In this book will be included society, organizations, dramatics, guests and the various happenings and occasions of interest. There will be an account of the Freshman Ball, the Sophomore Valentine Party, the Junior Prom, and the !Archi-Arts Spanish Ball and the other affairs which have contributed to the pleasures of college life. The Dramatic Club, the distinguished list of guests who have added much to our academic life, and the various organizations neces- sary to student-governed university, will all have their part in this chronicle of the year 1921-1922. THE MAY FETE The ancient custom of a Alay Day cele- bration was revived for the first time on Rice ' s campus in May, 192 1. The royal throne was placed amid the towering trees and scented flowers. Maids in gaily col- ored costumes danced before the royal couple. The May Pole dance, a ceremony of the ancients, was a beautiful vision of fairy maids gaily bedecked, dancing on the soft green grass. Soft spring breezes whis- pered through the trees over the heads of the assembled crowd of merry men and Tu T - J • L i women, full of the joy of the informal I he King and Uueen o the May , r n i • i i • • r i goodfellowship and the spirit of the com- radeship of old friends reunited on the campus. His Majesty, the King, Robert Park Williams, crowned Miss Rosalie Hemp- hill Queen of the May in a very impressive ceremony. Following the corona- tion, the royalty entertained the crowd by having their subjects dance before the throne. The court then had the crowd make themselves at ease and enjoy the refreshments. The gathering made merry until the hour came for the enacting of the pageant. The inagural poem of Henry Van Dyke written for the opening cele- bration of Rice was the theme of the pageant. Ably directed by Stockton Axson and J. W. Slaughter, the poem, Texas, A Democratic Ode. was wonder- fully interpreted by the actors. The foundation of the great State of Texas and the subsequent development to the present day, when the spirit of the past challenges Rice to learn the aim of the new school was all excellently portrayed.

With a touch of sadness, and yet with a heart trembling with ex- pectations, they stood be- fore the Administration Building to receive their coveted degrees. The pride and joy of a task well done was theirs. They were thrilled with the thought of graduation, with the happiness of success and _ -et they were sad with the thought of parting from loved ones, from the build- ings, so cold, yet so warm with memories of happy days. They were bidding good-bye to the care-free life of the student, to the joys and sorrows of college days, but they were proud with the thought that from these halls they were fitted to battle in the turmoil of the business world.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON A sudden hush fell upon the audience when the first strains of mt:sic announced the inspiring academic processional, composed of the members of the faculty, the students in cap and gown, and the trustees, and led by Dr. Lovett and Dr. ' illet, from the corner of the Physics Building to the Adminis- tration Building quadrangle, where was delivered the Baccalaureate Sermon. After the Baccalaureate Songs, the speaker. Dr. Willet, Pro- fessor of Semetic Languages and Literature in the University of Chicago, was introduced. He held his audience interested by his inspiring sermon on the subject of A Faith for the Modern Age. The hundredth Psalm and America were sung and the services were closed by the Benediction pronounced by Dr. Willet. THE GARDEN PARTY Under the canopy in the academic court stood the Class of ' 21, on the after- noon of fune 6, receiving the congratulations of their friends assembled for the annual Garden Party, given by Dr. and Mrs. Lovett for the graduates. The weather was ideal and the happy throngs of guests moved incessantly on the beautiful lawn adjoining the court, where numerous tables were stacked high with inviting refreshments of salads, sandwiches, ices, and cakes. The orchestra seated in the cloisters near- b y rendered beautiful music throughout the after- noon, making the joyous affair even mor perfect. ,.• • !, •iv • ,. a N ; i ' ' L ' 5?:- • y V.

The Academic procession, hymn Veni Creator Spiritus and the In- vocation preceded the Commencement ad- dress. As Dr. Charles William Elliot. Presi- dent Emeritus o f Harvard University was unable to be present, his address w a s read by Dr. Tsanoff. A very won- derful treatise it was on the subject of American Education Since the Civil War. The address was in- terrupted by rain and was continued in the faculty chamber. The change in the pro- gram did not daunt the stirring hearts of the graduates as they stepped forth to re- ceive the long coveted degree with all the duties, rights and privileges appertain- ing thereunto, and nine of the graduates had the honor of re- ceiving theirs with distinction or hon- iS BBnmnRi BrT wiiiu • :- ...iw • -..uv V ;:.rtW« yy;.;. vy if.r-. ' luv: •• ' , DEDICATION OF AUTRY HOUSE Immediately following the Bac- calaureate Services on Sunday morning, June 5, 1921, a form of service for the laying of the corner stone of Autry House was held on the grotmd opposite the Insti- tute. Autry House is a memorial to James Lockhart Autry and pre- sented to the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Texas by Mrs. James Lockhart Autry, James Lockhart Autry, Jr., and AUie Alay Autry, for a Community House to be used and enjoyed by the student body and Faculty of Rice Institute. The memorial services were held by Rev. Harris ] Iasterson, Jr., Head of Autry House, and the music was under the direction of Mrs. H. AI. Garwood. After hymns, readings, and prayers, the corner stone was laid by James Lock- hart Autry, Jr., of the Rice Class of 1921, with these words, In the faith of Jesus Christ we place this corner stone in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Amen. Addresses were made by Rev. Harris Masterson, Mr. C. H. Atkinson, Rice 10-21, and Rev. Peter Gray Sears. Prayers were read and the services closed with a hvnm. -.ri- ' -ft .rflh ;.. !%« :• ; yv .-.: : ' ' iy: ' : ' :. yf i ' y i: ' : Mr. Master son Mrs. Blake THE AUTRY HOUSE ITS SERVICE TO RICE The Autrj ' House presents a marvel of di- versit) ' . It combines the functions of a mission, a cafeteria, a canteen, a reading room, a dance floor, and a general rendezvous for Rice stu- dents. ] Irs. Eugene Blake is the mother of the place. vShe supervises the cafeteria phase of the House — is responsible for the enjoyment the students derive from the many delicacies it offers. The to vn students are enabled to obtain very satisfying luncheons at small cost. The duties of executive head of the establishment, and also of tlinister to the Episcopalian students of the school, devolve upon Reverend Harris j las- terson. In proving himself quite a capable manager, he has conducted the affairs of the Autry House on an efficient basis, and has shown himself to be sin- cerely interested in the well-being of all Rice students. Since the day of the housewarming, early in the fall, the Autry House has been in constant demand for parties and student gatherings of all kinds. The Wednesday afternoon and Saturday night dances have come to be two of the most enjoyable phases of the social life of the school. The various organiza- tions have also held quite a number of successful dances, which are described elsewhere in the book. The success of the Dramatic Club is due in large part to the facilities and easy accessibility of the House. These are but a few of the conveniences and services offered by the Autry House — the many needs of the campus which it has filled are too numerous to mention. This most enjoyable gift of ] Irs. Autry may be freely said to be the best thing that has happened to Rice since its foundation.

COLLEGE NITE The Freshman Class of 1925 was ushered into its first year of college life on Friday. September 16, 1921. The night was officially designated College Xite and is an annual affair, sponsored by the Y. I. C. A. After supper the freshmen gathered on the lawn outside the Commons, where they were ad- dressed by Dr. Caldwell. Dean of the Institute. Giant Duggan, president of the Students ' Association, and J. L. Davis, president of the Rice Y. M. C. A., with words of encourasrement. FRESHMAN SHIRT TAIL PARADE The annual freshman shirt tail parade held on Saturday night. September 17, 1021, was a howling success, with the freshmen doing the howling. More freshmen took part in this parade than in that of any previous year. Also, the costumes showed more originality — and nerve. The parade was headed by the famous B. V. D. squad armed with brooms. There were bathing beauties, aphrodites — at least two hundred freshmen, in all manner of costumes. Snaking down the principal streets, the mob finally assembled at the Cozy Theatre. Here the freshmen terminated a glorious even- ing by staging a few original acts that put the scheduled bill to shame. % • ;., x, • = fi.:. --.,• ti,.7 ' • ill.

PEP PARADES Never before in the history of Rice has such spirit been shown at pep parades. The most notable parade of the year was of the student body after the defeat at the hands of Baylor. The entire dorm group turned out to cheer the returning team when it arrived at the station. The parade before the Tulane game, pictured below, was typical of the pre-game parades. .•iVX • , ltV - , u THE THANKSGIVING REUNION Thanksgiving Day, 1921. Once more the grad- uates of Rice came back to the halls of their Alma Mater to meet their old friends, and to live again their college days. The third Com- memorative Reunion was the occasion for many joyous greetings of friends long separated. In the morning the Alumni Association met in the Physics amphitheater and elected officers for the coming year. Albert Tomfohrde, ' 17, was chosen president ; Miss Marguerite John, ' i[). was elected vice president, and Miss Kath- erine Filson, ' 20, and J- P- Coleman, ' 19, were elected to the executive board. To complete the unexpired terms of Mr. Tomfohrde and Miss John, Otto Eisenlohr and J. S. Waters were chosen. The question of eligibility for membership was brought up. It was decided to admit any former student who had attended the Institute for at least a year, and had left in good standing. Several other busi- ness matters of lesser import were discussed. The meeting then adjourned until Thanksgiving Day, 1922. THE Y. M. C. A. STAG SMOKER As an appreciation of the support tendered it by the students, the Y. M. C. A. entertained the dormitory men with a Stag Smoker in the Autry House on March 6. Free cigars and cigarettes were passed around, and the musical talent of Rice was assembled to furnish a highly entertaining program. Wilkins with his accordion, Lebowski.on the piano, together with the songs of McGee, Humason and Randall all contributed to the success of the evening. Ted Flaxman and Gordon Miite ofifered the real hit of the smoker with Old Black Joe and The Rosary on violin and guitar. They evoked encore after encore with their toe-tickling jazz pieces. Albert Tomfohrde i ' 0:. y ' ' y ' : THE FOOTBALL BANQUET The Annual Banquet for the football squad was given in the University Club rooms on the night of December 3rd. The affair this year was sponsored by a group of business men headed by Air. A. C. Bayless. The guests were members of the football squad, while the freshmen squad served as waiters. The program for the evening included a number of inspiring talks by promi- nent Houstonians. Bob Patterson who spoke first is an ex-Vanderbilt man and a close follower of the game. He assured the team of loyal support, regard- less of victorjr or defeat. Eddie Dyer, retiring captain, thanked all Houston for their splendid support. The athletic schedule for the coming year was an- nounced by Coach Arbuckle, and letters were awarded to eighteen men of the squad. After the banquet the letter men met to elect the captain for the coming year. Fred C. Boettcher, of Houston was chosen to lead the 1922 squad. Freddie promises to be a star fullback and a great leader for the Blue and Grey next year. DRAMATICS ■; 1. -The I ' crx Naked Box ' As Rice grows older, year by year the school takes on the characteristics of a true university. An evidence of our ad- vancement along the cultural side of col- lege life was the work of the Rice Dramatic Club during this year. Incidentally the club ' s work was a factor in obtaining the good will and support of the appreciative people of Houston. On November 3rd, members of the fac- ulty and interested students met at the Autry House, and preliminary plans for the organization of a Rice Dramatic Club were outlined. A committee consisting of C. E. Elliot, chairman, Stayton Nunn and R. N. Lawrence was selected to submit a list of plays for approval of the member- ship at the next meeting, and to make ar- rangements for the first production. The Dramatic Club was fortunate in securing the services and advice of J. W. Slaughter, John C. Tidden, and R. N. Lawrence. ••• ! ' : ! .-:y ' J Miss Civilbatioii It was decided that the first bill should consist of three one-act plays. Under the careful direction of Air. Lawrence, and employing a very capable cast, The Very Naked Boy afforded comedy of a high order. Aliss jNIarjorie North was seen as The Girl, Lawrence Humason as The Youth, and Dale Shepherd as The Boy. The Rising of the Moon, with parts played by ] Ir. Tidden, Stayton Nunn, Joe Benson, and Reginald Bickford, furnished the audience one continuous thrill. The actors were coached by Dr. Slaughter. Appearing in the play, ' ' Aliss Civilization, directed by Mr. Tidden, were ] Iiss Jean Sproule, Tom Rather, H. C. Nicholas, R. N. Lawrence, and Stayton Nunn. ' The J crv Naked Boy ' .y - ■). ' :aVx f .rtV C V - ' fC ' ii.7. ' ii. • , Humor occupied a large place on the second bill, presented on January 19th and 20th, with two of the three one-act plays out-and-out comedies. The NoWe Lord. with . nah Marig_lveland and P. J. Daniels playing opposite each other, opened the program. Dust t)f the Road provided the serious note of the evening. John Clark Tidden. Ila I ' lrown, Stayton Xunn, and Thomas Rather were effective in their respective roles. Robert Perry, Sybil Denniston. Jean Sproule. and P . P). ] IcElroy, formed the cast of ' urzel-Flummery. a satire of nuich strength, under the direction of John C. Tidden. ' ' J ' lie Noble Lord W:. ' : Francis Berlcth THE SECOND BIENNIAL ENGINEERING SHOW Barnum never advertised a show like the one put on by the engineers of Rice Institute March 31 and April I. It is even doubtful whether he and his corps of brilliant press agents could have concocted adjectives to describe it. After calling attention to the spectacularly illuminated edifices housing the exhibition, the stupendous blue beams of the giant Fort Crockett government searchlight. the dazzling glory of the colorful steam pyrotechnical display, and the baflling marvels of modern science and engineering in the interior, Barnum would probably have called it a poster and let it go. The Second Biennial Engineering Show was some- thing more than a sensational display, however. It was an honest, painstaking effort to acc|uaint the people of Houston with what Rice Institute is oft ' ering in the way of instruction to engineers and scientists. That it interested them is shown by the gate figures. Over seven thousand persons were actually counted at the main door of the exposition, and it is estimated that there were easily 3,000 more visitors who escajsed the tally — a total of 10,000 guests in sixteen hours. The physics building, mechanical laboratory, chemistry annex and power house were used as show buildings. There were over 1 10 separate exhibits, requiring the attendance of over 200 guides during the course of the show. At night the mechanical laboratory and Campanile were brilliantly illuminated, while the billion-candle-power searchlight acted as a majestic advertisement of the aft ' air. The list of even the most interesting exhibits is too long for inclusion here. The physics department displayed its equipment, said to be as complete as any in the South, and arranged a series of curious physical experiments. The radio dog, controlled both by wireless and by light cast on selenium cells, and the million-volt Tesla coil bridging a two-foot gap with sj)arks also attracted attention. ' ' J ? ' ' ; ' ' ' Jw ' ' : V ' i: V Vvivi: ' ' ' W. The civil engineers gave a thorough demonstration of their work — instruments, models, designs and drawings, tests with building materials. An i8-foot by lo-foot landscape model showed nearly every type of engineering construction. The wide variety of the chemical exhibit included countless types of modern instruments and apparatus, imported chemical processes, and freak features which enlivened interest all the way through. The electrical engineers demonstrated their well-equipped laboratory, gave a number of attractive electri- cal experiments, and opened their radio and wireless telephone room for inspection. The mechanical engineering laboratories were whole shows in themselves, containing every vari- ety of shop machines in operation; gasoline, steam, and oil engines: steam, water and air pumps : a 30 H. P. turbo-generator unit, a Hall-Scott airplane motor, and several tj ' pes of oil burners. Francis H. Berleth acted as general chairman of this successful show. The Board of Trustees, who aided financially ; the engineering departments, which furnished the appa- ratus ; and the engineering students, who did the work, all are to be given credit for the completion of a notable undertaking. wm • .. ■ .. :iivC - ' .

