Memorial Stadium, in Austin, although seating quite a few more The Purple and White's super- people than Rice's, left a lot to be desired. Mud, mud, and more mud left iority in the second half was as a deep impression on us. There were no sidewalks to get to the stadium, complete. TCU picked up 8 first and, as at Rice, now no paved walk around it. downs, while the Owls got only 2.

(Continued on Page 6) We have high hopes that the new Rice Stadium will cure a lot of ills. Adequate parking facilities are guaranteed. The problem of perfect seats for everybody will never be settled, of course. Another observation of the general subject: just from what we read in the papers, we think Cullen University, the University of Houston, that is, is taking quite an attitude on the situation. It's commendable that they have such pride that they wish to build their own stadium, but yet are willing to put it aside for one year, and play at the new Rice plant. The enlargement of Public High School Stadium may be an answer to their problem, but we feel that this would be giving undue help to the young university with tax-payers money. The pride in the U. of H. doesn't seem to extend that far. *P
