RICE PLANNING
GRID CLORIES
Conference Door a t
To Take Definite
Steps

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 5.-(P1-J.
T. McCants, bursar and member of
the faculty committee on athletics
Of Rice Institute. told alumni at the
homecoming gathering here recently
that definite steps to place Rice foot
ball on a par with that Of other men,
bers of the Southwest conference
would be taken by the faculty at an
early date.
Just what is to be the nature Of
these steps was not revealed. Rice
football has been going from bad to
worse, the season just ended having
seen the Owls fail TO win a confer
ence game and lost contests with
two teams of supposedly inferior
conference. one of them by a top
heavy margin.
Few alumni and followers have
placed the blame for the disastrous
showing on the coaches, all Of whom
are products Of Robert Zuppke,
whose success at the University of
Illinois is we'll known.
Instead most Of them have attrib-
uted il to lack of material, brought
about by an unusually high scholas-
tic standard at the Institute with no
privileges being granted gridders
and by the purported fact that no
effort Is being made to get high
school graduates Of proven football
ability TO enroll in the Houston in
stitution.
Many have gone so far as 20 say
that the Owls Of the near future
should be made worthy ~contenders
for the conference crown or should
step out Of the southwest loop and
become a member of a group where
football is not so fast. Some have
suggested the abandonment of inter
collegiate football.

HOLDS KANSAS
Inventor of Game Is
Still Member of
u. K. Faculty

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 5.-(P)-The
land where the corn belt meets the
wheat belt and where wheat fields
adjoin cotton fields, turns to basket
ball for its premier winter port.
Nagaries or the weather. peculiar
educational conditions and adapta-
Dility Of the sport TO buildings avail
able for indoor play combine to
make basketball the supreme winter
game Of this section, particularly in
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Basketball vas invented by a KAN
san, DIR. James 7. Naismith, who still
IS a member Of the University OF
Kansas faculty, and the gam has "a
firmer grip on the sunflower state,
perhaps. than on any other.
Practice begins in the midst of the
football season and the final tourna-
ments are never completed before
early April.
Kansas and Missouri each have
two score small colleges and u~niver-
sites, and Oklahoma nearly as many.
All have teams and rivalry is in
tense.
Small enrolment is not a handi-
cap, as in football. baseball and 9TH
er sports that require many men
backed by many reserves. There are
always enough players for a basket
ball squad of eight. including three
reserves. Women, too, have teams
at many colleges, while high schools
find so much enthusiasm among girls
that they ran special tourna-
ments for them.
The game is economically possi-
Bile because equipment is not costly.
few expensive trips are taken and
the admission price is low, since
games are played almost nightly.
Expensive gymnasiums are not
necessary, although desired Mt the
larger colleges and universities.
Basketball is played in town halls.
on dance floors, in opera houses and
auditoriums and in Cracker box
gyms. Every town. no matter how
small. has from one to a dozen teams.
A high school squad is always the
pride Of the village. and IN the lar
ger town. there may be an indepen-
dent team or two of old high school
or colleg stars. while college towns
literally swarm with teams. Sunday
schools, too, have basketball lea
CUES.
A ban on football in Kansas City
several years ago, because Of an
unusually large number Of gridiron
casualties, brought the cage game
to the fore here. High schools took
up basketball as an outlet for emo
tions engendered by student loyalty.
Many of the stars at the univer-
sites of Kansas and Missouri were
trained on the high school teams in
Kansas City or its suburbs.

r FORUM
By Bishop Clements

Promoter Tex Becerril of Browns
vile, who staged his second boxing
card last night at Fort Brown, is
being congratulated on the fine pro-
gram he put on. The preliminaries
were good-above par. The main
event was disappointing in that it
showed Jack Morrows no match for
Roberto Hinojosa, as he vas knock
cd out in the first minute of fight
ing in the first round.
This was Hinojosa's first fight.
What kind Of punch has he? What
kind of fighter is he going to be ?
Match him with a proven heavy
weight of ability. These questions
and suggestions may be heard in
boxing circles today.
Our friend. Stockton Fountain, OF
McAllen. writes US as follows:
Il want you TO know that I APP
preciate the splendid account of the
McAllen-San Benito game in the
Herald. Your Sports Forum COM
ment on the game was a hum ding
err
Il had the pleasure Of playing on
the Missouri U. squad for three years
l9l9-under the mighty Bill Roper.
i have been amazed at the high class
of the football teams put out by the
Valley high schools. ] heartily agree
with you that the All-valley team
should not be selected until after
the Observation-Disclosures champion
ship game.
"The McAllen Bulldogs have a won
derful coach in Jim Dykes and they
are, as a team, the model OF clean
craftsmanship. We look forward to
a big game and may the best team
win"
Mr.. Fountain strikes a popular
chord when he comments on the
clean playing Of the McAllen team.

EDUCATION BOARD
PROPOSAL SCORED
Speaker at PetWorth Meeting
CriticizeS Plea for Control
of School Budget.

Creation of an independent oligarchy
would result from permitting the Board
of Education to submit its estimates to
the Bureau of the Budget without the
Commissioners being allowed to pare
them beforehand, Charles I. Stengle
/ declared at meeting of the Petworth
Citizens Association in the Petworth
| School last night.
| His criticism was occaSioned by the
reading of a QUESTIONABLE sent out
| by the School Board, in which the
opinion of citizens was requested on a
proposal to submit all estimates for
school needs to the Commissioners in
the usual manner, the Commissioners
to attach any recommendations or Sug-
gestons they deemed necessary, but to
reSubmit the original estimates to the
Bureau of the Budget.
Mr.. Stengle said this would be a
backward step, leading eventually to
each individual department of the Dis
trict government making its plea for
| whatever appropriations were desired
and creating a useless piece of ma
chinery of the Board of Commissioners.
Yaden Defends Proposal.
James G. Yaden, defending the pro-
with all other District functions, i'm
provement in streets, lights, sewers,
parks and in other matters, but the
schools appear to be losing ground in
appropriations, while the need for ad-
ditional educational facilities Is grow
ing rapidly. It was voted to refer the
matter to the committee on education,
with instructions to consider and report
at the January meeting.
Resolutions presented by Mr.. Yaden
and adopted favor the merging of all
transportation lines in the District. In
dorSement was given to the proposed
bill for a five-year library extension
program, and the library committee
was instructed to cooperate with other
organizations in the community in an
effort to have one of the proposed 13
branch libraries placed in Petworth.
survey to determine the street i'm
provements needed in the section was
decided upon, the chairman of the COM
mittee on streets and parks being in
Structed to cooperate with a like COM
mittee from the Piney Branch Citizens
Association to have Allison street from
Thirteenth to Fourteenth street re-
surfaced. Criticism was heaped upon
the quality of street illumination pre-
vailing in the community, and action

pecially on New Hampshire avenue

Christmas Celebration Omitted.
The association will not have
Christmas tree celebration this year. be-
cause of the refusal of the Office of
public buildings and parks to permit
the use of the large evergreen tree
in Grant Circle to be used for that
purpose. Assurance has been given that
tree would be provided for Sherman
Circle next year, together with other
Stengle urged all citizens to place col
