paul Clark, the Sophomore President, and Miss Camille Waggaman, inaugurated the evening ' s festivities. The pro- grams were in the gray and blue colors of the Institute and contained ten regular numbers besides the extras. After the sixth dance, which was the supper number, the couples formed in the hallway for the cotillion. This was planned so that the marching couples would form a huge R which was immediately resolved into an I, thus making the initial letters of the Institute. The favors of the evening were then distributed. Blue and gray for the Institute and green and gold for the class were the color combinations used, the former being used in the Dining Hall and the latter in the Commons. A light supper, consisting of sandwiches, chicken salad and cafe noir, was served immediately after the cotillion, while during the entire evening delicious punch could be had from the prettily decorated tables in the Hall of Commons. The cotillion was one of the most elaborate of the season and was heartily enjoyed by all present. THE JIDJMn©! 1- T was a gay and festive revel. As the guests approached the Commons through the Garden Court with its festoons of Japanese lanterns swinging in the breeze, the spirit of carnival swept out to meet them. A soft blue light shone from the entrance hall, which was decorated most effectively with the grav and blue of the Institute. Rose and gra} ' , the colors of the Senior Class, were used in the reception room and commons proper. From one of the great stone fireplaces in the reception room, a cascade of sweet peas mingled with moss and fern fell nearly to the floor, while the other fireplace was similar!}- decorated with carnations. The tables in the center of the room, from which a buffet supper was served later in the evening, were adorned with Marie Antoinette baskets of fern and flowers, and from the prettily ap- pointed side tables delicious punch was to be had throughout the evening. The ver} ' radiators were included in the decorative scheme and were hidden beneath blankets of sweet peas and fern woven with moss. The dining hall was a bower of rose and gray, even the chandeliers being garlanded with the chosen colors. Cornucopiae filled with confetti hung from the beamed ceiling and during the cotillion, these were pulled by invisible wires and spilled their multicolored contents on the revellers below. At the close of the figure, Paul Jones, who was no less a personage than President Lovett, was presented with a huge stick of peppermint candy, which he was kind enough to break in bits and serve to the dancers. This cotillion was led by Rollin Rolfe and Aliss Elva Kalb. The favors were quaint hats, serpentines, and whistles, which with the confetti lent much gaiety and beauty to the figure. The promenade was led by Rollin Rolfe (Senior President) and Olney Chandler (Junior President) with Misses Kalb and Sandel. This was Rice ' s first Junior Prom and it has set a high standard of beauty and taste for those to come. MAMCIHI A windblown blackbird in a windblown tree — The sere, dead grass and fields yet bare and brown — But on the quickened bough, the swelling bud, And on the wind the smell of new-broke earth, And in the air, the promise of the Spring, O sodden fields and clods A ' et cheerless gray — O gibing winds and raindrops like wild tears: Ye hide the sun, and yet we know he shines. And in the cold and angry heart of March Is hid the living promise of the Spring. Stude .t Labor S!port: Naked flagstaffs top the loggias Above the ochre avenues.

THE TRASH Vol. 1 RICE INSTITUTE, HOUSTON, T THE AMSHANKX ARE STILL ALIVE In view of the publicity attached to the initiation of the Gray Flying Bat, it was thought that the formerly powerful political organization known as the AMSHANKX was resting peacefully in its grave. However, our special corps of secret service men, have dis- covered an attempt to bring this fraternity again to the fore. Had it not been for their watchfulness another crime against the spirit of the place, our good old democratic spirit, would have been committed, and we would have been forced to bow our necks to aristo- cratic yoke. Just as people in love are subject to fits of jealousy, just so are politicians subject to the green-eyed monster. It is due to this propensity among politicians that we owe our information. One of the Amshankx was defeated in his candidacy for chief Ph. in the D. Ph. ' s Club, and feeling that his broth- ers had not supported him fully became ter- ribly angry and prompted by a spirit of re- venge, betrayed to our staff, a carbon copy of a letter of invitation sent to a person closely connected with the student body. This letter shows the enormity of the nerve of this or- ganization and their inability to appreciate the fundamentals of the laws of respect. The crime is so great that we mention no names but leave them to your imagination. April 27, 1916. The Liberty Bird, Terrestrial Globe. At the urgent request of X number of ex-members of Der Goethe-Verein, the Mystic Order of Amshankx extends to you a cordial invitation to join their organization. The object of our fraternity is to promote the political welfare of all our members. How- ever, we realize that wc are in the position of the beggar; we receive far more than we give; but as one ought not to scorn even the weakest antagonist, so one must not cast aside the smallest means of aid. Therefore, we ask that you will condescend to join our order and that you will teach us the political arts. If you will accept our invitation, as a favorable sign, run your steamroller through the Sallyport three times on Thursday morn- ing at 9:27 and holler Resignation. Any further instructions as to initiation will fol- low in subsequent correspondence. A-M-S-H-A-N-K-X. MISTER PA PERKINS 1 HBUt ' hB 1 ' .

