Port Arthur, Texas Engineering Society; Cadet Fir t Lieutenant. A mysterious child: occasionally dis- covered at night somewhere near Eagle Street, being escorted here and there by several females of the species. (Absent in war service.) CHARLES FLINN ARROWOOD B.A. Houston, Texas Honor Council. Spring Term ' IS. The most stunning cadet benedict of the age: his grey hairs are a cause of reverence, and his overflowing silence rings constantly in our ears. Some say he makes a practice of pronouncing at least one word a day, but if perchance this is overheard, he runs away — even unto a far place. m m m % p Sfes m f i ai HELEN BROWDER BARBER B.A. Houston, Texas Editorial Staff. Campanile; Honor Council Hi- ' IT ' IT- ' IS; Class Secretary ' 17- ' 1S; Goethe Verein Vice-President ' 16- ' 17; Assistant Librarian. Known as the ' Library Queen. Her eyes runneth down with tears for the forwardness of other women — but vamping professors is her specialty. One of the triumfeminate conser ' a- tives. m I m w ' i ' -H.i J- dj WILLIAM RALPH BARRON Houston, Texas Engineering Society. He is the possessor of information of which Socrates never dreamed, and could quote laws which Justinian him- self would not recognize. Speaking of efficiency: he had reduced his waist to a minimum. (Absent in war service.) I m mm ANDREW BONNELL BRYAN B.A. Honors in Physics Felicia, Texas Assistant in Physics ' 1G- ' 17; Goethe Verein. One of those rare articles in a class by himself. Being often very much troubled by the follies of our college youth, he disagrees with Emerson, and says that it is conformity which con- quers in the world. Excessive noise and practical jokes cause him much anguish. I HOWARD EMMETT BUSE Houston, Texas Riceonian Literary Society Secretary ■16- ' 17. Sometimes named Selfa — . WTiat he knows would cause many a child of eight to wonder how such wisdom could be acquired. Destined to be a great man at something, somewhere, some day. L CRAMER CXARK CABINESS B.A. Lockhiirt, Texas tlonor Council ' l(j- ' 17. One of those fellows almost too nice to be real. Cab says he is going to be a p-eacher, though, and its all right for preachers to be nice. (Abrent in war service.) JOSEPH PICKENS COLEMAN B.S. Little Rock. Arkansas President Senior Class; Engineering Society Vice-President ' 16- ' 17. Presi- dent ' IT- ' IS; Honor Council ' 10- ' 17, Chairman ' 17- ' 18; Cadet First Lieu- tenant. Pick for short — a noble lad, good na- tured, but surrounded by too many evils. A non-participant member of the bedlam Tower, heredity and en- vironment conflicting: the final out- come — ??. Ah. he ' s a noble lad, he dines with Captain Baker. (Absent in war service.) n i Wi H m ALSTON HARDY DUGGAN B.A. San Antonio, Texas Editorial Staff, Campanile; Cadet Major. Our Major Duggy, — subordination forbids us to disclose the fact that he has a bald spot, for he is very particu- lar, and strives vainly to camouflage it with his other rapidly decreasing locks; some say it was caused by his strange posture while sleeping. (Absent in war service.) i m i W J CARRIE HODGES Nacogdoches, Texas Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. One about whom little is known. No mere man ever aspired to sully her doorstep, or ventured so much as to talk to her of things lovely — though E.he does wear a solitare. LELAND ALLEN HODGES B.A. Georgetown, Texas Baseball ' 16. ' 17; Architectural Society, President ' IS. Known widely as Punk , and reputed to be an English shark. Displayed great interest in Oklahoma and Thing Oklahoman; on the whole, a very lov- able man. but prone to succomb to any epidemic of rabid atmosphere. (Absent in war service.) m I 1 1 I sS Ei FLORENCE BETSY McALLISTER Tulsa, Oklahoma Assistant Circulation Manager, Cam- panile; Class Secretary ' 16- ' 17, ' 17- ' 1S; Y. W. C. A., Secretary IT- ' IS; Les Hiboux, Secretary Treasurer ' 17. Betsy is her commonest and most appropriate nom de cloister, but Flossie also characterizes her well. She is the principal thing Oklahom- an. and a moulder of men (more cor- rectly: of a man). 4 JAMES PHILIP MARKHAM Houston, Texas Editor-in-Chief, Campanile; Student Manager of Athletics ■17- ' 18; Business Manager Thresher 16 and ' 16- ' 17; In. tersociety Freshman Debate ' 14; An- nual Intersociety Debate 15, ' 10, ' 17; Shotwell Medal for debating ' 17; World Peace Oratorical Contest ' 16 17. ' IS; Riceonian Literary Society, Vice-Presi- dent ' 1.5, Secretary ' 16, President 17- ' IS. The originator of the aphorism, second only to Jabbo in puns, and undisputed in the use of unknown words. Rendered immortal by a natural vari-colored coif- fure and uncertain complection: never- theless — Evep. ' thing ' s pretty. (M L t VIRGIL EDWARD MEHARG B.A. Honors in Chemistry Turnersvllle, Texas Assistant in Chemistry ' 16- ' 17 and ' 17- ' IS; Goethe Verein; Cadet First Lieu- tenant. One of the most sociable men in school —with himself. Known to the stu- dents as the power (far) behind the throne of the military regime, which has made him very popular — with W. C. G.. J. T. M.. and T. M. R. EDMUND BURRUS MIDDLETON B.A. Honors in Chftniitry Eagle Lake, Texas Assistant in Chemistry ' 16- ' 17 and ' 17- ' IS; Goethe Verein; Les Hiboux. Very demure, and particularly graceful — in his sleep. His commanding air causes (very young) children to trem- ble. I Wi I m i ■ RALPH KINNAN ROTHROCK H.A. Mercedes, Texas Art Department, Campanile; Ow! Lit- erary Society, Treasurer ' 17, President ' IS; Architectural Society; Engineering Society. You have just seen the reason for his nickname, Riggy ; far-famed for his beauty. A little slow at the comprehen- sion of soft words of love, but very ac- tive in a thunder-storm. The best na- ture in the world, spread all over his face. ELSBETH THOMPSON ROWE B.A. Houston, Texas Associate Editor. Campanile; Class Vice President ' 15, 17. President ' 10; Honor Council ' 14- ' 15; Thresher Staff IG- ' H; Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society, President ' 17- ' 18. ■ ' Tommie to a few; mainstay of the triumfeminate conservatives. She would be a mother to us all, point out the evil of our ways, and lead us along the straight and narrow path. Ki m si H i i i PAUL GERSON SAFER B,A. Honors in Physics Houston, Texas Assistant in Physics ' 1G- ' 17, and ' 17- ' 18; Goethe Verein. The mustache he has been nurturing makes him the subject of much envy. Mathematically, a phenomenon: said to be almost a second Sidis. CHRISTINE OLIVIA SCHULTZ B.A. Houston, Texas Circulation Department, Campanile; Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. Her age makes us afraid. Her size was well suited to her job as Major of the Rice Legion of Death : Irishly speak- ing, it was immense! If there were more like her. the follies of the world would decrease. J i m i o m BARTON WILLIAM STONE B.S. Georgetown, Texas Circulation Manager, Campanile; As- sistant in Engineering ' 17- 18; Engi- neering Society, Secretary 17; Cadet Battalion Adjutant. He never laughs, but has a broad smile. His whereabouts at night have never been discovered other than on the 12:45 car; secretly thought to have great charm with women. {Absent in war service.) i J m MARY JANE STRATFORD B.A. Houston, Texas Editorial Staff. Campanile; Tennis Champion (Doubles) ' 16; Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society, Vice-Presi- dent IZ- ' IS. As the petite Mary Jane of old, she is Puritan; her life is a model.. for she is a daughter of the goddess (not the one of Liberty). She aspires to be the first dialectician of the land. She does an instituter a great favor when, upon rare occasions, she speaks to him, for she is the three of the triumfeminates. I s m i j CAMILLE WAGGAMAN B.A. Houston, Texas Campanile Staff 16; Thresher le- ' lT. ' 17- 1S; Tennis Champion (Singles) ' 16, ' 17; Tennis Club President ly- ' lS. The Radical par excellence, standing off the whole throng of conservatives. Formerly widely reputed, and well re- membered yet for her salomic perfec- tion. Now a ruler of men with the rod of intellect and the flame of vivacity. Much lieutenants fall at her feet, and of Majors, she has a full score. m SI GEORGE CARLOS WHEELER B.A. Honors in Biology Bonham, Texas Editorial Staff. Campanile, Honor Council. Chairman Spring Term ' 18; Assistant in Biology ' 10- ' 17, n- ' lS; Goethe Verein, Secretary ' 17, President ' 17; Les Hiboux, President ' 18; Cadet Captain. Biologically inclined — specialist as an anthropoid and also Crustacea expert another power behind the throne, and ver ' - proud of his commission. He stands well with his company, — when the company isn ' t formed. 1 p FLORENCE WORLEY Houston, Texas Choral Club ' 10- ' 17; Tennis Club ' l ' IS. She is one of those elements of this earth which no man can fathom; she stands not often in the sunlight of publicity — nor even then does she cast a very broad shadow. i i i JUNIOR v JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Harris Taylor Dodge, President Ruby South, Vice-President Lawrence Myrick Kingsland, Secretary-Treasurer 1 MAY BELLE COCKRELL Academic Houston, Texas MARY CASSIDY COTTINGHAM Academic Houston, Texas I malric:e nath n dvnm u i m Mechanical Engineering Houston, Texas GLENN IRVINC; DAMS Electrical Engineering Greenville, Texas I HARRIS TAYLOR DODGE Academic Houston, Texas JULIAN AUSTIN DORMANT Academic Houston, Texas m -, iiiafci!_2 jkS ' . ii GEORGE MARSHALL DLK ES Academic Houston, Texas OLIVE LORAINE ERKEL Academic San Antonio, Texas OTTO HUGO ELSENLOHR Academic Dallas, Texas HARVEY E.

