With both squads labeled by experts and fans as “questionable factors” in the na-al football puzzle, Trojan and Rice gridders will square off on opposite chalk stripes the coliseum turf tomorrow afternoon in the coast’s biggest intersectional game. Kicktime is 2:30.

Although the Rice footballers have already had the door slammed on a possible un-ten season, their defeat by a rampaging Louisiana State eleven last week, 14 to 21, not the type of reversal which can count them out of the running. LSU ranks only ut a football's length behind the Irish of Notre Dame and it wasn’t until the last four utes of play that the payoff touchdown was scored by the Bengals.

Rally Leaders Draft Plans to Rock Bovard As Pre-Rice Clash Enthusiasm Hits Peak
★ ★★★★★ ★ ★ ★ ★ j Have Pride in Team — Nash
“When you are up in the stands cheering, remember you are cheering 59 years of Trojan football.” Dick Nash, director of the athletic news service, told a large audience last night at the YMCA smoker.
“You can be justly proud of Trojan football tradition. The men on the field are playing not only for themselves but for all the preceding Trojan football teams.** he added after giving the highlights of SC football history.
Mr. Nash said the first Trojan team was unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon—in two games against the same team. The coach had seen one football game in the east and played on the team when he was needed. Before the season started the coach sent
east for a rule book so he could learn something of the game.
He pointed out that Howard Jones is symbolic of Trojan football. just as Knute Rockne is Notre Dame’s football idol.
The two most exciting games in Trojan history, he said, were the 1932 Notre Dame-SC game in which Troy eked out a 16-14 win, and the 1939 Rose Bowl game in which SC downed Duke. 7 to 3, with a touchdown in the last minute of play.
Roy Engle, backfield coach, who scouted the Rice-LSU game, told the gathering in the Student Union lounge that Rice “looked-great even in losing the game. The Owls scored two touchdowns in the first half, all of the yardage being gained on the ground
with the exception of a single completed pass "A team hts to be good to do that.”
Men in the audience bombarded the panel speaker*, with questions after Engle bad addressed the group. One of the questions, “Do midwest referees eem more lax?” prompted Engle to answer:
“On the basi? of pictures of last year's SC-Notre Dame game, I would say referee*? in the mid-west are more lax than Pacific coast offiicals.”
When asked if he thought SC teams played overly rough, Engle replied. “Coach Jeff Cravath doesn’t want anything illegal, and he will pull out anyone who he thinks is not playing square.”
Student Talent Set To Replace Guests
Bovard auditorium will resound to the cadenced yell* and songs of Trojans and their praise for Jeff Cravath’s grid team tonight when SC rooters meet in the pre-Rice-game rally slated to start at 7:30.

TIP-TOP OWLS Tomorrow’s gridfest should clear up some of the fog around the future chances of both elevens.,
Neely brings his Owls up to the game in tip-top shape. Rice stock soared with the announcement that Carl Russ, fullback and leading ground gainer in the Southwest conference last season, would be suited up and headed for scoring territory every time he finds a hole. Russ plowed through opponents last year for 690 yards in 130 tries, an average of better than 5 yards.
STOP IRE Troy men on defense will be racking their collective “guessing ability” to fathom offensive plays called by balding, all-around-grid-general Ike Eikenberg, quarterback who sets the Owl T into motion with the smoothness of a professional. Big Ike, carrying the frame of a fullback— stretching 6 feet 2 inches and weighing 202 pounds—is a backfield paradox who runs like a shifty halfback. He and Russ are the twin factors that have many experts tabbing Rice to xnock off the Card and Gold cause before the season is 24 hours older.
At halfbacks the Texans will be shooting with scatbacks Don Anderson and George Walmsley, an open-field double threat who eat up yardage on end sweeps. Anderson (Continued on Page Three)

YELL KING ON HAND
Chrys Chrys, yell king, will be on hand to present several new yells and to lead the rooters in the old standbys.
According to Chrys the gridiron action tomorrow should afford more opportunity for the yell leaders to exhibit their prowess. “Tne teams last Saturday seemed to play without time-outs and did not give a chance for us to give any long organized yells such as the “Double T.” We were restricted to short impromptu yells and could not work in any of the better stunts,” said Chrys.
TIREBITER HAS PART
Since the Student Senate tabled the proposal to accept Tirebiter as SC’s official mascot. George will serve in unofficial capacity at the SC-Rice fracas. The tirebiting air dale cavorted on the turf last Saturday and received quite a cheer from the rooting section. George will take an even larger part in activities planned for tomorrow. “As I said in Wednesday’s senate meeting, Td like to hear student opinion on making our mascot a golden Palomino horse,” Chrys said.
Students are reminded to bring the magaphones passed out at last week’s game. “Those personal megaphones doubled the noise against WSC and I hope the rooters will not forget to bring them tomorrow,* the yell king said.
Men must wear white shirts and rooters caps and women should come equipped with pom poms if they desire admission to the SC-Rice game, according to Chrys.
