ors without the services of Cap-
tain Ike Steakley, face the in-
vading Arkansas Razorbacks
here Monday and Tuesday nights
in a two-game series they must
sweep in order to overtake
Texas' league-leading Long-
horns.
Still fast in second place after
Baylor's virtual elimination at the
hands of the Longhorn's last week,
Rice needs a double victory to be as-
sured a shot at the conference title
in the season finale at Austin on Feb-

Among other results which can be
calculated from this graph, it is pos-
sible to estimate the temperature of
the corona from the shape of the
curve.
In the Chisos Mountains, 95 per
cent of the sun will be covered, leav-
ing only a round black shadow sur-
rounded by the flaming corona. In
Houston the eclipse will also be seen,
about 00 or 70 per cent of the sun
being covered.

Presence of Ladies Stagger Ncoly
(,'oncli Xeely was given a terrific
ovation as he was introduced. He
admitted that he was thrown off his
usual speech-making stride by the
presence of ladies and so would liaye
to continue 'without the benefit of his
u>ual opening joke. Echoing Morgan's
desire to meet all the students, Ncely
inged them to call on him any time
he could be of assistance.

Calls Whitlow Fine Leader
Xeely called Captain Ken Whitlow
"a fine leader, anxious to have n good
team," and thtf squad, "as n'iCc a
looking bunch of boys as I ever had
at, t'lemson." lie declared that mas-
tery of the fundamentals is essential
to a football team and expressed the
belief that with good blocking even
Grigg could run with the ball.
Whitlow was the last, scheduled
speaker, but popular acclaim brought
"lifindsome" Arthur Goforth to the
front. Goforth expressed the hopes of
all Kiee supporters when he said: "A
hundred odd years ago a man came
from Tennessee nnd made a power
out of Texas; today a man has come
Hrannon will probably substitute
Palmer and Gomez constantly in an
.attempt tn make up for height dis-
advantage by giving everyone but
Kinney their chance at a few moments
i:,e.fit although the youthful mentor is
left with only one top-flight substi-
tute. In tlii emergency, Zander and
Pepper will be sent in for their more
experienced teammates. The Razor-
backs have shown a tendency in earli-
er games toward poor conditioning,
jind a 75 -mile trip is not going to
improve their chances. Kinney will
once again have his work cut out for
him, beetlUse controlling Feiberger
and the rebound is going to mean eon-
trolling Arkansas.
