A third IllinoU athletic star U add-
•4 to the Rich ooaehin* •toff.
He to none other then Marvin
Durrenberger, new aaaiatont to Jack
Meagher, head football coach.
Although Marvin hail* frqjn Elgin.
Illinois, he came all the way to Texaa
tt>' do his iport starring. At St. Ed-
wards University, Durrenberger shone
brilliantly at end throughout the sea-
sons of '28, '24, *25, and '26.
In '20, this stocky 175-pounder was
hailed the length and breadth of the
state as the greatest Texas wingman
of the year. And don't forget, one
"Bags" Matthews was strutting his
stuff at the same time.
Welcome, Mr. Durrenberger. We're
betting on you.
Spring Football
Teams that bud in the spring some-
time blossom in the fall.
Which is just another way of saying
that Jack Meagher and his corps of
coaches are doing everything in their
power to get the Rice Owls to "bud-
ding" this spring in a football way.
With some 46 candidates out each
afternoon, the soft-spoken Meagher
is working his heart out at the task
of polishing off the many rough edges
that have cropped up among his re-
cruits. Most good football teams are
built in the spring. Meagher is hearti-
ly convinced of the fact.
Rice may not have a world-beater
next year, but we make this bet right
now . . . Rice won't be trampled on
by T. I. A. A. elevens as she has in
the past. Jack Meagher will see to
that.
Don't Be Bashful, Boys
Come out, fellows, and let Jack
Meagher and his assistants show you
what football assets you have. You
may be a star. You never know till
you try.
"Pug" Daugherity, "Peanuts"
Schultz, and Marvin Durrenberger are
all eager to impart to you the wily
pigskin lore they have acquired over
many hard fought campaigns in big-
time football. Give 'em a chance.
Gene Who 7
No, it's not Gene Tunney. It's just
our smiling friend, genial Gene Bailey,
coach of Rice's '29 baseball team.
Gend is a wise old bird. He knows
the professional game from, top to
bottom. For many years he was a
Texas League topnotcher. Than he
tfent to the Brooklyn club of the Na-
tional League, where he flashed his
fbrm for Uncle Wilbert Robinsolt's
Robins for three seasons.
Gene has played every position on
a baseball team. He has devoted the
best part of his life to baseball and
finds no reason to regret his choice.
And recently he spoke just about
the wisest words we ever heard a
coach, utter. One of Gene's crack hit-
ters had just sauntered up to the plat-
ter.
"You see that fellow," said Gene,
"well, he's got about as much firm in
hitting as a windmill. He swings from
anywhere and everywhere. But watch
him drive the ball."
We did. The gentleman in question
literally lifted the cover off the ball.
"Change his style?" snorted Gene.
"I should say not. Not as long as
he hits-like that."
Gene knows what thousands of pro-
fessional ball players know . . . that
changing the form of a heavy hitter,
or a skillful fielder, when he hi putting
his stuff over, often proves fatal.
About McCarthy
McCarthy, one of the ranking mem
bers of. Coach Ed Beckenbach's Rice
tennis squad, is lost for the year to
the Owl net cause.
He was operated on for appendi
citis during the Christmas holidays,
and though able to get out on the
courts occasionally now, he will be
unable to partake of the fast South
west Conference competition in '29.
This leaves Captain Morris Appell,
Jake Hess, Schwartz, Black, Prude,
and Logan to carry on.
By the way, Johnny Logan looks
like the well known "berries." He has
come on with a rush during the past
few weeks, and will give those of Owl
tennis stars a battle for their posi-
tions in the lineup.

Iowa State
Monday afternoon at 8 p. m. Gene
Bailey's diamond wiiards try their
hand at repulsing the Iowa State nine.
The game will be the first of a two
game series, the second game of which
will be played Tuesday at the same
time.
Cecil Keith and Phil Abies will more
-than likely work the initial tilt. Tom-
my Henderson, Paul Smith, and
"Buck" Buchols, will take the firing
line in the second setto.
Keith and Abies LmJc Good
in First Gum of
In fine fettle after their convinc-
ing 6 to 8 triumph over "Pop" Han-
berry's Houston Light and Power
nine last Tuesday, Coach Gene Bailey's
Rice Owl team now looks forward
eagerly to their two-game series here
next Monday and Tuesday with the
visiting Iowa State University nine.
Bailey's boys flashed plenty of
form in trouncing the Powermen in
their first diamond tiff of the year,
and give promise of developing into
a formidable outfit.
Cecil Keith, lean southpaw of the
Blue and Gray, turned in the most
notabje performance of the afternoon.
Hurling the last four innings in near
midseason form, Keith went on to
whiff five of the amateur sluggers
and give up but two safe bingles.
"Did-le" Abies had plenty of stuff
in the five innings that he breezed the
old apple down the alley. Abies was
touched for but four hits, and but for
two unfortunate errors, would not
have been scored upon.
' Rice chalked up a counter at the
very start of the game. Dickinson
beat out a slow roller, Aleo lined a
vicious single to center field, and
while Joe Knipple was hitting into
a double play, Dickinson went to
third and ambled home a moment
later when "Lefty" Graham muffed
Allnoch's grounder.
1$ was but the first of a long line
of Owl tallies. Hanberry's scrappers
came back in the second inning to
push over a run, and followed it up
with two more in the third. Rice tal-
lied twice in the third inning also, and
in their half of the eighth, counted
three times to sew up the old ball
game on some terrific clouting on the
part of Captain Danny Allnoch, who
drove out a three bagger, and Big Joe j
Knipple, who chimed in with a two i
ply smack.

