AH eyea are turned toward Kyle field lot the football classic of tbe Southwest Monday when fat the first time- In the history of the two institutions will a Rlr football team play on Kyle Acid.

Arbuckle, the ailcnt meteor of the Bayou city, has bad his team working hard for Urn contest. Tbe sting ofa dec; Sire defeat the hands of the Unghorne twe weeks ago is still feK by, the Owls and nothing would please them better than to make the Aggies bite tli(4ust. Then Again they twl.eve it is tke'ir Time to take the fall out of the Aggies aad repay them for snaching away the championship of the Southwest conference in 1917. It wan this venr flint th Owls had met and defeated all earners including tho longhorns, at tha Capital city; and tt)c Aggies were their only team between them and the championship, but on that dear Thanksrivinr riav the were forced to tuke the small end of a 10 to 0 wife 1 A paifiM Tap row, tron te rloht(tho Dtvlca, right and captain; Riltcrd, full jack; Dome, left halfback.

After preening her feathers in a week's strenuous work the Rice Owl eems fully prepared to meet the Farmers at College Station Monday Whether or not the feat of 1016 Will be repeated, when the majestic old bird earn, back from a stinging defeat at tbe hands, of the Longhorns and buried her talons iu the Aggies by a score of 20 to 0 at College Station, will be. determined at this time. It will be remembered that in that year Texas defeated Rice, Rice walloped A.

and M. and in the Thanksgiving game the Farmers trounced the Longhorns. To this day the Southwestern championship for that great football year has not been -determined. The question now prevalent in the minds of tbe lovers ot the game is: Will the Owls repeat the feat of 1916? On Rice campus hope is entertained for a victor by the In fact, the students believe it so strongly that practically every one make the trip to Kyle field and give their entire lung power to the support of their idols. It took only a few minotes to raiso funds to send tbe Owl band along with the team.

Aa in Dallas, this organisation intends to exhibit the famous 'Owl step' between periods. Downtown opinion differs as to the outcome, of the battle. A great number en- tertain hopes that the local collegians will repeat the feat of 1916. Others seem to think that the Aggies will have no trouble in rolling up at least two touchdown" At no time during the season have the Owls appeared to be in better condition. Captain Jim Dain has recovered from the bruises suffered in the battle with the Dallas "Preachers" last Saturday.

He has practically solved defensive plays required of au eud. Coaeji Arbuckle ordered the hefty second team around bis end time after time last week and o- practically every occasion the opposlrg back was thrown for a Iocs. Tbe great defensive game played by the varsitv captain against -the Greenbacks at New Orleans still remains fresh in tbe mlnu-i of those who witnessed the conflict. Dain will be in the lineup against the, Monday and will no doubt have another opportunity to do great work. On the left end DcPrato, who rnshod by the entire 8.

M. IV back field aid grabbed a pass from Dyer for the orlv touchdown, will be on hand. This is 1H Prato's third year on the varsity ad the first time that be has plsyid against th Aggies. The booting end of tbe game baa received great attention at Rice field during. the last few days.

Coach Arbtiekte has given a great deal of attention to Lnder-wood and hopea that the much adulated Higginbotham will find a worthy rival In tbe big linesman. At Dallas "Heavv" averaged around R5 yards, according press reports. His form has been grentlv improved since the return home and i-i scrimmages he has averaged well around 60 yards. 1 ighting "Dud." Jarris will back im the line at defensive center. In the Teras aine when spirits were at a low ebb.

Jarvis exemplified every characteristic of hts name. He is the one, man that la able to keep the bunch pepped up. The backbone of Arbuckle's machine this sesson. F.ddle Dyer, played a prea' amc at Dallas. Kitts, the most 'alke-I of grid man of North Texas, f.i'led to fathom the great defensive work of Rice's idol and failed to make sborrlroj against the Owls.

Eddie's chest, which was badly smashed in the Longhorn encounter, has about healed. In fact, he has been in no better shape throughout the entire season. The veteran quarterback. Nssh. whe ran CO yards through the r-Ilallas.

will call the team down the field. Cunningham and Kennedy w-ll make up the remainder of the back field. The battle wHthjV. and M. is the crucI contest of Rice's s-hedule.

Her chanca of being a factor in the Southwestern championship rests with the result. core, thereby losing the championship of the Southwest conference. Ifl he four football contests the count atatith two each. In 1014 the Aggies were the winners '07 a score of Ml' to 7. but the next season foutid them a defeated teem by a.

single tourliJown. the scare being 7 ti O. In lfMO the Owls again defeated the Amies, but this year by much larger urorc. The final count beuig :0 to 0, and iu 1017 without the famous Hip Collias, the Aggies downed tbj OwN 10 to 0 The Rice team Jits showed ful improvement during the past 10 ys nodJooked like a world heater og: st S. last week.

Hy c.nnpaiv scerea the twls have the slight edge on the Aggiea. Both teams have phne.l Hay lor 8Ud 8. M. Iiieo defeated Hnvlor 28 "to O. while A.

and M. defeated "the same team 24 to0. Kice defeated S. M. I 10 to 0 aud the best the Aggies could i do was to score ono field' goal against the same team.

The fact that the game i played on Kyle field may in a measure offset this advantago In comparative scores. The Aggie were referred to not many eekBgo as the "Kyle h'ield and cuid not play off Kvlc fhdd. hut the fa ne with both Oklahoma and Baylor this to be a mere fallacy. Aj to Weight, the advantage rexts with tlie Owls. In speed the Owls have such men as Uudsey, Dyer aud Nash in the backfield.

Any of tho trio are to be feared ami are dangerous broken field runners. It is hardly possible that Ar-buckle will show a better punter than Hwglr.botham a more formidable line plunger than Mahan, or a better broken field funner thaa Weir, but the back nu flasU ot Monday will be tho best sven on any visiting team at oUcge Station this season. Few reports ire heard from Kice field, but those acquainted with Arbuckle's system of coaching, know that the lack of news means good news and this Coaches Bible andJtothgeb well know. therfore they too not been idle since tho Bavlor K3h wuaJ the fmk prouditipn and will on Monday preient its'most formidable lineup.
