Whatever the new year brings forth
reverts back to the individual- If you
succeed "in your studies you have
been a credit to yourself as weli as
to Rice and to the world. While on
the other hand if you steep through
your studies and are interested in only
the "white tights," then you are a drug
on the market, and shoutd be put out
of the way; for you are occupying
space that some more worthy person
shoutd have. Some one has said that
att a person needs in order to succeed
is success.

I OWLS LOSE SECOND GAME TO
FROGS.
The Horned Frogs plucked another
feather from the gailant old Owl last
night when they defeated the Rice
quintet 1(1 to 9. The game Thursday
night was quite an improvement on
the previous nights battte. Both
teams showed greater speed and more
basketbatt sense.
The entire first half was a terrific
struggle between the two cags teams,
neither five being able to throw a
Held goal. All points in this period
were made by free throws. Three-
fourths of the half waged on between
the two fives with tie score. At the
end of this period the T. C. U. quin-
tet was leading four to two.
In the second half the Horned Frogs
began finding the basket and had
soon ran up a severat point lead over
which the fighting Owts coutd not
overtake.

System in Finance
The ability to lay aside systematically a part of
your weekly or monthly income and make it work
for you, is the chief element of success in this
world. This applies when you save money for
investment, old age or other future comforts.
By planning to save systematically you make
it possible to accomplish things that by ordinary
methods of accumulating money seem impossible.
We solicit small weekly or monthly deposits.
