Red Armistice Instructions
Means U.S. Eases Face’
The muddled Korean situation Wednes
day became even more muddled when the
Communist high command accepted Gen.
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.

Backs! Man, the bayous are
full of them. There are nine let
termen, including Sammy Burk,
who returns after two years in the
Air Forces. 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.

will be a speechless course,” Bi’ay-
ton said. “It consists of demon-
stration, explanation and px-actice.”
Participants will take a written
exaxnination on what they have
studied on the last day of the
coui’se, Brayton added. “Those who
pass the exams will caxry home
ixiany thousands of dollaxs in in
surance premiupi savings. Of even
more importance will be the bene
fits of increased knowhow in hand
ling fires in their hometowns.

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.