Delivering a message dealing pri- marily with the p roblems incidental to college life, Dr. Sherwood Eddy in his four addresses to the students of Rice made a most eloquent ap- peal to the better natures of the men and women whom he addressed. Miile his theme in general had to do with what he termed the touch- stone of character — honesty, pur- ity and earnestness, he also touched upon the bigger problems before the world today, and particularly the conditions in eastern Europe. His words were particularly forceful, as he spoke from his actual experiences in his recent trips across Asia and Europe and not from hearsay. Dr. Eddy arrived in the evening of January 27th. Going directly from his train to the Commons, he ad- dressed an enthusiastic crowd of the He made three more addresses on the two following days. DR. EDWARD ARDERN AND ALDERMAN WEST Early in November the Institute was honored by the presence of Dr. Edward Ardern, who is known as one of the foremost municipal engineers of England, and Alderman ' est, the head of various industrial enterjjrises in the city of Manchester. Dr. Ardern gave a lecture for the Engineering Society on Activated Sludge Processes. An appreciative audience heard the address, and at its con- clusion the entire party adjourned to the Autry House, where a delicious supper was served by the Society. • !•.• • v.. ■ : • . ' Ml ' ' ' . ■ PROFESSOR HENRY RUSSELL Dr. Henry Russell, Professor of Astron- omy at Princeton, who visited the Institute in 1918, was the guest of the University again this past winter. Dr. Russell is a graduate of the University in which he now holds a professorship, having received his degree in 1897. Recently he has been sig- nally honored by the Royal Astronomical Society, who presented him with a gold medal in recognition of his distinguished services. While here Dr. Russell delivered three very interesting and instructive lectures on the Recent Advances in Stellar Astron- omy. The first was delivered on January 26, on the Light of the Stars. The sec- ond and third, respectively, were delivered on the two following days and were on The Size and Mass of the Stars, and ■ ' The Evolution of the Stars. DR. JOHN DEWEY Dr. John Dewey, the most influential philosopher America has yet produced, delivered three lectures on Human Behavior and Science, during the week of February 5th. Dr. Dewey holds the degree of doctor of laws from the Universities of Wisconsin and Vermont, and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, The American Psychological Association and The American Philosophical Association, having been president of the last two organizations. During a tour of the Far East, he became an ex- change Professor of University of Pekin, where he was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy, an honor conferred on only four other foreigners. PROFESSOR A. R. MILLIKAN Rice was honored by a visit of this most distin- guished scientist on April 13, 14, and 15. His lectures were of a popular nature, and were intended to help people with a special knowledge of science to obtain some idea of the recent advances in the realm of electricity, matter and light. Dr. ] Iillikan ' s best work in research was done in his experiments an the atomic constitution of elec- tricity, and his achievements in this line have brought him world-wide fame. More recently he has deter- mined accurately the magnitudes of the quanta of en- ergy which are emitted and absorbed by material atoms, and has discovered new ether waves intermedi- ate between X-ravs and ordinary light waves. PRESIDENT A. LAWRENCE LOWELL The Herbert Godwin Lectureship on PubHc Af- fairs brought to Rice no less man than Dr. A. Law- rence Lowell, president of Harvard LTniversity, on the days of April 24th, 25th, and 26th. Dr. Lowell ' s first ap- pearance was in the fac- ulty chamber, where he ad- dressed the students and faculty of Rice. After a short talk, he was con- ducted to the Commons, where a luncheon had been prepared in his honor. Some four hundred men, representatives of Hous- ton, of students and of the entire faculty were pres- ent. After an informal buf- fet lunch. Dr. Lowell ad- dressed the gathering from the high table of the hall. In the evening he deliv- ered the first of three pub- lic lectures at the City Auditorium, the general subject of which was PubHc Opinion in Peace and War, and he dealt, in turn, with each of the following aspects, ' ■ ' hy People Agree and Disagree, Opinion and Politics, and lastly, Public Opinion During and After War. On Wednesday afternoon, from four-thirty to six-thirty, the academic court was the scene of a garden party given by the trustees in honor of the noted visitor and his wife. Hundreds of Houstonians, out-of-town people, and the Senior Class were given the privilege of meeting Doctor and Mrs. Lowell in- formally. Throughout the afternoon selections were played by the Rice Band. It was with deep regret that we heard the closing remarks of Doctor Lowell ' s last lecture ' ednesday night, realizing, as we did, that the great privilege which was ours in having this truly great man with us was about to end. r.. ' • ..••iV • .lUX • , iiv • ., av 1921 THE SENIOR AMERICAN ' 21 A bright spot in the Commencement festivities of the Class of ' 21 was the Senior American on the Saturday morning of June 4th. The dear old Commons was the place where Rice pep held sway during the morning hours, not daunted by the heat of the June sun. A short reception was held be- fore the dancing which began at ten o ' clock to the strains of the faithful Charlie Dickson Orchestra, and the engagements were listed in attractive booklets portraying a dancing couple. Dancing was interspersed by partaking of the bountiful refreshments of sandwiches, candies and punch served from a table in the Commons, or perhaps by promenading in the sheltered cloisters outside. The hour of twelve came all too soon, but sending the merry crowd away unanimous in the memory of a happy morning. s THE FINAL BALL OF ' 21 The Final Ball proved to be the successful culmination of the Commencement festivities. The dignified aflfair was held in the ball room of the Rice Hotel on the Monday follow- ing the banquet and lasted until three-thirty the next morn- ing. It was a wonderful night for the students and faculty as their guests assembled in the ball room, which was con- verted into a veritable Japanese Garden, quite artistic in design, with large and small square lanterns of gold with black figures, hanging from the ceiling. The dances were listed in attrac- tive booklets of gold. At the hour of midnight, the Grand March, led by Mr. Gaylord Johnson, president of the Senior Class, and Miss Florence Scott of Fort Worth, wended its way toward the dining room, where a delicious sup- ]jer course was served. Dancing was resumed after supper, and many were the regrets and fond farewells, when the strains of Home, Sweet Home formed the finale of one of the most delightful of Rice Final Balls. I- ' aculty members and their wives, the Patrons and Patronesses and the visit- ing parents (if the Seniors formed a genial list of chaperons. . i .r «jgs fe: : . ' .-!.aae ' r.J ! ' ' y ' : vS . THE OPENING DANCE The Opening Dance of the Rice social season was held in the Commons on the Saturday evening of Registration Week. Rice ' s Orchestra, The Joy Spreaders, furnished the music. The Joy Spreaders had just returned from a tour of the State, and a month ' s engagement at one of the large coast piers, so they furnished excellent jazz on this evening. The new men and women who had just completed their registration were present to become acquainted with the pep and spirit of Rice dances. Needless to say, the initial dance of the season was a success. jNIr. and ' Sits. Lee Camp- bell and Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Howell chaperoned. INITIAL AUTRY HOUSE DANCE Autry house was initiated socially with a Saturday night dance on the evening of October 8th. Quite a number of guests were present to see the community house for the first time since its opening. The smooth floor, the luxurious ap- pointments, the newness of the whole house, furnished an excellent background for a delightful dance, as this one proved to be. The crowd was unusually large. The Joy Spreaders furnished the music. Chaperons were Mrs. E. Blake, Mrs. J. L. Autry, Rev. H. Masterson, and other friends. SATURDAY NIGHT DANCES The social calendar of the past school year has been the most complete in the history of the school. Rice has been particularly fortunate in having a dance orchestra composed entirely of students which ranks with the best obtainable. With the Joy Spreaders as sponsors the Commons and the Autry House have housed a large number of exceedingly peppy dances. The College Inn has also been the scene of a number of delightful dances. At the first of the year it was deemed advisable to guard against any objection- able characters at Rice dances. Accordingly a system was devised by the Autry House and the Students ' Council whereby a card was issued to all friends of Rice men and women which admitted them to the dances. This system proved successful and will no doubt be used next year. ...vw •;_.., iv ;.,rtVs: • 5 ,.: rfUt:: • ■ .: ' -u: •10 ff . THE Y. M.-Y. W. RECEPTION During the twilight hours from four to six on the afternoon of September 24. the Y. !M.-Y. ' . Reception was held in the Commons. Get Acquainted tags were pinned on each guest and served as an introduction. Attractively decorated punch tables were placed amid the shrubbery and cloisters of the court, and were very popular with the guests during their pleasant tete-a-tetes with new and old acquaintances. The Joy Spreaders furnished music, adding to the success of the occasion. P. A. L. S. CIRCUS The Pallas Athene Literary Society entertained the new girls with a circus on Tuesday afternoon, September 27th, at the old Community House, which had been converted by a group of obliging slimes into a very passable imitation of a ' big top, sawdvist ring and all. After an introductory speech by the ringmaster the entire company took part in a grand parade around the ring, led by the famous P. A. L. S. Women ' s Band. The main performance was a hilarous affair, occasioned by a trained horse, skilled dancers, clowns, negro comedians, and trapeze performers. Led by the clamouring of the barker, the crowd flocked to gaze in true rustic wonder at the snake charmer, the wild woman, the fortune teller, the fat lady and the midgets. Peanuts, popcorn and soda pop supplied the final touch to the circus flavor. AUTRY HOUSE TEA The opening of the Autry House was the occasion of a beautiful tea on Monday afternoon, October 3. The spacious hall was decorated with golden flowers along the wall and pink roses formed the motif on the tables near the artistic fireplace. A large number of guests attended and the hours from four to six were pleasantly spent in admiring the lovely new house. Punch was served from the cafeteria room. ' ' V • . ' ]iH ' . ■■••n ' ty ' . ' -;-yf ; y i y y, ' ! t ' E. B. L. S-P. A. L S. TEA On the afternoon of October 7, the Ehzabeth Baldwin Literary Society and the Pallas Athene Literary Society entertained in the Campus Commons from four to six with a beautifully appointed tea for the new girls. The Commons were attractively decorated in autumn flowers which gave a pretty setting to the bevy of new and old girls enjoying private tete-a-tete, interspersed by readings and musical selections. Refreshments were served buffet style at six. Y. W. C. A. LITTLE SISTER PARTY The annual Big Sister-Little Sister party of the Y. V. C. A. was held at the Autry House on Saturday, October 8. The House was decorated with quan- tities of flowers. A Get Acquainted game was tirst played — followed by a peanut hunt staged by various packs, each with a particular call. Captains had to pick up the peanuts and much fun was occasioned by hearing the members of the various packs crowing, barking or mooing until the captain came to pick up the find. A lively peanut race ended the afternoon ' s fun. Dancing formed the diversion until refreshments were served. THE TATTLER TEA On October 6, the new Autry House was the scene of a very informal tea given by the Tattlers in honor of the girls who had just entered Rice. There was a great deal of interest shown in the aflfair, as it was the first entertainment given in the new building. The colors of the club, white and gold, were featured throughout. The Tattler T was suspended over the fireplace at the end of the hall, while several bas- kets of flowers were placed at intervals around the room. The tables, covered with lace cloths over yellow satin and adorned with yel- low tapers in crystal candlesticks, held mints, nuts and candies ; and during the afternoon an ice course was served. .••%V • ..liW • . Vli ' V • ,. ik s THE FRESHMAN BALL Excitement and suspense held the five hundred guests assembled on the even- ing of October 27 for the annual Freshman Dance, as the hour of nine ap- proached. Rumors had it that in spite of the efforts of the Sophomores, the freshman president had never been caught and would appear at nine o ' clock to lead the grand march on schedule time. Promptly at nine President Gordon Asbury appeared, sans the customary crazy costume, and, with Miss AUie May Autry. led the grand march. The large ball room of the Rice was decorated in the typical green and numerous 25 ' s were prominent. The programs were in blue and grey, and uniquely portrayed a slime in the hands of a Sophomore with a broom. The music for the dances and encores was furnished by Charlie Dickson ' s Orchestra. Punch was served throughout the evening. At midnight favors of peaked hats for the men and caps and dolls for the ladies were dis- tributed, as well as horns and serpentines, all of which transformed the ballroom into a veritable carnival. The dancers continued their good time until Home, Sweet Home, which was played at three o ' clock. THE FIRST SOPHMORE DANCE The Sophomore Dance for the first term was held at the University Club the evening of December 9, amid a scene of snow and ice, very effectively carried out in the decorations. At nine o ' clock the Grand March was led by Mr. Roy Chambers and Miss Virginia Attwell. The dances were listed on white booklets portraying a snow man, and cleverly designated eight dances and two extras in wintry terms, such as the Slime ' s Freeze and the Senior ' s Snowball. During the evening a surprise was given in the form of a snowstorm suddenly falling from amid the snow and icicles which decorated the ceil- ings. Peck ' s Bad Boys furnished the music for dancing. :..iwpw • ; f..:. ' it,. • lu • • ,: nppmvt ' ' RICE-A. M. FOOTBALL DANCE Following the Rice — A. M. game on Armistice Day, a dance was held in the ball room of the Rice Hotel in the evening. Pep and enthusiasm added to the success of the affair, the Joy Spreaders were at their best and a large crowd thoroughly enjoyed the evening. IDLER DINNER DANCE The annual Idlers ' Dinner Dance which was a beautiful and elaborate social event of the year was given at the University Club the evening of November 25, by the active members of the club, including among their guests the alumni of the club. Small tables were placed at intervals about the spacious hall decorated with evergreens. Attractive dance programs in purple and gold marked the places for about sixty guests, and at each of the ladies ' places were beautiful corsages in the club colors and flowers, together with the favors — hand- some gold fountain pens, engraved and embossed with the Idlers I. A delicious six course dinner was served, while Peck ' s Bad Boys gave the music during dinner, and for dancing until the early morning hours. TATTLERS LUNCHEON The active and alumnae members of the Tattlers Club entertained the new pledges of the club with a luncheon at the University Club November 26. The long table seated about forty guests and was formed in the shape of the Tattlers T. Golden flowers were artistically arranged along the length of the table, and two large baskets filled with the same flowers, tied with gold tulle, together with gold balloons, marked each end of the table. The place cards were attractive in featuring the seal of the club in gold and white. :.;rt x. = s ,.; ALUMNI DINNER DANCE The Reunion of ' 21 was brought to a close by a dinner dance in the Commons after the Thanksgiving game. It was indeed a fitting close to the festivities. Each class had a separate table, beautifully decorated with bright colored flowers. The tables were placed along the wall so as to allow a maximum amount of space in which to dance. Each table tried to outdo the others in originality and pep. The music for the evening was furnished by the Joy Spreaders, composed of Rice undergraduates. Under the spell of such music as they gave, many of the faculty joined in with the alumni in the merry making. J Ir. Beraud outdid himself for service and quality and the dinner was announced a delightful success. Dr . Lovett addressed the gathering, and was followed by members of the various classes. The speakers with one accord predicted great things for Rice in the near future. Those who spoke for the various classes were : Carl Knapps, ' 16; B. C. Harris, ' 17; J. B. Hathorn. ' 18; Tom Rather, ' 19; Bob Patton, ' 20; and Gaylord Johnson, ' 20. At midnight the grand finale was enacted in the form of a huge bonfire which was lighted and the Third Annual Reunion came to an end. ' ' iy.j:! ' ' : : ' ' : - ' LA MASQUE ESPANOL Senoritas and senors of all descriptions from the Spanish Lady of the Aristoc- racy to the villianous pirate with a ring in his nose, danced merrily together in the Streets of ] .Iadrid, on the evening of February 3, 1922. The Autry House became on that night a Spanish scene of rare note, planned and executed by the Archi-Arts of Rice Institute, whose initial dance will become an annual event. Below a bine sky a Spanish villa, with a senorita on an artistic gallery formed one side of the street scene, and an old oaken well of the Spanish type from which punch was served formed another, while yet another was a garden wall, outside of which lazy Spaniards lounged or sold their wares. While the fourth side of the scene represented the entrance to a theater, and on the stage a band of pirates bold, composed of the musicians who gave the music. Pro- grams were artistic books with a Spanish bull fight artistically pictured on the cover, while a real bull fight took place between the toreadors and the bull, represented by two members of the Archi-Arts. Another enjoyable event of the evening was the pantomime wrestling between Mr. Tidden and Mr. Duggan. A delicious salad course was served during the evening. .V; ii  x ' ? -■..vvv--. _-;. % .;iMN; ; s« ' ..: -.•Ji„.?. tti% ' ii • ;:■ Miss Janice Hammond SOPHOMORE KID DANCE One of the jolliest and prettiest dances of the year was given by the sophomore class in the Commons, Feb- ruary II. It was a combined valentine and kid dance, incorporating the spirit of both the heart-cupid valen- tine decorations, and the socks and rompers costumes of the kids, who thoroughly enjoyed the all day suckers and the heart shaped ice cream and cakes. The Grand March was led by ] Ir. Noel Willis and Miss Janice Hammond. A heart box of candy for the costume prize was won by Aliss Allie May Autry and W. H. Winn. This was the second social event given by the Sopho- mores this year. CRANMER CLUB DANCE The Cranmer Club entertained with a charming valentine dance the evening of February 13, at the Autry House. Hearts and hanging moss made very effect- ive decorations for the hall and platform where the Joy Spreaders played, as well as forming an attractive nook for the punch bowl. Little Miss Doris gave a pretty colonial dance and Mr. McGee sang during the intermissions. FACULTY WIVES ' TEA The faculty wives entertained the Junior and Senior girls with a beautifully apjjointed tea in the Commons the afternoon of February 15. Red hearts were presented at the door with the guests names and served as introductions. Various games and contests — including the magic valentine Christmas tree, a relay race and mail carrier — enlivened the afternoon and brought forth peals of laughter from the contestants. Miss Kathryn Waugh and Miss Bertha Louise Hellman gave very enjoyable dances. Punch and a delicious salad course were served during the afternoon. ' ' l - ' .• JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom given by the Class of ' 2; to the Class of ' 22, February 21, was one of the most unique and brilliant affairs in the annals of the school, cleverly planned and effectively carried out in detail. The Commons was the scene of the kingdom of His Satanic Majesty — the hall being trans- formed into what one might easily imagine the interior of the devil ' s abode to be, and everything of a wierd and grotesque char- acter gave the proper setting. The entrance into the cavern was guarded by a gigantic octopus and ' round the walls were dragons, devils and pitchforks, and in the back- ground the River Styx with old Charon and his fiery boat. A cavernous grotto, lighted by green and red flashes was the musicians ' pit and an orchestra of clever devils in red costume furnished the music. For the Grand March which was led by the class president, R. M. Winnsborough, and Miss Allie May Autry, the solemn funeral march was played and as the dancers entered beneath the awful setting they were given booklets of red and black with a wicked little verse on Hell in the back cover, and were also presented with electric sparklers. The latter, flashing down the long line of dancers gave a beautiful effect in the red darkness of the cavern. The ceiling was hung with various stalagmites, and shaded by red and green lights. During the evening a dance was given by Miss Kathryn Waugh, and another by two young men in devil ' s costume. At mid- night the supper march was played. This was followed by an intermission for the cabaret. Miss Allie May Autry SIGMA BETA DANCE On January 17, the home of Miss Augusta Breed was the scene of an informal dance given by the Sigma Beta Club. The spacious rooms were decorated with moss and greens — motif being the club colors, green and gold. The dining room was attractive with green lights and table embellishments of the same color. During the evening music was furnished by Charlie Dickson ' s orchestra and at midnight a buffet supper was served to about thirty five people. .. • l : • • V . THE TATTLERS DANCE The Tattlers Second Annual Dance, one of the outstanding social events of the year, was given at the Country Club the evening of April 17. At nine o ' clock the Grand March was led by Miss Virginia Attwell, president of the club, and ilr. Edwin Dyer. The spacious halls of the country club were converted into a veritable Japanese Garden of vari-colored flowers and lanterns in pastel shades. The two large fireplaces were banked with green vines, around which were flower beds of hyacinths, while fountains of colored waters were placed amid the flowers. The anteroom was converted into a wisteria arbor, and other arbors covered with wisteria and cherry blossoms were placed about rooms. The lights were shaded by upturned Japanese parasols, from which hung cloisters of flowers and vines, and between the hanging lights were lanterns of various shapes and hues. An artistic Japanese Shrine housed the musicians ' corner. The buffet supper was placed on the porch amid clusters of flowers. The programs were daintv cards featuring the club seal. FRESHMAN BOAT RIDE The afternoon of April 22nd found the annual Freshman Boat Ride well under way, as the Nicholaus steamed down the ship channel. The San Jacinto Battle Grounds was the destination, and here the crowd landed to partake of dancing and later to indulge in eats. At seven o ' clock the music again started and the crowd danced merrily on until the rising of the moon. The return trip lost none of the enjoyment of the earlier evening, as stringed instruments produced soft music, and ice-cream and soda-pop were bountifully served. w..n x • ;..% vv • f,.

