D., LL. D. President of I he Rice Iristiiule cr J iee iP lfeit i fee TO RICE, NINETEEN TWENTY-SIX fi OR four years you have been studying an old map. It comes down to you from Athens and Sion through Rome. It stretches from the sky to the sea through the soul of man. It is the map of the western mind. For these same four years you have been tracing a new map. It too comes down to you by heritage and tradition, and through Rice. It too reaches from the sea to the stars through your own spirit. This new map IS the map of your own mind. The old records the race ' s acquisitions, and labels its ranges with such terms as philosophy and history, science and letters, religion and art. The new reveals the individual ' s adventures, perhaps in regions still unlabelled. Each has its vast spaces of undis ' covered country. Each has its glory either of age or of youth, each its lines bright or dark of intellectual beauty, and each is gay with all the color of emotional charm. In this place you have found no more precious possessions than these two maps. Despite their long lineage, they are of your own making in so far as you have made them your own. For the future they are indispensable to you, both for the busi- ness of life and for the leisure of life, but if for either of these high ends of living one of the other of these maps must at any time be given up, hold fast to the new. And, as for each of you this new map of your own mind unfolds, I trust that in lines sharp and distinct and in colors radiant and strong it may reveal the liberating and liberalising in- fluences of philosophy, science, and religion, may register substantial contributions on your part to the old map of the western mind in its regions both of action and of re- flection, and may record for all of us the least mortal part of the mind of Rice. -■ xud nrikte U @ r tr 7 s its igCt OFFICERS OF THE ADMINSTRATION EI) (JAR UDKLL I.OVETT Pmidait ROB K R r G R A X I L L E C A L D W E L L Dca7i SAM EEL GLENN McCANN Renslraj- JOHN THOMAS McCANTS Bursar 11 IE RICE INSTITUTE •- y.

Stockton Axson, Profes- sor of English Literature, returned this fall, after an absence. He came to Rice in 1913, the year after it opened, andduringhis years here has made himself one of the most notable fig- ures, and most beloved pro- fessors in the Rice Institute faculty, ture, gave a three months lecture A number of campus activities have course in English Literature, and one felt the loss of John Clark Tidden, in French Literature. He was here Instructor in Architectural Drawing only during the fall term, returning and Painting, who left for New York, to the LIniversity of Paris for the where he will open a studio. He has winter term. He is the author of re- especially left a void in the Dramatic markable studies on the social aspects Club, with which he has for several of English Literature, especially nov- years been connected as a director. els of the middle of the 19th century. Two new professors. Max Freund, Professor of German, and Marcel Moraud, Professor of French, have been added to the faculty list. The former has behind him a brilliant record as a Pro- fessor of German and Eng- lish language and literature in several L ' niversities of England, Ireland, and Ger- many. Louis Cazamian, one of the greatest of Continental students of English Litera- John Willis Slaughter, Lecturer in Civics and Philanthropy, left during the last term for the University of Central China, where he will lecture on Sociology and Social Work. He is not entirely lost, however, for he will return to the Institute next Fall. The return of Harold Albert Wil- son, Professor of Physics, after a year ' s absence, is fortunate for Rice. EXTENSION LECTURES The LIniversity Extension Lectures are becoming an important link be- tween the people of Houston and the Rice Institute. They afford an oppor- tunity for those people who cannot attend classes to hear, once a week, a lecture by professorsof the Institute on subjects of varied interest. nribte USr r lgr 7 3.its .a iaCt Yonr old men have dreamed this dreatn and your young men have seen this vision. The age of romance has not gone, it is only beginning; Greater words than the ear of man has heard are waiting to be spoken. Finer arts than the eyes of man have seen are sleeping to be awakened — Science exploring the scope of the world. Poetry breathing the hope of the world. Music 10 measure and lead the onward march of men! Come, ye honored and welcome guests from the elder nations. Princes of science and arts and letters. Look on the walls that embody the generous dream of one of the old men of Texas, Enter these halls of learning that rise in the land of the pioneer ' s log-cabin. Read the confessions of faith that are carved on the stones around you: Faith in the worth of the smallest fad and the laws that govern the starbeams — Faith in the beauty of truth and the truth of perfect beauty. Faith in the God who creates the souls of men by knowledge and love and worship. This is the faith of the New Democracy — Proud and humble, p-itiently pressing forw ird. Praising her heroes of old and training her future leaders. Seeking her crown in a nobler race of men and women — .Ifler the pioneers, sweetness and light! — Henrv ' :in Dvke.

Rice Campanile always observes is that of including m its pages an ac count of all of the spring activities from the preceding year. Each year, the Spring Elections, the May Fete, the Senior Socials, and the activities of Commencement have complete accounts in the Campanile of the following year. Such has been the plan in this year book, and there are contained in the next few pages the important affairs that occurred on the Rice Campus in the spring of nineteen hundred twenty-five ; the Elec tions, the May Fete, the Senior activities, and the Commencement services. SPRING ELECTIONS The Spring elections were featured by the race for the presidency of the Students ' Association. Five candi- dates were m the field. C. A. Johnson defeated Roy Webb in the run-off. Margaret Lester was elected to the vice presidency of the Associa- tion, while Sam Williams won the office of treasurer. For council-man-at-large, three candidates announced. Mary Tram- mell was elected by a good majority. In every case, the staff nominees were successful, and the result was that Jack Glenn was elected editor of The Campanile; Helen Clarke, associate editor; Lovett Abercrom- bie, business manager. Theodore Stubbs as editor, Don- ald Barthleme as managing editor, and Ben Bellows as business man- ager were chosen to comprise the staff of The Thresher. Jack Glenn was re-elected yell leader. CAMPAIGNING C. A. JOHNSON WU s. t • T isr : Pf(r wxt cT ' - Aiee ' t ib i ivQ.tee THE MAY FETE Spring, IQ25, marked the return to the established custom of having male attendants in the May Court. On the banks of the bayou, sur- rounded by dukes and duchesses. Her Majesty, Allie May Autry, was crowned Queen of the May. The retinue that awaited Her Highness as she entered the flower arbor at the entrance to the court was most impressive with its back- ground ot moss and trees and its ap- pearance ot regal pomp. The Court had entered singly and in pairs at the summons ot the herald, Mr. Travis Calvin . His Majesty, the King, Mr. Jack Glenn, entered alone and ascended the throne to greet his retinue. The Duke and Duchess of the House of Freshmen, Mr. George Murray and Miss Jane Dickson, followed His Highness, the King. These two were followed by the Freshmen Maids ot Honor. The herald proclaimed next the Duke and Duchess of the House of Sophomore, Mr. William McVey and Miss Celeste Jones. Maids of Honor attended these two. There followed then m order the Duke and Duchesss of the House of HFlkte tQ ' 2 i iE p itW Junior, Mr. Emmette Goodrich and Miss Marjorie Ilfrey, who in turn were followed by Maids, the Duke and Duchess of the House of Senior, Mr. Clarence A. Johnson and Mrs. Myrtle Anderson. The Maids ot Honor of the House ot Senior followedtheDuke and Duchess. Their Royal Highnesses, the Princess Myrtle of the House ot Perkins and the Princess Jessie of the House of Stevens were intrc duced to the court just before the herald proclaimed the entrance of Her Royal Highness, the Queen, AUie May Autry. As the Queen approached her Throne, the Court stood at atten- tion; the visitors were hushed. She was crowned then Queen of the May. Spring had arrived indeed. Among the Maids of Honor were Misses Mary Semmes Binyon, Esma Jones, Mary Freeman, Mercedes Romero, Margaret Lester, Margaret Boyd, Alice Michaux, Haijel Tanner, Etheldra Fraley, Eleanor Miller, Audrey Black, Mary Louise Britton, Ellen Ross, Nancy Tucker, Cather- ine Fondren, and Matilda Hood. Miss Beatrice Harrison served tor the second time as Court Jester. The Court was entertained by dancers who interpreted raindrops, rainbows, and such things symbolic ot spring. The annual May pole dance followed, and the May Fete of nineteen hundred and twenty- five was over. IHE I ' RINCESSrS g- .Mriee ' t7 4? ) t 3 fee CLASS OF 25 TRiNG activities of the class of twen- ty-five were brought to a charming close by the festivities ot the Seniors. Each affair was unique in itself and was truly a fitting close tor the four years of college work. Senior Arnencan The first of the socials, the Senior American, was held on the Rice Roof on the morning of June sixth. Breakfast began at eight-thirty, and each couple was served immediately on arrival. Fatty Martin ' s orchestra played tor the dancing which lasted until twelve-thirty. Punch was served to the dancers, and a strong breeze made the function a cool aifair. Senior Banquet On the night ot June si.xth, the Seniors held their last meeting over the banquet table at the Brazos Court. I. Marion Wiltord introduced Dr. Lovett who spoke on Rice, past and present. He appealed to the class to do its duty as alumni to push on the work of Rice. The guests sat at small tables a- round the alcoves, and the speakers occupied a large table in the middle ot the court. Final Ball At nine-thirty on the night of June eighth, Mr. Marion Wilford and Miss Margaret Lester led the grand march that opened the Final Ball of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-five. The Rice ball room was decorated for the occasion with blue and gray streamers that hung trom the ceiling. Retreshments were served buffet fashion, and the gay crowd danced until three. The class of twenty-five was no longer a part of Rice. MARGARET LESTER HTfete u r igra t its aviaVH: HOOVER ' S VISIT On Monday, May eleventh, Mr. Herbert Hoover addressed the stu- dent body ot Rice from the steps outside the Physics Amphitheater. Dr. Lovett, who introduced Mr. Hoover, told of his college career at Leland Stanford and of the fact that he had been made a member of the governing body of that school. In his address, Mr. Hoover stated that Rice was fortunate m being so young: traditions would not inter- fere with the changes necessary to progress. The spirit of such a place, Mr. Hoover told the students, en- courages accomplishments. HADAMARD Professor Jacques Hadamard of the University of Paris delivered in the spring of nineteen twenty-five a series of lectures on mathematics. Once before, in nineteen twenty. Professor Hadamard visited Rice. Since that time, he has won new honors in the field of mathematics and his position as the most distin- guished French mathematician is un- challenged. All of the Professor ' s lectures de- livered at Rice have been included in the Pamphlet. R AND QUILL At the close of the school year, the R and Quill Association held their annual banquet in the Brazos Hotel Taproom. Mr. James P. Markham was elect- ed president of the association, Miss Katherine Wood, vice president, and Mr. Wesley Herbert Hitson, secre- tary and treasurer. On the back of the rather unique programs was a prospective sketch of the proposed nine story building for the R and Quill activities. The dinner was excellent and the Rice Quartet made a success of the program with their collegiate songs. cr-- ice ' Uli: tb )i t 3 tge COMMENCEMENT 1 92 5 There were strange thoughts m the minds of the great cap-and- gowned procession that paraded down the endless walk that led to the seats of those honored ones who were to receive the bachelor ' s de ' gree of the Rice Institute. The re- spected men of letters that led the long line must have enjoyed the occasion, too, on which they were giving to the world the products of their long hours of labor. Each face bore a different expres ' sion; there was the face of one who realized why Commencement was held; another who looked forward to further professional training, but on the face of each was the print of culture and of confidence. These graduates were leaving Rice ; they were leaving the home that they had known for four years; they were leaving with the thought that they had left something to Rice. g e t r ' lgr its) a igCt L Baccalaureate Sermon On Sunday morning, June the sev- enth. Bishop Sam R. Hay, ot the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, addressed the graduates in the quad- rangle ot the Administra- tion Building. With the Commencement archbehind him and the rows ot atten- tive Seniors before him, the scene would have been con- ducive to the best possible - ' « ' •£;„ ;;;, ' gems of oratory. So it was _ _ in this case, and the Bacca- ' ' laureate sermon of nineteen hundred and twenty-five will be a key to the door of Commencement memories of the class of ' twenty-five. Conferring of Degrees The Academic Procession again appeared in regalia Monday, June eighth, headed by Dr. Lovett, Dr. Axson, and Trustees of the Institute. Dr. Stockton Axson, Professor of English Literature at the Rice In- stitute, delivered the Commence- ment Address. His advice was of unlimited value, and his J words of encouragement were thrice welcome. The whole of Dr. Axson ' s ad- dress was a masterpiece that made the graduates feel that could they leave no one else to carry on the work of in- struction, this one man -.J would be enough to merit , . the attendance of a great student body. One hundred and seven candidates received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, while twenty-three were grant- ed the degree of Bachelor of Science. Garden Party On Monday afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. Lovett entertained with a gar- den party which closed the activi- ties of the class of ' twentv-five. cr Mrice ' ' t7 fc )i i ) e THE SCHOOL YEAR 1925 26 N THE fall of nineteen hundred twenty-five, after a three months ' vacation, throngs returned to Rice to resume their studies and to carry on the student life for which Rice is growing famous. Football season called forth pep meetings, parades; Sammy appeared; the Alumni came home; Rice Nite and the Study Rally were held; the Engineering Show opened its doors, and visitors came. These are the events that served as landmarks for the year around which the incidents of Campus life can be grouped. In the following pages these happenings are told of and are pictured in order. Every phase of school life has been touched upon, and the result is an accurate record of the activities of the year, nineteen twenty-five — twenty-six, at Rice. THE ALUMNI REUNION The seventh annual commemora- tive reunion of the association of Rice Alumni began its meeting Thanksgiving morning, November twenty-sixth, nineteen twenty-five, at ten o ' clock, with a business meet- ing in the Physics Amphitheater. Clarence Wademan, ' 21, of Hous- ton, was elected president of the association ; Miss Lolo Kennerly , ' 21, of Houston, vice president; Ervm Kalb, ' 16, of Houston, secretary and treasurer; and Mrs. Mary Clark Weir Jarvis, ' 21, Miss Sarah Lane, ' 19, and J. Tom Rather, ' 19, were elected for the executive board. All of the association members attended the game m the afternoon and their own reception at the Au- try House that night. The Dramatic Club fall plays were a feature of their entertainment. CLARENCE WADEMAN DR. GAYLORD JOHXSON nribte t r lgr : 1t avigCt II iiTiirii II III l|[ li THE ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET On the night of November twen- ty-eighth, the annual tootball ban- quet was held in the ballroom ot the Rice Hotel. Mr. A. M. Tomtohrde served as toastmaster, and D. C. Jarvis, E. Hjertberg, Captain Underwood, F. J. Bedenk, ]. W. Heisman, and the captain-elect were scheduled to make toasts. Fourteen letters were awarded to the squad, and Wash Underwood was re-elected captain to serve in ' twenty-six. COLLEGE INN BANQUET On Wednesday night, December second, the footballsquadandcoaches gathered at Ye Olde College Inn for a banquet given them by George Martin, proprietor of the Inn. Informal talks were made by Heis- man, Hjertberg, Martin, and C. E. Greene, after which, by vote of the entire squad, Heavy Underwood was awarded a trophy for being the most valuable man on the team. (DING OF THE COLLEGE INN IRor ' HV (T - J iei C JA i tge SAMMY The night before the A. and M. game, November thirteenth, marked the return of an old figure to Rice : Sammy was back again after eight years. In body, he was not the Sammy that the Owl Protective Associa- tion back in 1917 had rescued from the Aggie cadets, after the latter had kidnapped him; but he was the same in spirit, reincarnated under the direction of the Rally Club by John Clark Tidden and a group of architects. That night in the commons, Sam- my was put in the spotlight, the band played For Rice ' s Honor, ' ' and the greatest rally in the short history of Rice ended just before the great parade began. The next day the Aggies invaded Rice, and Sammy made a majestic debut upon the field, while all Rice stood, uncovered, and cheered his return. Two veterans — T. P. Jackson and J. S. Waters, a former O. P. A. — were at Rice this year to witness the return of Sammy. Ig ' t : SAMMY AND THE O.P.A. ' S. 1917 TTUe t ' r t r 7 1ts avigCt RICE XITE STUDY RALLY RICE NITE The Rally Club staged in the Physics Amphitheater, April tweri ' ty-third, the first annual Study Rally. There was an effort to impress upon the athletes the critical condi- tion ot Rice athletics. Mr. Heisman addressed the gath- ering and, after his talk, the Baptist Students ' LJnion presented, to be placed in the Trophy case, a trophy on which can be engraved the rec- ords of each team of tour sports for the next ten vears. Another creditable thing ot which the Rally Club can boast is that of beginning what probably will be a tradition-- the annual ot Rice Nite. The initial performance was put on May fifth at the City Auditc num. Lee ' s Owls, the Glee Club, and the Dramatic Club contributed to the program. The Owl Band closed the regular program, and dancing began at eleven o ' clock. Proceeds were in the hands ot the Alumni Association. g ' JKriee Ut i tii ivj fee ' FOURTH BIENNIAL ENGINEERING SHOW At two o ' clock on the afternoon of April twenty- third the doors were opened on the fourth biennial En- gineering Show. In the cloisters of the Physics Build- ing each vistior was introduced to a ra- dio controlled car that made its way up and down the long walk. Entrance to the whole show was gained through the biology depart- ment, where the mysteries of disease, the wonders of the microscopic world, and the evo- lutionary and sensational nature of life were explained. This is the first time that the biol- ogy department has been included m the plans for the biennial show. The Physics exhibits and the Civil Engineering displays were included m the Physics building. In the Mechani- cal building were the representative outlays of the Me- chanical Engineer- ing Department and of the Electri- cal Department. ■ In the Chemistry building were ar- ranged the exhibits of the Chemical Engineers, the Ar- chitects and the Bi- ological Chemists. Facultymembers served as heads of the departments: Biology, Mr. Edgar Altenberg; Phy- sics, Mr. H. A. Wilson; Civil Engi- neering, Mr. L. B. Ryon, Jr.; Elec- trical Engineering, Mr. H. K.

