FRESHMAN
FOOTBALL
RECORD
Much Good Material !n The
S!ime Class
The class of '35 is indeed proud of
the record of its fnotball team, made
up of men from all over Texas and
seserat other southern states. The sue-
cess of the team was due in a great
part to the efforts of Coach Arbuekle,
ably assisted by Coaches Nicholas and
Taylor, The schedule of five games
arranged by Coach Arbuckte was the
best that has yet been fitted by a Rice
t'reahman team and only one game of
the five was tost,
t he first gatue was with the Varsity
and resulted in a 7 to 0 victory for
Varsity only after hard fighting by
both teams, 'the game was onty an
inhibition and practice game in the
most part for all the men on both
sqmtds were used at one time or the
<iiber. Hy the end of tht; game, att
tuc fang were enthused over the proa-
of tta ;a;w materia] shown in the

t^u< to the ioss of so many letter
<.,< n tt\ graduation this year, Coaches
Arbuckte. Y«rger, ;ttid ilitty are facet!
wtth tile problem of devetoping a
V.ti.-tiy team made up mostly by ntem-
t,< [ of the Freshman team of tins
year, None of the men who won M-
!"r>. tast year ate sure of their posi-
tions tin?- year because of the good
nniteriM) coming up tn l)lt in the va-
cant gaps and strengthen tite weak
ptaees.
itettin at center is an nccuratu
passer, heavy but shifty for the
weight he carries, wilt be the man
who is most likely to fill Barrett's
shoes next year. Caivin, who play-
ed with an independent team in the
city last year, will be another can-
didate for that position.
Waters, the sturdy guard of the
slime team is good for one of the
guard positions on the Varsity. He
has plenty of weight and is especially
good on defensive work. Other can-
didates for the guard positions Will he
Grossman and Dixon for the slime
team and Perry from the Varsity
squad.
Lokey, Becker, and Bickford are the
most likely men for the vacant tackle
positions. These men will probabty
aiso have some competition for their
places in some of the backfield men
who will be shifted to the line.
The end positions will be weli taken
care of—Campbett and Lawrence of
the Varsity will be back for their sec-
ond letter while Hale, Irvine and Hill
of the Freshman tram wit! all be
strong contenders for the places. Hale
ami Irvine have shown up especially
weli on the wing positions and Hill
displayed his versatiiity by playing in
the baekfieid in some of the games.
The quarterback position wit] be
wctl taken care of atso, for Poutx and
Godwin of the Varsity squad wit) be
out fur a tetter tins year, and wii]
have Cotlic ant) Wilford of the slime
team to compete with.. These two met!
were the stars of ever; game on the
Freshman schedule and much is ex-
pected of them next 'year in the back-
fit td positions.
Halfback positions witt be tiiled with
good material, Captain Hoottchei,
Chambers, Sw:n't% and McCee, letter
men of this year, wit! he the nucleus
for a strong bask Hold while Handatt,
SuHivan and Johnson from the Freslt-
tttett will give them strong support,
The backfbdd promises to he one of
the' Rtrongest in the conference and
should tite tine be RHed ou! as welt.
Rice witt have a winning team next-
year.
Futlback position wilt see some
strong candidates a!so in Simpson
from the Varsity squad of this year
who is a punter of no mean ability,
Smith of tite Freshmen nnd one of
the most promising, stars that the
team produced, ami Anbury who show
ed a remarkable ability for, charging.
Xcxt year's team witt he a light one
without a doubt and a quick .open
style of footbaM wiH probably be the
method resorted to by the Hint- coaches
for a championship team. For the
iast few years. Rite has had a heavy
team in all respects but fans will see
a different sort of team <m the Held.
There is a littie cause to wetrry about
the prospects, for without a doubt
they are as bright now as they were
this time last year, except fur the
fact that must of the men are new. ;
These new men. however, have a repu- !
tation for being hard fighters, and :
plenty of weight can bo made up for'
by lighting spirit. A htrge per cent
of toe team next year wii! be tmtdo
up of this year's Freshmen, arid the
class of '25 is not a little proud, of
its men who are to fill up the positions ;
in the Varsity.
Flunks among the students in all
departments in the University of {
Colorado dropped 47 per cent from 1
iast quarter'^ mark, the total being ;
2'..t") for the quarter preceding and i.35 j
for the quarter just passed. The Law !