M. C. A. ACTIVITIES It is not possible for a complete resume of the activities of the Rice Institute Y. M. C. A. during the year ig2i- ' 22, as space is not available. But a brief re- view of the work of the Y. IM. C. A. during the year will be interesting and valu- able to the cabinet members for next year. In April, 1921, the new cabinet, composed of J. Lud Davis, President; E. Rus- sell Duggan, Vice President ; Archie Batjer, Secretary, and Ben Duggan, Treas- urer, went into office, and immediately outlined a program for the year ahead. About $500 was raised from the downtown churches for establishing a perma- nent loan fund to use in sending delegates to the summer Y. M. C. A. training camp at Hollister, Mo. College Night was observed by a big gathering of the dormitory men on the first night of school. New men were introduced to the Rice spirit by Dean Caldwell, Russell Duggan and J. Lud Davis, and all students were made to feel that I ' J.ice was theirs, and that they were already a part of it, although new. Letters were sent to all ministers, Jewish rabbis and Catholic churches, giving them the names of their constituencies as such appeared on the registration cards. These names made it easy for live pastors to get next to their students. The Freshman reception, given in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A., was a great success, students and faculty mingling freely and happily together for two or three hours. A very strong feature of the Y. M. C. A. work during the year was a series of addresses by Bishop Quin of Houston, George Irvin of New York, and Sher- wood Eddy of the same city. Mr. Eddy stayed two days, and his visit was markedly helpful. Drs. Axson, Caldwell and Weiser also delivered splendid lectures to the men. At the request of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., Dr. Harry Weiser delivered a lecture on Science and Religion which was delivered at Rice once before. Perhaps the most enjoyable social feature of the year for the Dormitory men was Stag Night, held at Autry House on March 6, when about two hundred men met together, sang, heard instrumental music of all kinds, and some splen- did vocal solos. Refreshments were served in the way of smokes. The Y. M. C. A. of Rice Institute was greatly aided by Mr. Burke Baker of Houston, Mr. Page of the Houston Y. M. C. A., Dr. Caldwell of the Institute, Rev. Harris Masterson, and many others. Mr. Masterson was never failing in his unselfish service, counsel and assistance in every way. All in all, the Institute Y grew in numbers, power, prestige and usefulness, having had one of its most successful years.

ARBUCKLE A DEAN OF Texas coaches, is respectfully dedicated THIS BOOK, IN WHICH HAVE BEEN RECORDED THE AN- NALS OF A YEAR OP SPORTS AT RiCE. SiNCE I9I2 ArBUCKLE has been the chief mentor of our athletic activities. Working with the scant material from a student body which in ten years has grown to number only five hundred men, he has succeeded in raising ath- letics to a dignity and renown which is surprising. He HAS CREATED A NAME FOR ATHLETICS AT RiCE JUST AS he has created a name for rice athletics in the -South. JS-U-SiBr- S ' V J.-, j. THE COACHES Arbuckle — More familiarly known by his friends and his athletes as Phil, f _. ' ' I HI I come to be styled the Dean of ' |r ' -w rtf PiSBH Texas Football Coaches. Arbuckle on arjk ' A -Mk. ' U i his merit as a coach of the very first order has attained the position of Di- rector of Athletics at Rice. He has been the football mentor since the first grid- iron team in 1912, and has a very re- markable record from a university boasting several hundred men, from which he was at liberty to pick his teams. Arbuckle took charge of the freshman for 1921, with the view of making them suitable Varsity material. Their very brilliant record for the season is a repeti- tion of the equally as enviable account of the ' arsity teams of the preceding years. Philip Hcckmau Arbuckle Verges — Howard Verges, with an en- viable record behind him as a college athlete, took charge of football and bas- ketball in the fall of 1921. Undaunted by the disastrous and multitudinous ac- cidents and jinxes of the darkest year in the football history of Rice, he sent the Varsity into a struggle with Texas A. M. that resulted in a tie that was a victory for the Blue and Grey in every point except the final score, and was a redemption of all previous reverses. Iluwurd P. Verges ...rtV •  „. • 4ii. • • •• ;.. H I L T Y — Leonard Hilty, all- American tackle, spent his first season at Rice as line coach last fall. He developed a line that held its heaviest opponents consistently and could be relied upon at all times to open up holes on the of- fensive. Hilty will have the line in charge in the fall of ' 22. J.J ' Pete Ccni. ' tlwn L. P. 1 1 ill V Cawtpiox — Pete Cawthon accom- plished wonders by turning out a suc- cessful baseball team at Rice. While they lacked much of being champions, the nine, under Pete ' s guidance made a most creditable showing. Pete gained the friendship and con- fidence of everyone with whom he came in contact. He did not come back in 192 1, and though we con- gratulate Terrell School on securing such a successful coach and thorough gentleman, we deeply regret his ab- sence from Rice. ...rtVV •  .. ' ■ ii;.v .:; Leslie Mat, Manx — Leslie Mann, heavy h itting outfielder for the Cardinals, was in charge of the physical education department of the Institute. He was not with us the full season, as he re- ceived an appoint- ment as f o o t h a 11 coach at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. R. FFKKTY — Jack RatTerty. voluntary track coach, was the man who discovered Coleman as a half-miler, and developed Preacher to his best in the century. He is undoubtedly the best loved coach that ever sent his men on the field at Rice. J. II. Raffcrty T.xiLOK .-WD Njciiol.xs — Push Taylor and H. O. Nicholas rendered able assistance to Arbuckle in sending the freshmen through a victorious season on the gridiron in the fall of 21.