Much is heard of reversion to type, but modern dancing is scarcely this — it is a con- tinuation, with light, color, and motion, ot the response that man has always made, in one fashion or another, to rhythmic sounds. Let It never be said that the students of Rice would depart from the way they should go. Sponsored by millions of generations, dancing has become their most popular collegiate pastime, and who can say that the background of flaming campfires and yelling savages — sullen tom-tom and stealthy houris- -brazen gong and swaying geishas — stately harpsichord and courtly dancers of the minuet —does not add dignity to, and a blessing on the heads of saxophonists and exponents of the modern dance? SATURDAY NIGHT DANCES With one of the finest college or- chestras in the South furnishing the music. The Saturday night dances have been a popular amusement. Crowds of beauteous damsels and irresistible lady-killers have taxed the capacity of Autry House and the commons. Lee ' s Owls have played tor all ot these affairs. The orchestra, composed of Lee Chatham, leader and trombonist ex- traordinary; Jack Gray, piano; Joe Jarrett, trumpet; Tooker Abrahams and Wallace Franklin, clarinet and saxophone; Waldo Boyles, saxo- phone; Sam Bennett, bass horn; and J. L Campbell, traps, has had a phe- nomenal development. Not organized until September, in six months they had a harmonious unison which rivalled any other or- chestra Houston could boast. They have had many attractive offers. They plan to tour Europe in the summer of 1926, paying, like old- world minstrels, by playing. g Jj iei ' U1l: )b t t fee ENGINEERING SOCIETY DANCE The night of November tenth was shared the responsibiHty for the mu- marked by the annual Engineer ' s Ball held at the new University Club . Blanchard ' s and the Virginian ' s sic. Mr. Malcolm Harless, president, with Miss OquiUa Smith, led the grand march. RALLY CLUB DANCE There have been many complaints that the non-athletic students had no part in the feverish activity of the football season. In answer to these, the Rally Club was organized, hav- ing as its purpose the crystaUization of the spirit of the school, in a body of men who have ideals, coupled with the energy and personality to defend and establish them. The Rally Club, this new organ- ization at Rice, estabhshed a tradi- tion by celebrating the close of the football season with a dance on Thanksgiving night. From nine to three, Lee and his TFKe t ' Sr r iSr m-ig -ej ietit good men played in one ot the cleverest settings m a season of many notably decor- ated dances. The foot- ball field had been bodily transported to the Turnverein. The wound with blue and gray streamers. The Field House itself loomed behind the or- chestra, and from the balcony a large owl spread his wmgs over the room. It is planned floor was lined off with yardage to make the Rally Club Thanksgiv- markers, and the grandstands ' ' were mg dance an annual affair. GALVESTON CLUB DANCE The Galveston Club dance was heldon the night of De- cember twenty-sixth, from nine to three, in the ballroom of the Galvez Hotel. Over- head, a swarm of blue and gray balloons formed a great R. Each dance was dedicated to a football team; eight to conference teams, and one to the Ball High team. During the midnight inter- mission a tribute was paid to the Ball High football letter men, and each was called by name. Sam Williams, presi- dent, spoke on behalf of Rice, urging the high school men ' s allegiance to her. TEXARKANA CLUB DANCE Football blankets, pennants, ser- pentine, and confetti made the ball- room of the Grim Hotel, of Texar- kana, gay for the annual dance of the Texarkana Club. The first four dances were each in honor of one of the four college classes; the last three: For Rice ' s Honor, The Sallyport Breeze, and The Mess Hall Scramble. nv • Wmi W a| iPS-rr 5 rS P .; ■ 5 - fj - B M v « A all ' r K -d i V 1 mtTmi M M Hl 1:fW ' W 111 i ' fll It W ' ff Lit:: ' ' IP ' ' M g% JK ei ' iil7 4?i) iu ge SCULLIONS BALL The 1926 Hobo gathering was held on the railroad siding. Along one side stood rows of box-cars, and entrance was perilously gained down a ladder on the side of one of these. On the other side were more or less — mostly less — open fields. The Sen- lor dining room was a bewildering mixture of barn-yard, livery stable, photographer ' s shop, pseudo art-gal- lery and penny arcade. Sam Wil- liams was president of the Scullions. W tz U 9 ' r lgr 7 .its .avtgct ARCH I ' ARTS BALL The Architectural Society ' s ball, held in the Field House on the night of February twenty- second, was an affair ot ' more ' than-Oriental ' splendor ' The Arabian Night ' s Entertainment, ARRANTs j j jj-g endless possibili- ties of design and costume, was the inspiration for the ball. Beautiful houris — ot doubtful au- thenticity, but none the less beauti- ful — danced democratically and im- partially with camel drivers, genii, slaves, and Pashas. Harems were de- cidedly au fait and were evident. At twelve o ' clock, Mr. Edward Arrants, president of the Architec- tural Society, with Miss Matilda Hood, led the grand march, which g Mriee ' jir ibiA t i fee - was made spectacular by the bril- liant robes and turbans of the guests. Mr. Arrants was general chair- man; Claude E. Hooten, chairman of decorations; J. I. Campbell, finance; C. A. Johnson, refreshments; Oliver C.

