Mark Clark’s proposal to proceed with the signing of an armistise in Korea, regardless of South Rorea’s opposition. All we have to do now to obtain the des perately longed-for truce is to convince South Korea’s President Syngman Rhee th^t half a country is better than none. That is the only obstacle to the actual signing. But those in authority should give ser ious consideration to the oriental concept of “face” before signing away half of Korea, be cause the moment the final documents are completed is the moment that the United States will have “lost face” throughout the Orient. There won’t be a single country in the entire Far East that will consider the signing as anything but a complete surrender on our part. The way orientals feel about “saving face” can be partially compared to our own intense dislike for being “pushed around.” When Rhee opened prison gates for thous ands of North Korean prisoners he was sav ing face with his entire nation because he felt he was being pushed around by people who were telling him exactly how and where his country should be divided. So he threat ens to go on fighting alone. If he should happen to do so it’s possible that we may have Russia, a member of the UN, stand up and demand that the UN forces fight South Korea as an aggressor against that body of nations. One thing is certain. Russia will make propogandistic hay out of the situation. Owls Loaded With Seniors Pose Conference Big Threat By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Px-ess Spoi’ts Editor Rice is supposed to be one of the favorites fox* the Southwest Conference football championship this year. The Owls got that tag last Autumn when they rolled down the stretch for four stx’aight conference victories and second place in the final standings after dropping five of their first six games. There is ample reason to give Rice a top rating—15 senior lettex- men, eight playing theii’ third var sity season as regulars. It sounds ominously like 1949 when the Owls were the best in the league and slaughtered North Carolina in the Cotton Bowl. That, too, was a senior team and it must be recalled that Coach Jess Neely back two summers ago said he had his fin est sophomore crop coming up. The coaching staff at Rice indi cates that the shift to the one- platoon system can be made with out a hitch. Neely is in his thirty- first year of coaching, his four teenth at the Rice helm; Varsity assistants Joe Davis, Cecil Grigg and Dell Morgan have been coach ing over 20 years, and even Red Bale, the so-called “youngster” on the staff, has been at it 17 years. So they are well-acquainted with both one and two-platoon football. 20 Lettermen Back Rice will have 20 lettermen. That’s not as many as some of the other conference schools. But when you consider that 11 of those fellows were regulars under the two-platoon system last season, it means that Rice will have more experience than anybody. The Owls don’t have depth qt end but they are stacked at the other positions. But, under the one-platoon system, thei’e is no need of six or eight ends. There’s quality if not quantity in Owldom. Blois Bridges, an offensive regu lar, and Dan Hart, a converted guard who made good as a defens ive regular last fall, are the top men. Sammy Ward is the other letterman at the position. Soph omores make up the remainder. of the wing bi'igade. A 205-pounder is the smallest tackle. Reserve tackles LaVon Cox and Orville Trask each weighs 235. Dick Chapman, 225-pounder who was all-confei’ence last fall as a defensive guard; Max Schuebel, 210, and Layton Golemon, 210, are the lettermen at tackle. The “little” fellow is Harris Moore, a 20'5-pound sophomore. Guard, a position that makes Neely’s great ground game click, has depth and everything it takes. Kenny Paul, who played both of fense and defense last year, may be the top lineman in the league. He’s a junior. The senior letter- men are John Hudson and W. C. Treadway. Hudson was the bus iest man on the club last fall, playing 324 minutes. Lamar Lee is the other letterman back at guard. Leo Rucka, a two-letter senior, is the center and a possible all conference performer. Don Wil son, sophomore of unusual promise, and Squadman Jerry Fitzpatiick provide top Preserve strength.

The veterans include Leroy Fenstemaker at quarter back; Halfbacks, Horton Nesrsta, Morris Stone, Caif Johnson, Gor don Kellogg and Burk, and Full backs Kosse Johnson, Bob Garb- reght and Don Whittaker. Some of those played only one way in two-platoon football and may have trouble adjusting themselves, but certain to see plenty of action are Fenstemaker, who took over at quarterback in mid-season aftex - Dan Drake was hurt and piloted the Owls in their great stretch run; Kosse Johnson, runner, kicker and linebacker; Nesrsta, the na tion’s leading punt-returner and fine all-around player despite his weight of only 147 pounds, and Carl Johnson, who played both of fense and defense over a two-year period. Mac Taylor, rugged runner and linebacker, and Bill Gaskamp, both ineligible last fall; Jerry Hall, 205- pound streak of fire, and John (Pinky) Nisbet, able sophomore quartex’back, are the leading new comers. Gaskamp is the fellow they’re saying will be Rice’s finest “all the way” running threat in years. Baylor talks about its “Feax - - some Foursome” but Rice can speak in a loud voice of its “Dan gerous Dozen.” It’ll be? quite a team to show its wax’es in the east. The Owls are going to play Cornell of the Ivy League at Ithaca. A good way to obtain national prominence.

CAMPUS CLEANERS Eisenhower Prepares Truce Reply (Continued from Page 1) Stating that he was talking as an individual senator, Knowland said the “joker” in CoYnmunist acceptance of the UN truce terms is “the fiction that the only Com munist forces in Korea were and are the People’s Republic of Korea and the Chinese peoples’ volun teers.” “The Chinese Communist re- gixne, which has been declared the aggressox* by the United Nations— and which supplied most of the armed forces, and with the help of the Soviet Union supplied the planes, tanks, guns and ammuni tion—has not been a party to the negotiations, does not sign the ax-- mistice and does not guarantee that the ai-mistice will be x-espect- ed once it has been entex’ed into,” Knowland said. “In effect, the responsibility of the Chinese Communist x-egime of Mao Tse-tung for making aggx-es- sion or keeping the peace is ig- noi’ed. “No responsible official of that regime signs or underwx-ites any thing. We, however, will be obli gated, if and when we sign, by the signatux’e of Gen. Maxk Clark, U. S. Army, commander of the United Nations Command. “It is my personal belief, which I state on my responsibility as a senator of the United States, that we have now ax-rived at one of the great turning points of history.” Gen. Clax-k repox-ted to Wash ington Wednesday morning a let ter from the Comunist command accepting the Clax-k px-oposal that truce negotiations be px-omptly started up again. It is expected here that within a day or so Clax-k will suggest a date for the next meeting of full ti-uce teams. Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary of State Walter S. Robertson is trying ixx talks with Rhee at Seoul to work out a formula which will win the aged South Korean leader over to an armistice, or at least get him to agree to avoid force- able action to prevent axx armi stice. Rhee has threatened to fight on alone unless the U. S. accepts his terms. The main elements of Robex-t- son’s px-oposals were said here to be assurances of U. S. economic and militax-y assistance, a treaty underwx-iting South Kox-ea’s securi ty, and an-angements for close co- operation with South Korea in post-armistice political negotia tions with the Communists. These suggestions fall far shox-t of Rhee’s desire either to go on with the war until Kox-ea is unified or to x-esume the war after a lim ited time if political negotiations fail to produce unification. Px-esident Eisenhower restated at his news confex-ence the basic U. S. position that this countx-y looks forward to the unification of Korea by peaceful means. He pictured the Korean conflict as not only a militax-y contest but an incident in a gx-eat ideological stxuggle between the Communist and Fxee Wox’ld. And he said that the question of carrying on the war is one which must be weighed against the futux-e and the success of the UN. s/# Mi-. Eisenhower ex| LA » & sympathy for Rhee’s unify Kox-ea.