THE SEASON disappointed no one perhaps so much as Captain Dyer, who after returning to college at a sacrifice to lead the 1922 eleven, fell victim to a twisted knee in the Tulane game and was unable to complete his last year under the Grey and Blue. Dyer has always been a sensation on the gridiron. As a broken-field runner, triple threat man and consistent gainer off tackle and the ends, he was never surpassed. In the first game he revealed indications of sur- passing his old form as one of the fastest halfbacks in the South ; in addition, he had put on enough weight to insure success against the line, and was in tip- top condition. His loss dismayed the whole student body as well as the team and was certainly a factor in later reverses. .., Ww •  ,.. li; •• , M BoETTCHi ' R, Bosh Houston, Texas The red-headed bull of the Owl backtield, a natural battering ram for an enemy line. Boettcher played his best brand of football during the 1 92 1 season and earned the re- ward of captaincy for the next year ' s eleven. By many he is thought to fight his best game at fullback, but he acquitted himself well at half and was one of the de- pendable ones who did not, or could not. get hurt. He is now wearing his third R sweater. DePrato. De Texarkana, Texas One of the best defensive ends Rice has ever had, De was in the middle of every play that came into his vicinity and when the runner would not come to him. went after the runner in approved Alahomet fashion. He was not afraid to dive at the foot of an advancing forma- tion or reach up for a tackle from the ground. They always detailed two or more interferers to take De- Prato off and never thought about boxing him out. He has been in- valuable during his four years with the Owl team. Williams, Punk Leesburg, Fla. At tackle Punk has come into his own during the past few sea- sons as a hard-fighting, bone-and- muscle warrior with a mania for breaking through and downing men before they have decided which hole to try for. This habit com- pletely mastered him in the Tulane game, and for some time the on- lookers were treated to the spectacle of the Louisiana line advancing like the Germans on Paris — back- ward. The 1 92 1 season was prob- ably his best — and unfortunately, his last with Rice football. Underwood, Heavy Honeygrove, Texas Built like an ice-wagon with the speed and power of a Stutz (see our ad) Heavy has been the star of the Rice line since he joined the first squad four years ago. He has been placed several times on the all- conference team as guard and is one of the marvels of the Texas gridiron. Anyone can comprehend the ditficulty of sending a play through his 230 pounds, but not all can understand how he gets through ahead of supposedly faster men to make a tackle behind the line. Un- derwood could always be held re- sponsible for two or three men — and once a runner fell in his grip, he stuck. He won his fourth letter as a Rice g uard this season. ;.. v ♦ • . DUGGAN, ' GiaXT Belton, Texas The Tarzan of the Rice for- wards, a guard with a world of grit and fight and strength who made up a well-nigh invincible combina- tion with Underwood and Barrett in between. Duggan was injured in the first game of the year, with S. I. L, and was hampered by the same injury when he returned late in the season to alternate with Button. He was welcomed back, however, and will be only too greatly missed this year — for he has carried away all the football R ' s the law allows. • 0it .. ' iHu:: • Alexander, Big Aleck Decatur, Ga. A husky tackle with a smash Hke a Texas steer and a natural love for man-sized football. The big Georgian was no sylph on his feet, but he played with his head up all the time and led the charges downfield after a kick-ofif or punt. He favored stopping punts as quickly as possible, too — usually with his chest. A mighty big gap is left in the line now that Aleck ' s fourth 3 ' ear of athletics is over. Kennedy, Stinkin ' Sabinal, Texas This hard-hitting, powerfully- plunging fullback was the main stay of the 1921 team and acted as captain after Dyer was hurt. There was not a game he did not star in. Except for his punting, which he performed creditably e n o u g h , Stinkin ' excelled in every branch of backfield play — his low, diving drive through the line was good for four yards any time ; he was one of the greatest backers-up the Rice line ever had, and his tackles were sure and stunning ; he was swift and sure with his passing, quick of thought and lightning of action. This was his fourth year of Rice sports. .AS • . .i W ♦ ' , The lad who surprised them all by stepping from the line into the backfield and winning a place there in the short span of a week. Like Button, Hugh Raleigh had played three years without breaking into the inner circle of first-string men ; and through most of this season he was misplaced at tackle, ' he ne- cessity demanded another back, however, McKean ' s size and speed earned him the berth at full when Kennedy was switched to half. Inexperience was the only thing which kept ] IcKean from stardom after the S. AI. U. game, when he created a small sensation. B. RRF.TT, Toby Gainesville, Texas This specimen of brawny foot- ball warrior duplicated his work of the season before at the center of the line. Besides fulfilling the ordi- nary difficult duties of a quick- thinking and accurate passer, Bar- rett was a bear both on offense and defense when he and his flanking guards snapped into their stonewall formations as keystones of attack or parry. He was also lost through graduation. McGee, ] Iaggie Abilene, Texas A broth of a lad, the fighting Irishman halfback, who dazzled Tu- lane and played best on a bunged- up leg. Had jNIcGee been able to play throughout the season he might have acquired further laurels for his handsome head : but he was out on crutches after the Southwestern game, returning on Turkey day to get knocked out again. McGee is one of the speed-merchants of the backfield, making up for size in gameness and alertness. At that no one McGee tackled ever com- plained of his size. He will be back again, thank you, for his fourth letter next year. lAr BicKFoRD, Boston Boston, Mass. Fast and hard-fighting, this na- tive of New England was a wel- come addition to the Rice line in need. He played at tackle and won his second R for excellent ser- vices. Bickford has plenty of brawn to match his nerve and much is ex- pected of him for the coming sea- son. ;.. %« : CHA.MnHRS, Rov Port Arthur, Texas Chambers proved in every game that he was a sterhng back — speedy, shifty, hard to tackle and a hard tackier. A born half-back, he was obliged through the need of the team to play quarter, and if he dis- played no brilliance at that position, he performed to the satisfaction of his teammates and his fellows in the stands all the way. He was one of those who fought hardest in the catastrophic Texas game, and by his defensive work and nerve held down gain after gain. He will be ack next year for his second let- ter. II. ' : .- ' ..v.. I; CAMPDELr., Bubba Houston, Texas A new Owl end who showed wonderful form during the season and gives promise of even greater things before he is through with Rice football. He was fast as a flash, adept at receiving passes and sure death to plays around his end. Untiring, game and hard-fighting, imbued already with the true Rice spirit, he won his letter easily this season and will be back for more. McCaine. -xMac Houston, Texas A nail-hard, fighting halfback, who proved his worth with the Varsity. j Ic- Caine was one of the imfortunates who suffered from early season injuries, but his fighting spirit and speed made him, might} ' valuable while he lasted. Lawrence, Nigga Loleta, Texas A graduate of the 1920 freshman team who made good at end whenever he had a chance to get in tlie game. Lawrence was unafraid of any opposing combination and believed in going after the other man first. His playing earned him an R this year and he will return for another in 1922. It. SPRING TRAINING SQUAD 1921 Tof A izi ' — Willi-, Kl. ' i . l;,. vling. .McKean, Duggan, Tadlock, Coach Ililtx Chamliers, Thomas Bottom Row — Karcher, Roberts, Penix, Swartz, Lawronce, Simpson PRE-SEASON TRAINING Football aspirants were called out in April for a series of work-outs under Coach Leonard Hilty, all - American tackle, recently appointed a member of the Rice coaching staff. Hilty was to specialize in the line, but he drilled the spring fever squad in all the funda- mentals of the game, besides shearing off many a pound of extra weight with the bucking sled. Spring training in this case was more like summer training. April proved none too cool a month, and no necessity arose for heavy padding or extra clothes. A fair-sized squad stuck it through, however ; a quantity of good football knowl- edge was absorbed and a profitable time was had by all. ] Iuch of the training consisted of blackboard lectures on the fine points of the game. The response to tlie September train- ing call was one of the nicest in point of ' numbers that Rice football has experi- enced. All the spring squad reported; the old letter men were back in full numbers ; and there was a promising ar- ray of new material from the old fresh- man team. Verges and Hilty conducted an intensive training campaign which showed its results in the first game. ■0%: .■-•• • ,.•• ,.. ..•%V • ..iW • FOOTBALL, 1921 ■ Ten years of Rice football have failed to produce such a disappointingly dis- astrous season as the Grey and Blue experienced in 21. Games that were lost when the} ' should have been won, games that were shambles when they should have been mere losses, made up a gridiron nightmare whose one soothing cir- cumstance was the smashing back of the A. l. eleven on Armistice Day. This game, a -y tie. gave Rice a share with Baylor in second conference honors, while the Aggies and Longhorns split first between them in their memorable Thanksgiving battle. To what can the results be attributed? No one can say definitely. The Rice warriors at the outset looked to be as braw a gathering of football players as could be found in the State, — ten letter men from the ' 20 squad ; a half-dozen stars from the freshman eleven ; a hefty, speedy line and a well-balanced, aggressive backfield with Captain Eddie Dyer back to lead them ; two sterling coaches in Verges of Ohio State and Hilty of Pittsburgh; tumultous and inspir- ing sup])ort from the Rice student body — from start to finish. Old man Jin.x? ' e burned him after the Tulane game. Psychology? Take it awav : we don ' t want it. It is true, however, that never before have so many earlv season injuries handicapped the Owls. Only one backfield was available after the first few games and new and untried men were called upon to gain ground against the seasoned lines Rice faced. Be that as it may, Rice stands or falls with its team, offers no alibis nor apologies, and withholds no credit where it is due. ' e are not afraid to say that the best teams won. The season opened with a pleasing 54-0 victory over the Southwestern Indus- trial Institute of Louisiana. Losses by scant margins to Baylor and Tulane were chokingly swallowed. Then Southwestern University fell before the Owls in a calm which preceded the storm at Austin, when the Longhorns fell in their wrath on the Institute team and administered a 56-0 defeat. Rice crawled limply to a 7-0 win over S. I. J. and was doped out to lose heavilv to A. AI. in the annual battle. The dope, as usual, however, did no harm. The tie with the Aggies was the climax of the Owls ' efforts ; and, exhausted, they were unable to do better than beat Trinity 28-14 and lose to Oklahoma U. 27-0. Four vic- tories, four defeats and a tie made up the season record — and it was really a record. Eleven letter men left the (irey and Blue camp with the conclusion of the 1921 season — eleven good, football ])laying seniors in Dyer, Laiderwood, Wil- liams, Duggan, DePrato, Kennedy, Barrett, Alexander, Dutton, McKean and Dain ( ineligible ) . The loss is the heaviest Rice gridiron ranks have ever sus- tained, but with the brilliant freshman material that may survive the year, prosjiects are not so gloomy as they might seem. • ill. • • A. Y J ' i M RICE 54, S. I. I. After the newness of the ii)2i season had worn off, the Owls settled down to a steady drubbing of the plucky Louisiana eleven. Kennedy made the first touchdown in the initial quarter. Then Swartz cut loose and annexed three touchdowns in the next period, Kennedy gathering in still another one. In the third quarter Alexander fell on a fumble behind the S. I. I. goal, and Dyer circled ends for a score. Swartz made the final touchdown in the last quarter. The game was re]Dlete with long dashes. Swartz tore off thirty to fifty yard gains whenever the occasion demanded, and along with Dyer ran the Louisi- anans off their feet. The line displayed its expected power. Duggan ' s injury caused much gloom at first, but Dutton proved an able sub- stitute in that game and thereafter. 2 ii i j ' ill ' J I ' VfWtmit :.cs IJ ' i  . rr ' , ;V ;. ' ,; ' ,n,-,:,? ; . ' •• ' ' ■• ' ■ ' « ' ' - - v .. -. • f tu::_ . • , BAYLOR 17, RICE 14 The bitterest pill Rice had to swallow was the defeat handed her by the Bears, simply because she had been in the habit of beating Baylor and was so sure of victory that she discounted the possibility of a surprise. Baylor proved later that she had a good, if lucky little team, and the Owl loss was no disgrace. Rice at all times displayed her superiority. On straight football she made two touchdowns, and came within two yards of winning in the last quarter. On the other hand Bradshaw ' s beautiful broken field run of fifty yards and the famous guard-to-tackle fake with which the Bears scored against Boston College accounted for Baylor ' s touchdowns. Bradshaw also booted a field goal in the second half. The Owl line was superb and Dyer, Kennedy and Boettcher terrified the Bears with their attack. Rice fought the better fight, perhaps ; Baylor won the game, which is of more importance. To batter through a husky, powerful football team for eleven first downs while holding them to one ; to push the ball to the one yard line and see it return to the enemy because of a momentary miscue ; to fling runners back for losses time after time only to have one man slip by and block a punt for a touchdown ; to fight desperately through a heart-breaking game until the last minute of play, pull a forward pass for a sixty yard gain and touchdown — and then miss goal for the tying point; that is what makes fatalists of football men. Keyed up to win the Tulane game and thereby repay the student body for its loyal welcome after the Baylor episode, the Owls were never the same again. Tulane brought down a mighty strong eleven. Unable to best the Owls, they nevertheless staved off defeat, fought hard, and took advantage of the breaks. LeGendre ' s punting was really responsible for their victory. The game saw the end of Eddie Dyer ' s football career ; a wrenched knee received in the first quarter turned into an alarming injury and the fleet half- back was lost to the team for the season. Kennedy and ]McGee were the stars of the day. The Rice fullback plunged time after time for needed line gains, while the swift Irishman startled the stands with a 40-yard dash through a narrow breach shortly after he entered the fray. It was Kennedy who threw a beautiful 30-yard pass and IMcGee who received it and ran thirty more for Rice ' s score. This ]- lay was e. ecuted during the last few seconds, and even as Maggie crossed the goal line the whistle l lew for the end of the game. Rice was en- titled, however, to try for goal from touchdown, which would have meant a final score of 7 to 7 if successful. Calle d upon to perform this nerve-rack- ing duty, Kennedv kicked — and failed. It was the most sensational finish ever seen on Rice field. Rice had little difficulty in disposing of the Pirates, who, crippled and bat- tered by previous defeats, were no match for the fast-playing Owls. Swartz featured with an 8o-yard run for touchdown, matching his goal from kick-off in the first game of the season. Swartz scored two touchdowns, Kennedy one and Chambers another. The toll of this game was IcGee. A hard tackle snapped his ankle, and he was carried off the field unconscious, out for the season. The game was not a particularly brilliant one, though it held the attention of the spectators from start to finish. The Pirates displayed their usual vicious fight against the Grey and Blue, and their line stood up remarkably well against the superior strength of the Owls. . ' Uf • f ' ' f ' : ' 9 ' ' .A V THE TEXAS GAME Naturally the morale of the team was at a low state before the Texas game. However, the coaches made an inspiring talk to the Rice student body, and team and school alike were determined to fight the Longhorns as they had never fought before. Two hundred pep-filled students made the trip to Austin. There was nothing to it, however — nothing but Texas. Never have the Owls played a team in better form than were the Longhorns. Backs who would not stay tackled; linemen who would not quit charging: interference which would not break up, carried them to an over-whelming 56-0 victory. And yet the Rice men fought hard and gamely — tried for a touchdown in the last minute of play. Texas had forged another link in the chain with which she has bound the Rice morale since 1916. Texas stars were too numerous to mention — Klam, Tynes, McCallum, McCul- lough and Swenson were perhaps outstanding. Chambers and Kennedy led the Rice fight, and there were no quitters in the line. The Owls will never understand how A. M. held them. v(K %v •KNi H i ?: • li. • • • ., ' yy y ? ' ;-.- vN ;. ' ' V ' :V ' ' ' ■ ' ■Uvwu. ' .Sry mwiW - ' V ' ' ' RICE 7, S. M. U. As crippled as the Owls and probably no more elated over their season record, the Mustangs invaded Houston, threatened the Rice goal twice and held the Grey and Blue scoreless for three periods. Finally Rice advanced the ball to within striking distance of the S. M. U. goal and hammered it across by sheer force. The game as a whole was featureless and uninteresting. Kitts, fast halfback, tore ofif a couple of long runs at the start of the game, and for a time it seemed that the Mustangs would score. The tide turned, however, and Rice commenced to gain steadily, making fourteen first downs to S. M. U. ' s four. Kennedy dived through for the Owl touchdown. There were many penalties, particu- larly against the Grey-Blue. ...vw--. .::,iv -• ' : ,tV6s,-. i y t-:. i • t ,- The Owls were rather ashamed to admit that the A. M. touchdown, scored in the first quarter, was unearned. Some misunderstanding arose in the back- field and Barrett snapped the ball from the 20-yard line into the open ozone. Wilson of A. M. recovered it and crossed the goal line almost unimpeded. All in all, it was a great game. While the Aggies may not have been playing up to form, the Owl showing was wonderful and the ' 21 team won its spurs for the season on it alone. Swartz made some long gains. Chambers got off some pretty punts, Boettcher specialized in breaking up passes, and Kennedy did his best work of the season. The affair was witnessed by one of the largest crowds ever assembled on Rice field. The block of cadet khaki, the blue and white patch of Rice co-eds, the struggling men on the field, made up a great spectacle. v , vv« ; . '  ; RICE 28, TRINITY 14 Full credit is due Trinity for the surprises they sprang on that windy day in mid-November. Certain of defeat at the hands of the bigger and better team, they did not leave their heads behind, but used them to good advantage ; while the Owls were caught with their digits in the wrong position. As long as Trin- ity quit fooling Rice mowed them down. On Rice ' s first kick-off against the gale, Trinity promptly returned with a punt which sailed far down the field toward the Owl goal. Pettit was on side and he got down and recovered the ball, taking it over for a touchdown in the first minute of play. In the last quarter two long passes from Lowex to Lear- ing gained sixty yards for a second Tiger score. Trinity ' s two tallies were not sufficient to counterbalance the points Rice rolled up. but they were unbargained for at that. It was just another proof of the axiom that the best place to play a football game is a good dirt field — not the dope sheets. - ' r - i.l • f w, ;.4%VX • - liv - ..ukVv. i M ' ' iii s?? • ?? :- y i ii ' THE THANKSGIVING GAME Rice ' s alumni returned to their old haunts for some turkey and a football game. They got good turkey and a good game, though the score was not in Rice ' s favor. Oklahoma U., working an unbeatable aerial attack, defeated the Owls 27-0, completely outclassing the Rice eleven. After making a few downs through the Rice line they opened up with long, short and lateral passes for gain after gain, with our safety men striving only to prevent touchdowns on each play. Kennedy launched a series of 15-yard passes in the second quarter which had the Sooners guessing for a time, but the Owls were unable to produce a touchdown and Oklahoma worked up a defense which Rice was unable to penetrate. Haskell, Ham, Hill and Hendricks were an alliterative and hard- hitting quartet of Oklahomans, and Morrison at full smashed the line for gains when he tried. Nine men played their last game for Rice on this Thanksgiving Day.- FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD 1921 Top Row — Coach Arbuckle, Ulrich, Kendrick, McMurtray, Bodet, Watters, Lamb, Woodward, Williams, Hill, Muckleroy, Becker. Coach Taylor, Coach Nicholas One of the most promising of the candidates for freshman gridiron honors, the tow-headed, tough-looking, tooth-showing San Antonio High School star was elected captain of the fledgling crew at the beginning of the season. Fast as a hawk, a brilliant open-field runner, a remarkable punter, and a hard cus- tomer all the way through, he provided the sensations of the freshman games. It is to be regretted that he will not be eligible for Varsity in ' 22. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL, 1921 The freshmen on the whole enjoyed a most satisfactory season. Their play was erratic at times, but there was never any question as to the innate ability of the men who made up the eleven. They were a fine bunch of football players ; they worked together and worked hard ; and their talent did not fail to improve under the guidance of Coach Arbuckle and the influence of his training methods. Curiously, the temperament of this freshman bunch appeared to vary with the fortunes, good or bad, of the Varsity team. The first game, with the Port Arthur Pirates ( an independent, all-star aggregation ) was played while Bay- lor was beating the Owls ; and though the freshmen outclassed their opponents, they were held to a scoreless tie. Then came the game with Rusk Junior College — an old enemy of Rice slime teams — synonymously with the Varsity-South- western fray. Varsity won, and so did Arbuckle ' s men, running away with an 81-0 score. Armistice day and the Rice-A. AI. classic was the signal for another freshman victory, this time over Terrill Prep School of Dallas, 27-0. Finally, the Owlets won over the Breckenridge High School of San Antonio by the narrow margin of 7-0, about the time the Owls were beating Trinity 28-14. Like the Varsity, the freshmen were over-confident and rather devoid of energy. Some of the stars were Thomas, Smith, Colley and W ' ilford in the back- field ; while in the line they were all good — Kendricks, Starling, Hale, Irvine and Watters perhaps outstanding. .Vi m • ... x • ...u % • ...i«w • ,.:. ' ii,. • iii; • • .. OWLETS 0, PORT ARTHUR The slimes are not to be censured for their showing in the open- ing game, for the Port Arthur men proved later in the season that they had a bang-up football organization. Even at that they were swept off their feet by the Owlet attack and only through desperate defensive work did they avert a touchdown. The fresh- man goal was never endangered, but the team was unable to make the best of its own opportunities to score. OWLETS 81, RUSK The freshmen ran the gamut of their gridiron tricks in the Rusk game, piling up touchdown after touchdown against the hard-fighting but helpless opposing team. The visitors were on the defensive from the beginning, but their defensive was not quite equal to the strains the slimes put upon it. The freshmen proved that they couldn ' t be stopped if they ever cut loose. ..•• .. OWLETS 27, TERRILL The most interesting was with Terrill Prep — a school which has produced championship teams for more than a decade, and which met its second defeat in 13 years at the hands of the Owlets. The fighting spirit of the visitors never ebbed during the course of the battle, but it was no match for the brilliance of what amounted practically to an all-star high school eleven with the advantage of universitv football training. OWLETS 7, BRECKENRIDGE The last game was marred by extremely poor playing on the part of the overconfident freshmen. Many costly fumbles were recorded, and the Owlet goal was seriously endangered for the first time. A desperate effort in the third quarter finally netted the slimes a touchdown, and they were able to hold the high school team scoreless thenceforth. BiBvi saiiBnm ...•%« • - ;,.r • ii. ■ • • ..