The dance was given at River Oaks Country Club. The long ball room represented a Spanish patio. Low vine ' covered stucco walls almost encircled the room, and on the wall at the far end, above graceful palm trees, hung one of the most artistic decorations seen at any dance ot the year — an enormous Spanish shawl — black, with irndescent flowers and long. swaying fringe. In the light ot hidden f lares, the flowers were of startling beauty — the great room needed no ' ' further adornment. Mr. John Sutton, president, and Miss Etheldra Fraley, vice president of the Junior class, led the grand march. Lee ' s Owls and the famous Vir- ginians furnished music for the dance. At midnight, supper was served, and at a little past three, the last cars rolled away, with the numbers — ' ' 27 ' — still winking cheerfully. g ' llt ' ic I ' tti. lb tl lj fee The president of the Junior class was Mr. John Sutton; vice presi- dent, Miss Etheldra Fraley; secre- tary, Mr. Robert Abies; treasurer, Mr. Benjamin Bellows. The committees for the dance were as follows: General chairman, Mr. Walter Fondren; decorations, Mr. Jesse Madden; finance, Mr. Benjamin Bel- lows ; music, Mr. Ewell Strong, chair- man; sub-committee. Miss Marga- ret Thompson, Mr. Harvin Moore. Refreshments: Miss Pearl Hooker, chairman; sub-committee. Miss Eth- eldra Fraley, Mr. Shirley Helm. Pro- grams, Mr. Frank Gordon, chairman; sub-committee. Miss Anna Helen Koch. Patrons were: Mrs. James L. Au- try; Mr. and Mrs. I. Lee Campbell; Mr. and Mrs. James Chillman; Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fitch; Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Fondren; Mr. and Mrs. Stuart A. Giraud; and Dr. and Mrs. Gaylord Johnson TUr t - r lgr 7 its  aviait SOPHOMORE BALL The nineteen twenty-six Sopho- more Ball was held under rather pe- culiar conditions. Heretofore, the Freshmen have fled on the eve ot their own social ice- breaker with second year men pursuing them. But, since the usual Freshmen Ball had been prohibited be- cause of the loss ot sleep and study time that it nec- essitated, the situation was reversed. Mr. Jack Ogg, president, and Miss Matilda Hood, vice president, were scheduled to lead the grand march — but they were kidnapped uncer- emoniously. The Class of 28 were in a terrible plight; a Freshman was surely not to lead the grand march! As a result of strategic manuevers. Miss Hood was rescued, a crowd Freshmen -|H f I w were entombed in the bastile-like basement of the City Auditorium, but Mr. Ogg was not to be found. The outcome was a titty-titty compromise or victory for each class. Miss Hood led the grand march, but Mr. Gor- don Turrentme was forced to substitute tor the absent Ogg, who did make a slight- ly inglorious appearance la- ter in the evening. The dance was a success. It was the first official Rice dance to be held at the Warwick Hotel, and the Soph- omores say that it will not be the last. There were no extra decora- tions; those of the ballroom were considered suthcient. Unique pro- grams and Harold Oxley ' s orchestra music helped to make everybody happy. SECOND ANNUAL BAND DANCE The Band Dance was held in the Field House on the twenty-seventh of April, nineteen hundred and twen- ty-six. From ten-thirty to twelve, especially, one ot the largest crowds that ever attended a Rice Saturday Night Dance filled the gymnasium. Lee ' s Owls were in excellent con- dition, and they were never more ' ' right. The crowd was in a festive mood, and the whole thing was de- cidedly a good party. Band men checked hats, took tickets, and did the work ot putting the dance over. g- JKriee CW- ibtA iya fee RECEPTIONS The Y.M., Y.W.C.A. reception, was held in the cloisters immediately after the opening of sc hool in September, and served to welcome new students to Rice. The afternoon of October ninth was the occasion for a reception held by the Eliza- beth Baldwin, the Pallas Athene, and the Owen Wister Lit- erary Societies. The receiving line at the door was composed of the officers of the three clubs, who welcomed Freshmen girls and all prospective pledges. Along the north side of the long room a refectory table was set. Mrs. Eugene Blake and Mrs. Sara Stratford poured tea and coffee for about two hundred and fifty guests. The home of Miss Janet Allen was the scene of a charming tea given by the O.W.L.S. in honor of the P.A.L.S. and E.B.L.S. on the after- noon of Novem.ber twenty-second. Mrs. A. D. McKiUop and Mrs. A. K. Newbury poured tea for the guests. P.A.L.S. DANCE FOR PLEDGES The Pallas Athene Literary So- ciety entertained in honor of their fourteen pledges on the afternoon of November fourth with an informal tea dance at the Autry House. The affair lasted from four-thirty to six- thirty. Punch was served throughout the afternoon, and, at five, tea, sand- wiches, and cake were announced. E.B.L.S. CARD PARTY On the afternoon of November tenth, the Elizabeth Baldwin Liter- ary Society held their annual card party in the large ballroom of the Rice Hotel. From the stage, Lee ' s Owls play- ed, and pledges of the E.B.L.S. sold candy among the hundred odd tables. Tea and wafers were served dur- ing the afternoon. nrfetje_u (8r cai!:?taits .evigcte CRAMNER CLUB VALENTINE DANCE The annual Valentine Dance ot the Cramner Club was held this year on February fifteenth as a sup- per dance, from five to seven. The Autry House was decorated with hearts which hung from scar- let streamers. A Hfe-sise Queen of Hearts was the center of a huge val- entine that lined the wall behind the orchestra. Lee ' s Owls played. E.B.L.S. TEA FOR SENIORS On theafternoon of April fifteenth, from five to seven, the Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society received their friends at the home of Mrs. W. W. Fondren in honor of their Senior members. Attractive boudoir pillows in the club colors, purple and white, were presented to each of the honorees, while Miss Martha Scott, the retir- ing president, received a loving cup. More than a hundred guests called. P.A.L.S. COUNTRY DANCE On the night of Tuesday, April twentieth, about four hundred hicks ' gathered in the Commons for the Pals Country Dance. Miss Anita Stewart and Mr. Har- ry Duckett received prizes for their costumes, and Mr. Hendnx Davis won the raffled cake. HFlbte t 1 (gr T s its xiiit JOHN CLARK TIDDEN Tidden, actor, artist, and student ' s friend, left Rice m December, 1925. It was Rice who lost — more es ' pecially, the students. Who can say how much they lost! The Dramatic Club, the Owl, the Campanile, the Architectural Society - -m short, the student body, individually and as a whole, felt keenly f Mr. Tidden ' s de- parture. Ever ready to help, always friend- ly, clear and strong in his own ideals, Mr. Tidden step- ped into student hearts as professors seldom do. Distinguished for his student proficiency at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Tidden came to Rice m 1914 as instructor in architectural drawing and painting and immediately took a prominent place m the life of the school as well as in the art circles of Houston and South Texas. In 1921 he direct- ed the establish- ment of the Rice Dramatic Club and was its guiding light up until the time of his depar- ture. It is this or- ganization that will feel most keen- ly the loss of John Clark Tidden. cr MXce ' UiSi lbitl i fce ' THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Rice Dramatic Club, since its organization tour years ago, has made for itself a place at Rice and in Little Theatre circles in Houston. It is made up of the people at Rice who are interested in dramat- ics and whose interest leads them to try out for entrance into the club. In these tryouts, which the club holds at the beginning of each term, they are judged solely upon their dramatic talent, and are taken m for a year on probation. At the end of each year, permanent members are elected on the merit they have shown . In the year 1925-26 J. B. Earth- man managed the club during the fall bill, and on his resignation Fred Shelton was elected manager. Adele Roensch held the only other office of the club, that of secretary- treasurer, and John Clark Tidden served as faculty advisor. Although the club has no regular meetings, called meetings are held for the election of officers and of new members, and before and after the one bill of each term. ARROWOOD 60VE DIRECTORS Hflbte t r lgr : i 5) avigtit ■THE DEACO The fall term productions of the Dramatic Club were presented be- fore one of the largest and most responsive audiences ever present at any of the at ' tempts of the club at Autry House. The bill included three one-act plays. In The Girl, by Edward Pepple, the excellent NU ROBERTS f Q J, rich made much of the small part of Kreps, the butler. The action of the play centered around the girl ' and with tew exceptions moved easily through the smooth dialogue of Donald McRoberts and Henry THE FALL AND SPRING BILLS Easterling. The Gir! was carefully worked out and was well received. Philip Gove,AdeleRoensch directed. Gilbert Cannan ' s Evsrsi- 0 hody s Husband directed by Mrs. C. F. Arrowood, offered good op portunity for the in- terpretation ot contrast- ing parts by Louise Lam- easterling berson, Beatrice Harrison, and Flor- ence Brown. The contrast was em- phasized by effective costuming. The action of the play as a whole was not smooth, but the unfavorable re- ception given It on its first presenta- ■EVERVBODY ' S HT cT ' J iei ' t - fei) ' a3 fee GOODRICH tion was in a large part due to bad lighting and poor stage setting. Hazel Cannan did the leading role of the modern daughter. The dreamy quality ot her voice contributed much to the atmosphere of the play. This was intensified by an in- teresting bit of work by Theodore Stubbs as Domino. SHELTON- Florence Brown, who appeared with the club for the first time, was especially noteworthy. The Deacon s Hat, by Jeannette Marks, an hilarious comedy, was given probably the best reception of the three plays. It was later pre- sented before the convention of the Southern Art League at Houston. The excellent inter- pretation ot the Dea- con by Fred Shelton and of Neli by Helen Clarke were the out- standing features of the play. Chauncey Stewart, as the impractical Hughie, gave a delicate de- lineation of a hard part. Joe Gallegley directed the play. The bill was given December 2 and 3. Wh. e t WZW 1 va ttw THE MARRIAGE GOWN The Spring production, was given at Autry House on April 22 and 23. The customary bill of three one- act plays included two comedies and a tragedy. In Such a Charming Toung Man, by Zoe Atkins, lead- ing roles were taken by Frank Good- rich, Marjone Lockman, and Ger- trude Kellog. The rest of the cast included Mary Margaret Brown, J. B. Earthman, Bert Hitson, Donald McRoberts, Edwm Wolf, and Molly Tidden. The play was directed by Agnes Tidden. The tragedy, Judith K. Sol len- berger ' s The Marriage Gown, direct- ed by Philip Gove and Patterson Lillard, was fortunate in a well cho- sen cast made up of Florence Brown, Martha Scott, Fred Shelton, and Beatrice Harrison. Mrs. M. Gordon Jones tor the first time directed a Dramatic Club production when she had under her direction Maxine Jeanes, Chauncey Stewart, and Celeste Jones in Sup- pressed Desires, by George C. Cook and Susan Glaspell. SIIM ' RES.SED DE.SIRE.S c? - J ee C lJ JA i fee L..J¥ ' THE WHITEHEADED BOY The Y.W.C.A. play, The White- headed Boy, was deserving of the praise it received m the downtown papers and in the Thresher, where it ■was termed ' ' undoubtedly the most successful production ever under- taken by the Rice Y.W.C.A., both in point of attendance and quality ot the performance. The play, a three-act comedy by Lennox Robinson, was well staged, carefully directed by Mrs. C. F. Arrowood, and sympathetically in- terpreted by the cast. The care with which the play was worked out is especially to be appreciated in view ot its structural basis of delicate character delineation, familiar, un- strained situations, and emotional subtleties. Jack Glenn was well cast in the title role, and Helen Clarke, as the mother of the whiteheaded boy, carried a heavy lead with her usual success. Bill Grace was good in the part ot an irate father. The work of Chauncey Stewart and of Beatrice Harrison was outstanding. Others in the cast were Sarah Waller, Flor- ence Brown, Donald McRoberts, Dorothy Seaman, Betty Moody, and Bsrnice Garrett. nrtbte tS ' 2r lgr m.its «e iait |ili.«h the ' WHITEHEADED BOY THE SPANISH PLAY The Spanish play, Rosina Es Fra- The scenes between Nancy Bridges gi!, by G. Martinez Sierra, was given by students of advanced Spanish un- der the direction of George Portnot. It was presented at Autry House late in the Spring Term, and ' ' went over very well tor a language play. The nature ot the play afforded many occasions for clever characterizations and humorous situa- tions, and its possi- bilities were, on the whole, well devel- oped by the cast. and Allan Dunning, as the fragile Rosina and her lover, and the en- counter of Rosina with her jealous rival, played by Margaret Wood ' ward, were particu- larly good. The work of the entire cast, both in pronunciation and interpretation, was very creditable. The rest of the cast included Enri ' que Longoria, Inga Shuppan, DeWitt Grossman, and Mil- ton Eckart. 0v$ani5aHon$ nrikte t r l8r :mits aviait Council C MICHAUX Clarence Alfred Johnson Prcsidoit Margaret Lester rhe Prcsidnit Mary Trammell Scartarx Sam J.