nit Schedule lor '29
Season.
The tennis squad, under the watch-
ful eye of Coach Beckenbach, has
been slowly rounding into shape for
the past month and now with the
opening of the conference season only
about three weeks distant the players
are finally getting on to their games.
The squad, which now comprises Mor-
ris Appell, Jake Hess, Johnny Logan,
Gordon Black, Norman Schwartz and
Walter Prude, is looking better with
every practice, and with all due mod-
esty expects to end the season no
lower than second place in the Con-
ference. The strong U. of T. team
is, of course, practically conceded the
top position, but the Owls are de-
termined to offer them absolutely no
co-operation in making their claim
good on the courts. Unexpected up-
sets, as everyone knows who has fol-
lowed the game, are what make tennis
the great sport it is.
Coach Beckenbach has released the
teams schedule for publication. The
arrangements call for trips to S. $1.
U., Oklahoma, T. C. U., A. & M., and
Texas. The schedule in detail fol-
lows:
Grinnell—March 28—at Rice.
Drake—April 6 and 8—Rice.
Baylor—April 11—Baylor.
S. M. U.—April 13—S. M. U.
Oklahoma—April 15—Oklahoma.
T. C. U.—April 20 Rice.
A. & M.—April 29—A. & M.
Texas—May 4—Texas.
M
Charlie Aleo's steady hitting fea-
tured the game. The mite second
sacker of the Owls came through with
two safe bingles, while his work in
the field was above reproach.
Rice opens her conference season
next Friday and SatiA-day at A. and
M. with a two-game series with Coach
Bob Countryman's Texas Aggies. The
season is but one week off, and the
performance of Bailey's men in the
Iowa State series will be watched with
much interest.

Logs of Stock Shots Races
Nelson Greer and Jesse Willis, who
represented Rice at the games held
Saturday at the Fat Stock Show at
Ft. Worth, returned the next day and
brought with them a Fat Stock Show
prize. Greer made the half-mile in
two minutes and one-tenth seconds,
establishing a new record for these
games. Willis entered the mile run
and ended in third place behind Faulk-
ner of Oklahoma and a frosh team-
mate, who tied for first. The time
for this event was 4:37H. It is in-
teresting to note here that Faulkner
was Missouri Valley Conference cham-
pion last year for the mile run. Ac-
cording to Greer and Willis, the run-
ners were handicapped by a soft track
and Bquare, instead of rounded, cor-
ners.
It is a matter of great distress to
Coach Hjertberg that Greer will not
be available for the track team this
year, as he would be a sure winner
in the quarter mile and a most valua-
ble man on the mile relay team. He
is training regularly, however, for
the National and Southern A. A. U.
Games which are to be held towards
the close of the season.
"This is thy negligence: still thou
mistakest, or else commit'st thy
knaveries wilfully," for Oberon could
weill have been addressing the sen-
iors. Such a sight as Autry House
Saturday night was either negligence
or wilful knavery.
Imagine eight disinterested couples
with three extra stags playing "tag,
you're it," and a few chaperones nod-
ding in the comer to the uninspired
music of Lee's Owls. You have a pic-
ture no artist could paint, but a pic-
ture which will be hard to erase from
the memories of the dance committee.
But girls must rate and boys muBt
date, so the University Club coffers
overflow while the senior funds sink
beneath the tide. By rating, it seems
that the inevitable crop of precocious
high school youngsters are to be con-
sidered before time the honored tradi-
tions of one's school, for University
Club dances draw largely on a high
school personnel.
Evidently, the Institute seniors will
be doing without the customary fare-
well banquet this year and the Uni-
veraity Club will refurnish the ladies'
lounge, unless the Saturday night
shekels start pouring, in more con-
spicuously.

The most beautiful of all human relationships are based on CONFIDENCE.
Love is based on confidence, friendship is based on confidence, happy mar-
riages are based on confidence; and so, confidence, is the highest aim si
business institution can achieve, because it introduces into the processes
of buying and selling something of the unselfish quality of those sacred
human relationships that are untouched and uncontaminated by money.
Munn's never wants toJje guilty of such bad taste as to claim perfection,
but it makes no secret of its ambition to foster and deserve at all times
the confidence of its customers.

TO BE BELIEVED IN!
Mild\ yes? but there's no
Scotch in the flavor!
A well known golf pro recently returned from
• vacation in Glasgow, his home town, relates
ft current golf magazine. "Well," he was asked,
"howdid the boys treat you back home?" "Verra
reluctantly!" said he. Well might some smokers
likewise reply if asked about their cigarette, we
imagine. Mild, of course (most cigarettes are,
today), but "verra reluctant" when it comes to
delivering taste and body and character.
Chesterfields, were blended to supply just that
"body"which so many "mild" cigarettes lack.
For inadditionto that desirable blandness there
is a distinct "edge" to its smooth, mellow flavor
which is just what the smoke appetite craves.
Mild—yes; just that mildness which everyone
wants—but something more, something plus-
character! The character that makes Chester*
fields par for cigarettes. They satisfy t
