Three conference games are sched-
uled this week with Baylor the only
team without conference opposition.
Rice takes on The Texas Aggies with
revenge in their hearts because of the
plastering A. and M. handed to the
Owls last yeai-. S. M. U. takes on
Arkansas in fourth place in the con-
ference behind Rice, Texas, and the
Ponies. Texas and T, C. U. also have
a little matter to Settle from last year.
Baylor tangles with the bothersome
Centenary Gentlemen. This is the
fourth game the Gents have played
with Southwest Conference teams.
The guesses on this weeks games in-
dicate that there should be a pretty
fair amount of scoring, Last week this
writer picked all winners but some of
the scores Were off a little, particular-
ly the Rice score. We thought it
would be larger than it was. The best
guess was on the S, M. U.-A. and M.
game. We predicted the score would
be 27-0 and it was 28-0. Here they
are:

Centenary 20, Baylor 8.
Rice is picked to beat the Aggies by
the same number of touchdowns that
the Mustangs beat them, because the
Farmers should be harder to beat at
Kyle Field than if they were playing
the game in Houston. We understand
that the playing field at College Sta-
tion is practically all sand. That might
also slow up the Owls a trifle.
S. M. U. is in for a real struggle
with the Razorbacks, but we believe
they should win because of their pass-
ing attack. That hefty Porker line will
probably stop the Pony running attack
dead. T. C. U. is much better now
than they were at the beginning of the
season, but we believe that the Steers
are the best team. Billiard is about
ready to really hit the top speed for
practically the first time this season.
The hapless Baylor Bears, practi-
cally weaponless except for their pass-
ing will probably take it on the chin
again and give Centenary its third
win over conference teams. Centenary
took Texas, although we think the lat-
ter is the strongest team, and therefore
cannot possibly figure to lose to the
Bruins. Texas whipped the Bears ears
down 25-6 last Saturday.
Hughes Couldn't Remember
Last Saturday the morning papers
praised the work of Arthur Hughes,
big freshman tackle, in his work
against the A. and M. freshmen Friday
afternoon. It happened that Hughes
received a blow on the head in the
early part of the game and could not
remember a thing about the game af-
terwards. He played through the game
in that condition, playing fine football
without anyone knowing he was hurt.
He could not even remember the score,
but he finally memorized the score on
the way home. Over and over he
said, "What was the score." We have
read about things like that happening,
but it is the first time we have seen
it occur. Hughes mind was a perfect
blank, as he could not even remember
the kickoff.
Fit* is Track Star
Orville Fitz, Rice freshman tackle,
should bo a help to the Rice track
team next year as a weight man. Fitz
is proficient in the shot put, discus,
and javelin, holding several class B

track ability, he is also a fine amateur
boxer. Fitz has fought some seventy
odd fights and has lost only four of
them, Which is quite a record. He is
one of the best amateurs in the state.
He should be quite an aid to the Owls.
Bale Given All-American Mention
Melber* "Red" Bale received an All-
America card of merit last week. These
cards are given by the AU-American
football board. The fiery Rice guard
is the third Owl star to receive this
mention, Bill Wallace and John Mc-
Cauley having previously been select-
ed. These cards mean that the play-
ers to whom they are granted will be
watched for the rest of the season and
will lie considered when the time to
pick the "official" All-America team
rolls around. Ninety players in the
United States are given these cards,
and the team is picked from among
ihem. This is the first season such a
system has been used. It seems to us
to be a very fair method. Sport scribes'
over the country make the recom-
mendations necessary to receive the
cards of merit! ~ "
Morrison to Vanderbilt?
It has been stated or rather sug-
gested from various 'sources that Ray
Morrison, now head coach at S. M. U.
will coach at Vanderbilt in 1935. Mor-
rison is a graduate of Vanderbilt and
coached the Conunodores as a substi-
tute during the war while Dan Mc-
Gugin was in France. McGugin, who
has enjoyed onq of the longest coach-
ing regimes in the history of football,
is resigning after this season, and
Morrison will probably come in for
much consideration for the post be-
cause of his fine record with the
Ponies. Morrison was named on the
All-Amcrican football coaching staff
j this year as passing coach.
Morrison just laughs when the sub-
| ject of a change is brought up and
| says that he has not even been ap-
| proachcd. It is reported that he would
| take a contract at the head of the
1 Commodores for a smaller salary than
| he is now receiving if he would be
j given a raise if the Vandy team show-
1 ed an improved brand of football.
Personally we would hate to see
Morrison leave the Southwest Cor.ft r-
I once. S" M. U. now has a fine coao'.i-
| ing arrangement, with Morrison coach •
j ing the backfield and Matty Bell tutor-
I ing the line. Matty Bell is one of the
best line coaches in the conference.
Morrison's live year contract at S. M
U. expires at the end of this season.

METROPOLITAN
"Lady by Choice," co-featuring
Carole Lombard and May Robson, with
Walter Connolly and Roger Pryor in
support, heads the new program open-
ing Thursday at the Metropolitan with
new orchestra specialties.
This new Columbia film presents
Miss Lombard in the role of p gorge-
ous young fan dancer and Miss Rob-
son as a derelict gin-hound who spends
most of her spare' time before the bar
—facing a judge. The film tells the
story of two women, far different in
appearance and station, but really
sisters under the skin. When Miss
Robson, as Patsy) Patterson, is ar-
rested lor assaul;..- and battery, being
drunk and disorderly and disturbing
the peace, she is given, a suspended
sentence on condition that she go to
the old ladies' home. In court at the
same time is Alabam, the fan dancer,
arrested for whatever fan dancers are
arrested. She sees and feels sorry for
the aged derelict. Some time later, as
a publicity stunt, Alabam decides to
adopt a "mother" and it is Patsy whom
she selects. The picture's climax is
said to be filled with heightened
drama and pleasant surprises.
Walter Connolly enacts the role of
the police court judge who, with Miss
Robson, interferes in the business and
love affairs of the fan dancer. Others
in the cast include Arthur Hohl and
Raymond Walburn.
The film was adapted from a screen
play by Jo Swerliug.

LOEW'S
Out of the tense drama of the court-
room, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stu- j
dios have brought the powerful story j
of "Evelyn Prentice," co-starring Wil-
liam Powell and Myrna Loy, which
opens Thursday at the Loew's State
TTieatre.
The picture marks the third appear-
ance of Powell and Miss Loy as a co-
starring team and is the industry's re-
sponse to the public's demand for a
reappearance of the popular pair who
made screen history in "Manhattan
Melodrama" and "The Thin Man."
"Evelyn Prentice" presents Powell
as a noted criminal attorney with a
lovely and dutiful wife who, through
a momentary indiscretion, becomes in-
volved in a scandalous murder case.
The wife, portrayed by Miss Loy,
sees another woman brought to trial
for a crime that she, herself, believes
she has committed. She and the "other
woman" both win vindication, through

attorney, in one df the roost speetacu-

THERE are two reasons why Prince Albert is called ''The

this excellent blend is treated by a special process which