If the season had lasted a few months longer, members of the mid-season squad would undoubtedly have had numerous chances to participate in the Varsity schedule. At the rate injuries were carrying off the first-string men, the Varsity would have dwindled down to Dr. Jack and the coaches by that time. Shortly after the Texas game, Coach Yerges issued a call for additional men to fill the depleted ranks. The men who answered were grouped into a special squad and given intensive tutelage. They were handicapped with the nickname of The Dumbs ; some of them had much to learn about football ; and they all knew that the chances were slim for berths on the first squad ; but they responded willingly and did their durndest to help out. Under the guidance of Yerges and Hilty, assisted by Taylor and Rafferty, they picked up quite a bit of gridiron lore, and it is to be hoped that many of them will report for the 1922 squad. ..iwv •  v,.;: • !.:• • , The Rooters Every man on the held for the snake-dance, every man in the stands for the yell-liar- rage, every man ilown town for the pep parades — this was the spirit of the rooters all the season through.

Athletic Manager Caix Saddled with one of the hardest jobs that scho- lastic activities provide, Arthur Cain guided the des- tinies of the Athletic Association and brought the (lid ship through under full sail. The games were well advertised and well managed, and Cain received an R in appreciation of his services. 1)k.

With a knack for antici- pating passes and getting in the middle of plays, full of energy and fight, he has gained a reputation as one of the fastest and headiest guards in the confer- ence. He was a recognized all-State man in former years, and he placed with the top-notchers again, despite several handicaps, in 1922. McKean has grown up with Rice basketball ; from the year he donned his first squad trunks to his final, hard-fought season as captain of the Owl cagers, he has demonstrated his ambition, his ability, his loyalty and his pluck, time and time again. His departure is Rice ' s loss, and no one gainsays that. 1 ■ i-dL x Jiijoa i ' iiJASv.iSiesajiiaiiaaix ' iiiiJS iJi: Alexander, jMillER Decatur, Ga. The towering guard served as a stumbling block in the path of many fleet footed opponents. Advancing dribblers bade goodbye to the ball when they saw him firmly planted before his own goal with his eyes fixed on the sphere. Alexander had been previously used as a center, but his real ability came out in the new position and his tenacity was rewarded by a successful year. A three-letter man, Aleck ' s absence from the court next season will be a loss to the team. Willis, Noel Hydro, Okla. Captain elect, one of the strong- ' est, most dependable defensive men in the Conference, Willis set the pace for hard fighting and brilliant playing. One of his notable feats of the season was the holding of Keen, the tall center from A. J I., to one goal per game. He was a valuable man at the forward posi- tion, and started the season as cen- ter, giving a remarkable all-around performance. His driving tactics and dependability mark him as a conscientious leader, and in his steadiness and surety he will form the bulwark of a fighting team in ' - ' 3- ...rtw: •• ,..: Ii. • ' ! y. y ' . y ' ' ; • ' ' V if ' ' ' ' - •; ' ■ ' • i ' ' ' -i ' V ' :- Todd, Wallace Houston, Texas One of the veterans from last year ' s team, Todd came rapidly to the front after a late start. His ac- curate eye and speed served to more than offset his lack of weight ; and next year, his last, should find him one of the strongest cogs in the wheel. Kennedy, Rankin Sabinal, Texas Football star extra- ordinary, he added to his laurels by pleasing performances on the basketball floor. His bulldog, driving methods were a force both on de- fense and on offense. He was one of the most aggressive players seen on a Texas court. He received his third R for services rendered as forward and guard on Rice quintets. Coleman, Leslie Corpus Christi, Texas Combining a marvelous ability to shoot from the hardest positions, with brilliant passing and dribbling, he fought his way to honors as the star of the ' 22 Owls. Coleman was kept out of 1 92 1 basketball by a broken arm, but he returned to the team as the pivot of the Owl at- tack. A senior next year, he is ex- pected to be an inestimable asset toward a championship team for Rice. ...rtV • y f,. Bakkk, Claruxce Franklin, La. The elongated product of last year ' s freshninn team soon earned a berth on the Varsity five, and was one of the finds of the season. He managed to get the jump on oppos- ing centers and nearly always pre- sented his team with the advantage, while his [jroficiency at tossing goals was another asset to the team. The lengthy Louisianan is to be remembered especially for his Jjlay- ing in the first Baylor game. ■vvn ' ' ' ' . yytf ' ' . ' j v ' ' BASKETBALL, 1922 The history of the 1922 basketball season, truly enough, is merely that of a series of disheartening defeats ; yet it is interesting, for it gives the story of an untried team which started out with much enthusiasm, keen ambition and some ability ; went on the rocks immediately and disastrously ; learned to work together and fight together against odds : lost nearly all the games it played and yet never failed to retain the respect of the student body behind it, through sheer nerve and spirit. There was really good material in the squad. Captain Hugh AIcKean, ' ill s, Coleman and Swartz were sure-fire cagers, and many others had the requisites for stellar play. They were ably coached by Verges of Ohio State ; he knew how to play the game, knew how to teach it, and had the backing of his men. In the opening game, however, the need of teamwork was sadly apparent. Then there was too much early season awkwardness and hesitation ; too much tendency for individual play ; too much wild passing and too little skill at basket shooting. One by one these faults were corrected, and the team was in its real swing when it won the Baylor game, though it never hit a winning streak. It gave the near-champion Aggies a hard fight while they were here, too. The team perfected its guarding and adopted the use of the five-man defense, to the detriment of enemy scoring. There was another phase, too, which might be prudishly omitted, but which we believe should be touched upon (very lightly) : that was the epidemic of boils. Everybody had them. They made fast, rough, sweaty playing an agony — but that was just the sort of game the Rice men put up. Maybe they were a source of the team ' s fighting spirit. THE OPENING GAME ' ell, the season began with the two S. H. N. I. contests: and, woeful to relate, the set-ups clearly demonstrated their superiority over the Rice Quintet. The Owls won the first game 33 to 29 by dint of a thrilling spurt in the five- minute play-off, which was made necessary by a tied score. Then the Sam Houston bunch got busy and literally ran the team ragged in the second game, winning 34 to 14. TWO WITH A. AND M. A. jNI. had already beaten Normal herself ; nevertheless, the Owls traveled to College Station undaunted and met up with Tiny Keen and the rest of the Aggies, just getting into the stride which took them to the championship. Rice dropped the first game by a large score, but came back the second night, losing by the closer margin of 12 to 19. TEXAS TAKES TWO The Texas Longhorns then invaded Houston for a brace of mix-ups and demonstrated that they had the same jinx over the Owls in basketball as in football. Their teamwork was perfect, they were fast and accurate and Rice lost both games, 13-33 and 12-29. There was not a minute, however, in which the Owls were not fighting to the utmost. RICE 25, BAYLOR 22 The sting of the Texas defeat was really good for the team. It particularly picked up on its passing game and in its next contest, played at Waco, com- pletely dazzled the Baylor quintet, winning after a rally 25 to 22. The victory was a slight one but it stirred up all the enthusiasm in the world back at Rice. S. M. U. WINS The Owls went next to Dallas to play S. AI. U., another team which had yet to win a Conference game. The Rice five, taken oflf their guard and failing to put their best into the game, obligingly donated, 16 to 20. When S. AI. U. re- turned for a game at Houston, the Owls lost another close contest 19 to 23 — an uphill fight all the way, with Rice rooters hanging over the rails to plead for faster ]:)laying and better luck. HOLDING A. AND M. A. M. won its two return games 15 to 6 and 13 to 9; the scores show the nature of these affairs. Unable to cope with the Aggies at goal shooting, the Rice five developed a brilliant defense which confined the visitors to long shots for goals. Their scoring machine hit on few of its cylinders those two nights. TEXAS AGAIN Despite a shattered first team, the University of Texas five took the Owls into camp again at Austin, winning 21 to 8 and 36 to 11. Absence of several star players did not seem to bother them. As usual Rice fought hard on the defensive but was deficient in goal throwing. THE LAST GAME Baylor redeemed her reverse at Owl hands by trouncing the Rice men 26 to 1 1 in the final clash of the season. The visitors took the lead from the start, playing a shifty, speedy and daring game which penetrated our defense despite the efforts of Captain ]McKean, playing his last contest for the Grey and Blue. ,.. • !. .av • ' yr T sf Si-ifX i- Fitch, Sam Houston. Texas A member of the Central High, Houston, championship basketball team of 192 1, and an all- State star of that year. Fitch was elected to lead the strong freshman aggregation. Possess- ing a good eye for the basket, a level head, and ])lenty of speed, he soon proved his qualifica- tions, not only as a brilliant player but as a cap- able captain for the Owlets. His work at for- ward put him in the center of offensive forma- tions: he kept his team together and led the freshman attack. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL, 1922 The freshmen had shining prospects on the court, and they lived up to them. Fitch and Moore, a pair of all-State cagers from the Central High School team of Houston ; Ray, a Rosenberg High School star ; and Federman, another experienced basket shooter, were some of the outstanding candidates for the team ; and every member of the comparatively small squad showed up splen- didly before the season ended. Leslie Mann was originally slated to coach the first-year men, but after his resignation the duty devolved upon Mr. Arbuckle and then Marion Lindsay of the Varsity squad. Lindsey, a former high school star at basketball, gave his entire time to building up a fast, cohesive, game-winning quintet. The slimes began with two decisive victories over the Houston Heights High School five, interspersed with a defeat of the Christ Church team, which later won the city church league championship. They were next held to a 27-22 score by the hard-fighting South End Junior aggregation. Following this they played a brace of games with the Sam Houston Normal team at Huntsville, losing 5-17 and 13-30. It would hardly have done at that for the freshmen to beat a quintet which had defeated the Varsity. Central High School of Houston and South End Junior were the next victims of the battle-axe. The weapon failed to function against the Galveston Y. M. C. A. Seagulls, how- ever. This was the same bunch which spoiled a perfect season for the fresh- men of 1921 ; and they defeated Lindsey ' s men 28 to 19. The slimes were triumphant in their final game with the Triple K. five of Beaumont, winning 47 to 17. j m i K s aattK J ■■- r-c ■ .. - -w fcy • • ' Hughes, Jimmy Sherman, Texas The captain elect won his spurs during the 192 1 season by virtue of heady, all- around good work. He covered left field like a crop of Bermuda grass, was a judge of flies and grounders and con- tributed speed and accuracy to the line- up. Jimmy has the backing of his men, he knows the game and will make an ex- cellent leader. H. RLAX, NitPOS Bartlett, Texas One of the best infielders on the team and a heavy hitter, Harlan will be missed in 1922. His post was third base. Ne- pos established a rep for hitting in the pinches when he cut loose with a three-bagger in the second A. M. game, scoring two men ahead and start- ing a rally which won Rice the game. Toward the close of the season he slid into an enemy base and came up with a badly sprained ankle which shut him out from further playing. BR, Di,if:Y, Chester Baileyville, Texas The lanky Baileyville boy was just coming into his own as a college ball jilayer when he was carried off by grad- uation. Scarcity of experience was his only trouble, and he could have held down right field ably with another season. DuTTox, Clixtox Grandfield, (3kla. I ack of bulk and experience did not seem to bother Dutton, who in his first year of college baseball cavorted sur- prisingly well at short-stop. Clinton was a reliable batter as well, and was a wel- come addition to the team. He will be hack in 1922. ...rtW • - yy.. V? 1%. KiNNEAR, Country Beaumont, Texas Kinnear won a regular berth with the Owls through his hard work and steady plugging, and second base was all his. Practically new at the horsehide game, he nevertheless developed quickly and will be a dependable man for the coming squad. Coleman, Les Corpus Christi, Texas Coleman was the ideal first-sacker type, tall, long-armed and shifty, and de- spite the fact that he joined the squad purely as an experiment he earned a reg- ular place on the line-up. He showed much improvement during the season and will probably be on the 1922 nine. Walker, Don Denison, Texas ' alker did all the receiving for the Owls and was one of the valuable men of the. team. He knew his pitchers and studi ' ed his batters ; his catching ability was surpassed only by his head work. His one trouble was with the baserun- ners, and a little improvement on his pegging will make Walker one of the best receivers in the State for next year. DuNKERLv, Allen Houston, Texas As a pitcher Dunkerly failed to know the joy of victory during the Owl sea- son, and too often experienced the chagrin of an overpowering attack from opposing batsmen. He had the stuiif of a first-class pitcher but was deficient in mound experience and real knowledge of the game. With three months of sum- mer baseball behind him he should pro- duce in 1922. i V ' ' BOETTCHER, BoSh Houston, Texas Boettcher played baseball just as he did football — steadil} ' , pluggingly, a hard worker all the way. He performed in the outfield without making a stellar showing, } ' et earned his place on the team and his letter. He will be back with the next squad. ' Melton, Peg Houston, Texas Melton was another member of the M. R. C— Mound Relief Corps. Along with Dimkerly he kept opponents busy trotting around the sacks. Nevertheless Melton had more stuff on the ball than even Dyer ; despite the handicap of a wooden leg he is a fair fielder ; and with more inside dope and e.xperience he will create a sensation. . «. _ Stephenson, Dug Beaumont, Texas Stephenson earned his laurels as a utility man, stepping into Harlan ' s shoes at the end of the season and filling them ably. He proved to be a good fielder and fair hitter and will be back for two more years of Rice baseball. ;; iu% • .. x :.,%v • yy, .:. • ii. • • BASEBALL, 1921 Still in the hole but coming out — that is the story of 192 1 Rice baseball. Southpaw Eddie Dyer captained a team whose main ingredients were untried players but whose grim determination and earnest work enabled Rice to better her 1 020 percentage by winning three out of twelve games played. The squad was unusually large at the start of the season. Rice did her utmost to produce a good team, and Coach Cawthon boiled down his material to a dozen or more men who lacked nothing but experience. In fact they were good enough to make prospects for 1922 exceedingly roseate, as most of them will be back. Captain Dyer proved again to be one of the best pitchers in the conference. His work on the mound and at the bat featured Rice ' s play. He twirled a no-hit game against the Baylor Bears and blanked the Mustang nine : he held A. M. to four hits and batted in the decisive scores in one of the games. Don Walker was a steady and dependable catcher ; Coleman, with his long reach and heady play performed well at first ; Kinnear covered second ably ; hard-hitting Clinton Dutton appeared at shortstop ; Harlan, a veteran of the previous season, held down third and hit a mean baseball until his untimely injury in the Texas game. Bradley, Hughes and Boettcher took care of the outer gardens. Stevens proved efifective as a utility man. Melton and Dun- kerly were substitute pitchers who, while unfavored with victories, worked hard and secured experience which will benefit them and the Owl team next year. The majority of the games were close. Sometimes, however, the Blue and Grey fielders were deluged with hits and runs, and at other times blew up with reverberating reports, — so that in five games alone opponents scored a total of 62 runs to our 10. The rest of the time, and especially with Dyer in the box, the Owls could be counted upon for nice defensive work. The three games that were won, chiefly by virtue of the unbeatable pitching of Eddie, were with A. M., Baylor, and S. M. U. Incidentally, A. JNI. lost the South- western championship by losing to Rice. - .V ill • vvN ' -..ikv ■ ,..rt x • y ;. ffiti:- • :) ' . : Cagan Steals Home; ■k Skumlmi •y ..;. • !•: • • . . r. 2 — Baylor, 40 ; Rice, j.

