COACH ASKS FOR
MORE SLIMES
Meeting Called For
Monday In Amph
By Gordon Turrentine, '28.
Due to the fact that Freshman foot-
ball material is not reporting to the
coaches as it should, Coach Nicholson
of the Rice Institute Freshmen has
ordered a called meeting of all first
year men interested in athletics at
Rice. The meeting is to be held next
Monday, probably in the physics am-
phitheatre.
Since football practice for the
Slimes was instigated, only a small
percentage of eligible material has
been reporting regularly. More than
50 uniforms have been issued to
Freshmen, and daily counts show that
on an average not more than 25 men
report each day.
Coach Nicholson is especially anx-
ious that all football Slimes living in
the city come out for the practices, A
fair percent of the dorm athletics are
reporting, but there is a lax of ma-
terial from town. Freshman football
activities this year are taking an im-
portant part in the athletics of the
school. The varsity is depending on
these men next, year to come across
with the goods, and by turning out
regularly for the team this year, the
men will be even more valuable as
prospective material for the Owl
eleven.
A stiff schedule, yet to be an- j

By Coach Heisman.
Well, fellow Rieeonians, suppose
we all begin to get ready to commence
to get started. What?
Saturday starts the fun, fireworks
and fur to flying. Are we ready?
We'd better be. Coach Bedenk, after
watching Sam Houston play last week,
says that they have a better team by
100 per cent than he expected to see.
Coach Ashcraft says they will aver-
age lTO pounds in the backfield and
195 pounds on the line from end to
end, and that all are veterans save
two.
That's enough for me. Questionless,
we're in for a fight for our lives in
our very first game. The team and
coaches say that they are going in to
win on that same issue of "FIGHT."
What's going to be your attitude?
The players have worked hard and
faithfully; so have the coaches. The
team has learned much football and
has made splendid progress within
three weeks. And now remains that
we make sure that they are imbued
with the real simon pure, 2-1 carat
fighting spirit—that they are ready
to the minute, mentally as well as
physically, for the "knock down and
drag out" of the game. They must
have and show the good old 1'L'NCH,
and YOl' must give it to them.
Whatever else may befall, dear
make sure that our team

higher with the superstructure or not.

Attention. Freshmen.
Some of you Freshmen footballers
i are getting out regularly nad some of
| you aren't. Over 100 of you have had
ball playing experience before enter-
i ing Rice, said so yourselves in your
• entrance applications. Some 50 of you
j have applied for uniforms. How come
j no mor( ?
j Of those 50 about one-half only are
I reporting daily on the field. What's
! matter? Come and see me about it
at once; must find out what's in your
way; want to help remove the diffi-
culty, must get you out—MUST! No
delay, no procrastination. You want
a good team, not only now but next
year also. Well, it takes work right
from the jump. I want to help you

ported that a couple of
prominent prep schools of
will be played.
Unless all of the football Slimes re-
port. to the lectures and practices
daily, Nicholson will have quite a job
on his hands in building up aformtda-
lile team. There is enough football
material ill the Freshmen class to
give the school the best Slime team
the school has ever had.

Pre-Meds To Meet
For Organization
with your studies, but I want you to
help Rice football too. I want to get
personally acquanited with every one
of you; no formality, no letter of in-
troduction needed. Better come and
hunt me up before I go hunting you.
Snap into it! We're alive and awake
here—neither dead nor sleeping.
Remember, you and I are Freshmen
together. Water's fine—come on in
with me, so you'll have the right and
the privilege of saying "This is the
life!" HURRY!
Real Spirit Already.
Just can't close without expressing
my profound gratification at the way
the non-athletic students who eat at
the commons responded to my very
first call for help for the football
squad. I asked for volunteers to take
turns waiting on the tables the even-
ing meals of certain evenings, so the
regular waiters of the squad would
not have to quit practice so early.
What-do you guess ? Glory be! Every
hand in the whole bunch of 300 went
up Instanter! Oh! That's bully, fel-
lows! With such a spirit we're just
bound to go right on up the mountain
side. That put pep into the team and
the coaches. We'll try to pay you for
it Saturday.

Stage Set.
(Continued from Pag* 1)
Rice will need the whole-hearted
support of every student in Saturday**
opening game a* wall a* the moral
backing of alumni and town aupport-
ers. The student body ha* been
coached in mas* cheering under How-
ard Eiser and is in good enough con-
dition to give Rice'* fifty-piece band
plenty of competition when the noi*e
breaks loose.
The Sam Houston team will not be
without support, for the Normalitea
have convinced themselves that this is
their red letter year, and will send
down a large number of rooters aa
well as the band.
Last season, Rice barely managed
to eke out a victory over the Sam
Houston Normal club, and found the
sledding hard. Sam Houston has nine
of the eleven men who gave the Owls
such aifun last season, and will be ex-
ceedingly anxious to put one by Rice
this season, needless to say.
The game will start promptly at
3:30 at Rice Field. Freshmen, take
Some'of the pre-medical students of ■
the Institute are planning the forma-
tion of a Rice Pre-Med society.
Several years ago such a society i
was active heivw^Sut for some reason
it "was disbanded. Believing that such
an organization serves a very good i
purpose, interest is being aroused in
t hi' re-organization of the society. It
is to serve the Pre-Meds in much the ;
isanvt? way as the Engineering society j
-erves the "hairy-eared" group.
All Pre-Med students, upperclass-
men and Freshmen interested in such ,
an organization are requested to meet |
Tuesday at 12:30 in room 105, A. B., j
to select a date for meeting arid per
feet other plans for organization.