Shannon mm COMMENCEMENT 1917 |1IE magic word Commencement: the Freshmen utter it in low and awcstruclv tones, the Sophomores utter it in accents of despair, the Juniors whisper it reverently, and the Seniors, — they dare not say it for fear the spell - ill break, the charm be lost. The coming events are the subject of all the animated cloister chatter, and the students are impatient for the beginning of the great week. When we speak here of the events centering on the com- mencement exercises of the second graduating class of Rice Institute, it is with the hope that we may paint a picture which will recall vividly to the alumni of ' 17, those happy last days, and to relate a story which will inspire the undergraduates to struggle on with renewed vigor toward similar happy days in the future. THE SENIOR BANQUET Senior Week opened with a banquet given in the Brazos Court, — the final reunion of all the members of the 1917 class. The affair was form.al, yet a delightful spirit of camaraderie kept the bugbear of stiffness away. The long table, softly illumined by shaded candles banked with flowers, was presided over by the President of the Institute. Witty toasts, happy chatter, soft music, the gentle swaying of the vines on their trel- lises in the cool breeze, and the witcher} ' of dining out of doors under the blazing Southern stars made an impression that will remain always with those classmates who would, in a short time, separate perhaps never to meet again. i i M ui LITERARY SOCIETY CONTESTS On Friday night in the faculty chamber, the men ' s literary societies held their annual ora- torical and debating contests. The intersoeiety debate was •on by the representatives of the Riceonian Society, the Shotwell medal being awarded to a memljer of the winning team. The Lechenger cup was awarded to the Owl Literary Society, whose repre- sentative was victorious in the oratorical contest. M I ' bSI. THE SENIOR AMERICAN In gay summer attire, the Commons was the scene on Patvirday morning of one of the most charming events of the week: the Seniors and their guests to the number of some thirty-five couples fathered to enjoy the Senior American. Palms and a few ferns formed a pleasing decora- tion, while the residential court made a suitable promenading place dur- ing the intermissions. The excellent music was interrupted only long enough to serve a delightful course of ice cream and cake, and the dancers resumed their enjoyment of the morning hours. Just as the summer heat was beginning to be felt, the gay affair came to an end, and its memory became a monument to the hospitality of the class of ' 17. TENNIS TOURNAMENTS The same afternoon at two o ' clock the tennis tournaments were held on the men ' s courts. The temporary grandstand which had been erected for the occasion was dotted with gay summer hues, and fairly sprouted sunshades, which bobbed sociably back and forth as the fair owners moved about to watch the players skimming over the courts. In spite of the heat, the games were fast and full of vim, well meriting the hearty interest and vigorous applause of the spectators. I i 559 i m NO CLASS NIGHT EXERCISES A note of sadness was sounded when it became impossible to have the Class Night exercises that had been planned, the reason being that so many men of the class had answered the call of their nation, and were absent in training camps. Together with the sorrow at the absence of these men was felt a great pride in the fact that so many men of Rice had promptly answered the call to the colors. BACCALAUREATE On Sunday morning the more serious side of commencement, the reahza- tion of the duties and responsibilities incumbent on university graduates, was brought forcibly to the minds of the Seniors and their friends as they witnessed the beautiful baccalaureate ser dce. The academic procession headed by Dr. Lovett and Dr. Geo. W. Truett of Dallas, Texas, and consisting of faculty members, trustees, alumni of ' 16, and Seniors, marched through the Physics Cloister to the platform erected in the Sally-port. The choir led in the singing of Veni Creator Spiritus, the in- spiring hymn so dear to all who love Rice Institute, and Lord of all Being, Throned Afar, after which Dr. Lovett offered the invocation. Follow- ing the singing of 0 God, Our Help in Ages Past, Dr. Truett rose and delivered his baccalaureate sermon on the subject The Making of the Right Kind of a Life, using as his text the verse from Acts, David served his own generation by the will of God. The words that fell with such forceful earnestness on the Sabbath quiet of the early summer morning left an undying impression on all who heard them. The resolve to try to make the right kind of a life, a life of service to one ' s fellow-be- ings in accordance with the purpose of God was strenghtened in every heart. At the conclusion of the sermon the One Hundredth Psalm and America were sung, and the benediction pronounced. I I I COMMENCEMENT Monday, the last day of Com- mencement Week and the one most eagerly locked forward to, was a brilliant succession of thrills and joys for the Sen- iors. In plan it followed the tradition of Rice — the prece- dent set by the first Com- mencement. In the morning an academic procession was formed similar to that of Sun- day, except that Dr. Lovett was now accompanied by Pro- vost William H. Carpenter of Columbia University, who was the speaker of the day. After the singing of the Veni Creator Spiritus the Com- mencement address was delivered: an eloquent and beautiful treatment of the subject, The University and the Nation. The highest ideal of Ei i i the relation of the University to the Nation, is that which regards the University as the guide and protector of the Nation — a guide to greater achievement and more universal service, and a protector, if rightly con- ceived, from a materialistic use of learning and science. The University must be a factor in helping America to preserve her great principle of Democracy and her spiritual integrity. A noble thought, grandly ex- pressed stirred the hearts of all, and gave to every mind a higher concep- tion of duty and responsibility. When the speaker took his seat, a wave of suppressed excitement seemed to pass over the audience, the long anticipated event was about to take place, — the conferring of degrees. As Dr. Griffith Conrad Evans read the names, the graduates mounted the platform one by one, to receive their diplomas from Dr. Lovett and to be decorated ' ith the academic hood by Dr. Stockton Axson. Here again, the proud joy of the occasion was tempered by the thought of the fourteen soldier classmates who could not receive their degrees in person, but must have them awarded in absentia. THE GARDEN PARTY Late Monday afternoon the class of ' 17 were the honor guests of Dr. and Mrs. Lovett at a delightfully planned garden party, given in the Quad- rianglc and Physics Court. Palms were grouped about the inviting tete a tete chairs placed along the cloisters: festive looking awnings shaded tables and refreshment booths here and there on the campus, and the dainty dresses of the girls added still another note of color to the scene. Delicious refreshments of salads, ices, and cakes were served in great bounty. Happy voices of men and maids sounded on the summer air until approaching twilight gave warning that time would not slacken his pace even to prolong such a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. m i m i THE FINAL BALL The final ball that night came as the crowning event, the end of a perfect day. The Commons was transformed into a veritable rainbow-land, its rosy hues significant of the high hopes of Commencement time. Cozy corners were ingeniously set aisde by bright festoons of bunting from which were suspended merrily bobbing balloons of all the colors of the rainbow. The cloisters and hedged paths of the Residential Court, softly lighted by Japanese lanterns, and fragrant with the sweet scents of the summer night were popular promenading