His record for the 192 1 season inckided the rolhng up of 79 points in seven meets ; the taking of fourteen first places; the tying (unoflicial) of the world ' s record in the 100-yard dash; Southern championship in the shot-put ; successful participation in the 22O, the 440 and the discus throw. He was high-point man of the Texas meet and the T. I. A, . meet, and came within a fraction of a point of the same honor in the conference gathering. Despite injured knees and jerked tendons Preacher has contrived to keep up with the swiftest of the Texas cinder stars and is a man to be dreaded in any event he enters. He led the track men last year and will be at hand again in 1922. it. • • • . •■ ' ' «. ' ..• ' V ' 4 ' • v v ' _ . ' ' vmv -: w j-m ; ;. ' - DowEi-L — The season was one of disappointment for the veteran Chief on whom Rice had counted for sure places in the quarter. After taking second in the first meet, with Baylor, Dowell fell heir to a weakened leg which kept him out of the running thenceforth. This was his last year with the team. If ' W ' - ' j - Ml p ' ir DePr. to — The talented pole vaulter ' s third year with the Owls was on the whole a successful one, though the perversion of fate kept the five-point honors away from him until the A. AI. meet. He scored a tie for first in the confer- ence event. Dee displayed some skill, moreover, with the javelin and took first at the T. I. A. A. ...rtVV • . .. McCoKQUODALE — One of the surprises of the season was the lanky Beaumont boy who out- stri])ped the veteran DePrato in several instances with the long bamboo pole. There was only one meet he failed to tally in, and he won his event in three others. Un- fortunately he will not com])lete his last year with the Owls. H ,.. ' - r lV • .ilVX • ' llC ' - ' .,.i N • Dyer — Gravity and the resist- ance of the air were the only things that could stop Dyer in the broad jump. He took his first in every meet he entered except one — and then the L. S. U. leapers from his own home State had to surpass him. Six firsts for one season is not so bad. The coming one v ill be his last. -jfSw Goss — Not content with under- studying Lindsey the flying Abilene product swooped through for his most successful season in 1921. The 220-yard dash was his special cere- mony but he entered the hundred to make Preacher run faster and on one occasion bested the Owls ' shot-gun. Goss was high-point man of the S. f. U. meet; he cap- tured seven firsts during the season and scored 59 points. . VM ' -. vN ' ji ' •;• ' ' ' ' ' ' . • ? ' ' ' l V m ' ' ' ' ■ ' ' U ' ' ' - CoLEMAX — Leslie came through with the goods when the goods were most needed. Second in the quarter and first in the half was his usual arrangement of points ; in the latter event especially he made good as a successor to Har- lan. He took his first there in the . . i! : I. meet and duitlicated for the conference aft ' air. McGiCE — He is short of stature and not a fairy on form but he was the Owls ' best bet as a hurdler and he brought home firsts in the Te.xas meet and tlu- S. M. V. meet. He won the high jumii from Baylor and was a consistent performer in the broad jum]j. His services will not be available in 1022, unfortun- ately. .iiiWW ' ... % . • ....«V • ..,«% X • •Xy... . • y H.. •:i- M ' ' ' : ssajjims!m iF m TRACK, 1921 Despite a series of defeats at the hands of Texas, A. AI. and L. S. U., Rice finished her 1921 track season with a wonderful recovery, winning the T. I. A. A. meet far in advance of her nearest opponent and pulhng down second place in the Southwestern Conference afifair at ' aco. The season opened with a brilliant victory over Baylor, and later S. AI. U. was summarily van- quished on her home grounds ; but the intervening and following dual struggles were lost. Boasting an array of individual stars some of whom were without parallel on the Texas track and field, Rice might ascribe her lack of success to a de- ficiency of almost as good ' ' men for the second places. As a matter of fact, exactly half the number of first places open in the various meets she entered (including the two conference gatherings) were captured by the Owls. Captain Lindsey again led the team as point scorer extraordinary. He and Goss made the dashes safe for Rice. Coleman left the quarter for the half mile and proved himself extremely v ell adapted for the event. Alexander rendered valuable services in the weights, Dyer specialized in the broad jump and DePrato was up to old form in the pole vault. McCorquodale, Harlan, Dowell, Hargis and NIcGee, if not aces, at least ranked high in the deck. Several stars were picked off by injuries before the season ended, and the Owl showing in the Conference meet was not at all representative. Harlan was going great guns in the half mile before a broken ankle took him out. Dowell had to give up his quarter mile and relay lap almost at the start on account of an injured leg. Alexander was kept out of some late-season events for the same reason, and Lindsey. of course, was handicapped all the way through with his ' trouble. The fact that the college appreciated the game efforts of the crippled team was shown all through the season by untiring support on the part of the stu- dent body. ] Iany of the athletes will be back for 1922 and there are prospects for a more successful season. :..i «v • •A-. • ii. • • . r BAYLOR BEATEN TIk- initial trial found the Rice team iti sjreat form, r.aylor. led by s])eedy Wolfe and hurdlin - Frazier, came and went away again with 40 points to the Owls ' J-J. Rice took first in eleven events, includins the relay — a beautiful mile stepped off in 3:3()2 5 by Goss, Coleman, Harlan and Dowell. Lindsey and C.oss snatched the sprints from the Bears, running the century and 220-yard dash in 10 and 212 5 seconds, respectively. Whether frotn loss of form on the j(iurne - down f)r from some other reason the Baylor track men were literally run iitT their feet by the Owls; while in the field events they were overwhelm- ingl - outclassed. . 11 in all it was one of the best track days Rice has ever ex|)erienced. To Austin the Owls pilgrimaged in hopes of a victory in the Longhorn cor- With the dashes, shot put, broad jump and pole vault sewed up fortune seemed for a time in fair way of appeasing this meritorious desire, but Texas forged ahead winner in the end. Dowell ' s absence was sorely felt in the quarter and relay. Having jumped from the pan of probation he shortly landed in the fire of an injured leg. Loss of the half mile also hurt, but McGee ' s victory in the 120-yard high hurdles and Lindsey ' s place in the discus throw were wel- come surprises. The Owl chieftain was high point man, incidentally, carving 14 notches on his belt. The meet as a whole, though held under adverse con- ditions, was cleanly fought and lost by a margin of only fifteen points. LUCKY LOUISIANA Rice put u]j a hard fight against the shghtly superior L. S. U. team, but losses in the distances, hurdles and several of the field events were too much for the Grey and Blue defenders. Helm, touted as a demon in the dashes, was edged out by both Lindsey and Goss in the lOO and ran second to Goss in the 220. The entire meet abounded in interesting features — the sprinting of Johnson, L. S. U. ' s one-armed quarter-miler ; the work of Hull of Louisiana in the mile and two mile events; the pretty half-mile reeled ofif by Nepos Harlan of Rice. Alexander won the discus, and Lindsey the shot but the final score showed L. S. L with 68 1 6 points, Rice with 485 6. This was another track meet which everyone enjoyed participating in. ! fj ...rtW • ' •,.. AGGIES TAKE ALL Another week saw an entirely different situation with the strong A. M. team atop the Owls ' own roost. The meet was full of sensations and, despite the one-sidedness of the 83-34 score, gamely contested. The Owls won firsts in the 100, 880, shot put, pole vault and broad jump. Several watches gave Lindsey credit for tying the world ' s record of 9 3 5 seconds in the hundred. The fast Weir of A. M., like ' olfe of Baylor was completely nosed out in this event by Preacher and Goss. His victory in the 220 might have been questioned had not Goss suffered a slight injury in the preceding race. Harlan, hurt in a baseball game, was ably replaced by Leslie Coleman in the half mile. Lindsey tied the Southern shot record with a 43 foot 10 inch heave. DePrato vaulted 11 feet 6 inches, and Dyer broad-jumped 22 feet 2V2 inches. In short, the boys were spreading their stuff. All this, however, was not nearly suf- ficient to win from the Aggie aggregation. Mahan, with a record javelin throw and Denny, with a high-point mark of 11, were among the A. L scintillants. THE T. I. A. A. MEET Rice had little difficulty in winning the T. I. A. A. meet, held this year at W ' axahachie on INIay 6. The Owls finished third with 60 1 3 points not so far ahead of the hard fighting T. C. U. team with 44 ' ' 2. Lindse_v gathered in four first places and high point honors, dashing his lOO in 9 4 5 and carry- ing oft ' the shot put. discus throw and quarter mile. McCorquodale annexed the pole vault, Goss won the 220, Dyer the broad jump and DePrato the javelin throw. T. C. U. had good men in Fowler on the hurdles and dashes. Parker in the high jump and ' eanis in the mile and half mile. Parker broke the T. I. A. A. record with a spring of 5 feet 1 1 inches. Other schools entering were S. yi. U., 20; Austin College, gyi Trinity. 6: Southwestern 55 6. 4lkw«L« •i ' . 0:: . } SOUTHWESTERN CONFERENCE With the odds against them the Owls still hoped to edge out in the confer- ence meet at Waco. A. ] I., with a remarkably well balanced team, was bound to win it, however, and so the) ' did, with a total of 54 points. Rice finished second with 2, getting four first places, a tie for one first, two seconds and one third. Lindsey won his hundred and shot put, Coleman the half mile and Dyer the broad jump. DePrato tied for first in the ]wle vault, IcCorquodale taking third. The relay team finished second, while ( lOss lost the 220 to Wier in a verv close race. rr ...rtvv • yyy;..: ii; • SOUTHWESTERN CONFERENCE— Continued Conference records were broken by Dickerson of Oklahoma A. I. in the mile, 4:284 5; Loop of Texas in the two mile, 10:62 5; Dieterich of A. M. in the javelin throw, 179 feet 5 inches; and the A. M. team in the mile relay, which was paced off in 3:26 1 5. Coleman broke no records in his event, but the 880 yards were run in beautiful style, with a time of 2 :2. Sanders of A. M. was high point man with 11 J 2, though Lindsey was but a fraction of a point behind him. Other teams finished as follows: Baylor, 245 6; Oklahoma A. M., 17; Texas, 172 3; S. M. U., 8; Arkansas, 4 4. AT NEW ORLEANS Lindsey, doss and Colinen were sent to enter the Southern Association Ama- teur Athletic Union track and field meet at New Orleans, which proved not so bad as it sounded. The} ' took second place in this meet by themselves, annexing four first places and 26 points. Lindsey took firsts in the 100 and shot put and second in the discus ; Goss first in the 220 and second in the century ; Coleman first in the half mile. One more man and they could have carried off the relay, too. I-,indsey ran his hundred in y 4, 5 seconds and Coleman reached the acme of his form in the half mile. The_jiieet was won by a New Orleans athletic club, while many other clubs and college teams participated for the championship of the South. The Rice men brought liack numerous medals for their showing at the meet. AT CHICAGO Rice was represented at the National Intercollegiate Track Meet by Lindsey, who entered two events — the century and the shot put. Lindsey ' s previous records in both of these numbers qualified him for j)oints in them, but Lady Fortune did not smile that day as brightly as usual. In the preliminaries for the 100-yard dash, the Rice sprinter slipped on the get-away, and fell to the ground. His rapidity in recovering himself was remark- able, but even then it was too late to nose ahead of the rest, and so Lindsey failed to place. Southern man, whom he had never failed to outsprint, went ahead of him. He was more fortunate in his other event, hurling the shot a distance which gave Rice fourth place, and a total of i point in the meet. AT DANVILLE At the Annual !)an -ille, Illinois, Track Meet on the Fourth of July, Lindsey again rejjresented Rice. This meet, given under the ausjiices ' of the .A. A. LL, is inclined to be rather a gathering of individual track stars. . 11 the larger colleges of the LTnited States were rejiresented. Lindsey that day took four first places: first in the 53-yard dash, first in the century, first in the 200 sprint, and first in the shot put. He was also high point man for the meet, receiving a handsome leather traveling bag. For his first places, he was awarder! four handsome gold watches. ill. Coleman, Leslie Corpus Christi, Texas Rice ' s sole bet in tennis, Coleman made good as singles champion of the T. I. A. A. and run- ner-up in the Southwestern Conference singles. It is a joy to see his work on the courts. He . ai plays a driving, smashing game, killing every- WT K thing in sight, particularly lobs ; and he sends h his fast serve into the opposite court with all the power of his long, uncoiling frame. Hi southpaw attack gives him additional advantage n As a freshman Coleman teamed with his brother S Stuart, and together they carried off the T I A. A. and Southwestern doubles, while ' Les was runner-up in the con ference singles. It is hoped that his next two years on the court ill mean at least a singles championship for Rice. TENNIS, 1921 Prospects for a successful tennis season were dimmed from the start by the absence of suitable material to compete with the brilliant combinations of other schools. Leslie Coleman, a star of the previous year, was the only safe bet of the Rice team. His running mate, Albert McWhorter, was the best of the other candidates, but was unable to entice the eagle of victory to his banner outside. The season began with two dual meets with Texas, in which Chili Granger and Drumright ran off with the laurels. The meets furnished Coleman with experience and knowledge, however, which proved valuable in the conference events. Coleman had a fairly easy time in the T. I. A. A. singles, carrying away the championship cup from his closest contender, S. iM. U. The showing of Coleman in the Southwestern Conference meet was excep- tional. After participating in his regular track events, he donned his flannels to play some of the crack tennis men of the South for the singles cup. He de- feated Chambers of A. M. 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 ; Granger of Texas 0-6, 7-5, 6-4 ; and Gregory of Texas 8-6, 0-6, 6-4; but he lost to Drumright in three straight sets. Rice did not enter a doubles team. ..m :.. wv ' It. • • , • ' .. •■ ' . ' . . SOPHOMORE TRACK CHAMPIONS I ■ Top Rozv — Lange. Copeland, Bickford, Robertson, Cook, Johnson, Aitken Bottom Rozc — Xye, Ritter, Hair, Kennedy INTERCLASS ATHLETICS The annual interclass track meet, on March 24, went to the sophomores by the narrow margin of 3 points. The freshmen ran a hair-sphtting second, while third and fourth places went to the seniors and juniors. It was a great meet and excitement ran high throughout its course. The seniors were in the running for some time ; then the freshmen and sophomores commenced fighting it out event by event. When the relay was announced the freshmen were only a few points behind. To win the relay was to win the meet, or at least to tie the sophomores. The seniors, however, spoiled their hopes by stepping in and carrying off the event themselves. The final scores were : sophomores, 57J 2 ; freshmen, , 54 2 ; seniors, 38 ; juniors, 10. There was no interclass football in ' 22. due to the high casualties among unconditioned ])layers the year before. However, a basketball elimination was staged between the four class teams and a quintet recruited from the Institute instructors. This last team, composed of Hathorn, Nicholas, Hopkins, Hilty, and Verges, proved unbeatable and went through its four-game season with a clean record and a clean claim to the pennant. Much interest was manifested in these contests, and every game was ex- ceptionally hard fought. Most of them were in doubt until the final whistle. Coach Hilty, who conducted the tournament, was very enthusiastic over the resulting benefits. :.,t yi yy ,.:. ' • BOO FS.