The purpose of the Hall Com- mittee is not to pry and prod, but to act as a disciplinary body m cases of necessity. These cases are few and far between, for the men at Rice are capable of conducting themselves in a manner befitting gentlemen. nribte t ' 2r lgr 7 1t5 .avigit M. f _ put € A -Mi ' !  y NORTHRUP C A B 1 X K r MiRA Donna Ma ' ' Pirsit rnl Beatrice Harrison rici ' Prcsidoil Marie Logan Secniarx Ethel McConnell Ti-easurer Helen Clarke Undtrgradiiate Representative COMMITTEES Irene Ward Program Rachel Waples Publicity Dorothy Ethel Seaman Social Mary Northrlp World Fellowship Mary Jo Inkley Music Mary Louise Ford Social Service Frances May Smith Poster The Young Women ' s Christian tute.

Suc- cess has greeted the club ' s first year of activity in striving to accomplish this purpose and in helping to mould Rice school spirit. Indications are that the value of the Rally Club will be greatly enhanced as time goes on. Among the most obvious activities of the organization during its initial year of existence have been the first annual Football Dance, honoring the team, the first ' ' Study Rally and the first annual Rice Nite. Each of these affairs are to be staged every year. In addition the Rally Club had charge of demonstrations at football games during the ' 25 season and was instrumental in inspiring ath- letes to apply themselves to their studies. Many plans for the future were laid during the past year, and the establishment of several scholar- ships was being planned as the year drew to a close. Membership in the Rally Club consists of fifty repre- sentative male students chosen by careful selection. 5- ' ' Jj iee ' ifrw i iA -Q feig t ll Cltt r- V r- .t ' ' P- ' i Pw .ATtK nns et ' 2.1 (gr : g its avigtit MASTERSON 1 HENDERSON 1- ' V I C K R S Harris Mastersox, Jr Hoiioniry Sciniary Bert Hitsox P-residetil Virgil O.

' ' !fpS:-i AMP AWIL E: I © s e To create a year book that would be truly representative ot Rice- her beauty and her splendor as well as her student life was the desire of the edi- tors in building The i .j2( ' Campamle In striving to gratify this desire they did not go to outside sources tor inspira- tion; they had no cause to do so. Rice, beautiful, mag- nificent, affords through her very personality a lasting field ot inspiration tor her year books. Enormous in possibilities for deco- rative beauty, the Moorish side of the architecture was chosen and the book was created in a Spanish vein. No period restrictions were laid down in working out the motif, ideas being drawn from both ancient and modern Spanish. The result was a varied and interesting se- lection ot warm and rich color. Several new sections were created this year, among them the twenty- six page ' ' Sallyport sec- tion depicting the lite ot the college year in pictures. The i()2( Campamle is the most expensive year book that has been produced at Rice. This is due to the increase in art work, photography, engraving and printing.

HEISMAN During his last two years at the latter place, he was president of the American Football Coaches Asso- ciation. His stay at Rice has been marked with signal success, probably not so much in games won or lost, but in arousing a spirit and morale among the athletes and student body to- gether, which after all is really the more important and lasting. Prob- ably no coach has ever been faced with such difficul- ties and problems ashasCoach Heisman, and his cheery optimism and doctrine of ' ' everlasting fight have won him a deep and a- biding place in the hearts of the Stu- dent body. His high principles and personality have inspired all. c J Ji e j ii uA t i i?! TOE BEDENK Coach Fred Joe Bedenk comes from Elmira, New York; he received his B.A. from Penn State University.

STUDENT TUTORS ReaHzmg the very grave serious- ness of a situation in which, year after year, a great percentage of Rice ' s best and most promising athletes were either being dropped from the Institute, or were being made ineli- gible for par- ticipation in athletics, be- cause of low scholastic standing. Coach Heis- man this year made a care- ful and thor- ough organi- zation of a system of Student Tu- tors. The work was put in charge of J. S. Waters, and J. S.

Hkivman As in 1924, our football team broke ex- actly even on the ' 25 season. To the coach- es this wasmore than satisiac- HF.i MAN tory, because the calibre ot the material was de- cidedly below that ot the season before, and there was even less of it. Atter a deal of desperate work on the part of both coaches and play- ers, the team managed to win the first two games, against Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston; but it was plainly apparent in these contests that the team lacked about every thing -even tight, tor it was, in the main, composed of light, green chaps who had never engaged in sports enough to learn how to tight. In con- sequence, the third game, with the unusually powerful and well-coached veteranTrinityTeam,had to be chalk- ed up as a loss. Worst ot all, the team showed little improvement. The tourth game was our first Conference setto, with the University of Ar- kansas. At the end of the first halt, the score stood 9-0 against us, and still the tellows had not shown one particle of real knockdown and dragout tight. But dur- ing the intermission, somehow they came to life, and when they stepped back out upon the field, it was as a bunch ot wildcats, not kittens. That game finally wound up with a score ot 13-9 in Rice ' s tavor. The next game was with Texas, in Austin. At the end of the first halt the score was 6-6, hut it was the most insufferably hot day in the his- tory ot Texas football, and Rice had no more fresh men to throw in and take the place ot her exhausted he- roes; while Texas had ' ' a plenty — so Texas won. And that ' s all there was to that. Then we defeated Southwestern; they won the championship of their League. Mechanically, Rice played an almost faultless game. Score 19-0. Rice lost to Louisiana State at Baton Rouge, through the medium of a marvellous 50 yard pass com- pleted in a driving rainstorm. Play- ing honors even, but score 6-0 a- gainst us. A. M. ' s champion team de- feated us. But the score was only 3-0 against us at end of first half. As long as our first line-up could last physically, we could play them all to a standstill, just like the year before; but when we had to substitute, then we were bound to lose. Baylor game a tie, 6-6. All who saw the game said Rice outplayed them 2 to I. It was a marvelous exhibition a- against a team that had won the championship the year before.

CAPTAIN ' HEAVY UNDERWOOD Probably no captain of a Varsity team has ever been up against such odds, and such dif ' faculties, as was Under- wood, the past 1925 football season. It would have been vastly differ- ent had he been older, or at least had had more varsity experience; but he wasn ' t, and he hadn ' t. And to top this, he was faced with the prospect of captaining a compar- atively weak and inex perienced team. But he came through — with an earnestness and dogged ' ness surprising in one of his age and overcame the handicap of his youth. His brilliant playing made him one of the out- standingfiguresof south- western football, and easily gained him an All- Conference berth. ngThue t g TW (E : n aviait Wash Heavy Underwood Honey Grove, Texas Joseph G. Hevck Houston, Texas Stephen F. Austin — Rice opened her 1925 season on Rice Field September 26th, by soundly defeating Stephen F. Aus- tin, 33 ' 0. Due to intensive and thorough pre ' season training, the Owls were in splendid condition: in short, this IS what was responsible for the large score. The playing of the green back- field was a source of much gratifica- tion and hope to the Rice supporters, their steady, consistent work far sur- passing that of the more seasoned line, whose playing lacked cohesion and effectiveness. Sdtn Houston J ortnal Sam Houston Normal lost 6-0, to Heisman-strategy and nothing else, in a bitterly fought game on Rice Field, October 3rd. They brought to Houston one of the best and most determined teams they had devel- oped in years. The Owls resorted almost wholly to straight offensive football, though It was a clever pass from Hertmg to Smiley, in the last quarter, that gave them a chance to make the only score of the game. It was again a case of steady play by Herting, Smiley, Murray, Ogg, and Capt. Underwood. cr ' J iee ' C feifeiU tge E. W. Herting, Jr Hartford, Conn. Oliver C. Winston Smithville, Texas Trnixty CoUege — A.r ansa5 XJnwzrsxfj The Owls met their first defeat of the season, at the hands of the powerful T. I. A. A. team. Trinity College, October loth; the final score was i3 ' 0. Trinity outplayed Rice in every department of the game. Both scores were made m the third quarter, one on a partially blocked kick, and the other on straight, hard football. Trinity played a consistent charg ' ing game, taking advantage of every break, while the Rice backfield and line were weak and deficient in drive, interference, team play, and a proper winning spirit. It was not until the beginning of the second half, that an impotent Rice team began to rally, to finally win from Arkansas 13-9, October 17th, on Rice Field. The first half was miserably played, but true Rice spirit and sheer fight, aided by a brilliant passing game, enabled the Owls to score in the last two quarters. It was in this last half that the line began to function properly the first time this season, inspired by the brilliant playing and leadership of Underwood, and the steady games of Williams, Hochuli, and Herting. HTfete u ' r l8r im.it .avigt g; Sam J. Williams, Jr. Galveston, Texas Paul Hochuli Houston, Texas Texas A brilliant Texas backtield bat- tered down a determined Rice de- fense in the second halt of the game in the Memorial Stadium in Austin, October 24th, and won 27-6. The Owls, primed tor a fierce and unequal fight, got off to a flashy start, scoring in the first quarter by fast and accurate playing. The day was sultry and oppres- sive, and Underwood and Herting were forced out of the game during the third quarter, completely pros- trated. It was in this third quarter that Texas was able to push over her winning touchdowns. It IS no excuse or apology to say that it was due to the heat and lack of any reserves, adequate or not, that the weaker Rice team could not stand the gaff, and so lost. Consid- ering everything. Rice played a mar- velously aggressive game against Texas ' team of stars. The line play of both teams was relatively equal in point of view of sheer merit, and both lines played hard football during the whole game, despite the exhausting heat. Under- wood was easily the outstanding figure ot both teams on offense and defense, with Ptannkuche, second. cr - ie fei) ij,y:?ie WiLLTAM McVeY Cleveland, Ohio William G. Smiley Houston, Texas Southwestern With George Murray proving a superb battering ram, and with Ho- chuli at safety, handling the slippery ball with ease and precision. Rice skidded to a 19-0 victory over South- western on the slush-covered Rice Field, October 31st. Southwestern, ranked as the lead- ing team of the T. I. A. A., was un- able to get going, and made but one first down, and that on a penalty, against the machine-like play of the Owls, who, despite a rather weak kicking game, made ten first downs on straight, technically perfect foot- ball. The hard, low driving of the Rice line swept the Pirates back, and op- ened the way for Murray ' s brilliant line plunging. On defense, it was again the furious charging of the Rice forwards, led by Underwood, Heyck, Loughridge, and Joseph, that broke up the Southwestern plays, almost before they had formed. Rice scored once in the first quar- ter, and twice in the fourth, mainly through excellent and accurate pass- ing in spite of a wet and muddy ball. Not one play that was attempted failed to go, and not once did Rice spirit and fight lag. Tlbte Ug i iEW P ' ttW Fred A. Revnolds Fort Sill, Oklahoma Louisiana State University It IS hard to believe that this was the same Rice team that faced Texas and Southwestern so briUiantly the preceding weeks. Rice lost to L. S. U. 6-0 at Baton Rouge on November 7th, in a cu- riously played game, m which the desperate aerial attack ot the Owls was tar outshone by the more accu- rate one of the Tigers. The score was made in the fourth quarter on a 25 yard pass from Stephens to Haynes, who ran a remaining 20 yards for a touchdown. The first half of the game was played in in- tense heat, the second half in a heavy cold downpour of rain. Rice, though seriously handicapped by Murray ' s injury, should have won from a weaker and inferior team ; that they didn ' t was due simply to poor team playing and neglectof opportunities; every man fought desperately for himself, and by himself. The recon- structed L. S. U. team was keyed up to a pitch of frenzy that would not be denied. Rice ' s best chances to score were all in the first half, as the Tigers kept the Owls continuously on the defensive throughout the latter part of the game. gN JSriei$ ' i(i li? ) 1j fee Texas A. M. The old, old story of a smaller, desperately fighting team holding a larger, more powerful one to a small score, was re ' enactedNovember 14th, when Rice surprised Southwestern fans by holding the powerful fight- ing Aggies to a 17-0 score, on Rice Field. Wilson, Kishi, and Hunt, aided by the greatest line A. fer ' M. has ever had, were unable to do more than score a field goal during the first half; but this same combination came back in the second period, and made two touchdowns, one in the third, and one in the fourth quarter. The Owls staged a game fight, but had many lapses into poor football. Only Underwood played a consist- ently effective game, though Hert- ing, Joseph, and Heyck all showed flashes of vigorous football against their superior opponents. To really understand the signifi- cance of the score, one must consider that it was only ten days later that the same Aggie team soundly de- feated the wonderful Texas machine 28-0. Rice did the best they could a- gainst a much better team, and this is all that could be asked. nribte tg ' ' 2r tr :w it5 avtaCt Willie . Kendrick Houston, Texas Robert F. Lolghridge Waco, Texas ' Rice exhibited the best form they had shown this season, when they fought Baylor to a 7-7 standstill on Thanksgiving Day. Baylor, striving desperately to win one conference victory, scored on a beautiful pass in the fourth quarter. Murray drove over Rice ' s score by hard plunging, in the second quar- ter. During the last period. Rice staged a furious march up the field, which was terminated in the last few seconds, when the ball was passed, received, and fumbled, just over the Baylor goal line. Though Rice consistently out ' played Baylor throughout, they lacked the punch at times to seize opportune moments of advantage. Rice made nine first downs to Baylor ' s five, and completed six pass- es against Baylor ' s one; moreover, the hghter Rice line completely out ' fought and outcharged their heavier and more seasoned opponents. Not a man on the team but played above his head —Underwood, Wib Hams, Reynolds, Loughridge, Heyck, Joseph, Kendncks, McVey, Smiley, Ogg, Grain, Herting, Murray, Cal ' vin, Winston, Madden, and DeCam ' ara — all bringing a season of glorious fighting effort to a superb close. cr MriCi ' t ii ' fce I.ETTERMEN, 1925 wap ' rr ? ;: ff - ' ' PRE-SEASON WORK: SHORT SPRINTS LOOSEN ' EM UP PRE-SEASON WORK: HEISMAN EXPLAINS SOME FINER POINTS nflbte t r lgr g its ■avigit HEISMAN EXPLAINS A NEW IM.AV Ml ' RRA ' IS STOi ' I ' KD BY ■|klNr[ ' s 11 r BREAKS ri ' f) ' l.

