owls EXPECT To WIN
FROM |. s. j. TIGERS

HOUSTON, Nov. 5.-The Rice
Owls will leave Thursday night for
Baton Rouge, La. where they will
encounter the l.. $. l.. Tigers Sat
urday.
The Owl reserves have been work
ing the i. S. L. plays for the past
few days and Coach Heisman feels
certain that his charges are equal TO
anything that Mike Donohuc, the
Tiger coach, can produce. The two
coaches have been battling each other
for several years.
l.. S. L. defeated Rice last year
but the indications are that the Owls
will return TO Houston victorious. The
Rice gridSters have shown n marked
development since defeating the
Porkcrs Il couple of weeks ago. This
latter team defeated l.. $. l.. last
week and so Rice followers take it
as an indication that the Owls arc
capable of putting over win.
During the past two weeks the
Institute mentor has been concentrate
ing his efforts on training substitutes
and has developed several men whom
he can rely on to display some real
football ability.
The Hcismen team probably will
enter the affray dressed in their short
knickers. These knickers fasten
above the knee and give the player
more freedom. The knees are protect
| ed by pads.

When soccer football began to take
good hold in this country, there were
few men who. knowing its merits.
took the self-imposed task of organic
ing it so that its development might
be in the right line. The first big step
was the formation of the United
States Football Association which is
the governing body of the clubs in
this country. This organization con-
ducts cup tie competition and reg
listers amateur and professional play
ers.
The recent development of the sport,
however. has not been under the
auspices of the governing body.
For years there has been a strong
professional league in st. Louis. Mo-,
where the game has attained a high
standard because Of the revenue de-
rived from a public which has hand
somely supported the teams.
Four years ago. the American Soc

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-R)-The

Opportunities are widening for the
amateur stars to capitalize their prov-

Many of this falls stars probably
will be offered lucrative professional
berths when they close their college
careers, with Red" Grange likely TO
be the most sOught-after of all.
The attractions of professionalism
have cut heavily into the ranks of
women swimming stars. The leading
mermaids of Americas last two Olym-
pic teams now have forsaken anna

Rigsin and Gertrude Ederle this week
to occupy posts as instructors in Flor

steps of Ethelda Bliebtrey and Helen
Wainwright.
Golf reflects similar signs Of times.

marked. Bobby Jones, twO-time anna

DALLAS, Nov. 5.-R)-Two arm
ed bandits whose descriptions tally
with those who robbed motorists in
the same vicinity Tuesday night, held
up two filling stations in suburb
here last night and escaped with $40.
The proprietor of one station was
robbed of $35 Mt the point of pistol.
A total of $14 was obtained by two
robbers from two men who were at
tthe second oil station. Turning their
attention to the owner, the robbers
demanded he open the safe. but he
refused, declaring they might shoot
him first. The bandits declined, say
ing there probably was not enough
in the safe to justify shooting a man.

bObCA IS PLAY
+ FIRST GAME
At HOME

SAN MARCOS. Nov. 5.-The Bob
cats of the Southwest Texas Teachers
College play their first game of tho
day against st. Edwards University
of Austin. The first four games were
played away from home, three of them
against T. j. A. A. opponents who
are ranking high to date in the asso-
citation. and who have the best teams
in their history: namely. Commerce
Normal. Howard Payne and Trinity.
The Bobcats have had two weeks
rest since the Trinity game. and the
time has been well spent in correcting
their faults of the first half season Of
play. On Friday they no doubt will
have a more finished team on the field
than has appeared so far.
1t was necessary at the start 10
build almost an entirely new team as
there were but four of last years let
termen and one of tine preceding year
left over. Two of these men, Daley
and Vance. are playing their third
year. and the other three. Darby. Will
lis and Kallina, are playing their sec
ond year. With the exception of Nc
Call. all the other men on the squad
had never played in a collegiate game.
Lack of leadership and the proper
fighting spirit have been the chief
shortcomings of the team so far. and
it is the frame OF mind and not the
physical side that is worrying the
coaches most for the st. Edwards
game of Friday.
The probable lineup reads as fol,
lows:
Daley. left end: Kuydcndall. left
tackle: Kallina or Darby. left guard ::
Biggs or c. Stevens. center: Brite or
Arnold. right guard; Vance or FL.
Stevens. right tackle; Lowman. right