On the 31st of February I was born accidentally in Houston Heights. Since then I have lived contin- uously, a feat for which I take no small credit. As a baby I showed few of the good looks which I now have, as shown in the appended photo- graph, which the Ameri- can ] Iagazine has con- sented to publish for a nominal fee. I am told that few persons saw in me the possibilities of greatness : how little do our associates know of our potentialities ! My eminence is prob- ably due to my wide travel and extensive reading. There are few places I have not seen ; the books I have not read are yet to be published. The things I have not learned, and do not know, have never been discovered. It is true that my erudition has not been given proper credit by the Rice faculty, but this is undoubtedly due to their narrowness and perversity. I might men- tion in passmg, ho e er. THOMAS P. EATON : of Rice ' s real men. Few of on ' s present good looks were evi at his birth. that I now have one credit. I have not failed to glorify the name of Eaton at Rice. I have, in fact, be- come too popular for my own good. For instance, I am frequently invited to dine on the Senior table, and as I always do my best to stimulate wit, vivacity, and good cheer, my nour- ishment suffers. Capable as I am of holding my own on an ordinary table, the Seniors are almost too much for me. I have been verj- suc- cessful in a political way at Rice, and in the abo- lition of social clubs. )nginating the Toilers ' Society, I was so unfor- tunate as to enlist a group of narrow minded men, unable to truly ap- preciate me ; and after T had thoroughly ar- ranged their business, they were so ungrateful as to exclude me from the management of the club. Probably every other club in the school has asked me to become a member ; but I believe in social equality, and 1 will not be won over. One final note of warning to young men : Never let modesty tri- umph over you. This has been my only drawback. Had I been less chary of sounding my own horn, I feel sure that my ad- vancement would have been even greater. This trait I have now mastered and have brought it into subjection to my powerful will to serve mv ends.

Physical Culture June 19, 1922 What Makes an Athlete? A Study of Brooks Leftwich By Jim Thorpe WALTER C A : I P and I were talking recently of some of the great modern athletes. Noticing that he was dis- playing his usual neglect of the West and South, I ran over a few of the famous college men of those sections, finding him obdurate to most of them. At the mention of Leftwich, however, a Rice Institute track star. Camp be- came visibly enthusiastic. Leftwich holds a record truly phe- nominal for the South. A participant in seven Olympic meets, he is the ac- knowledged representative of South- ern athletes. His fastest time in the mile is ten minutes, eleven seconds, made in a 1908 Ford roadster. It is believed that Leftwich would have captured first in this event at Copen- hagen, had he not become temporarily confused and run the first lap back- wards, necessitating his running six laps in all. Leftwich ' s personal life is as re- freshing as his first name. Brooks. He never allows his athletics to interfere with his social duties, and possesses a lady friend for every make of auto- mobile known. Fellow students count it a privilege to be snubbed by Left- wich when he goes by behind a wind- shield. He possesses a magnificent Greek physique, of which he is justly proud. In my opinion, however, it is not bone and muscle which makes this athlete what he is — it is sheer will power. There is no one today more thor- oughly convinced that he is an athlete than Brooks Leftwich. B. Lei-twich Holder of the world ' s record in head expansion j fci aai: ■;SrrV,ffi , . VKJfi¥:a .

The mere pres- entation of the individual views will serve clearly to develop the points at issue. Quoting from the Idler organ. The Tal- ler, on the question of Idler activities — Our major sport is naturally the social game of golf. Each day will find Wil- liams and Abbey golfing on the campus in full view of the less elite students. Such correct- ness naturally places us in an irreproachable so- cial position. Concurrent with this asset are our exceptional accomplish- ments at snaking. The most approved lines of snake talk will be found issuing from our broth- ers. None other on the campus can compete with us in the capture and disruption of inno- cent virgin hearts. To cajiture them young, and raise them in idler ideals, is our motto. To further this we have become proficient in the gentle art of goldbricking. One of our members has set an example for all to ern- ulate. Have you never seen him in his . xe Wagon ? Then you are incapalile of judging his proficiency. Have you never 1)een waked at unconventional hours by the honking of a horn beneath your window? Then you do not live in East Hall. His success is indubitable: even his slime rivals confess his complete victory. C.i.r.xN in the Talll Further activities of the Idlers, it ap- pears, are the minor branches of school life. To demonstrate their versatility, they occasionally place a man on an athletic team, or run a club-mate for office. Rarely do they elect their men, but the race is good publicity. These two branches are left in general for less refined students, and the true Idler lives according to his name and indulges in only the more effete forms of ex- ertion. In notable contrast to this aristocratic air is the tone of the follow- ing quotation from the .Alpha Rho paper, the Atfhorus: .Athletics and poli- tics are our major forte. All our members are supposed to stand out in some fashion. Those who do not are carefully watched and prompted until they de- velop. Blayney has final- ly been rated as a tennis ]ila er. It is believed that Weldon and Cash- ion will eventually find s))heres of activity and be a credit to their clul). King Duggan is the most notable exam- ple of Alpha Rho manipulation of politics. His election is a tribute to the ingenuity of the Alpha Rho lobbyists. We are proud of our King : he can do no wrong. It is un- deniable that we have a strong hold on the political wires of the school. It takes an .Alpha Rho caucus to determine the win- ners of our spring elections. Furthermore, we have studiously cul- tivated the social graces we were denied I itni I li tiiMlmiiMimi ■ i I ■! r Vhe Literary Digest for October 29, 1921 Glenn in the Tattler Glenn in the Alphorus Contrasting views of the ideal club type in our early raising. Bridge is our hobby at the time of this writing, and we have an exceptional player in Barrett, who writes under the nom de plume of Hoyle. To bridge well is synonymous with good breeding. Hence we are bridging con- stantly. Miscellaneous diversions of ours are drinking and gambling. We are un- doubtedly the most experienced crowd in school and we are not ashamed of our prestige. Even Gresham is now a thor- ough rake and toper. Along with our booze parties, we play poker in an astonishing manner. Entering two plaj ' ers and a sleeper chaser in a game of cards, the Brotherhood lives for a week at the Rice. The Samurai presents a different line on the question of activities. The Chccscknifc in a recent issue, says : The noblest art is tea drinking. To serve well, and to drink elegantly, this royal Jap- anese beverage is the height of refinement. In the manner of holding a cup is revealed the past raising of three generations. The proper technique in the manipulation of spoons and cream pitchers is a matter of heritage. Nightly we congregate in White ' s room and set the urn to bubbling. Around this cheery blaze we make much talk ; there is nothing which inspires eloquence and ■wisdom like a swig of Lipton ' s. We drink it in any form — with or without cream, sugar, lemons, or ice — from the cup or from the pot. Secondarily we indulge in athletics. Swartz will admit he is the best all-around athlete in the college. Our club has also benefitted from the influence of the pulpit. After association with Parson Davis, any meml)er is qualified to preach on any sub- ject. A further accomplishment of merit is our sword swallowing. The most accom- plished sword swallower in the Institute wears the cheeseknife. Bloody Meyer up- holds our honor here. Concerning this question of activities, the barbarian Toiler has this to say : Our chief activity is griping. We gripe at the Idlers for snakes, the Alpha Rhos for drunks, and the Samurai for dumbs. We are the real men, the backbone of Rice. We ring the bell at midnight and hold se- cret meetings in the tower. Wfe are the embodiment of the he-man. Ours is a man ' s club, the Toilers, and not a gentle- man ' s club nor a waiter ' s society. Our em- blem is an Eskimo Pie with ' gripe ' engraved on all six sides. As a political machine nothing can sur- pass our club, although this is a secret. Xobody knows it, but we controlled the last election. To society moves the controversy. So- cially, says the Tattler, we are the elite. We are a co-club with the Tattlers. Our ,..•• .. ' .«kVX • .ni r v - ' V Uhe Literary Digest for October 29, 1921 emblems are combined in our mutual opin- ions of ourselves — the i for Idler and the T for Tattler spelling what we are, IT. Socially, we are jelly beans, but we get away with it. We have more free cars at our disposal than any other organization in school. We all make all the dances. We have one member, Ben Mitchell, who has so excited the jealousy of the would-be terpsichorean artists that he is called ' The Boy with the Brains in his Feet. We are not to be won by the wiles of the town girls ; we are essentially Rice men. and the cloister queens are our meat. Watch us perform in the Sallyport between classes. Fast and fascinating men. we garner the Gle.vn in the Tuili ' necking and loving of the Institute, such as it is. The All horus voices a different feeling. Socially we are not interested in the in- ferior denizens of the quadrangle. They talk too much and in general are not up to our mental sphere. We are more content with the better looking town girls who know enough to give and take with their mouths closed — that is. without talking. We pride ourselves on being connoisseurs. We hate to see girls choke on cigarrette smoke, so we ditch ; Iiss Ox. We like those who drink their liquor straight and curse with a full throat. (Page Miss Laura, the B. L. G.) As a result of our choice the campus has been uptorn by the envy and jealousy of our co-ed sisters. Loud howls of grief follow our dereliction. Our most particular member. Winnsborough, is be- sieged daily by the cloister amps. who en- treat that he return to the fold. To the Samurai go the laurels in this point. The Samurai. says the C iccsc- kuifc. are more faithful than all men. To our home town girls we remain true. To them we shine like stars in the sky. We remember the sweet little girl back home and are not to be beguiled by the sirens of the city. Occasionally we have a date, pro- vided the girl is sufficiently meek and has no social ambitions. Another angle on the social question is to be found in the recent issues of the Toiler: We are content with our social lot. Of course we gripe when the clubmen refuse to give us dances on their programs, but we manage to hold our own — that is, if they are willing to be held. Furthermore, we deny the right of anyone to question our knowledge of the social proprieties. Did not Luecke and Eaton appear at the Prom in full dress? . nd did not Beshara and Rudersdorf accomplish this feat last year, even though it entailed borrowing? Besides, these frivolous and flighty dames of today nauseate us. Shifting the issue to one of personalities, the Tattler defends the Idler type : We endeavor to live up to our name. We have assembled the idlest group of men in existence. Ale.xander. Kennedy. Har- gis and Chambers accomplish something once in a while, despite our efforts to curb them. Our ideal Idlers are to be found in Williams. Bush. Livingston and Perry. Our aim is to he non-entities. Inconspicuous- ness is the height of good dressing : simi- larly, lack of energy is symbolic of true aristocracy. Our representatives in the waiters corps staunchly carry out these ideals. From the All liorns comes a dift ' erent note : To be powerful is the aim of all real men. Our success in cultivating person- ality has been tremendous. We have de- veloped Sousa Supple, the cinch cheese : Honest McGee is a product of our school. Even our enemies will admit our men have personalities, unique though they may be. The Samurai deify that noble element of diet, cheese : ...i X • . y,-.: •i.- • ;- M « ' - r .-N Uhe Literary Digest for October 29, 1921 Cheese, that product of the cow, is the essence of all strong personalities. To eat cheese and be cheesy is the ideal of all real men. Mind your own business, love your own girl, sleep in your own bed, and eat your own cheese, friend, and you will be everywhere welcome. Says the Toiler: Personality is a myth. We cultivate the virtues — chief of which is malcontent. A satisfied man is a dead man. Did you say it was impossible to eat your cheese and have it too? We have organized a club un- der the guise of fighting other clubs, and we enjoy the fun of a club, yet we have the name of anti-club men. We succeed in hyprocrisy where others fail. We are du- plicity hounds — the original duplicators. Were we not careful, we would dupe our- selves. Thus does the controversy rest. Use your judgment, abstain from suicide, re- main cool and solve the puzzle. The win- ner gets a free meal from the mess hall.