This is the only side the general public sees, and only those who have a more ex- tensive and deeper knowledge of the game as a whole, and who know Rice and local conditions thorough- ly, can well understand that such a supposition would be false and un- just to players and coach alike. But Rice deserves credit for pluck. In the first place, the squad was composedlargelyof Sophomores. Two of these had been stars m high school, it is true, but the gruelling exac- tions of a Varsity season found them wanting in great measure. This can be better understood when it is known that one of them has suffered f romappendicitis since his high school days, and the other had his leg broken m his last year at high school. Both men were considerably slowed down by their weaknesses, and never really played the game they were capable of, though they tried hard. It must be understood that they were among Rice ' s best. The remain- der of the squad, as a whole, was composed of [ good, willing, hard working boys, with verylittle athletic back ground. The system of playing that was taught was a short pass game. This system is conceded by all to be the most effective method of team play, but by far the most difficult to mast- er. And this young, inexperienced Sophomore team had to learn it, and learn it well enough to be expected to do wonders with it. With but one or two exceptions, the games were all very close, and every team played respected Rice as a dangerous and dogged rival. There was one record established this year, and that was the fact that Rice played the greatest number of over- time games ot any team in the Con- ference, something that is almost self-explanatory. Most of the games were played in the City Auditorium, which fur- nishes adequate seating facilities for the student rooting section, and for the spectators m general. However, It was somewhat of a handicap to the team, accustomed to practicing on the much smaller floor m the Field House. The team should gain more score -book vic- tories next year, as Rice loses only two letter men through gradu- ation. Theseare Captain Hopkins, and Travis Calvin. With a little help from the Fresh- man class, the work of the past year should bring results that will put Rice well up in the Conference race. cr J C $ CW ibi tJ gte % Top row: Coach Ashcratt, Applmg, Justpir, Jcii ' ivina, 1..

Throughout the South ' west he was known not only for his abiHty on the court, but also for his gameness and fight- he was a leader of men. His fight in the face of physical disabilities that would discourage most men stamps him as a man of the finest type. His spirit and determi- nation always led his team on to greater ef- forts in a season of re- verses.

He should continue to improve next season and, with the prospect of a winning team, his play should be sensational.

Despite the fact that he played backguard, he was one of the high scorers, lead- ing all the guards. Uet ' ig (gr T mjgL : : THE GAMES The series with Centenary can serve as a review oi the season as a whole. The first game was long and hard fought; Rice overcame a large lead in the second half, only to lose in three overtmie periods. The team cracked the next game, the same sec- ond half fight coming too late. Against Texas, the team played their best game, winning the first in an extra period. Once they came from behind to tie the score just as the game ended, to win in the extra period. The return game was hard fought, but Texas was not missing their shots, while Rice could not hit theirs. Two closest games were played against Baylor. The whirlwind finish was more than oifset by the miserable play of the first halt. In the second game. Rice in the last half came from behind to get a lead, only to let down in the closing minutes. Rice put on her special A. M. fight when the Aggies were played. An overtime period was necessary when A. er ' M. tied the score on a foul shot made in the last second of play. Rice lost in the overtime pe- riod. In the last game ot the series the second halt rally was killed by the lack of teamwork due to the in- dividuality ot the players. Then came T. C. U., Rice playing T. C. U. off her feet at the start of the first game only to wither in the last period. In the return game, an- other surprise was in store. This time Rice tailed to rally during the game, losing a poorly played contest. The champions trom Arkansas came to Houston to give a basketball lesson. They did, the first game. Rice gave them a lesson in fighting the second game. It seemed as though they did not miss a shot the first game, while in the second the num- ber of shots made was limited. The last series was played with S. M. U. Rice seemed to have lost all her ability in these games and ap- peared glad that the season was over. S. M. U. had a good defense and an offense built around two men whom the Owls could not handle. 1026 LETTER ME N ,- ■■ i-A 1 ' ' Wk %: X I-- M:Ak ]$ft$ebaU HTh e u ' :2 i £La t 1ts a igt t BASEBALL, 1 92 5 Rice started offher 1925 base ' ball season, as it seemed, towards a Conference , Championship. But plain hard . luck stepped in and halted the promising march, when both pitch- ers, Wood and Abies, sustained in- juries that kept them from the game for the greater part of the season. Wood was injured in the A. fer M. game, when the score was 4-1 in Rice ' s favor. He suffered a badly sprained ankle, which kept him on the bench for several weeks. Rice lost this game ' 5: ' 4, in the tenth. Abies was lost to the team when he broke his arm in the first Arkan- sas game. Rice won the game, but Abies was out for the season. Rice began the season by winning the first three games in succession, Texas, A. ? M., and S. M. U. and tieing T. C. U. in an eleven inning game, called on account of darkness. Hale, the flashy catcher, broke his arm in the Oklahoma game, and was out of the last three games. His place was ably filled by Heavy Underwood, who fin- ished out the remainder of the season in fine shape. Coach Bedenk had a fine spirit among the players the whole sea- son. This was especially gratifying, for it was the Coach ' s first position as head coach of a Var- sity team, and his work was greatly aided by the keen, eager, and intense spirit of loyalty and hard, persistent, effort that were manifested from first to last by the squad as a whole. Besides, their work was encouraging m a technical way, for they contin- ually showed flashes of good, solid baseball throughout the season. This gave promise of results next year. Six of the first string men brought their careers in college baseball to a close this season. They were Cap- tain Wilford, Lindsay Hale, Danny Bloxsom, Bob Ray, Paul Nash, and Dallam Fisher. AH of these men have played three years of consist- ently good baseball, and Rice will greatly miss them. They leave a big gap to be filled by more or less new men next year, something to be think- ing about, for it must be considered that every one of these men is a first string player, and that all of their experience under a new system of coaching will be lost. Coach Bedenk again fulfilled the expectations of the student body in his work in baseball, just as he did in football the past season. With his tact, keen judgment of his men, his actual knowledge of the game, and his splendid person- ality, he gained the con- fidence and loyalty of everyone, especially his players. This is most important, for it furthers a hope for future sue cess, since the basis of such hope is founded on belief in the coach ' s abil- ity, and in himself. cr J 7iei$ ' 4 i?i)i iu e Top row: Waller, Ray, D.