places. Delightful refreshments in the form of dainty ice cream baskets filled with cherries were served just as the evening reached its climax. Though the dancers were loath to leave, this pleasant affair, too, had to have an end. As the last guests departed under the glowing stars of that June night, the Second Commencement of Rice Institute passed into history and became a sacred memory in the hearts of the men and women of ' 17. m i g§ i I i m SOCIETY THE FOOTBALL DANCE [EFORE the first bugle had sounded, before the first lecture had begun, the social season of 1917- 18 was gaily ushered in by the men of the football squad, who entertained their friends in the Uni- versity Commons on the evening of September sixth. This first social event was reluctantly ended at midnight, and all of the thirty couples who were present pronounced it a very jolly affair. In accordance with the war policy of conservation, the entertaining athletes set the example of hav- ing a merry time without eats, deliciovis ice cold water being the only refreshment served. i I OPENING BALL The Freshmen were hosts to the upperclassmen at the opening ball, given in the ballroom of the Rice Hotel on the evening of Saturday, October twentieth. The attendance was very large indeed: the Freshmen supported their class activity in fine style, and the students in the other classes attended in equally large numbers to show their hearty appreciation of the hospitality of the Class of ' 21. The Freshman president, arrayed in the gala costume thought- fully prepared by the Sophomores, made his appearance, and was the cause of much applause and laughter. The Fish president, Kennedy, was the most prominent man on the floor, being a very attracting object; at eleven o ' clock, he and Miss Thelma Norton led the grand march that marked the height of the night ' s revelry. The dance was a complete success, and will long be remembered as an occasion of perfect happiness. Vc- I Y. W. C. A. OFFICERS President.

The dance was a complete success, and will long be remembered as an occasion of perfect happiness. Wi i On Saturday evening, November tenth, the Commons was in gala attire, the pleasing scheme of decoration used by the Sophomores being an attractive multitude of the pennants of many colleges. The battle-scarred trophies of many athletic victories were spread on a table in grand array, so that the visiting Southwestern team might see who were those that had defeated them that afternoon on the gridiron. There was a football with 7-0 painted on the side, and still another with the red and white figures 20-0 on the cover; several basketballs bore inscriptions that testified to the valor of Rice athletes. The rattling good music furnished by an orchestra of five pieces was an eft ' ective stimulus to the feeling of mutual good fellowship that made this dance typical of Rice social events, — an entirely joyful success. JUNIOR DANCE The Juniors felt it their privilege to close the first term with a dance ; accord- ingly, on Decem- ber first, just two weeks before the :iiitumn exami- - nations, a merry crowd gathered in the university Commons. The pretty gray and blue programs, decorated with the R. I. and 1919, contained sixteen numbers, — half of which could not be com- pleted because of the insistent demand for more encores during the early part of the evening. Throughout the dancing hours, delicious punch was served, Jack presiding at the punch- bowl. Even the faculty and their wives, acting as chaperons, declared this to be one of the jolliest dances of the year. i m m m FRESHMAN DANCE The social spirit of the Freshmen covild not be repressed for a very long time : hardly had the work of the second term really begun, before careful plans were being made for the dance that made the evening of February second pass very happily for some seventy couples. The simple decorations in blue and gray made the large dining hall a pleasing setting for the excellent music and gay dancers. The midnight hour brought a touch of sadness to an occasion that was convincing evidence of the capability of the Freshmen as hosts; the affair ended with everyone hoping that that class would soon prepare an- other social event. RED CROSS DANSANTE Saturday, February sixteenth, was the date chosen for an after- noon dansante given for the bene- fit of the Rice chapter of the Red Cross. Many found amusement at the card tables, while others made proper use of the stirring dance music that did much to enliven the occasion; a feature of the afternoon was the program of musical numbers that gave va- riety to the pleasures of the day. Delicate refreshments in the form of ice cream, cake, and sandwiches were the other element that completed the entire success of the dansante. WASHINGTON ' S BIRTHDAY DANCE The night before George Washington ' s birthday is always the time of a dance; this year, according to custom, the Sopho- more class were hosts at the dance that marked the end of the festivities of the winter season. The only decoration was a huge American ffag which hvmg from the lofty ceiling beams to within a few feet of the floor, forming a happily appropriate background for the uniforms of the R. O. T. C. The white programs embossed with little red hatchets contained the six- teen chapters of a very happy story. The cabaret was an entirely new feature at Institute dances, and everyone simply went wild over the music of the accordeon. m f j i JUNIOR PROMENADE On Friday evening, Ayml twenty-sixth, the Juniors, aided this year by the un- derclassmen, welcomed the Seniors in the Commons at the third annual Junior Prom. Festoons of rainbow color- ed cloth hung from chandeliers, windows, and balcony, while Japanese lanterns shed their soft light on the dancers. Every note of the exceptionally inspiring music was fully appre- ciated by the many gay couples that enjoyed this perfect occasion. Frozen punch of delightful flavor was very refresh- ing during this warm evening of early Spring. Soon after one o ' clock, the merry crowd regretfully left the happy scene, and the last, and one of the most enjoyal)lc social events of the year had become a hap]:)y memory . o g3 m Wi M m S?

And yet the season was the most brilliant the Owls have ever completed. This year the light of battle shines par- ticularly bright around the victory over the Texas Longhoms at Austin — the first in the history of Rice football. That victory almost com- pensates for the loss of the championship, for it marked the downfall of the Texas jinx over Rice on the gridiron. Starting with seven of his last year regulars, se ' eral of the old near- regulars, and a galaxy of new material. Coach Arbuckle, assisted by Jack Coombs, rounded out a team that ranks with the immortal Owl aggregations of previous years. Around the returned veterans, there was grouped the best material that tributary prep and high schools could offer. It had been strongly rumored that football would be taboo at Rice, since military matters were to be given the right-of-way, but the wearers of the blue and gray were not beliind the other teams of the State in warming up as usual. When the term began four squads had been at work for two weeks, this early training was of great benefit to the men who were new at the game. Despite the numerous set backs, the old Rice pep showed itself very early. The schedule was more satisfactorily arranged than in past seasons: in- stead of the big games coming at the very beginning, the team had time to work out the kinks before the hardest battles came. This was no small factor in the outcome of the season. The Texas game was far enough down the list to give us time to get up enough steam for the big push, and the Farmer mixup was slated for the whirlwind finish. On paper, things could not have been better. But for the necessity of the change of signals just before the final game, who knows but that the invincible Owl team, that had been getting better every game, would at last have won the coveted title?