Unfortunately, our photographer was unable to catch the celebrity in repose and was forced to snap him hurriedly as he emerged from a well- known downtown hotel. The mos- quitoes were so bad this year that living in the residential halls was al- most impossible. Our hero began his checkered ca- reer at a very alcoholic revel in 1916, bursting into prominence from which he has consistently refused to retire. His fence-riding feat put on for the Alpha Rhos and Idlers two years ago won much favorable comment ; and his recent usurpation of Punk ' s place as charioteer is regarded as a decided exploit. Performing creditably as a yell leader, he has appointed himself the athletic oracle, and taken advan- tage of the Thresher columns to is- sue some amusing proclamations.

For the l npTt J pp,c- benefit of her aspiring sisters, she has ri ' S 1 s iU c given out the following sketch of her - methods : A i ' V •- One of my most efi ective resorts is the hair-stroking attack. A man with glossy red hair is practically helpless before it, if it is carried out in the proper manner. Of course an amateurish opening is to be avoided. One of the most popular open- ings is the ' flapper approach, ' with which most of you are familiar. Ad- vance one limb gracefully to within a foot or so of the victim, and rare back, if I may use such an expression, on the other, at the same time uttering some killing remark. The remark itself does not matter so much, provided the pose is maintained. ' hether it has effect or not, always coyly retreat before again contributing to the con- versation, and then proceed as before. The expression of the face should be very roguish. After a few applications, the male will be as putty in your hands. Some prefer, of course, the ' shuttle advance, ' as executed by some of our most successful vampires. Here the remark is delivered first. Then turn your back squarely on the victim and walk away, only to whirl suddenly, advance again, .say something else, and again turn away, all done in a very- merry-fashion. After you have done this several times, the man will regard you with a curious expres- sion, which generally means that you have gained his attention. Now hang your head, twist your feet, assume a shy smile, and approach slowly, dififidently, until near the victim. Then raise the eyes slowly, and with a rush of overpowering desire, sweep upon the male and tenderly stroke your dainty hand over his dome. This action will at once gain the attention of all bystanders, and will result in the blushing and immediate subjugation of your prey. The efiFect is even neater than the more ordinary pastime of gently biting the lobe of the left ear while encircled by the left arm. ;.,rtvv • .« .. ;.,i%vs: • . 5 ,..: ' n..- • , -i- Wi:-. j .

SQULif n — hORroRsCoPe Vanity, in line with her name, wishes to congratulate herself on the spiritual improvement, during the past year, of several of her subjects who seemed to have solved the secret of perpetual mention. James Button has practically con- quered his kleptomaniac tendencies ; Cashion has revealed symptoms of puberty if not maturity ; Springall has acquired a Ford and many, many friends. It is something to have worked for. Ever has Vanity been tormented by the question of relative prominence among candidates for her honors. On this occasion, however, the most eminent of the kickee crop so unquestionably surpasses all others that first place may be un- hesitatingly awarded to Robert M. Perry, of Dallas. Mr. Perry was in full bloom during the first semester. A prominent club man, a valuable athlete, and — though rather crude and unshaped on the sur- face — an undeniably forceful character, sir ! — he won the highest esteem not only of his many satellites, but of himself. His sole handicap was the queer nickname of Dog Face, bestowed quite freely by all who knew him. That this virile intellect should have deemed it necessary to retire from the football squad before the end of the season, and to resign from his club before pledge week, is indeed regrettable. Having mentioned satellites, allow Vanity to introduce the Chief Planet of that uncertain and flickering constellation. Slime James Randall, also of the City. Arrayed in his border hat, he follows faithfully at his master ' s heels, displaying with pride the superb muscular development of his legs, arms, and head. Jimtny is not without an admirer himself in Big Brother Elliot, self-admitted shotgun of the seminar and mainstay of the chemistry department, who cannot under- stand why the other boys do not reverence, as he, the younger scion of the Ran- dall house. M£J11 ' :. ' ; .v ' V ! ' ; : ' - ' . •■ '  • ' it; .; - • ' ; Our heart goes out to Slime Jackson, the Golden Fleece, in his campaign to win popularity at the expense of his pocket book. Never fear, Bruce, you will be welcomed as long as you come adorned with flowing beard. This year ' s freshman litter impressed us with its fearless class spirit, evi- denced particularly by that all night watch to prevent fellow slimes from paint- ing the class numerals on the boulevard. That was a touch of true intrepidity. By the way, could there be a hidden motive in the slimes ' suggesion that the next Rice building be a dance hall? Never have the dormitories boasted a more sensible hall committee than that of 1922. It was a pleasure to invite them to our games of chance, though early year scruples of Underwood had to be overcome before he could be induced to buy in. There is nothing like a hall committee to see that dicing, drinking, and pokering are conducted in orderly fashion. We feel that Sigma Beta lost a most representative member in Jane Laughlin, the original Snuggling Babe. It is imderstood that Kathryn Button has returned the W ' innsborough club pin, on account of its tendency to become unfastened and wander about the sheets. Katrina stands too much chance of getting stuck. We note with sympathy the efforts of Toby Barrett to control his avoirdupois by long hours of sweat over the bridge table. It would seem that Tobe is once more becoming the big man of Rice. The Toilers have asked Vanity to give a paragraph to Campbell, Smith, and the Eiser boys, but we feel they are due credit for overcoming their natural re- pugnance to clubs in a heroic endeavor to reform them from within. As for the clubs. Vanity has out her axe for two classes : the club men who think the clubs are important, and the non-club men who think the clubs are important. Payne and Embree mean well, but their inconsistency is obvious and their doctrine of social equality ridiculous. What the clubs need is to get rid of their snobs and work to build up the old Rice spirit, instead of club spirit. By the way, prefix Griping, and who would have a more expressive name than Payne ? Have you never heard your prof ' s lecture interrupted by a few well-chosen re- marks from Preacher Lud, the learned stude? Vanity blushes with pride at the enterprise of one of her foremost pupils. Society has claimed another of our engineers, Lehman, during the last semester. Abdul, O Sheik ! Valentino learned from you. Few Horrorscopes have had the distinction of Supple ' s name. He alone was responsible for the band ' s consistent and untiring service during the past year. Sousa, the original Joy Spreader — the cheerful loser. He is always glad to see the other dance profiteers go in the hole — how shameful to make money off your fellow students ! We are afraid that the girls are not getting their share of space. The deliciously clad damsels who stroll out to a baseball game, settle for a few moments in a .aV • ...i VV • X V.. prominent section of the bleachers, and then languidly retire without even learn- ing who ' s beating us, will never know how much we admire them. The charm- ing efforts of these beauties to hold down their own in the sallyport on a windy day are commendable, even though NEVER, NEVER successful. Likewise bobbed hair as a pleasing style meets with Vanity ' s approbation, but as a means of exciting attention it gripes her sore. What can we give those demi- wit dames who, through the last resort of a pair of scissors and abominable taste, make themselves a one-day wonder in the cloisters ? Echo answers : Nothing. We are glad to see that the personality of Samuel Shelburne, cleverly hidden all these years, has finally been recognized by that exclusive clan, the Alpha Rhos. Vanity was also pleased at the long expected debut of Ernest Robertson. When Ernest did debut, he debuted in earnest. While he is not, like Shelburne, em- ployed in the Bugs Lab, he is no doubt in some sort of position to supply his club brothers. Duggan, Most High Umpty-Ump of the Aless Hall, was not offended at being cast as a mere duke in the Famous Fight. He knows that he is, and always has been, the real king of Rice. They still talk of his munificence to his subjects — particularly that Victrola he and Miss Bessie bought for the Autry House. Vanity must really reprove Miss Beard for her designs upon innocent Elliot. Naughty, Naughty! Marjorie deserves congratulations for her year ' s catch, but Air. Yerges should be warned that he cannot devote much time to the squad if he would keep up with his accounts. Our Cap, the Blushing Violet, is to be condoned for the merciless publicity given his accession to the Y throne. We need more men here like Bowling, who declared he felt it his duty to haze the freshmen, even though he had managed to avoid it himself. Fortunately he can now announce that he has been hazed with the best. Vanity has nothing but admiration for Dormant Schellhardt, the only being she knows that can walk sitting down. She admits her inability to comment on Brogniez (even with a mustache) ; the voluble and popular Miss Dixie Dawson; Hargis the conscientous boy ; or the sweet charactered Slime Gann. But can she omit Aristotle, the little devil of the faculty and bad lady-killer ; or the convivial Oberle ; or the indomitable Swabey ? Certainly not. And is there room for little Gladys, the Girl with the Aeroplane Hand ; Frankie Maud, the Girl with the Sibilant Shape ; or Laura, the Girl with the — but desist, Vanity, desist! At any rate she regrets the dissolution of the firms of King and Heaner, So- ciety bootleggers ; Lack and Lack, representing the James Brothers ; and Penix and Capell, the Infatuation Demonstrators. To the Editor of the Junior Thresher — Sorry, but we are determined to with- hold your name from mention. Yours reluctantly, VANITY. IN APPRECIATION And now that you have read the Campa- nile for 1922, you are probably pleased or displeased. Every effort has been made to give you a representative book, quite im- partial in every respect. Expense and time have been matters of second consideration, and the editors present their efforts with- out apologies. By way of conclusion, this method is taken to express the appreciation of the Campanile staff for the special efforts and work of some non-members of the Staff who have given some of their b est efforts to the publication. j Ir. Thomas Stell, an artist of rare ability, has given us some of the best color work that has appeared in College Annuals lately. He not only exe- cuted the ]3aintings and division plates, but he drew the pen and ink matter as well ; planned the art layouts, and, in short, did the whole of the decorative work single handed. His very meritorious work will certainly earn the hearty applause and ap- preciation of the student body, which it so justly deserves. Mr. Joe Mears of the Galveston News Staff ' , a Rice alumnus, gave many of his week-ends in drawing the cartoons for the comic section. Mr. Mears is one of the most promising of young cartoonists, and his very exceptional work for the Campanile has met with much praise. Mr. Jack Glenn of the Class of ' 25 has assisted in the cartoon work. On the editorial side, the Editor is deeply indebted to both Mr. W. M. Darling and Mr. A. D. Batjer, who, during his called absence, made many sacrifices to continue the work on the publication. They both gave very valuable suggestions and material assistance to the work. Much appreciation is due to Mr. Taylor and Mr. Jacques of the Star Engraving Company, and Ir. Blanchard and Mr. Stamm and the Messrs. Rein of the Rein Printing Company, who all lent their suggestions and co-operation. The mechani- cal departments of both Star and Rein are thanked for their efforts. To all the people who so kindly gave their assistance to the work of the Campa- nile, helping to prepare it for the students, much gratitude is here expressed. Again thanking our friends, we now take our close. Tho. i. s Stell Art Editor of the ' 22 Campanili Respectfully, THE EDITORS. ...rtW • .

A Gateway to Progress There it stands — a simple forty-foot gateway but unlike any other in the entire world. Through it have come many of the engineering ideas that have made this an electrical America. The story of electrical development begins in the Research Laboratories. Here the ruling spirit is one of knowledge — truth — rather than immediate practical results. In this manner are established new theories — tools for future use — which sooner or later find ready application. The great industries that cluster around Niagara Falls, the electrically driven battle- ships, the trolley cars and electrified railways that carry millions, the lamps that glow in homes and streets, the household conven- iences that have relieved women of drudgery, the labor-saving electrical tools of factories, all owe their existence, partly at least, to the co-ordinated efforts of the thousands who daily stream through this gateway.