U. o CAPTAIN MARION WILFORD Captain Wilford brou liant and versatile coUe career to a close, with the ending of the base- ball season in ' 2?. Of high and firm char- acter, and of exceptiona ability as an athlete, he was a fitting man to cap- tain Varsity baseball this year. As a player, he was of immense value to the team for the whole of his three years ' partici- pation, playing in any of the positions on the team with ease and confidence. He isbest known as a pitcher of note, though the most of his last year ' s playing was on first base. Dutchy has been a part of Rice football and baseball teams for three years, and has been a very valuable part at that; he has set up a high standard of effi- ciency in college ath- letics. fete u ' r lgra i i «avigtTt George Wood Houston, Texas Robert Ables Toxarkana, Texas Marion- Wilford Mavtieia, Keiuuckv Wood The season of 1925 marked Wood ' s first year in college baseball. After the injury to Abies ' arm, Wood was the sole reliable pitcher on the Owls ' lineup, taking part m all but four of the total games. Wood also had a fair batting average for a member of the twirling staff. He gained a berth on the far-famed All-Confer- ence team. Abies Abies made an auspicious debut into the realm ot the college sport, like Wood, this season being his first. His goddess deserted him in his fourth game; during the second contest with Arkansas, he had his arm broken by a pitched ball. Abies, m spite of his handicap, pitched four remaining innings before receiving medical attention. Dd Cdinara Another man to begin his career in igi ! was Shirley Da Camara. His regular position was shortstop; he fielded well and proved to be a home- run king. His playing merited his being chosen captain of the next team. Hale William Lindsay Hale was one of the reliable men on the team, and he proved to be a good judge of oppos- ing batters as well as a batter. Shirley DaCamara Laredo, Texas Wll.I.IAM I.IMJSAV Ha Mayfickl, Kentucky Dan Bi.oxsom Houston, Texas g J ee J t ibjA t i fce Lewis Dallam Fisher Houston, Texas D 171 BIox5om Dan Bloxsom was the heaviest hit- ter of the year and a sensational fielder; he also pitched in one game. His play on the Rice team earned him a berth with the Houston Buffs. Dallam Fisher was a dependable fielder and always showed up well at bat in a pinch. This was his last year. Paul Nash returned to play on the Rice team after an absence of several years. He was a utiUty infielder and a fair hitter. Robert Ray Houston, Texas L iideru ' ood Heavy was probably the most versatile man on the club, playing outfielder, first-baseman, and catch- er with equal ability. Robert Ray showed the same fighting spirit on the diamond that he did on the basketball court. George BIox5077i George Bloxsom ' s squatty build made him an ideal lead-off man. He was a good hitter. Vox Eddie Fox was undoubtedly the fastest man on the team, and he had an unusual ability for judging flies. Wash Underwood Honey Grove, Texas George Bloxsom Houston, Texas Eddie Fox Houston, Texas TketSt ' i iE p iX Texas Aggies The new Rice team was thorough ' ly tried in the opening contest a- gainst the Aggies from College Sta- tion. Wood started the game but was relieved by Abies in the eighth. The Aggies started the game right with two runs in the tirst inning. It was necessary to play ten innings to give the victory to the Owls. A. and M. more than evened the score when the Owls met the Farm- ers on Kyle Field. The score itself was not so far against the Blue and Gray, but this game marked the first Conference loss for the men under Bedenk. The Aggies added a prise scalp to their belt when they won by a score of 5 to 4. Texas University The tirst victory against Texas was the sweetest that Wood could have hoped tor. The Steers used three pitchers to stem the hitting Owls, but to no avail. Williamson, Clements, and Cox represented Tex- as, while Wood pitched the full nine innings for Rice. In the third inning. Hale and DaCamara each tapped Williamson for home runs. Hale re- peated the feat in the eighth. The final score was 8 to 3. This score was exactly reversed three weeks later in Houston, the Steers taking the game 8 to 3. The twirling of Clements and the hitting of Williamson were the two main factors in the Texas win. - ■■•■ ' a?St; cr - Jto.ee ' U1: lb )i 1 fee Texas Christian University Feeling was high at the first game with T. C. U. Rice was being touted for the Conference championship. Neither Rice nor T. C. U. had lost a game. The game proved to be one of the most closely contested ever seen by Rice fans. For twelve in- nings, It see-sawed back and forth, and finally ended in an 8 to 8 tie. After knocking Fox cold, Under- wood made a neat peg to the home plate in time to save the game in the eleventh. Abies relieved Wood after six innings. In the return game, Wood pitched a shut-out game a- gainst the Christians, cheating them out of a Conference championship and winning for Rice. Baylor University Wilford started in the first game against the Bruins, but he was soon replaced by Abies. This did not stop the hitting, so Wood took the mound for the last two innings. The day was lost when the Bears pounded Wood for two doubles, a triple, and a homer. The final score was 17 to 3 against Rice. Credit for the win was due to Red Gore ' s superb pitching for Baylor. Baylor managed to put over a second victory in the last game with the Owls. Wood pitched a good game up to the eighth inning and led the Bears all the way ; how- ever, he allowed two hits at a criti- cal time, and the score was tied. In the ninth Baylor scored. Score : 7 to 6. nrifcte tSi ' 2-i C : tit? avigCt Souther?! Methodist University Rice got but one chance at the crew of Methodists, since the second game for April 25 was rained out. In the first game the spirit at Rice was running high, and Wood and Abies both took part in the 8 to 5 victory. The feature of the game was the long distance hitting of a certain Bedford of S. M. U., this contributing much to the interest of the tray. Arkansas University Arkansas journeyed down to Houston for a two game series with the Owls, who had been losing for the past tew games, but Wood put an end to the Razorbacks ' hopes in the tirst game by a 7 to o shut-out. The following day Abies made a clean sweep of the c lub, winning by a 2 to o score. Brown of Arkansas also pitched great baseball. Oklahoma A. and M. The Owls ' trip to Stillwater was very unprofitable. Not only were both games lost, but Hale received a broken arm. In the first game, the Sooners won by 10 to 5 despite Wood ' s homer. The last game went by a 10 to 2 score, D. Bloxsom and Wilford pitch ' mg. ; Vi) nribte t g twie p a iact TRACK 1925 Rice ' s 25 sea- son on the track consisted ot but three dual meets and participa ' tion in the Con- ference Meet. With Fred MCHOL.MiN StancHff out tor the season and with but little ma- terial aspiring tor places on the team, the going was rough and the Owls fared badly all season. The burden of scoring tor Rice rested on the shoulders of Bill Smiley and Joe Luckie. Among the Owl track candidates were some men who showed excel- lent promise ot development, but one season did not allow enough time for sufficient progress to make them sure point men. Going to Austin for their first meet, the Owls received a drubbing at the hands of the team that later won the Conference championship. The Longhorns had things their way. Two weeks later at Houston the Owls showed unexpected strength against Baylor and gave the Bruins acloseraceforthe honors. The Texas Aggies came to Rice the follow- ing week and defeated the Owls by a large score. In the Conference M2et,held early in May, the Rice team took fifth place, topping Oklaho- ma A. cr ' M. and Texas Christian University. High class competition was in evidence at this meet, nine conference records being broken in an affair hotly contested by Texas A. and M. and Texas University, with the Longhorns victors. The absence ot Fred Stanclitf was a serious handicap to the Owls. Stan- clitf, runner up for national honors in the discus throw at the Olympic trials, withdrew from participation in track activities for a season, giving up his captaincy in doing so. How ever, Fred was again chosen captain at the start of the ' 26 season. Coach John P. Nicholson, inter- nationally famous for his work on the track, especially in the hurdle races, coached the Rice team during the ' 25 season. New at Rice and with but a mere handful of candi- dates for the team, Nicholson could not be expected to turn out a win- ning group. At Rice Nicholson found a differ- ent type of athlete from that with which he had been working in the No rth. ' Nick is noted for his cham- pionship in the high hurdles and for the Canadian track squads that have won honors under his tutelage. While at Rice, Nich- olson established the Southwest Relay, an extensive program of track events involving a multitude of famous athletes. Plans have been laid to make the Relays an annual affair. Nicholson did not re- turn to Rice in 26, being called back to the Montreal A. A. A. in Canada. _ J iie ' t fei) t, fee Tow row: Smiley, Goodrich, Madden, Coach Nicholson, Branard, Hooton, Ransom.

He was unanimously reelected to lead the team in that year. Fred comes from El Campo, where he was a consistently high per- former. He captained the Freshman track team his first year at Rice, and , his fine work brought j him into prominence. During the 1924 season, f cap- so as his work was the only redeeming feature. After the close of school, he went to New Orleans and won first place in the discus throw in the Southern Olympic Trials. He lost out, how- ever, in the finals at Bos- ton, by a small margin. Among his records in the discus toss are the T. I. A. A. record in 1923, the Southwestern Conference record in ' 24 and ' 26. The latter was in March, ' 26.

SMILEV II) LrCklE Smiley Bill Smiley, who had done but little high jumping and no broad jumping during his Freshman year, came back as a Sophomore and de- veloped into the best broad jumper and one ot the best high jumpers in the Southwest Conference. Luck e Always a star dash man, Jo Luckie added real strength to the Owl track team. A series of first places gave him a good record. He is considered one of the best dash men in the Southwest. Madde?i The development of Jesse Mad- den was one of the pleasant features of the season for the Owls. In a short while, Jesse developed into a good half miler. Eiser Hard work put Howard Eiser to the front in Rice track activities. He succeeded in developing almost perfect form in the hurdles. JESSE MADDEN HOWARD EISER g JKriee jJT ibt iu fee Texas In the first meet of the year, held at Austin, April 4, the Texas Long- horns smothered the Owls under a score of 98 to 19. Rice placed five times. The work of Smiley and Luckie brightened up the performance of the Rice team. Two firsts by Smiley and a first and a second by Luckie, together with a tie for second by Goodrich, gave the Owls their points. Smiley took first place m the high jump and the broad jump. Luckie was first in the loo-yard dash and second in the 220. Goodrich tied for second place m the high jump. Composed almost solely of inex- perienced men, the Rice team cou ld hardly be expected to make any great impression against the seasoned Longhorns. Baylor The Baylor Bears found the Owls not such easy pluckings, and the green Rice group gave the Bruins a tough fight. The final score was 67 to 50, with Baylor on top. This meet was held April 18, at Rice. Madden, Cottingham, Luckie, Smiley, Good- rich, Hannon, Morgan, Webb and Calvin did good work for Rice. Wb t ' ' 0 W i n va XtW A. and M. On April 25 the Texas Aggies de- feated the Rice group by a score of 96 to 21. Smiley won the only un- contested tirst place for Rice. This was in the broad jump. He tied with Webb of the Aggies for first place in the high jump. Eiser won two second places. Luckie took a second, and Crane a second. In the 100 yard dash, Poth of A. and M. broke the Conference rec- ord, with Jo Luckie of Rice at his heels. Luckie ' s time was 9-9 10, which also broke the record, not, however, giving Jo the place. S. 1 Conference Meet With the powerful Texas Long- horns and Aggies fighting for the honors of the Conference Meet at College Station on May 9, Rice had small chance for a big showing. How- ever, although entered in but four events, the Owls took fifth place. Smiley took first place in the broad jump, and tied for third place in the high jump; Madden took second place in the 880 yard run, upsetting the dope; and Luckie took fourth place in the 100 yard dash. : H-H-l-. TKe t @ ' a ig (Sr T ssnts avigiH: DAIGHERTV THE SEASON, 25 Texas A. and M. felt the early season strength ot the Owls in April and dropped a dual meet at Houston without winning a match. The following Saturday at Dallas the Owl net men defeated S. M. U. four matches out of six. Journeying to Norman the next Monday, the Owls met their first defeat from the Oklahoma Sooners. At Baylor the next Saturday, a close meet was carried off by the Bruins. White and Daugherty of Rice won their matches with ease, taking both singles and doubles ; but Powers and Armstrong won for the Bears by defeating Fitch and Sloan. Rain stopped the match between the Owls and Texas Univer- sity in Houston the fol- lowing week with hon- ors about even. Sam Fitch a week later defeated Murray of Tulane, holder of the Southern Intercollegiate tennis cham- pionship, in a hard fought two-out- of -three-set match. But Tulane won the other two matches and carried off the honors. The Owls played their last tennis at the Southwest Conference tour- nament, held under the auspices of Texas Christian University at the Meadowmere Club in Fort Worth, late in May. Fitch was jiwg eliminated by Funk- iS houser of Texas Univer- sity, after two rounds. Sloan was prevented from entering the semi- finals by Mather of Texas, doubles partner to the notorious Thal- heimer . White and Daugherty were elimi- nated by Bill Powers of Baylor. W. S.

