Rice, Aggies In Survival Clash Battle HOUSTON, Jan. 22—(Spl.)—It will be a battle for survival in the Southwest Conference cage race when the Rice Owls and Aggies clash here Saturday night. E'ach team has a 2-2 mark in conference play, same as T.C.U. and Arkansas. The winner earns a second place tie with Baylor, only half a game behind Texas. The looser doesn’t bow out of the jimALLYSON van JOHNSON —Also— “CAPTIVE CITY” Starring JOAN JOAN FORSYTHE CAMDEN SATURDAY ONLY “The Treasure of Lost Canyon” Starring WILLIAM POWELL JULIA ADAMS CHARLES DRAKE —Also— “Rusliwackers” Starring JOHN IRELAND DOROTHY IRELAND MALONE ilice Named New SWC Tourney Host Houston,, Texas, Jan. 22— UP)—The third annual South west Conference pre-season basketball tournament will be held at Rice Institute Dec. 28- 30. The dates were announced Tues day following a, meeting between Abb Curtis, assistant executive seciutary of the conference, and Jess Neely, Rice athletic director. Conference officials two weeks ago approved transfer of the tour nament to Houston from Dallas. Lost Money Curtis said it was found at Dal las that $14,000 gross was neces sary for the tournament to break even on a faur-day basis. The 1952 tournament grossed only $11,000 and the conference office suffered the loss. The 1951 tournament broke even. By cutting the number of play ing days from four to three, Cur tis believes expenses can be re- ducerl about $1,200. Another $000 can be saved on rent and decora tions since the tournament will be held .in the G,500-seat Rice field house. Travel Expenses Some' of these savings, however, are expected to be offset by travel ing expenses which figure to be greater in most cases because Houston Is not as centrally located as Dallas. Double-headers will be played each afternoon and evening of the three-day tournament there. race mathematically, but the odds are much against a team rebound ing from three losses at this early stage to win a title. 7Tie Owls in their last two starts indicate they are about to steal the thunder from the Aggies as the circuit’s “hot and cold” team. Af ter convincing victories over SMU and Baylor, Don - Suman’s cagers were considered in the drivers seat in the conference scramble. But two quick losses to the Razorbacks and Horned Frogs have pulled the Blue and Gray club back into the pack. Hard to Figure The Aggies are quite hard to figure. They finished last in the SWC tournament in Dallas in De cember didn’t even win once in three starts. In conference play they’ve been whacked pretty de cisively by Baylor and T.C.U. But they also have startled the fans by winning over both Arkansas and the Texas Longhorns, which provided for two major upsets. Saturday night’s game at the Rice Gymnasium will begin at 8:15 p.m. There will be a preliminary game at 6 p.m. between the fresh men teams of the two schools. Re served seats may be purchased in advance. Since Rice Institute has a 0,000 seat gym and only some 1500 students, there will be plenty of tickets available for the gener al public on sale at the ticket win dows Saturday night.

John Fortenberry, 6-3 scoring wizard from North Little Rock, Ark., is currently averaging 18.5 points per game. He has scored 74 points in four games, having missed one contest with an ankle injury. High for the year was against Allen Academy when he hit 23 points. Coach Hayes will take his Ag gie Fish to Houston Saturday night (Jan. 24) for a game with the Rice Owlets.