Here is the picture, taken especially for The Trasher. Mr. Perkins will re- ceive the outbound mail in the morning when he brings the incoming mail over. There are approximately thirty letters daily and elaborate exercises mark the delivery of each one. Mr. Perkins ' name will stand third or fourth in the Institute Roster of Employees. He is one of the most popular of the Mail Carriers and has been a leader in Gum Shoeing Activities throughout his four years at the Institute. He has taken a prominent part in the Police Activities relating to the young men offenders. This year he is a Deputy of the Harris County force, and substitute on the Institute Ball TEXAS WILL BE HERE SAT RICE EXPECTS TO TURN THE STATE TEA Whole Team Is Preparing f and Expects To Show I Form.

Just what this jubi- be, no one seems to know, thing that the societies have d is the annual inter-society de- en the men ' s societies. This bably serve the purposes of ning all -ight, but the Shotwell o be awarded the best speaker t, and it seems that it would verdoing the thing to award ger cup on the same contest, s leaves out of consideration th Baldwin Society. It would le to hold a debate between ies on the same night, hence Is want a chance at the Lech- er cup they should let the fact nown, and they should submit for a contest in which more rganizations can take part, me ago we stated that we glad to publish suggestions student as to how this cup awarded. We now renew that and request all students who iven thought to the matter and some plan to offer to commu- th us. As the cup is awarded it will probably be awarded rs to come, and it behooves unconsciously grateful. This wasteful fashion in which the hard- earned cash of fond parents and indulgent guardians is spent on the trifles and frivolities of life, constitutes a disgruntling influence in the lives of our less fortunate brothers. It is a shame! It must be stopped! Now the next time you are tempted to boost ' em five or you think you need an egg sandwich, just stop and think, be charitable and remember there is many a bum down town who is really craving for a drink. EVERYTHING It certainly does give us pleasure when we see the loyal support which is given our athletic teams. From college spirit arises the springs of devotion and enthusiasm that grow into the broad rivers of loyalty and patriotism for our fair country. In college, men are taught the principles of self-sacrifice. Public opinion restrains them from attending the extension lectures and forces them to attend athletic events. This submergence of self into the sea of the social order is, in the words of Pax Romanus, the keystone of the evergrowing arch of collec- tivism, The glorious perfection of muscular devel- opment typifies the proficient athlete, his physical perfection renders him more capable of carrying the mental burdens which are placed on the backs of all of us. We hesitate to quote the parable of the water on the duck ' s back. His perfection teaches us to look about us, we see the other wonders of creation; the world about us is striving. The whole cosmic order is alive and loudly calling to us to enter into the conflict. It is a fray of life and death, of joys and sorrows, of plenty and of need. The man who is trained eats a bounteous re- past in a luxurious banquet hall, the un- trained consumes a cold biscuit on the back door step. Of course the expert man is not always suc- cessful. Sometimes he is the victim of cir- cumstances. But the lives of the majority are ethically justifiable and the world is much better off that they have existed. So let us not be weary in striving, but ever turning our face to the sun, look forward to the moment when we shall put our footprints on the sands of time. There is one fault about the students that we certainly do think should be corrected. It is the habit of quiet modesty. Any one who is affected with this trouble is in grave danger of being lost in the busy world of college activities. Praise yourself, for if you do not, it may happen that no one els3 will. By thinking that others pay attention to what you say, you will begin to imagine that l nrp nf ■jnmp imrirtrtar n f. Tr x. it- gninp- VIVA EL TORO Did you hear what he said?

When the high-brow Profs, at Rice are pro- fessing Or making their examination plans. Their capacity for boisterous enjoyment — rous enjoyment — Seems greater than the ordinary man ' s. They forget that they ' re expected to be models. They often get as rowdy as can be. As though they had become inebriated — ebriated — On a cup too much of English Breakfast Tea. So how can they expect the simple students To work all day — then labor through the night ; For if their mentors do not act with prudence — act with prudence How will they guide the erring footsteps right?

This is a thing you would do well to figure on occasionally, for } ' Our output is affected for good or otherwise by everything you eat. Your value to yourself in dollars and cents may be raised or lowered according to the character of the materials you put in your stomach — how important then it is that you should buy final-low-cost quality foods such as we sell. I To Wives and Mothers Have you ever stopped to realize how much final-low-cost quality gro- ceries and provisions have to do with your husband ' s health and happiness (not to mention those of the boy and girl)? You have something to say about nearly everything that is eaten in your home. Even if you do not pick ' em out you are expected to advise and suggest. Three Messages To Men Who Buy Groceries Would it not be of advantage to both you and your wife if you were even better informed about quality groceries and pro- visions? Trade-marked nationally advertised lines are generally of higher quality. They ensure satisfied trade-customers that come back. They require less selling effort and therefore are cheaper to buy. Final-low-cost Henke Pillot lines are the bulwark of the home. To Texan s Who Are Progressive .4mong the Texas firms which have stood for progress in selling high-qual- ity groceries and provisions at lowest prices Henke Pillot have been con- spicuous. You have been leading advocates of better retailing conditions, of more intelligent salesmanship and adver- tising.