Totals: Rice 197— Opponents 36. I I I McFARLAND. — Captain McFai-iand ;ie ' hi h urth letter as a Rice player when the 1917 season ended. One of the lightest men on the team, Mac -was practically invincible; playing a strenuous game, he was unaffected by the severest punishment. As a guard, he went up against some very hea -y men. but the 145 pounder was all strength, and he never failed to hold his Own. He is in the service now, having left soon after the football season ended. Mac came to Rice from Brownwood, Texas. J i RUDD. — When the final whistle blew at the Thanksgiving game. Charlie Rudd had completed a brilliant college football career. This ended his fourth year with the Owls, and during the four years, he played in nearly every game. As a right end, he was a perfect running mate for Brick, for Rudd was speedy, a reliable tackier, and excellent at receiving passe s. Charlie was an old star on the team of Temple High School. He now wears a Signal Corps uniform. BRICK. — This young chap, who was elected Captain for 1918, was as solid as his name, — and not much larger. He played left end for three years aginst all sorts of opposition, and was almost infallible in defen- sive play. Soon after the Thanksgiving game. Brick reported to the aviation corps, entering the flying branch; if he makes as good an aviator as he did a football man, he will be a worthy asset to Uncle Sam ' s fighting forces. Shirley had his preparatory football experience with the North Fort Worth High School. DORMANT.— Julian lives in Houston, and is a product of Central High. Though he did not have any football experience at High School, Dormant has had three successful years in this sport a t Rice; he is a letter man in basketball as well as in football. At center, he played a good defensive game; he was a fine passer. He developed a good toe, and for three seasons has done a large part of the punting for the Owls. a i I BELL. — Leroy was the only veteran backfield man on the Owl squad at the first of the season, and it was around him that Arbuckle built the speedy machine that worked behind the line. Bell was utility man on the squad of 1916, playing well anywhere in the backfield. This year he began at right half, and be- came indispensable in that position. Without exception, he was the most consistent ground gainer in the State during the season of 1917. Bell came to us from the Central State Normal at Edmond, Oklahoma. I JARVIS. — Dudley Jarvis was one of the bulwarks of the Rice line. In 1916 he made his letter, playing most of the time at guard; this year, as a Sophomore, Jarvis played regularly at right tackle. Dud ' s unfailing good nature and his pepper made him one of the most valuable linemen on the team. Dudley was from Terrell, where he early won a reputation in High School athletics. E. H. McFARL VND.— This brother of the Captain was ful! of the same fight and pep; starting out as second string end, he rendered such efficient service in many games that he won full recognition, and was awarded a football R for the second time. Like the other Mac, he hails from Brownwood, where he won football fame in the High School class. GREEN. — George Green played left tackle, and was all-state material. The members of the Owl team might well have had a habit of saying: Let George do it; when it came to defensive work, George ' s ability was as good as has been seen on Rice field for many a day. At all times playing with his jaws set, George was first or second man in on ever ' tackle made by the Owls. In 1916 he played with the Owlets. Green breezed into Rice from the Alamo City. m Ki m m mi . . HEATH.— The secondary charge at right half was this young chap, Hal Heath, and he had a charge like a champagne bottle — he was hard to hold down. Heath showed up especially well in the Haskell game, scoring a pretty touchdown against the Redskins. He is a Freshman, and it is hoped that the Owls will see him do some more nice work in the years to come. Before he came here, Heath had some prep school football experience in Corpus Christi. I JARRELL. — A. J. Jarrell worked at quarterback, and played a considerable part in nearly every game- Though he was the midget of the squad, A. J. filled a large place; his 130 pounds belonged to a very swift and heady player. Jarrell was another of the fast Freshmen that Arbuckle trained for his backfield. Be- fore coming to Rice, Jarrell played quarter at Terrell School, on the team that took prep school honors last year. Wl ■ i I KENNEDY. — Still another of the array of Freshman backfield material evolved by Coach Arbuckle. Kennedy did most of the fullback work for the Owls this season; his strong point was passing the ball, and he was wonderfully good in this line. Kennedy and Rudd formed about as good a pass combination as Rice has ever had. Kennedy came with a football reputation from the West Texas Military Academy. LINDSEY. — The find of the season, Marion Lindsey was acclaimed, and well did he merit the de- scription. Speedy and elusive, sensational gains were his usual productions; he was instinctively a foot- ball man — and his instinct was carefully developed. His fame as a track man when he represented Timp- son High had gone before him: but the interesting thing about Lindsey here, is that he never saw a foot- ball game until he entered Rice — this sounds incredible, if one knows the wonders that he performed on the gridiron. I MIDDLETON.— Wayne Middleton was the lightweight of the squad (weighing 195), his featherlike- quaHties aiding him in his playing at guard-. He was a hard worker at all times — as evidenced by his testimony that he lost IS pounds in the Texas game — and from his cherubic countenance there was never absent that wide grin. Wayne had some experience with the Owlets of 1916, coming into the Owlet posi- tion from the High School team of Eagle Lake. I m NASH. — Regular at the quarterback position was Paul Nash, a valued Freshman product of Rusk Acad- emy. A cool head full of football playing caused Nash ' s generalship to be a prominent part in every Rice football game. Nash had a wonderful knack of making long returns of the ball on punts: it was seldom that he did not wriggle on for continued gains until several opposing tacklers brought him down. Wi SULLIVAN. — Troy Bullet Sullivan was just like his middle name. He was like a 42-centimeter gun, if one could get him pointed in the right direction he was sure to gain; charging with head down, he made the enemy work hard to bring him to the ground. Sullivan reported for football somewhat late, but he had time enough to be in such form that he was a terror to the Longhorns. In his High School days this young Hibernian used to buck heads with the teams that opposed Temple High. m m TIPS. A very valuable man from Houston High, where he made a name for himself on the grid. Equally good at guard or tackle, he was of much importance to the Owls; his drop kicks could usually be counted on to score. When the dust of a play cleared away. Gus could generally be seen getting ofT the man who carried the ball; or, if the play was offensive, he nearly always forced a hole in the opposing line. i ■i M TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY With more than a desire to win their first game of the season, the Owls welcomed the eleven from T. C. U. to the Rice Field on October 13. The memory of a 7-7 tie the past j ' ear still lingered in the minds of the players: that 26-0 hand-out was ample revenge. The Horned Frogs were rather skittish about placing such a blank sheet on the very bottom of their season ' s hope box, but the Owls were determined to make the de-horning complete. This first game showed that the Owls had much to learn about football, but it showed that the material was good. In the back field Bell was working beside two new men, Kennedy and Lindscy. Kennedy einehcd his shingle by the accuracy of his terrific forward passing. Lindscy covered himself with bruises in the endeavor to carry his end of the game, — the first in which he had ever figured. The beginning of the wonderful work of the Owl line was seen. With a little more work together it was the terror of the opposing State elevens before the season was very old. AUSTIN COLLEGE From the start the Owl defense got in its deadly work against the Austin College eleven. Time after time unsuccessful attempts were made to go through the Owl line but most of the attempts ended with loss of ground. In a desperate effort to make first down at least once before the game was sewed up, the old style play was resorted to. One time the Owls let a man get away for the allotcd distance. The 53-0 finish looked good for the hopes of Rice, for the visitors were a husky bunch. All was not perfect in the Owl offensive for the backs were still wobbly. Some second string men were sent in to show what they could do, and worked almost as well as the regulars. The fact began to develop from this game that Rice had two teams almost equally matched in every waj ' . In several of the positions it seemed to matter little which of two men played, — so much good material was there at hand. m m i I i TEXAS UNIVERSITY A flavor formerly untasted by any Owl eleven — roasted beef of the Texas Longhorn style — was served the team from Rice on the afternoon of October 27. The fact that this same feast was cooked on the Texans ' own gridiron made the eating more joyous. Who can forget that our own Owls won from Texas that day