to take advantage of the chances of
the game as were the Farmer players.
The bright particular stars of the
game were Coleman and Garrity of
A. & M. Both were featured in the
Farmers- L. S. U. battle here last
Thanksgiving. Coleman’s open filed
tackling was remarkable, and time and
again he downed Rice runners before
they could skirt the extremities of A.
& M.’s line of scrimmage. His game
was essentially a defensive one, as
his line plunges were nullified by the
inability of the heavy forwards to
shatter the Rice defense. Then there
was the wonderful kick that alone
would entitle him to praise.
Johhny Garrity, the Dallas boy, a
veritable bundle of grit and energy,
played a startling end, and it was his
alert work that was responsible for
two of the A. & M.’s touchdowns.
Bell and Everett both did excellent
work in the backfield, and Scott ran
his team well and contributed his
toework to the defensiive game.
Settegat’s bulk was used in the last
half as a ground gaining force, big
Marion being brought back of the line
to plunge again and again. The big
forward intercepted a forward pass at
one timely moment.
The most extraordinary feature of
the scrambled football presented was
the number of long runs reeled off in
the course of the affair. In the sec
ond quarter Scott of A. & M. got away
for 35 yards and Brown of Rice 65
yards. Brown also made a 40-yard
end run which was killed by an off
side play. In the third quarter Jourr
neay made a 30-yard return of a kick
off and Garrity a 30-yard run. Rice
almost went the length of the field in
two successive plays in the fourth
■quarter, Garentt making a 50-yard re
turn of a kickoff and Brown 30 yards
around end on the next play. In the
same quarter Clyce returned a kickoff
35 yards and Garrity of A. & M. made
a 60-yard run.
The crowd was not as large as that
which witnessed Saturday’s game, but
was approximately about 3000, and by
far the largest gallery Rice has played
to in its history.
The east side of the field had been
reserved as the A. & M. cheering
section, and throughout the game the
concerted rooting of the cadet stands
was a big feature of the gahe. Mili
tary discipline lends itself to the de
velopment of the cheering squads and
A. & M. cheering has always been the
best in the State in its unanimity. The
east side of the field was a banked |
mass of cadet blue save for a splotch i
of yellow where the Haskell Indians
were the guests of the rooting squad.
The west grand stand contained the
entire student body of Rice, the voice
of whcae enthusiasm could never be
drowned out be the uproar of A. & M.,
and who were cheering their beaten
players as gallantly at the close as at
the first.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed,
the field being fast from the Saturday
rain drying out, and a good cool, crisp
atmosphere exhilarating the players.
A. & M. won the toss and elected to
defend the north goal. Journeay
made a poor kickoff at 3 sharp and
Garrity’s return to A. & M.’s 40-yard
line began the game auspiciously for
the Crimson. A. & M. rushed the ball
to Rice’s 30-yard line, where Garnett
of the Owls recovered a fumble. The
remainder of the period was fought
chiefly in Rice’s territory, but the ball
was constantly changing hands on
punts, fumbles and intercepted >asses.
The second quarter began in much the
same style, but its course was de
cided when Settegast intercepted a
forward pass in midfield and carried
it to Rice’s 35-yard line. The Farmers
could not make first down and Scott
punted out of bounds on the 15-yard
line. On the first play Brown fumbled
a bad pass and only recovered it on
the 5-yard line. Jourqeay had to kick
from behind his own goal line, and the
punt was blocked. An A. & M. for
ward recovered, but fumbled and the
eager Coan snatched the ball, convert
ing a aFrmer touchdown into a safety.
Score, A. & M. 2, Rice 0.
A. & M. scored the first touchdown
in a few moments. Spencer recovered
a fumble on Rice’s 40-yard line, and
Louis Farr was laid out on the play.
On the next signal Scott sckirted the
dazed Farr’s end for 35 yards. Ev
erett brushed over tackle for the touch
down and Coleman missed the goal.
Score, A. & M. 8, Rice 0.
Within a few moments of the kick
off another fumble recovered by
Spencer brought A. & M. hammering
back at Rice’s goal line, but the Grays
tightened and regained the ball on
their 17-yard line. An interchange of
punts gave Rice a slight advantage,
and with the ball on their own 35-yard
line, Brown cross-bucked over tackle
and raced 65 yards for a touchdown,
Hurd kicking goal just as the half
ended. Score, A. & M. 8, Rice 7.
In the third period luck aided A. &
M. Forced to punt from their own 10-
yard line, and Scott driving the ball
only to the 45-yard line, Rice was pe-
; nalized for holding, and A. & M. given
I the ball where the foul was committed,
plus the penalty, on their 40-yard line.
And on a fresh exchange of punts
Journeay punted out of bounds on
Rice’s 40-yard line. A. & M. rushed
the ball to the 30-yard line, when Cole
man attempted a long forward pass.
Brown batted it down on the 1-yard
line, but Spencer recovered, according
to the officials, before the ball touched
the ground, and was downed on the
1-yard line. On the queer, “coffee
grinding’’ play, borrowed from the
Harvard offense of last season, Bell
went over the touchdown. Coleman
kicked goal. Score, A. & M. 15, Rice
7.
A few moments more brought Cole
man’s spectacular place kick in as a
factor. Punts again interchanged
found A. & M. on Rice’s 35-yard line
and held for our down. Coleman
dropped back to the 40-yard line and
kicked the ball squarely rom Scott’s
hands between the posts, though
standing but a few feet from 'lie side
tory and Rice succeeded in rushing to
their own 40-yard line. But there, on
an attempted forward pass, Garrity
tackled Brown, who fumbled. Garrity
recovered and went 30 yards for the
touchdow n. Coleman kicked goal.
A. & M. 25, Rice 7.
Early in the fourth quarter, with
the ball in Rice’s possession in mid-
field, Garrty intercepted Garnett’s for
ward pass and raced 60 yards before
being downed behind the Rice goal
line. Bell kicked the goal. Score, A.
& M. 32, Rice 7.
There was no urther scoring and
nideed in much of this quarter Rice,
battling furiously, fought almost up to
the A. & M. goal posts twice, only to
fail when within striking distance. It
was a game exhibition by a battered
club and merited the highest praise.—

CORPS MUCH COMPLIMENTED.
The conduct of the corps during the
recent trip to Dallas was so unusually
orderly that it attracted the atten
tion of every one. All the authorities
at the fair grounds, from the secretary
to the lowest ranking janitor, had
some pleasing remark to make about
the manner in which the corps con
ducted itself. Even the street car
conductors made comment on the or
derliness of the corps. This speaks
well for our student body and trips
conducted in such a manner will make
Dallas and the Fair Association all
the more anxious to see us every
year.
