The OvvIh were us determined a
team Tuesday night as ever took
the court at Gregory Gymnasium. No
horseplay for them, no talking, but
merely the set purpose of whipping
Texas in the Longhorn's own corral.
Honors for the night must go by a
close margin to Levi Craddock, who
outdid himself in leading his young
charges to the conference champion-
ship. Craddock worked hard enough
to help Kinney control the rebound,
besides directing the offense most
of the game, and that is hard work
for a man not overly tall for bas-
ketball.
Kinney Outstanding
Kinney stood out because of the
clear-cut manner in which he out-
played Speedy Houpt, the gangling
lad who almost beat the Owls' sopho-
more- star to death here under the

Carswell has played in only ten
of twelve games, having sat out the
second S. M. U. and A. and M. en-
gagements. His average per game
puts him above Moors in third place,
despite a weak total of 4 points at
Austin.
Fouled Out
The Longhorns lost the conference
championship fouling Bob Kinney.
Both Houpt and Granville went out
trying to stop Brannon's young cen-
ter on close shots from in front.
Coach Gray of Texas attributes the
loss almost directly to the four fouls
that took Chester Granville out af-
ter sixteen minutes of play1, and cer-
tainly the three Houpt had pinned
on him before the spectators were
hardly aware the game was mi,
Selman Slows Moers
Moors turned in a brilliant game,
especially in rallying the Steers for
their last attempt at averting defeat,
but he was well chilled by Selman
in the last half after counting 12
points in the opening twelve minutes.
The Austin papers concentrated upon
the collision between Selman and
Moers near the first half's end, in-
timated that Craddock had grabbed
the Superman's arm and talked fight
very rapidly. In truth, Craddock
only held Moers arm while speak-
ing to him a moment. The Owl cap-
tain was laughing all the while.
What aroused Moers' ire was the con-
stant chatter of the Rice defense
and players on the bench, who dis-
cussed his superhuman abilities and
growing baldness at length.

bling in for the crip shot that gave
Rice a 27-23 advantage, The former
North Sider definitely paced the
third-quarter rally that put his team
back on king row, and made up for
the weak offensive showing of CaraT
well.
Carswell was well covered by
Moers, but his adept ball-handling
was responsible for getting the ball
in to Craddock all night. The Cob
had trouble with his long shot in the
opening half, and abandoned it for
a passing attack that paid off.
Selman Hawks Moers
Bert Selman drew Moers and the
toughest defensive assignment of the
season. The hounding Owl guard
dogged his man for a full forty min-
utes, and only twice did Moors get
in for the front shot he never misses.
Texas' potential All-American scor-
ed half his field goals on long shots—
one from very near mid-court -— and
the Bear ltug slowed him to 4 points
from the floor before the half, and
photographers scurried when it seem-
ed fists would fly, but things quiet-
ed down in a hurry when Referee
Jack jjjiseo took charge.
Both Painter and Pepper were of
infinite value when relief was most
needed. Palmer gave both Carswell
and Gomez an attempt to rest and
survey the field with Brannon. Pep-
per performed well under the strain
while Craddock took a half-period's
respite just when it seemed ho might
go the foul route.
Texas Crushed by Fouls
A total of twenty-two fouls, fif-
teen of which were called in the first
half, hurt Texas imm.-asureably, and
perlnips the greatest factor toward
the Longhorn's loss Was Houpt's ring-
ing up three in the opening minutes,
after which he was miserably .out-
played by Kinney. Nlo'crs definitely
dominated the first twenty minutes
of play, and it was riot until Palmer's
shot just before the gun that Rice
could overcome the lead he staked
his team to before the game was
two minutes old. i
Granville Fouls Out
Granville was lost to: the Steer,
cause after seventeen '-minutes when
he committed his fourth foul at-
tempting to block Kinnry's shot from
the front. With the bulwark of his
defense benched, Coach Jack Gray
had to shift his line-up,' stick Coo ley
in at center, and 'move Houpt over
to the vacated position. The Long-
horns were permanently disabled
thereafter, and the stage' was set
for the Owl rally that netted them
13: points in the first twelve minutes
of the second half.
Texas Take (Juick Lead
Texas: took a-quick lead at 2-0 on
Moers' crip, but it was nip and tuck
to ' 6-0, where the Longhorns pulled
away to ,12-7 and 14-9 on four points
.by their torch-hearer. Palmer replac-
ed Gomez, and Rice tied it again at
16-all before Houpt and Hull moved
ahead once more at 20-16. Then a
front shot ami foul by Kinney made
it possible for Palmer, to give the
Owl.- the lead for the first time at
21-20, After '.Moers and Selman set-
tled, their difference with a free
shot each, Spears scored from the
side just before the, half.
Owls Take 30-25 Lead
Gomez worked the Steer defense
"vei for three goals soon afttg things
were underway again, and Rice led
:'.U-2f> before peers counted from far;
out for the first Texas , goal of the>|
new half. Spears pulled it up to:j
;J0-29, Imt Craddock called a time!
out., and -Carswell, Kinney, and Go-I
iiiez ran the score to 36-2!) with eight:
minutes to play. Cooley was ablej
to tip one m. but Kinney and Selman j
staked tho -Owls' to a 9-point- load a-tj
-10-31.
Texas then ashed for time, and j
apparently inspired by the playing
of "The Kyes of Texas," set. to worki
m desperation. Hull and Cooley made j
2 points each in less than a minute, j
Then the • Itico five moved slowly :
down court, anil Craddock was foul-;
eil by Sutner; he found the basket,
and it Was.,41-35. Hull was in again !
fast for a front shot, but Cooley
fouled Palmer as he tried to stop
the Owl attack. Then Moers whittled
on the 5-poiut deficit with a circus
shot from mid-court, and the Long-
horns trailed at 42-39.
Texas Fans Go Mad
Willi a minute and a half remain-
ing, Moore counted from the side,
and the Texas fans went mad. But
Rice stalled si) well that the oppo-
sition fouled three times in the last
sixty seconds in an attempt to get
the ball at any cost. Selman and
Carswell continued to refuse foul
shots, and with ten second remain-
ing, Carswell got the ball off to
Craddock after Moers had fouled
out. Craddock stalled a moment
whipped the ball to Kinney, who pass-
ed it across the court as the gun
sounded.

May hi approaching, and with It
the annual hraufl over who will be in
the May Fete. As usual it is a hefty
affair between the independents and
the llterarily minded girls. So far,
with the opening guns having been
fired by the candidates for queen, the
lits appear to have put it over on the
independents. Usually it is the inde-
pendents who are solid and the lits
Who are split on their candidates,
This time the lits are solid for
MARYELLEN. The independents are
just as solidly behind BJRATH, but
another independent, RAMIN, has
broken from the ranks, and is run-
ning independent-independent, MISS
RAMIN had a sure shot for princess
with organization support, but pre-
fers to run for queen on her own.
More l'un will come later when the
princesses start campaigning.
Seen on the campus, MOOSE
"BIRDMAN" SAUNDERS, which
revives fond memories of yesteryear,
and POTTER, and stuff.
Quite a time was had by ull who
went to Austin to see the game. Many
wore so excited that they forgot to
stay in Austin overnight and came
home. Quite conspicuous were PJNKY
LaGRONE, JOE KOPKCKY, and OX
COLLEY. Loudest yeller at the game
was GEORGE SHOULTZ, who wore
his sweater for all of the Texans to
sec, and made authoritative, state-
ments on the strength of the sweater.
Quickest recovery was made by j
COLLEY, who recovered sufficiently
to win a basketball game Wednesday,