after a long three-year wait, and during the game not a Texan crossed our goal line for a point! That 13-0 victory stands unrivalled as the most momentous happening of the 1917 football season. Who can pine over the loss of the championship, when the Texas jinx is broken forever? i The game with Texas was played-ovcr a hundred times in the minds of the Owl supporters before the day of the battle came. Weeks were spent in preparation, and when the day dawned clear and bright, over four hundred Owl boosters were in possession of the Capitol City. This monster demonstration up town paved the way for the bigger demonstra- tion which the team gave on Clark Field in the afternoon. Hopes ran high, and confidence in the team grew as these lo -al rooters took their places in the stands opposite the Texas support. It has been said that the cheering in the Owl section was the best ever heard on Clark Field. All the warmth of the welcome given us was reflected in those yells, and not alone the good plays made by an Owl, but those of the Texas fighters were acknowledged alike, with all the vim and force that Rice could find. The Owls made history that day! The defense was brilHant, for attack after attack made tipon it was turned back. Not a hole along the line ' s entire length gave hope to the Longhorn plunges. Only one first down on ground play was permitted. And on the offensive : the wonderful Owl machine that had been in the making seemed that day to have reached perfection. The Texas eleven was bewildered with the attack of those fast, elusive Rice backs. Eighteen first downs were made. The brilliant open field running of the backfield men was the big feature of the game. Early in the fourth period, 30 yards of hard-fought consistent gains through the line carried the ball to within 4 yards of the Texas goal — and Bell went over for the first Rice touch-down ever scored against a Longhorn eleven; soon after, the score was made 13-0, and Rice had made the outcome certain. The victory will never lose its virgin halo, for it marks the beginning of the Owl supremacy in Texas athletics. S M HASKELL INDIANS The Indian visit was a real treat to the hundreds of Rice supporters. The sure enough Redskins created quite a sensation in local circles, but before the day had passed, the Owls had plucked their golden Ipumage, and had silenced the savage war whoops. The 55-13 drubbing admin- istered by the Owls was enough to cool the most ardent of spirits. The spirit of true sportsmanship that has always been attached to the name of Rice was again brought to light in this game. Twice an Indian end played far out near the side lines for a long forward pass, his purpose obvious to the people in the stands, and twice he was allowed to make the play without warning from the stands. The first netted a touch- down, the first against the Owls during the season, but the second was broken up for a loss. Beginning rather cautiously, the Owls found the openings in the Indian defense, and shook off the maiden timidness. The style of the Indian ' s play was different, with those slashing arms continually moving, but the m K I bluff was called very effectively. Haskell used the long lateral pass, which was the best demonstration of aerial attack seen here during the season. The chances of intercepting the passes were numerous after the Owls began to plough through the opponent ' s line. A great deal of ground was gained on these intercepted passes. The coming of the Indians marks the widening of Rice influence : in the future she will have a big part in determining the destinies of Southern athletics. SOUTHWESTERN The Pirate sloop was in Houston only a day or so, but in that short time the bewhiskered gentlemen destroyed the carefully made plans that the Owls had laid for the capture of the elusive championship. The black mark beside the name of the Georgetwon eleven will remain a long time in the hearts of the Owls who saw in their visit the losing of a certain victory late in the season. Armed with the Owl signals and even a complete knowledge of every Owl play, these youngsters almost took the Owls in for a defeat. That 34-13 victory for our team docs not tell the complete story of the fight that was made that afternoon to uphold our string of unbroken victories. It took all of the old Rice spirit to go through a line that knew where each man would come, and across a line that was waiting for the play even before the ball had been snapped. The victory tastes sweeter for the reason that it upset the designs of a carefully laid plan to snake us out of our hopes for the pennant. w El TULANE Armed for every eventually, the Owls steamed into New Orleans on the morning of November 17, right in the midst of the carnival fete. The plan of attack was to meet Tulane in the afternoon and enjoy the rest of the day in the pleasures of the carnival. When the game was over few of the men were able to partake of the wines of happiness, for there were bruises to nurse. Despite the heavy casualties, the Owls took the game 16-0. The contest was held in the center of the fair park, and between dodging airplanes and fighting Louisianans, the Owls enjoyed the afternoon rather well. Tulane used the same shift that she employed the year before with about the same luck, for it was not the first time the Owls had been up against that style during the season. With an untiring offense and a defensive that knew no yielding, the men of Rice were not to be denied; they played football, and came home ready to go after the Aggies in the last game of the year. The manner in which the Owls took the scrapping over at Tulane made them look good for anything that the Farmers might spring. m i s a? i- BUTTCn cmiu hor t, _is fmm m om i mm f BEflll mcK TINY S LARK WHMig ' wrimH flmc m c { PS66Y ERKCY T ianou. ,TiA lU iLyj THE SEASON ' S SCORES January 18-19 — At Houston Rice 33, Southwestern 14.

There was but one way for the decision to fall, when the Owls finished a mediocre season by besting both Texas and A. M. in the final games. Those four games tiu-ned the trick, and for the first time in the short history of Rice athletics, a stire enough championship with all the necessary trimmings, has been added to the long string of near-supremacies. The start of the season was not as encouraging as might be expected of a team that came out on top. The fault seemed to lie in the style of play instead of the material, for the make-up of the squad was wisely chosen. The early games seemed to lack the punch that goes with well developed team work. Something was clearly lacking, even though the men were working harder to eliminate the ragged playing than on the form of the plays. A few days after the return of the squad from the road trip that looked Hke a disastrous venture, a new man at Rice, Tisdale, took a hand in the training, assisted by Tomfohrde. Owl Cap- tain of ' 17. Too much credit can not be given to Coach Tisdale for the results he got out of the players after he took charge. Beginning with the very fundamentals of the game, he turned out a five that had all the old individual brilliancy, with something more. This last ingredient — team work — won the championship for Rice. It was rather risky work to tear down the results that had already been accomplished, l:)ut he took the chance and won. The team that was formed around Captain Kingsland bid fair to equal those of previous years that put Rice on the map. Con,sistency and individual initiative combined gave to us our first undisputed championship. We will always honor these men who gave this cherished victory to Rice. SOUTHWESTERN The first two games of the season showed that the Owls had more than the ordinary amount of abihty. vSouthwestern appeared on the local court to give the Owls their first step in the direction of the dizzy pin- nacle. The first of the games was a hard fought battle, with our team working hard to get the 33 to 14 victorj . It looked as if the visitors were determined to get a rally started, for attempts were made several times to overcome the Owl lead. The work of Taliaferro kept the score low for he persistently stepped between the Pirate forwards and the basket to cut off sure scores. On most of these exploits he captured the ball and brought it down into home territory. Dodge came into the limelight with the beginning of his terrific runs the entire length of the field that marked every game in which he figured. The second contest was an easier victory for the Owls. Some of the i 1 1 i WA 11 w H m. timidncss had been worn off. This time the score was 5-4 to 19. The pre-season form showed up -cll. There was a strong semblance of team work that kept the lead safe for the Owls from the start. While these two games were expected to result as they did, both Owl ' ictories, yet they indicated the kind of work to expect in the harder games that followed. A. M. TRIP Tlie first road trip which the Owls took resulted rather badly. A fifty- fifty split with A. J l. was the best we could do, but in the course of the scrimmaging, Dodge received a badh ' sprained ankle which kept him out of several games. Both of these games were •ery hard fought and were not decided until the last moment of play. Either team could have tal-:cn the lead both nights by tossing a couple of baskets. The first contest went to Rice 18 to 14, but the Owls were not so successful the second night. The Aggies duplicated the Owl feat of winning by a four-i)oint margin, this