Schooi was the only department in
which there were no marks.
SLIME NINE
NOW TAKING
SHAPE
Under the eareiu! eye of Coaches
Hathorn and Nicholas the Freshman
baseball squad is fast rounding into
shape. "Jabeau" Hathorn needs no
introduction to Rice hasebal) fans,
having done four years mound duty
for the Owls, Since It'18 ho has been
prominent in Texas semi-pro circles.
Last year he was a member of Biilie
Smith's Shreveport entry in the Tex-
as League. Coach Nicholas received
his baseball training at Oberlin,
where he was prominent in all
branches -of spout. With these two
mentors at the helm,, and the won
derful array of talent available the
Freshman squad represents an em-
bryo team of great possibilities,
Hate, w-ho haits from Kentucky, has
been showing good form behind the
bat. He is att old heat! at the receiv-
ing end of the game and is a mighty
brainy catcher. Moore, a likely look
ittg backstop from Centra] High, will
assist Halo in this department.
With Irvine or Reynoids at first,
1'a Cantara or Hill at second. Asbtrry
at short, nnd Spcer or Waiters at
iltird, the Freshman can put att in-
deid in the tietd that will stack up
wit!' the best: in cotlege circles. All
ttf these men have had several years
experience ot, fast high school clubs
and some of them have played a;;
"'any. as. two seasons of semi-pro bait.
The outer - garden wilt be t'ompc-
ientty takei] care of by such men as
Mie.xsem, Mutters. Peters, Smith,
Kttssel): a,nd I'mier.
Three bull twitdera are showing'
<ea! ci;).-;;; ,<!] the mourtCt. ^-ft-ford
and King, tw<6 huaky right-banders,
ate goin.!.-,' great. Witi'ord wua - the
battery -mate 'of Hate at Mayfield
High.-and they cie&hod up everything
ttt Ferttucky. King got his start in
Lared,.. where he pitched for th.- La-
redo High School club for two entire
seasons without dropping a ungjo
game. CnmbreH completes the twirl-
ing tr.'i, and is a valuable assot to
the patching staff. Mo is a suttthpaw
v.ith tite unbeatable combination of
-.'ejtni ;.nd control. He w:t - the inai:!-
SLIMES HAVE
TRACK STARS
. . . ..
Although owing to their lack of or-
ganization and preparation, the fresh-
men dropped their initial meet to Cen-
tral High, much good material was un-
covered for the coming contests. Fiteh
and Ray, white a little off form, show-
ed that with a bit of coaching and con-
scientious training they will be able
to show their backs to many collegiate
entrants in the 100-yard dash. Ran-
dall and Thompsen, in the 440, are do-
ing good work, and can work them-
selves into sure conference contenders
in this event.
In the distances, the Owlets have
Sigler. Irvine, Parsons, Cottingham,
and Han nan. AH of these are men of
endurance, and with proper training
will make things interesting for fu-
ture opponents of the Slims.
In the hurdies, both low nnd high,
the freshmen and the Varsity of the
future have two sure winners. The
Riser brothers, if they run true to
the form they have so far disphtyed,
should assure us of both first and sec-
ond [daces in these events.
Captain Fred Stanciitf, who made
a mime for himself in last year's In-
tcrschohtst.ic Meet, is the best, bet in
the tieid events. He numbers it) his
repot toire every form of field sports
the pole vault:, high jump, broad
jump, discus throw, javelin throw, and
shot-put and excels in each of them.
Watt era is aiso a contender for polo
vaulting honors, white Frick is a high
jumper of ability.
Coach Arbuekle is working out, daily
with these men, not only to assure
their success in the Freshman meets,
httt he is confident that the Varsity
{cam of next, year lias a wealth of
materia! in the class of !.Mg6.
my of the S. M. F. freshmen last
year.
The schedule, as mapped out at
pr< sent, includes only two games.
Saia )ten-dim Norma) will be the op-
ponents of the Slimes cut the twenfy-
ti). t and twenty-second of this month.
Mote g'amt'x will be added to the pro-
gram as the sett sen got-s on.
With this spteruiid array of taient
coming up, an. unbeatable Varsity is
assured, for next veur.