One of the outstanding play- ers of the Conference, with a true Tilden form, his ability was ah ways respected by his opponents. A driving game kept Sam forever on the offensive. An occasional un- certainty caused him to pay close attention to the fine points of tennis and made him a genuine student of the game. White Shorty ' ' displayed excellent form on occasions, reaching his highest mark at the Conference tournament at Fort Worth. Here he single-hand- edly gave Powers and Armstrong of Baylor a tussle for honors in the second round doubles. Shan Rice ' s ' ' second strong man, Her- bert Sloan, was selected by his team mates to lead the Owls in tennis in 1926. He decided to withdraw for a year, and the captaincy went to Edwin Beckenbach of Dallas. A hard driver, Sloan made his mark with the Owls, and his work leaves a strong impression, not only as a good thing of the past, but as a bright promise for the future. He will be at Rice two more years. Daugherty Consistency marked the play of Paul Daugherty. Paul was a hard man for his opponents at any time and did his best work under strong pressure. He did not return to Rice for the 1926 season. I: ! nrae t9 ' r igr 7m.it5 avigtct Ransom, Greer, Cottingham (Cap ' tl, Coach Hiertberg, McKamey, Russell, Frazee. CROSS-COUNTRY Coach Hiertberg issued a call for candidates tor the cross-country team in September. Six men reported, and worked consistently and earnestly the rest ot the season. Oi these, only 3 had ever participated in this branch ot athletics before. They were Cot- tingham (the captain), Ransom, and McKamey. The new men developed remarkably well and very quickly. The first meet held was with A. OS ' M. in Houston, on November 14. The Aggies won, but not without a tight fight. This will be an annual meet, preceding the Rice-Texas Ag- gie football game. The other meet was also in Hous- ton, on November 21, when Rice played host to the teams of the South- west Conference. The Aggies won again, with Texas second, and Rice third. The Rice team showed to ad- vantage, finishing five men before S. M. U. ' s second came home. Greer is the only man to letter in cross-country since the sport was organized at Rice three years ago. Next year ' s prospects seem bright, though the work of Captain Cotting- ham and King Ransom will be missed. cr ' Jiiee t ibJA i fce Standing: Davis, Knippel, Purl, Calvert, Covin, C. D.

The early part of the season was spent in hard and inten- sive training with the varsity, and in teaching the first year men the fundamentals of Heisman ' s system of football. A remarkable squad turned out and remained out the whole sea- son. There was weight, speed, abil- ity, and lots of all combined, among the Green Owls. Under the keen eye of Coach Hamill, a number of excellent players were brought out, and received their elementary train- ing for future Varsity careers. The Freshmen defeated Westmin- ister 13-7, and then were beaten at Dallas 16-0, by Terrill Prep School. Following this, they fought the Schreiner Institute on a muddy Rice Field to a o-o tie. Their last game was with South Park College, at Beaumont. This also resulted in a tie, 2-2. A lot depends on these men for Rice ' s success for the next few vears. nFireir r @: : s its a igttf!; FRESHMAN BASKETBALL I926 Coach Be- denk took over the job o t coaching the Green Owl basketeers. The squad was not very numerous, nor was it any too enthusiastic. The men who were out, however, proved to be of excellent calibre, and will be of im- mense value to the Varsity next year. Only three scheduled games were played, the Freshmen defeatingSouth End Junior 42-18, and Quo Vadis 21-18, and losing to Heights Senior High School by a small margin. Be- sides these games, several practice contests were held with local teams, the Freshmen winning all ot them. Bill Schroeder captained the Green Owls, and was ably backed by Long- cope, Smith, Rogers, Davis, Abies, Hyde, Masterson, Beissner, and Mc- Cormick. These men were all fast, and pos- sessed a good fighting spirit, besides knowing the game thoroughly and showing good sportsmanship. INTRAMURAL GAMES The South Hall Bolsheviks met and defeated the West Hall Rats 7-0, in football, but their triumphant march toward the championship was halted when they were held to a 0-0 score by the town Riff-Raffs, in a game featured by the refereeing for the Dorm men, and the sideline coaching of the townsmen. The Sophomores again won the annual IntramuralRelays,whichwere held this year on December 7 and 8. The Juniors took second place, the Seniors third, and the Freshmen last. Coach Hjertberg was an interest- ed spectator, and he found much good material for his team among the various contestants. These games are growing m im- portance and size every year, and make up a large part of College life at Rice. ' L ' V --; ; 4 J •♦■ ■ - cr- iei$ ' i{p lb )b1 fee THE SOUTHWESTERN RELAYS The second annual Southwest Re- lays were held for 1926 on March 27, at Rice Field. A brilliant field of athletes competed before the eyes of nearly five thousand spectators. The activity of about 250 entrants in the University class, and equally as many in both junior college and high school division, lent zest galore to the oc casion, and maintained a high state of excitement throughout the meet. Coming from behind by a brilliant final ten-yard spurt, Swinburne of Georgetown University beat Cuhel of Iowa to the tape in the mile relay, bringing victory to his relay team. This marked Iowa ' s first defeat this year, and came as a complete surprise to sport critics and fans. Captain Fred Stancliff of Rice set an example to his men in winning the discus throw. His work was later duplicated on the track in the desperate runs of Webb, Madden, Greer, and Weichert. Madden was forced to take third place in the mile run, by Niblick of Oklahoma University, but only relinguished his position after a keen fight. In the field events, Stan- cliff was first in the discus throw, making a mark of 136 feet. Morgan of Oklahoma won the I ' avelin toss, and Boettger of Drake came off best in the shot-put. Haggard of Texas won first place in the high jump, while Potts of Oklahoma won the pole vault. First place in the broad jump was won by Dowding of Georgetown. Considerable interest was mani- fested in the running of Adrian Pau- len, the Dutch track star. He was the only non-collegiate entered, but somewhat disappointed the crowd when he signed up for only the 440 yard run. He won easily from Mc- Clean, Georgetown, in 493 5 seconds. The Haskell Indians made a splen- did showing, winning first places in two mile relay, University division, and half mile Senior relay, second in the college medley and mile relays. GOIN ' G FOR A RECORD nribteU ' ig (gr ; s 1t? .a igil: The work ot the high schools was of excellent quality. Humble won the loo yard dash in lo.i seconds. Sunset High ot Dallas came first in the half-mile relay; Beaumont won the 220 yard low hurdles, while Main Avenue ot San Antonio took first place in the medley relay. A- mong other notable marks set in this meet, was the record of 49 feet and 2 ' 2 inches made by Celaya ot Brownsville High School. Members oi the winning relay teams were presented with white gold watches. Silver bronze med- als were awarded members of other teams. To Dr. Gaylord Johnson, mana- ger, goes a good deal of the credit tor the success ot the relays. Every- thing went otf without a hitch, and this counted tor a good deal in esti- mating the final success ot the affair. The showing ot the Rice Track men was, in the main, very pleasing to the students and supporters of t he Institute. Credit is due the per- sistent etforts of Coach Hjertberg. s r 5W 100 ARI) DA.SH crs Ji iee C lbiA i iige INTERSCHOLASTIC RELAYS Forest Avenue high school of Dallas won the eighth annual invi- tation meet, held at Rice Field April 23rd and 24th, winning four first and two second places in track and field events, also honors in the two relays. Smith viUe high school won second place, with Dayton high school third. One first, four seconds, one of which was a tie, and two third places made the record of the SmithviUe team. The Dayton team made three first places. The all around good work of the Forest Avenue team was the feature of the meet. Individual stars were Bracey of Humble and Harbour of Dayton. Bracey won the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and Harbour, the broad jump and the 440 yard run. A track made heavy by April showers slowed up the meet, ah though Forest Avenue came within two seconds of tying the national high school record in the half mile relay.

Since then, this little group has made remarkable progress, and has earned quite a name for itself throughout the state. Last year the team represented Rice at the First College Circus, held at the State Fair in Dallas. They won second prize for their novel and ingenious stunts. This year they bet ' tered this mark at the second All College Circus, held again at Dallas. The team has performed before the Recreational Institute of Houston, in conjunction with a number of lee tures given by Coach Ashcraft, for the First M. E. Church, and at the May Fete this spring. Paul Perry, the captain and in ' structor, has surrounded himself with an enthusiastic squad of men. GIRLS ' GYM CLASS In the early part of the second semester, 65 Rice co-eds became stu- dents of gymnastics under the direc- tion of coach Ashcraft. Thirty of these stayed with the work until May 1 5 , then disbanding tor the year. A few hard knocks made the going more interesting, according to the more enthusiastic members of the class, who declare coach Ashcraft is establishing at Rice a real and per- manent system of co-ed athletics. Tumbling, indoor baseball, setting- up exercises, hurdling, are some of the forms of athletics prescribed. GOLF Something new in the Southwest Conference, golf was on the list of Rice athletics for the year ' 25- ' 26. Six men were chosen from some twenty prospects. They were Green- wood, Hancock, Scott, Branard, Watson, and Byrnes. These men were shaped into Rice ' s first inter- collegiate golf team. On the program was a dual meet with the Texas Aggies, the first of Its kind in the history of the South- west Conference. The first confer- ence meet for all the teams was sched- uled for May 21-22 in Houston. nribteU ' 2.1 (gr Tm its avigCt ' THE FOREIGN TEAM A great deal of credit and praise IS due to the loyal bunch of men who were known, during the past ' 2=) football season, as the foreign team. They never received a bit of glory, or praise, or anything except a great deal of hard, painful work. Their job was to learn the plays of the teams the Varsity would play each week, and demonstrate their possibilities and worth against the Varsity in scrimmage. Or they might do nothing but serve as dummies, more or less, upon which the Varsi- ty might try their plays and forma- tions, m scrimmage. They received no trips, nor any awards, and their very important part in the molding ot the Varsity was hardly known to any off the field. Yet they came out, day after day, the whole season long, even after the Freshman season was over. They never complained, nor grum- bled, nor shirked what they consid- ered their duty to the school, though this duty was hard and often pamtul. Upperclassmen and Freshmen to- gether, theirs was an inspiring bit ot loyalty and devotion to the interests of the school. The work of Bennett, Rogers, Bell, Masterson, Painter, Allen, Merrick, Myers, Covin, McKinnon, Hill, and Williams will stand out in the re- cording of this year ' s athletics, not obviously, it is true, but still there, behind the work ot the Varsity, in unselfish, impersonal drudgery. More than this, much good tal- ent was uncovered which would otherwise have gone unnoticed. All of these men were fighters, and most of them possessed an exceptional a- mount of football abiHty, which was kept in good form and practice throughout the season, thus prom- ising Coach Heisman a few more men for next year ' s team. It is to be hoped that some ade- quate form of recognition will be taken ot the services of the foreign team in succeeding years, but at present the student body owes them a debt of gratitude tor their deep, quiet showing of true Rice spirit, and for their devoted services tor the betterment ot the team. ij iiiMy| ji F toltatk cT ' J iee jTW ib A t fee .