time the talhcs were 25 and 21, against the Owls. The floor at College Station was smaller than the Owls were accustomed to playing on, and it was hard for them to keep in bounds. It was on one of the long runs along the side line that a husky Farmer tossed Dodge into the wall. The play was fast despite the handicap, and the loss of the second game stirred the Owls to greater efforts in the return games in Houston. TEXAS UNIVERSITY A double tragedy was enacted when the Longhorns entered the favorite roosting place of the Owls, namely, the City Auditorium. The Texas aggregation hit Houston at the inost inopportune time possible for the Owls. The week before Dodge had received the hurt that kept him on the side lines both nights, and in addition to this, Kingsland was sick. This hole was too large to caulk up even though the youngsters that took the vacant places kept working the pumps all the time. The second game might have resulted differently with more experienced men on the court, for the Owls held the lead during the second half up to the last minute of play. The loss of the second contest made the hopes of coming out on top for the season very slim. Exceptionally good work was required during the remainder of the season to overcome the loss of the two Texas games. The first score, 28 to 16, was a pretty bad shake up for the Owls. Despite tlie hard fight put up, it was a losing battle from the beginning. The second contest came as an agreeable surprise to the Rice support, for tlie 32 to 25 tally showed the possibihties of the team with half the regu- lars out. This contest was marked by the return to form of several of the Owls that bad shown a decided reversal the night before. The thought of getting revenge in the Longhorns ' own back yard was the onlv consoUng feature of these two losses. M i KINGSLAND.— Ding fulfilled all of the hopes placed in hira this season. After cap- tain-elect Delia Valle left school, Kingsland was given the unanimous choice of the cap- taincy. In every game he was the most dan- gerous man on the offensive. In most cases one of the opponents was assigned the difficult task of guarding Ding. Despite the fact that he was never free, he seldom failed to get away long enough to drop in a few baskets. His long shots from mid-field were a feature of every contest. Kingsland led the first championship basketball team that Rice has ever had. DODGE. — Every ounce a fighter, Deorile carried the most terrific punch of all the Owls When the ball was in his hands, there was certain gain. His lightning getaway brought the ball out of dangerous territory when a slower man would have been snowed under. A severe sprain kept him out of a few of the games, when his presence was badly needed. Off days were unknown to Dodge for he was always at his best. Elected Captain for 1919, Deedle will be a very valuable man to Rice unless he joins the many other Rice athletes who have answered the call of the nation. BAYLOR For the first time in two years the Baylor Bears and Owls met face to face on a local court. The results of the duels were entirely satisfactory to the Owls. Coach Tisdale had taken a hand in the Owl training after the Texas disasters, and with the help of Tomfohrde, had produced a rejuvenation that made the Owls look like another team. The old style of everything for the individual had been replaced by an exhibition of the prettiest team work seen on the local courts up to that time. Ding was back in the harness working with his old time accuracy, and Dodge took a few moments of the last half to work the soreness out of his foot. To Timmons belongs the honor of raising the Owl side of the score out of possible danger. Those two victories were certainly a big help to the fainting Owls. The first ended 52 to 21 and the second 53 to 20, both in favor of the Owls. There was a great improvement in the plav- ing of the Owls. Although the Bears fought hard all the time, superior attacking and defending broke down their hopes early. It looked as though a new team was in the field for the Owls, such a change had been made. Pep and driving power featured the new style of playing. Not once did the Baylor Bear have a chance to grunt with satisfaction for he was getting the worst of the fighting all the time. A couple of wins at this time meant much to the awakened Owls, for it placed them in the running again. S. M. U. Without a doubt, the two contests between Southwestern Methodist and Rice were the hardest fought dviring the season up to the advent of the Methodists upon the local court. Old Man Hard Luck seemed to camp on the trail of the Owls during this first game in which the Metho- dists won by a margin of nine points in a 32 to 23 score. This game featured the worst breaks of luck that the Owls had been up against. Shot after shot went just a trifle to the side of the basket or rolled around the hoop a couple of times only to drop on the wrong side. The same kind of breaks attended the seemingly sure shots right under the goal posts. The second game marked the return of the balance of a kind fate in favor of the Owls. The result of this second affair looked quite well, although the lead was only five points at the end. That 35 to 30 victory was the hardest scrap to win of all. The Methodists were about evenly matched with the Owls and played with about the same skill. An even break of the series was a satisfactory outcome of these gruelling battles. TEXAS TRIP Particularly sweet was the double victory over Texas just before the two final games of the season. The Longhorns received the Owls at Austin with the news that they had it all doped out to take the brace of contests just to make their claim for the pennant certain. Up to that time Texas could justly say that her chances for the pinnacle were the most valid of any of the three leading teams. The results of the first Win I m fm DORMANT. — The most skeptical were clear- ly convinced that Dormant had the real stuff this year. His playing showed the old reliable driving force that goes with his powerful phy- sique. While sensational at times, he was in the running every minute of play, never miss- ing a chance to add a point to the score. This was with out a doubtDormant ' s best year in athletics. BROWN.— Although he showed up well dur- ing the earlier training, Brown was not given a chance to show his mettle until the season was half gone. When he made his appearance, it was to remain, for he showed a wonderful playing ability from his initial contest. He soon hit a stride that kept the opposition out of the running. Brown had real basketball n his system, as is shown by the small scored of the teams he played against. rjL m ' ik I m WM H night made their beautifully laid plan look rather muddy. But when the Owls took the second game, the Longhorns ' last hope was gone. History of the immortal kind was made in Austin those two days. It took more than mere playing to take the wind out of the Texans ' sails after they had registered a double ' ictory over the Owls here a few weeks previously. It meant that every ounce of man was put into the game by five of the best players Riee has ever produced. The first night the score was 40 to 36, but the second night was not such an easy win. That 31 to 27 defeat given Texas was at all stages of the game in doubt. Time after time the two scores were about equal. The Owls had hard work to get around the baskets for the Longhorn guarding was perfect. The goals that were thrown were made at great distances. The breaks of luck were about evenly divided for both teams were making shots that could have easily gone astray. Weeks of careful preparation gave the Owls a slight margin due to the superiority of the style of playing Coach Tisdale had been teaching his men. Real basketball playing ga -e the Owls the longed for revenge for the double defeat sus- tained in Houston. Quarter was not asked nor given, for both teams were playing with the best men the season had developed. It was just too much Owl, and thus runs the story of the second downfall in one year of the Longhorns at the hands of the Owls. A. M. There was no other way out, the Owls jvist had to ha ' c both of the games with A. M. when the Fanners came down here. The champion- ship depended upon it, and our boys delivered. It was no easy matter, however, for the Farmers were also fighting for the leadership — over the Owls — for their chances for the championship of the Southwest Con- ference were already lost. It was good to see the Farmers lose out after they had taken the football honors from Rice just a few months before. The two games with A. M. were the last of the season, and it was necessary for the Owls to take l.ioth contests to make the claims for the championship undisputable. The first night we won 27 to 26. The Farmers said that it would be impossible to do it again the next night, so we accordingly took them at their word and administered another dose of the same kind of medicine the second night, only this score was a little more decisive than the first. This time the points stood 29 to 21 in the Owl favor. This championship is the first of its kind ever brought down to place in the Rice trophy case. Never before had an Owl team gone through a whole season victoriously. Several times Rice has figured in disputed or tied claims for the honor, but this time there was nothing to mar a perfectly clear title. No other team in the Conference had anything that looked like a claim to the pinnacle. And who made it possible? Seven stars, the old Rice fighting pep, loval support of the entire student body — and Coach Tisdale. TALIAFERRO.