Second Game.
The Rice Institute Owls won their
third game of the season Saturday
when they pulled a game out of the
fire in the fourth and put it on ice
in the seventh and defeated the Tex
as Aggies in the second game of the
series by the score of 9 to 7. Rice’s
win Saturday gave the local collegi
ans an even break in the series.
Dan Bloxsom tossed for the Owls
and pitched a nice, consistent game,
though he was touched for a total of
11 hits. The Aggies rampaged about
in the first, third and fourth frames,
but after that were allowed but two
hits.
The Owls started off slowly and
not until the fifth inning did they
show signs of life. In this stanza,
however, the Rice nine drove Doc
Graves off the mound. Five hits in
the fifth, including a home run by
Hale, a pair of doubles and a brace
of singles did the dirty work.
Graves was replaced by Jennings,
who allowed four hits and two runs,
enough to win for the Owls, in his
3 2-3 innings stay on the hill. The
Owls fielded well, and this was an
important factor in their victory.
Timely blows off Bloxsom made the
Owls look weak in the first innings
of the game.
Chapman started things rolling for
the Aggies in the first when he hit
a home run with a man on base. This
blow went into the right field stands.
Other extra base hits were effective
in helping the aFrmers to amass their
total of seven.

a sensational finish of a mediocre be
ginning, of Old, the wonderful miler
and cross country man, who is known
throughout the Southwest as one of
the best all-around track men in this

reliable little relay man, and of
Leuty, the powerful shot putter.
Coach House will Irave his troubles
in baseball, too. Jack Forgason, the
best catcher in the conference, is
playing his last year in the Aggie
spangles and King Gill, the steadiest
pitcher on the Aggie squad before an
injury runied his pitching arm, will
hurl no more.
Half of the tennis team will be
swept away. Rounds and Darby will
leave with the class of ’24 and Coach
Thomas will be forced to replace
them with new material. These men
have been consistent winners and Ag-
gieland will miss their smashing
drives.
Though the class of ’24 is moving
on, we look to you, men of ’25, ’26,
and 27, to carry on. We have not
always won during our four years
stay here at A. & M. but we have
fought and given our best. We look
to you to bring home victory after
victory. Gladden the hearts of the
class of ’24 by whipping Texas to a
fare-you-well in ’25.
SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER GETS
GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENT
E. A. Brown, prominent member
of the senior class and civil engineer
de-luxe, has received an appointment
from Washington to look for the lost
aviator, Major Martin. Mr. Brown
will take up his duties at once in or
der to have a few clues to work with.
In an interview with a Battalion
reporter Monday Mr. Brown com
mented as follows: “I feel that I am
eminently qualified to search for
Major Martin, and I know that I can
sympathize with him. I have been
lost so many times myself that I
think I can give him some pointers
at the game. The War Department
must have heard of my Navasota
river expedition, and the enviable
record I made there. If I don’t find
Major Walker, I might find the North
Pole.”
