TEN PLAYERS ON GIRLS' BASKET SQUAD THAT MEETS S. E. CHRISTIAN TONIGHT
that aha "like* volleyball beat"
ETOILE (ATE) BARKER: Ouard.
Ate gathered together her knowledge
of the art of basketball while playing
with amateur team* at the Y. W. C
A. back there in the good ole high
school days.
So right here are 10 good reasons
why Coach Ella Johnson thinks Rice's
girls' team is "not so bad"—"not so
bad". Certainly they are not the
least bit superstitious, because for a
while there was some talk of having
numbers, but when all the girls clam-
ored for No. 13, this hope was aban-
doned. Yeaaaaaa Team!
Championship Track Team
Training To Retain Title

Frogs First Opponents, on April 2
With thirty-seven men pounding the oval daily, Coach Ernie Hjertberg's
conference championship Blue and Gray track team has begun plans for the
defense of their title in earnest this week. Everything else is secondary to
these youngsters and their veteran coach as they go about the task of develop-
ing into the strongest and best all-round track team in history of the Southwest.
Coach Ernie Hjertberg has called a
meeting of nil freshmen truck men for the track team reporting to the sil-
Saturday at 2:30 p.m. It is very ur- very-haired mentor of the Institute
gent that all slimes attend this meet- i speedsters; Captain "Dick" Baldry, t
ing as a captain for this season will John Coffee, Wendel Ley, Gene Cham-
be elected bers, Dick Jamerson, J. L. Roger*,

[In following it' (l Complete list of
Tonight the Rice girls' basketball
team takes on the South End Chris-
tian sextet. The game should prove
to be a thriller as the Rioe girls are
smarting after their first defeat of the
season at the hands of the Junior col-
lege combination and will be primed
for u win.
Next Friday night the Rice team
tangles with the Junior college Cou-
gars in a return game. The teams met
once before with the Cougars stepping
away with the long end of a 25-19
score, and the Rice sextet is seeking
revenge for that scalping. Arrange-
ments are being made for a game
with the Jeff Davis alumnae, but as
yet no date has been set. The co-eds
ulso will be entered in the Church
league tournament, the schedule of
which will be announced later.
Here's the dope on Rice's girl bas-
keteers:
MADELENE (CAP) SIMONS: Gen-
ial captain of the team, playa forward
and also does a neat Job of jumping.
Cap says she got her experience at
Bay City high where she lettered all
four years, and served as captain one
year. She played on the Rice team
last year and now has the nice job
of helping Coach Ella Johnson decide
who will get the call to start. If you
see a peculiar gleam in Cap's eye,
don't worry—it's just that ole eye for
the basket. She's got it.
PARA LEE (PETE) INGRAM: For-
ward. Pete hangs around under the
j backboard and has a habit of caging
i baskets regularly, and in general prov-
' ing herself a thorn in the side to
guards—ask Junior college for proof.
I Pete played at San Jacinto, lettered
J at Junior college, played last year with
| the Rice team, and now is enjoying
another successful season.
I SYBILLA (BILL) STILLMAN:
Bill guards and when she guards, they
stay guarded. She hails from San Ja-
cinto also, where she played two years
and enjoyed the luxuries of captain-
ship.
LOUISE (TOO TALL) FRERICHS:
Guard—alias "Humbargar", "Sky-
scraper", etc. Louise "pooshes 'em
up" high in the air and the way she
picks the ball right out of the waiting
hands of enemy forwards is a treat to
behold.
LALLA LEE (TWO POINTS) EH-
LERT: Short but sure forward. The
team has to go to the added expense
of hirng an adding machine to keep
track of all the points whenever Lalla
Lee plays. She played two years at
San Jacinto and also can put "Cap't"
in front of her name.
MIRIAM (MIMI) KNODEL: For-
ward and general "spirits upperlifter"
of the team who, when she can't run
the legs off her guard, keeps up such
a lively chatter that ah* drives her
nuts. Mini played three years at San
Jacinto, was a captain, and then jour-
neyed up to Camp Mystic where she
was awarded the senior basketball
medal.
CHRISTINE ATKINSON: Guard.
Chris is another one of those too-
tellers and plays an aerial game, soar-
ing far above her little forwards to
take the ball right out of their grasp
and into that of her teammates'. Chris
is an old-timer too, having played last
year on the Rice team.
GLADYS SCHJLL: A mite but
mighty guard, who covers the floor in
grand fashion. Gladys came to Rice
from St. Agnes, where she gained her
basketball experience.
MARGUERITE (DITTO) HEINZE:
Plays guard or forward equally as
well. (Versatile, eh?) Ditto played
one year at San Jacinto, but owns up

RKO MAJESTIC—"Lady with a
Past", featuring Constance Bennett,
depicts a girl who talks
about books, when you
should talk about most
anything else, or not
talk at all. She Anally
decides to hire a "gi-
gola" to help her into
a little scandal. This
plan works fine until
the "helper" almost
oversteps the idea.
Anyway the plot is
jam full of laughs and
thrills. Ben Lyon as the "hired
gigola" gives a fine performance and
David Manners as iho lover is excel-
lent.
I.OEW'S One of the most unusual
pictures ever filmed is Tod Brown-
ing's "Freaks" which comes to Loew's
State theater today for a week's run
It is a story of weird romance be-
twi'cp an adult rep-foot high
midget and a full grown woman
Olgu Baelanova, Harry Earles, Liela
Hymns. Edward Brophy, Rojcoe Ates,
. the Hilton Sisters, and ValhCe Ford,
have leading roles. The odd romance
between Earles and Baelanova is
drawn in sharp contrast with that of
Ford and Hymns,

, "No One Man", Paramount feature at
the Kir by theater this week, follows
I the purport of the original Rupert
' Hughes' novel that "no one man is
sufficient to satisfy and occupy the
heart of the average woman."
In conclusion, however, "Nep",
; Carole Lombard, insatiable huntress,
appears to have been tamed, for the
! duration of the climax at least.
MET—"Union Depot", First National
and Vitaphone production starring
1 Douglas Fairbanks Jr., at the Met
I theater now, is result of the collabor-
ation of seven distinguished figures of
the literary and dramatic world.
The original play is the work of
Gene Fowler, Joe Laurie Jr., and j
Douglas Durkin. Mr. Fowler, until
recently a newspaperman, is the au-
thor of "Trumpet in the Dust" and
other novels, and of several biog-
raphies, the latest of which is "The
Great Mouthpiece." .Joe Laurie Jr. is
a Broadway comedian who for years
did a column for "Variety". Mr. Dur-
kin has written extensively for stage
and screen.
The horticulturists sometimes name
new orchids after the President, but
it is safe predicting no one will name
a new violet after Clara Bow.

Keeping ahead
of the second hand
Copr., 1932, The
American Tubtcco Co.
To keep telephone service in step with the
•■wift pace of American life, Bell System men
tackle many an absorbing problem, find many
an ingenious solution.
For instance, they decided that pre-
cious seconds could be saved by a change in
long-established operating routine. The
operator used to repeat the number called
I >v the subscriber — now she indicates that
she understands by saying, "Thank you."
To appreciate the importance of the
second thus saved, just multiply it by the
411,000,(100 conversations handled by oper-
ators on the average day.
In the telephone business, major improve-
ments that save the subscriber's time and
give him better service often result from just
such apparently minor changes.