— Smiling Dick was the find of the basket- ball season. Although a new man at Rice, he was given a place on the squad from the beginning. When most of the regulars were unable to be in the game, Dick carried the brimt of the attack. Fast on his feet, and heavy enough to follow the ball, Dick played on both ends of the field when he was not playing in the middle. Guarding was his position, but he registered in the scoring during each game. He was touted as the best guard in tlie State, with all the evidence in his favor. TIMMONS. — Houston product, made his debut in college basketball in an Owl uniform. Timmonscame to Rice with an enviable high school record to uphold. His accuracy was a sensation. Most of the Owl points were scored by this lanky youngster. He shifted to center at times and filled Kingsland ' s shoes very well. He was not guarded as closely as some of the other Owls but showed that the opponents made a big mistake when they gave him a free hand. It was his long shot scoop- ed up from the floor during the last minute of play that won the first contest with A. M. Timmons has a big future during the next three years at Rice. WILSON. — This Freshman got his start on the football field and carried some of the same fighting spirit into his basket- ball playing. He was one of the hardest fighters that we had for he followed the ball all the time. He made personal fouls often, but it was due to his scrapping for the ball. It was im- possible to guard him for he was never in the same spot a minute. He was never afraid to dig into a bigger man, which made him very effective in all of the games. BALL THE BASEBALL SEASON X l ' .)17 the Owls had tlie best baseball season the Institute has ever seen. In 1916 the showing made by the diamond squad was very discoviraging, but last year the fates were with the cause of the blue and gray, and an excellent team saw Rice through a very s iccessful year in baseball. When the season started, there were 24 games on the schedule and the Owls began in a nice fashion by taking one from the Farmers. From then on, though five games were lost, every contest was hard fought. Eight games ■cr e won and one tied, the Owls finally finishing with a record of .61.5 in the State race, thus taking second rank among the teams of the State. The final games found the Owls going with a good stride, but the declara- tion of war and the attendant confusion had thrown all athletic schedules awry. Many colleges athletes went into training for army service within thirty days after war was declared. Following the lead of Northern schools, the colleges of Texas cancelled what remained of their schedules after about the first of May. One feature of the season was the good work done by the Freshman pitchers. Atkinson won three out of three games, and Butler won three out of four. But the particular thing to remark on this season ' s Owl team was the hitting ability possessed by most every member of the squad. Good swatters on an 0 - -1 team were therefore as scarce as the dental organs of the proverbial fowl. With six players batting over .250 the team was a vast improvement on any team the Owls had pos- sessed at any time before. Had the war not cut the schedule it is likely that these swatters would have clouted out a championship for Rice. m mm m THE A. M. SERIES The Owls started the season off well when they put one o -er the Farmers, 8-7. x lways fearful of Farmer victo.ries, the Owls overtook a two-run lead in the ninth inning in order to pass the Aggies. The new Freshman material was given a chance to show what it could do in this game, and the exhibition was highly pleasing. Potts and Jackson figured promi- nently in the scoring. Jabbo Hathorn did some beautiful moundwork, striking out 16 of the opposing batsmen, and giving but a very few walks. Hathorn started the winning ralh ' in the ninth with a clean single. The second game of the series was fought fourteen rounds without a decision. Darkness stopped the game at the close of the fourteenth frame with the score standing at 7-7. Atkinson and Butler, a pair of Freshman pitchers, were used in the game. Butler in particular, made a good appearance. He let the Aggies down with but three hits in the nine innings he pitched. i m CHANDLER (Captain), catcher.— By nature and previous training. Olney was a third baseman and a very good one. This year, however. Rice needed a man behind the bat. and Olney responded, — with the result thai his fourth year on the Owls was as successful as any of the other three. He was a good leader, and no man Rice has had played more baseball above the shoulders. HATHORN, pitcher.— Jabbo had his third good year in an Owl uniform. That mighty left arm was an instrument of terror to the opposing batters: the ball had everything on it. and was hard to hit. He fielded his position perfectly and was a good hitting pitcher. In the pinches his work was al- ways spectacular. HODGES, fir t base.— -punk did wonderful things at the Owl first sack: just let another in- fielder get the ball coming toward Punk, and the man at first was sure to be out. He wasn ' t made to move fast, but he was usually as fast as neces- sary. Punk was a very good natured hitter, and made several hits during the season. T. O. HEYWOOD, left field.— An old man with a head full of good baseball knowledge. Owen covered several acres around the left side of the field, and when he threw a ball in, it always went where it was most needed. He was perfectly at home in the aggregation of hard hitters, and greatly helped the Owls ' batting record. THE T. C. U. SERIES T. C. U. seems to have the Rice combination for they seldom fail to give the Owls a fit whenever athletic teams from the two schools meet. In this series the Christians took the first game in fine fashion, 5-2. Two port-siders worked against each other in this contest. Hathron having to buck up against one of his left-handed brethren. The Preachers ' slabman seemed to have just a bit the best of it. Jabbo allowed the Christians but seven hits. Freshman Jim Potts ' big stick played a prominent part in this contest. In the second game the Owls came out victorious after a hot clash. Butler pitched a good game, allowing but s even hits, and keeping these well scattered. The Owls secured but five safe blows, but the hits were close together, and with a few costly errors on the Christians ' side, the Owls made their licks count for more. Bradley, playing shortstop, was seen, bv his work in this game, to be one of the season ' s best finds. I THE D. NIEL BAKER SERIES The team of Daniel Baker met something that was a bit too strong for them when they went up against the Owls in a two-game series. The first contest was taken by the Owls to the very rollicking tune of 17-3. Three homers were gathered by the hard hitting Owls. Potts and Jack- son got a pair of clean homers while Vance stretched what was really a good single into a four-base blow. The second contest went to the Owls by the lopsided score of 10-6. More vicious work with the willow mixed with some good pitching by the left-handed Hathom was too much for the visitors. Almost all of the six runs garnered bv Daniel Baker were due to infield bobbles. K ' m mm f. THE TEXAS SERIES The Owls seemed to be sweeping everything before them until they came to lock horns with the Longhorns. Disaster befell the Owls. A brace of games were dropped to the Texans, although both were hard fought and went to the Longhorns by the narrow margin of one point. These two games were the first played on the trip away from home, and the Freshmen on the team may have lacked some of the hard steadiness that comes with a wider experience. The initial affair went in favor of Texans 6-5, due to a slight superiority on the bases and at the bat, though each team made six hits. The second was won by Texas 3-2. The game was a pitchers ' duel be- tween Hathorn and his opponent, Sellers Thomas, who won his own game by a two-bagger in the seventh. I i Wk ATKINSON, pitcher.— A first-year man. Atty was a most valuable addition to the Owl team. A cool head, plenty of stuff and speed on the ball, and a disposition to work hard at all times made him a wonder in the pitchers box. Besides pich- ing a good game he fielded very well, and secured a hit now and then. BONNER, third base. — When a batter knocked to Bonner he usually went back to the bench. This Freshman handled everything that came near third; he was fast and accurate. Though not at the ver ' top of the batting list, he hit regularly and was a very valuable man in every phase of the game. m BRADLEY, short-stop.— The fast little Fresh- man, he was called, and well did he deserve the description. Every ounce a baseball playei, he was mostly short-stop and hitter. His fielding was Etartlingly accurate: at the bat. he brought sur- prise and grief to the hearts of many opposing pitchers. BUTLER, pitcher.