Grampus SPRING ELECTIONS Marked by a fierce period of cam- paigning and an equally fierce period of polling at which excitement reached fever heat, the annual spring elections as usual put fire and lite into school affairs. The Thresher her- alded the approach of the contest with the traditional label: Political Pot Simmering ' Conflicting ele- ments were prevented from open warfare only with diificulty. Steam rollers were overhauled and camou- flaged with platform ribbons, manned with crews of lip service experts, and rolled out on the greensward where the hats in the ring were neatly blocked. Thus came in a new era of graft and corruption. The celebrated Alphonse and Gas- ton had nothing over the pair of turtledoves who aspired to the presidency. I hope that you will wm, my dear Jesse. I pray, my dear Jawn, that you are victorious. Let us have a milkshake. Yes, let ' s. And, gentlemen, so it goes. The old days of the rally and ballyhoo have given way to psychology and courteous exchanges of sweet noth- ings between the rival candidates. These latter, realizing that honors would be even in a mudslinging contest, have tactfully refrained from any such display of poor taste. Apparently it is a breach of eti- quette for a candidate even to want an office. And judging from past performances, those who do get offices don ' t know what to do with them. (Editor ' s note: There was dirt in that last remark.) g Mriee ' S[7 i? )i i )i?e THE MAY FIGHT Y Tmid a sitting of baseball and 5 I. bayou beauty, her Majesty, Sallie May Haughtry, was crowned (painlessly; see Painless Matthews for your dental work — adv.) Queen of the Bray in the (as usual) most beautiful May Fight that has ever been given at Rice or in Russia. Gorgeous and ' ' Beautiful have not sufficient explosive value to de- scribe the scene. The gowns of the Duckesses and maids of humor were of brilliant hues, ranging in color from the sick- ly green of a dog fish tonsil to the pulsing red of an inebriate ' s nose. The Queen received her revenue in the pictureskew court plaster set among the coffee bean bushes of the bayou and flowers from ex-service men (this advertisement contributed by Houston ' s leading business men). Her Majesty ' s costume was a sheer negligee of mother of pearl with trimmings of monkey fur. The entire court was dressed. The best part of the program was the award of the College Woman ' s Hiccup for the best all-around girl. Since there were no girls worthy o{ the award, the hiccup went to Mr. William Cecil Heflin, who rich- ly deserved it. This is by no means the first hiccup Mr. Heflin has had. Four years of unselfish devotion to the girls was a good background for Mr. Heflin ' s attainment. As presi- dent of the E. B. L. S., devotional leader for the Y. W. C. A., and as a stewedent, Mr. Heflin has served Rice faithlessly and well. THE MAIDS OF HONOR HFlbte t g ' 2r ' igr 7 s 1t5 tgit CLASS OF 25 ACTIVITIES fpRiNG activities ot the Class of ; were tortunately brought to a close. Each affair was enough in itself, leaving the senior in a condi- tion similar to that of the well-known Humpty-Dumpty just after his fam- ous fall. First in order was the Senior Bul- garian, which was held in the base- ment of the Rice Hotel one morning Tno one could remember which morn- ing). Delicious buttermilk punch was served, and the room was decorated in a livery stable motif, in order to make the class president, Mr. I. Marion Wilford, feel at home. One night, as the shades were falling fast and street car operators were hurrying to the car barns, the Seniors held their last meeting over a banquet table. Dr. Lovett was in on the feed and spoke to the Seniors on the importance of each Fresh- man ' s taking physical training m the gym. Music was furnished by Paul Whiteman ' s orchestra, playing on Ape Gibbon ' s victrola. The Final Brawl consummated the remainder of the time before the Seniors should step out to take ad- vantage of the helpless world. Pres- ident Wilford, m a brand new pair of B. V. D. ' s (over which he wore his pea-green suit) led the Grand Smirch. He was accompanied under protest by Miss Margaret Lester, who lived to spend another year at Rice. Thus closed the activities of the Seniors; and Dr. Lovett, with a grim smile, Vk ' hittled another notch in his official belt. A trio of debutantes at the Final Brawl.

On each face there was an ex- pression. One Senior even smiled. Another coughed rudely. Still an- other gazed into the audience at his best girl and almost recognized her. At the Baccalaureate sermon the Seniors learned that they were a- bout to step out into the world, where they would meet life tor the first time and be churned around in the only genuine educational insti- tution, the School of Hard Knocks. They discovered that Horatio Alger was right, and that, with a nickle and a half soled pair of shoes, they must pawn their gold tooth and con- quer the world and its inhabitants, never letting that upper lip get lim- ber tor a moment. These graduates were leaving Rice, after years of endeavor. The sun was blazing down. From the top of a distant pine tree came the hooting of an Owl. One Senior failed to trip on his gown as he ascended the platform, and the crowd thought that he had made a mistake in the formalities. Dr. Lovett shook hands one hun- dred and seven times, ' ' with all the rights, duties, and privileges apper- taining thereunto, and the Seniors left to get ready tor the garden party. . . . .And so another flock flew away from the old roost.

The hall was attractively and appropriately dec- orated with festoons ot boiled hams strung from the ceiling. Ed Hertzberg in the role ot Little Eva was the sensation of the even- ing. His acting brought tears to the eyes of those who still held respect for the Thespian art. Foxy Benton, as Simon Legree, laid on the lash with the cruelty and vile oaths ex- pected of the character. On the stage he was able to turn to good advantage the ruthlessness and vil- lainousness that everyone has noted in his disposition m everyday Hte. Holmes Richter, in the title role, turned in a performance that was alternately humorous and pathetic, tragic and comic. Newspaper comments labelled the play ' ' A clever burlesque of modern manners. The journaHstic critics attributed much of the success of the presentation to the excellent work done by Jawn Sutton and Jo e Miller as the Bloodhounds. Sam Williams, who had originally been cast for one ot the canine sleuths, was ruled out on account of cauliflower ears. s HE second bill in order of un- V_y importance was The Tale of Tno Cities, with Lee Chatham play- ing the part ot the martyr Sidney Carton. He was supported by a cast that included the Senior Class indi- vidually and collectively. He acted with such tervour and emphasis that his pertormance was one ot the most convincing that has been seen on or off the stage since The Ghost of West Hall Tower.

This little playlet is unique in stage history, holding the record for a minimum of dialogue and time and a maximum of action. The versatile Mr. Womack the Younger carried the audience off its feet with the vigour and realism of his characterization. The famous mob scene rivalled the best ever produced by DeMille or William A. Brady. Mr. Womack gave his personal attention to the scene shifting and direction of the play. (One Night Only.

Allan Stevenson, after studying four years of conference competition, rendered valuable assistance in tu- toring Freshman prospects in the fundamentals.

This remarkable picture of Lee Chatham should hang in the closet of the band room for the purpose of inspiring the brass moths not to chew on the horns (affording in itself a more suitable object for chewing.) In memory of K d w a r d Doublegut Hertzberg, F.dgar Monke gland Altenburg, and Michael Macaroni Spampi- nato(God bless them !)this ap- propriate monument should be placed on the campus.

Hence the following two pages THE STAFF fiORTU •E must have been in the hest ot spirits this year when the staff was chosen to assist the Cauipmiile edi- tor. As a result that editor desires to hurl a figurative bouquet of genuine gratitude to every member of the staff who has correctly interpreted and fulfilled his job. Only one or two were disappointing. The others proved beyond a doubt that a col- lege annual staff can work as smoothly and co-operate as splendidly as the highly effi- cient and paid staffs of professional pub- lications. A word about the department heads: What more capable artist could have been hoped for? An artist who knows Rice — her ideals and her meaning — through having studied there; one who has pro- gressed a good ways in the world of art: Margaret Brisbine has done a splendid work this year. Bernard Segal was truly a find . The excellence of his photography is not en- tirely representative of his value to the Campanile. His splendid attitude and his earnest, steady work and faithfulness made him much more than just a good photog- rapher and cartoonist. Harvin C. Moore was in training for his job as editor of the 1927 Campanile, and his value to the 1926 book it would be hard to estimate. 4xf Helen Clarke and ' ■ I.ura Duff are cer- 2 tainly to be com- ■ mended, while Ma- Bi.ANCHARD rlon Hubbell and Ruth Blackwel! deserve credit for their first bit of colletie annual work. There was no more thorough workman on the staff than Don Henderson, who handled his job in an e.xtraordinarily effi- cient way. His organization section is am- ple proof of this. Always there when needed, hard-work- ing and thoroughly capable: Joe Heyck proved to be the type that is editorially loved. Hendrix Davis, Clarence Canterberry, Mary Trammel], and Clara Becker were of decided value to the business manage- ment. Outside the staff there are always those who generously give their advice and as- sistance. In this connection thanks are due Carroll Blanchard, who has been of ma- terial assistance to half dozen Campaniles, Dan Willett, another old head among Campanile staffs, Henry Stanim, T. J. Baker, R. E. Dunn, Margie Draper, Essve Mae Howers, Chauncey Stewart, and the professional staffs of the Rein Printing Co. and the Parke Engraving Co., as well as the F.idson, Keystone, and Wheat stu- ciios. P specially to be appreciated was the splendid assistance and advice of Jack Fcjster. Besides these there are others whom the eciitor would like to thank per- sonally for their help and encouragement. Believing that a place to work is a pri- mary need of any school publication staff, the Campanile bosses this year opened a downtown office at SlSj Capitol avenue. The 1927 staff is retaining the office, as succeeding staffs no doubt will do. A building for all Rice publications is being planned for the future. It will prob- ably be erected on the campus, together with the students ' co-operative store. cr- Jl iee tt feil i fee EDITOR S PAGE-Continued CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE To Lo ' ett Aiuler- s o n A b e r c r o m b i e goes the credit of bei ng one of the most remarkably efficient business managers that probably any school publication has ever had. Two year-books he managed for Rice. In both unquestion- ably fine has been the quality of the art work, engraving, and printing, which it is the duty of the business manager to buy. Whatever can be said of the editorial man- agement, the record of the business man- agement stands unchallenged as to thor- 5ERL ROMBIE ough-going efficiency. Such was the work of Lovett Abercrombie that the 1925 Cam- panile is worth m round figures almost four thousand dollars more than his book of the precedmg year, which also showed a big increase in cost over the 1924 Campanile. It takes efficiency to provide for high class art work, engravings, and printing. It takes courage to bear up under the sneers and jeers of a student body that doesn ' t understand the business managers of its publications. It takes a stout heart to remain silent when false accusations are flung broadcast by a group of deliberately lying or ridiculously misinformed crit- ics. These virtues Lovett Abercrombie has had, and Rice, far more than the stu- dents realize, owes him a debt of gratitude. TIME FOR A CHANGE The position ct publication business managers at Rice affords one of the many arguments for a radical change in the system of student self-gov- ernment. It is this change that the Campanile would here like to suggest. Placing the cart before the horse, a publication board is needed. This dees not imply a censor board. Far from it. It means simply that a system is needed at Rice whereby the publications would be placed under an organized and responsible board of control, the control referring chiefly to the method ot selecting editors and business managers. In order to eliminate the popular notion that a publication manager is a modern enlarged edi- tion of the notorious Jesse James, and in order to provide a method ot selecting the best — and not merely the most popular — student for the office, the following ideas are here suggested to indicate two of the possible duties of the publication board: First, the appointment of the business manager from a field oj candidates, the student selected to be a Senior, who would receive a worthwhile amount of money (to be publicly known) tor his work; second, the selection of several candidates for editor, a choice to be made from the.se by popular vote of the entire student body. Candi- dates for business manager would be in training through their Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, with the reward of the managership in their Senior year it they had shown the most ability. . business managership should be a big money proposition if the book is to be a big money publication. The editor, who gets the credit or discredit for the book, and who is animated pri- marily through his interest in the work, should receive only a small salary. Plans similar to this are in practice in most universities today. Placing the horse back in position, there should be a thorough change away from the sad farce- comedy that now exists at Rice under the name of student self-government. In its place should be instituted a system with faculty representation and responsibility on the students ' council. Such a system would bring students and faculty to- gether on serious issues and would force each into a more sincere frame of mind as regards the posi- tion and welfare of the students as a body. These are personal opin- ions, briefly and imper- fectly stated because of lack of space. But they indicate possibilities and can be taken for what they are worth. nri : ' eTi r lgr ii; its a REQUIESCAT ' T he curtdin drops s o-iclv, siid x, on an eventful xear, and sleep, beautiful sleep . . . . . ,e-ven he who knits up the ravelled sleeve of care , . . , sleep unsolicited, comes over us.

So large was the demand tor mar- ble that blocks of perfect stone were at a premium. Shrewd craftsmen learned to carve their works of art from less costly but flawed mar- ble, filling the cracks and crevices with beeswax. Thus they obtained the price of perfect work.
