Six members of the Rice Owl Band plan to tend a letter expressing grat-itude to the Waco Fire Department, according to latest report*.

Six members of the band were at-tempting to "bum" rides to town from the Baylor stadium at Waco last Saturday, when along came the pride ot the Waco Fire Department—a gen-uine fire engine. Yes, and yes, al-though it had been in the service for eight years.

The sympathetic driver of the Are truck acted as chauffeur to the Owl musicians on their trip to the heart of the city. Impromptu sirens were furnished by the band members on their musical instruments.

Two Rice players who have been aomewbat Id the background during the first part of the season came to the front Saturday as the Owls were uosed out by Baylor. These two grid-men were Joe Neveaux, former Rea-gan high school star, and John Coffee, fast Owl wlngman.

• • »

Neveaux, given a chance to strut his stuff, due to the injury of Seaman Squyres, turned in Borne neat playing at quarterback. On a muddy field, playing safety man, Joe gathered in the high spirals from Jake Wilson's toe and ran them back for good gains. Not once did he fumble the slippery ball.

• * *

It was Coffee—not Admiration—who made possible the big threat for the Owl touchdown In the second half. Due to the strategy of Wilson, the threat, however, ended In only a safety for the Owls. John, who is a 10-second man on the Owl track team, played an excellent game at the wing position, getting down under p u n t s like a racehorse, and causing the Heurg much misery.

• • »

The Owls, this year In conference competi t ion, have a l te rna ted between a bad and a good day. They s t a r t ed off the season with a poorly-played game aga ins t Arkansas ; they played unbeatable football agains t Texas ; played poorly aga ins t T. C. U.; tu rned in a great game aga ins t the Aggies; took an off day and played S. M. l.T„ and then closed the i r conference sea-son with a good game aga ins t Baylor. They should now s ta r t over again and keep up the i r Intersectlonat record by whipping Iowa S ta te tomorrow. * » »

The Hice f r e shman football squad demonst ra ted tha t they had a power-ful grid machine by holding a s t rong Schreiner Ins t i tu te eleven to a 7—7 tie. The Kerrvll le school alwayR has one of the s t ronges t prep school t e a m s in the Sta te , having turned out the Ki'eat Bohn Hil l iard whq is now play-ftig with t he fresiimftn team at Texas universi ty. •

• * *

Coach Marvin Durrenberger ' s Green Owl eleven has a huge ar ray of s t a r line and backfield ta lent tha t will be welcome on the 1931 vars i ty . W i t h such oval luggers as Jack Frye , Jack iModesette, and Kelly Scott and some nif ty l inesmen in Fred Laute rback , Dutch Hhinehold and Clark it is not difficult to see how the Sl imes were able to finish the i r season with a .500 average. They played three of t he •strongest schools of the i r kind in the State , whipping Kdinburg 6 to 0, bow. iiig to Ter r in 7 to 0, and t ielng with Schre iner 7 to 7.

l.ast of the Fan tas t l cs , " to mean the sunset , the fading away of tha t rich, imaginat ive cul ture which has existed so long in Ireland. In quoting many a quaint anecdote of the renowned men of le t ters , among them Will iam Butler Yeats, Shanus O'Sulllvan, and the pract ical dream-poet, F i tzpat r lck , Dr. Hussell recrea ted for his audi-ence the simple beautyo f the Gaelic world tha t was Ireland.

Dr. Itussell dwelled 011 that, unique aspect of the Irish genius, Its In tense mystical qual i ty and capacity for tlie spirit world, t ha t has created i ts g rea t conversa t ional is t s and poets who dreamed their way through life.

As an example of a t rue Irish mys-tic, Dr. Russell quoted his f r iend. Francis Stephens , who said, "Las t night I d reamed I was a but terf ly and the dream "was so vivid tha t today 1 am wonder ing If 1 am not d reaming I am a man ."

Dr. Russell concluded his lecture by quoting his own poem, t he new fa-mous "Gates of the Mountain," which shows the Irish myst icism of a peas-ant who saw "the burn ing mounta in ,"

As a wri ter he is be t te r known as "AE," a designation given him by a careless pr in ter who set up his first newspaper contr ibut ion which he had signed "Aeon."

His works include; "Homeward ," "Songs by the Way," "The E a r t h Breath ," which he considers one of his bes t ; "Li te rary Ideals ," "The Di-vine Vision," "The Mask of Apollo," "By Still Wa te r s , " "Ir ish Essays ." "The Nat ional Being," "Some Thougts mi an trjsli Policy," and "The Can-dle of Vision."

He has been given degrees by Yale I 'n lvers l ty and several English col-leges, a l though his educat ion, t aken at Ra thmlnes school, was scanty . He was born In Lurgan, Armagh County, Ireland, in 1867.

The first work by Dr. Russell was published In 1891 and his last in 1922. He has been a close f r iend of some "f the grea tes t l i terary figures of his Hme. In t he early ninet ies he met • lie yoet Yeats , who since then has been a close f r iend and, Dr. Russell »nid, one of his g rea tes t Influences.

one m e m b e r on the mythical eleven.

Captain Billy Morgan of Rice, Bot-

didates, led in the voting. Morgan

had 31 votes; Koch, 3(5; Long, 35. Ox

Blanton, mighty Texas tackle, also

had 31 ballots. Owl players unanimously declared

they would choose J ack Meagher to coach the al l -Southwesteru eleven. T h e smil ing Ir ish coach, they stated, is one of t he finest men they have ever played under .

Rice gr ids te rs believed K o y a s t ronger player than Wilson in some respec ts , s ta t ing that , In their opin-ions, Koy would be a g rea te r s t a r than Wilson before he finished his grid ca-reer .

A11 unusual sidelight of the voting was the fac t tha t Owl players picked Noble Atkins, s te r l ing T.C.U. center , on the i r first alFSOUthwestern team by an overwhelming major i ty . P a r a , deaux of Baylor was named for f i rs t p lace pivot honors on the Associated P r e s s eleven. Atkins was said to be much more ac t ive behind the line t han Pa radeaux , as well a s an excel-len t pass in tercepter , and a m a s t e r in diagnosing plays.

Lou Hassell , immorta l in the mem-ory of all Texas I 'n lvers l ty players, would undoubtedly have been selected 011 the first a l l -s tar team had it not been for tlie il lness that caused him to miss several important games.

This Little Tube Measures Stars Centuries of Light Years Distant

• >Y MEANS of a new vacuum tube called a low-grid-current Plio-

tron tube, astronomers can gather the, facts of stellar news

with greater speed and accuracy. In conjunction with a photoelectric

tube, it will help render information on the amount of light radiation

and position of stars centuries of light years away. It is further

applicable to such laboratory uses as demand the most delicate

measurement of electric current.

So sensitive is this tube, that it can measure 0.000,000,000,000,000,01

of an ampere, or, one-hundredth of a millionth of a billionth of an

ampere. This amount of current, compared with that of a 50-watt

incandescent lamp, is as two drops of water compared with the entire

volume of water spilled over Niagara Falls in a year. •

General Electric leadership in the development of vacuum tubes has largely

been maintained by college-trained men, just as college-trained men are

* Ufrgely responsible for the impressive progress made by General Electric in

other fields of research and engineering.