— ' Dick had the whole team working with him every time he went into the box, and he invariably produced results. His coolness and his unfailing pep did much to make him a successful pitcher. He was another Freshman, win- ning his baseball R, considerable glory, and favor with the ladies — all in his first year. THE PIRATE SERIES The brace of contests played at Georgetown with the boys of South- western was split between the two teams. The Owls took the first, 6-2; but the Pirates did the come-back stunt in the second and carried off the honors, 10-6. In the first game the Owls smothered two Pirate pitchers in a fusilade of hits, swatting out 12 safe ones. In the second game the Owls had to use two pitchers to try to stem the tide, but the boys back of the Jolly Roger insisted on boarding the good ship Owl and making off with the spoils. Another dozen safe blows were collected by the slugging Owls, but the Pirates gathered an equal num- ber and made better use of them. THE BAYLOR SERIES The Owls closed the season by being hosts to the Bears for a pair of games. Several other contests remained on the schedule, but the war caused athletic schedules all over the country to be cancelled. In the first game Rice outhit and outfielded the Bears, but it seemed as if luck favored the Bruins. Anyway, after twelve exciting rounds they dragged down the long end of .5-3 score. Extra innings were again necessary in the second game with the Bears. The affair rocked on into the fourteenth frame before either team was able to score. This game was famous for the wonderful game pitched by the Freshman slabman, Butler. He let the Bears have but two hits, both singles. For the first 12 of the 14 innings, he held the visitors ab- solutely hitless. The only run of the game came when Bradley, of the Owls, trippled in the fourteenth, and scored on a long fly by Vance. This game was probably the best ever played on the Rice diamond. THE SECOND SERIES WITH SOUTHWESTERN The Owls had a hard time downing the Pirates in the Houston series played with Southwestern. The first was finally won, 7-6. The visiting pitcher held the Owls to five hits, and the home team made this quintet of safeties, with the help of several costly bobbles by the Pirate squad, count for seven tallies. Atkinson hurled for the Owls, holding the visi- tors safely in the pinches. Again in the second game the Owls had difficulty in capturing the Pirates ' goat. Rice finally emerged on top on account of the vigorous slugging done by several members of the team. Butler, who did the moundwork for the Owls, came near losing his game several times, but in each in- stance he was able to come out of the hole. i?5 i I i m S fe i JACKSON, center field. — Hardy was a sure thing in center field, if he had ever made an error the Owls would have put on mourning. A big man. he was powerful with the bat. and long hits were his specialty. On the bases, he was a robber, — he took one base after another, whether he was entitled to them or not. POTTS, utility. — Freshman Jim could do any- thing but pitch, and he was good at everything he tried. With the big stick, he won fame for himself by leading the batting order. Jim had plenty of power and a good baseball head. To say that he was as brilliant in this sport as he was in football is to say the most possible. I I VANCE, second base. — A Freshman who had al- ready won letters brilliantly in football and basket- ball, put on the baseball uniform and made good in that. too. He was a sure and fast fielder and covered a lot of ground around second. He was a mighty man with the stick, and knew how to run the bases after he was on.

In this sport it had been customary for us to have Httle good material, and to string along behind the other teams in nearly every meet. This year, however, the story was different: in spite of the loss of two or three of the best track men Rice had ever developed, there were at the beginning of the season several of the old reliable point winners; in addition to these, there was the most notable collection of new track athletes that e ' er came to the Owls in one year. Working with a large squad, the coaches produced the best results that ccmld have been hojjcd for. and this track season marked the triumphant rise of the blue and gray in the only college sport in which the supremacy of Rice had not alreadv been shown. I ' ' THE TRIANGULAR MEET The teams of Texas University. Texas A. M., and Rice contested on the Rice Field on April 7 in one of the prettiest track exhibitions that has been seen in Houston. Though only one record was broken for the day, the work in ever} ' event was very good. In the broad jump. Hink- Icy. Rice Freshman, bested the State record by four inches when he jumped 21 feet 11 inches. Jackson, another new man, was high point winner for the meet, taking .second in the 100, the 220, and the pole vault, and third in the shot put and discus throw. Kingsland divided first honors in the high jump with Simmons, of Texas, both men being rather below usual form at .5 feet Sij inches. Carr and Bienski, of Rice, were clearly superior to anything ekse in the mile run, taking first and second places respectively; Carr also drew second place in the javelin throw. The 440 was easilv captured in a very pretty race by Dowell, a new mjan of the Owls who is destined to be of much further value to Rice on the cinders. Texas won first place safely in the meet, while Rice took second with a clear lead over A. M. Jt THE T. I. A. A. MEET In the T. I. A. A. meet at Waxahachie on May 4, Rice was supreme over all: with entries in twelve out of thirteen events, the Owls took eleven fi-rst places, winning the meet by a large margin. Kingsland couldn ' t be touched in the high jump, winning the event at 5 feet 10 inches; Dowell easih- took first in the quarter; Bienski won both the mile and the lalf-mile; the javelin throw went to Colston; Hinkley placed first in the bread jump; Milburn tied for first in the pole vault. Jackson, the most si3cctacular track man in the State, was again high point winner for the day, taking first in the 100, the 220, the shot put, and the discus throw, — the only events which he entered. The call for men to join the colors took so many men from all the colleges that athletic events for the remainder of the season were cancelled after this meet. As far as the season went. Rice was brilUantly successful and improving all the time, — perhaps with a few more weeks and another meet or two, the Owls could have attained their first State supremacy in track. i THE TRACK TEAM KINGSLAND (Captain). — In his two years on the Owl track, Captain Kingsland has very rarely been forced to use all of his energy and ability in order to win his event. He is acknowledged the premier high jumper of the State. In the T. I. A. A. meet he easily bested his competitors and duplicated his 1916 record of 5 feet 10 inches. GARR. — This miler was a sure point winner for the Owls, having broken the State record in 191.5. The first 1917 meet showed him in his old form, he taking first place over Texas and A. Sz M. Carr also entered the javelin-throw, winning second place in this event at the triangular meet. GEORGE. — Just how Alec managed to get over the ground and also clear the hurdles for 220 yards in good time is somewhat of a puzzle. It was probably nerve as much as anything else that enabled him to develop the ability required to compete favorably in both his events: the 220 hurdles and the relay race. JACKSON. — Best all- ' round athlete in the State was well used to describe this first year man. Devoting most of his time to baseball, Jackson entered the triangular meet with practically no training, — and was high point man for the day. In the T. I. A. A. meet he was again individual honor man with first place in the 100-yard dash, 220- yard dash, shot-put, and discus throw; all the events which he entered. M HINKLEY. — The broad-jump was a rather doubtful prospect for the Owls until the first meet. After that a first place in this event was safe for this Freshman. By a jump of 21 ' 11 ' Hinkley set a new State record, probably to stand for a numlicr of years to come. He was not beaten in any meet. DOWELL. — The Freshman class produced another first place man in Dowell. His race in the triangular meet was the prettiest of the day: good time and perfect form. His quarter of the relay was proljably the most spectacular feature of the race. BIENSKI. — After a preliminary run, before season, the track coaches knew they had a strong miler, Bienski. This man had great endurance and ran an extremely steady race. In the three-cornered meet he placed second in the mile and half-mile, and in the T. I. A. A. won first in these events. He was also a strong entry in the relay. MILBURN. — Milburn was the Owl entry in the pole-vault in the T. I. A. A. meet, but was not on the team earlier in the season. In this event he competed successfully on several occasions, and in the T. I. A. A. meet, split the points for first and second place with Trinity. I COLEMAN. — The Owls were always sure of a good showing in the half-mile with Bienski and Coleman as entries. Coleman never failed to run a good race, often making it possible for his team-mate to win. He placed in the T. I. A. A. meet, winning a letter in his first collegiate season.

Washing rice before using hurts its cooking quahty — takes a good deal of the strength away, too. That s why buIk-nce can t ever cook so flaky as Comet; because bulk-nce must be washed. Other rices, even when kept clean, need washing, because they are given an artificial coating of talc and glucose for protection — and that must come off first. There is no such coating on Comet — Sterilization gives tar better protection. Try Comet Natural Brown Rice, too — has a delicious full flavor, and is the most nutritious ol all forms oi rice.
