Rice To Resume Battle With Kansas Tonight
The Rice Institute Owls and the Kansas Jayhawkers resume hostilities after a lapse of nine years at 7:30 o'clock tonight in Hoch auditorium. The game is on set No. 2 of the student ticket series.
Rice has won two of its five games this season, having downed Sam Houston State 59-57 and 67-53.
The Owls have had difficulty holding the lead in the last minutes of their games. After leading Stephen F. Austin college most of the way, they dropped the tilt 51-50. They also battled a superior Louisiana State team down to the wire only to lose 64-67.
Coach Don Suman's team is tall but inexperienced. Louis Fulton tops the team with a 6-feet 7-inch frame, followed closely by Maurice Teague and Bill Bailey at 6 feet 6 inches.
Jim Beavers, Dean Small, and Bert Dickens are 6 feet 4 inches tall.
Last season the Owls won eight games and dropped 15 while becoming the cellar-dwellers of the Southwest conference.
The invaders will be playing a team of Jayhawkers who are intent upon keeping their slate clean.
After a victorious weekend against Southern Methodist, the Kansas team now has posted five wins this season. The Mustangs gave the Jayhawkers a rough time. Without the record-breaking performance of Clyde Lovellette the Friday night game would have been close.
K-State Tickets Here About Jan. 1
Tickets to the KU-K-State basketball game in Manhattan Jan. 26 will be available to a few lucky KU students sometime after Jan. 1. E. L. Falkenstien, athletic business manager said today.
Mr. Falkenstien said he does not know how many tickets will be sent for sale to KU fans but believes that the University will get its "usual block." No tickets can be reserved in advance of their arrival here.
Larry "Moon" Mullins, K-State athletic director, stated in a letter to K-State fans recently that the 12,500 seats in the college's new fieldhouse have been sold since Nov. 20.
"Santa Claus would make another 10,000 fans happy if he could bring us a larger fieldhouse for this one game," Mullins said in his letter.
Only 1,000 reserved and 1,600 general admission tickets are ever available for any one game this year at K-State. Students and faculty occupy 5,500 seats and the remainder have been purchased by season ticket holders.
The ranks of the KU squad have been lessened as Wally Beck, Bob Godwin and Dean Wells have dropped from the squad.
Wells made a brief appearance against Denver. He came out late after football season. Godwin and Beck apparently were dissatisfied over not seeing varsity action.

Henrich Takes Television Job
New York — (U.P.)—Tommy Henrich, the Old Reliable, turned his back on baseball today with "a million memories and not one regret."
There wasn't any fanfare, no cameras, no big batteries of reporters, newsreel men, or television crews around yesterday when the great and personable veteran of the Yankees called it quits.
The contrast to the big show of a week ago was terrific. At that time Joe DiMaggio announced his retirement and the hoop-la would have done credit to a presidential inauguration.
And he isn't losing any time about it either. He starts it tonight with Russ Hodges, the New York Giants broadcaster over station WJZ-TV. Before long, he will put on the show by himself, bringing in guest sports personalities and discussing sports in general.

Browns Fly To Los Angeles For2nd Defense Of NFL Title
Cleveland—(U.P.)-The Cleveland Browns left here today by air for the defense of their National Football league championship against the Los Angeles Rams, and their "long" faces bespoke no good for their opponents in Sunday's title game.
The Brownws were unhappy about having to play in Los Angeles because of the fact they would miss Christmas with their families. They had hoped the Detroit Lions would win the past Sunday and they would have been able to do their "Christmas chopping" in the nearby motor city.
This will be the second championship game for the two teams in as many years. Last year in a Christmas eve blizzard, the Browns edged the Rams in the last 28 seconds of play, 30-28, on the basis of Lou (the toe) Groza's 16-yard field goal.
Earlier this year the Browns beat the Rams again, 28-23, and Cleveland attributes that victory to San Francisco.
"If we had lucked our way through that one we may have taken things in our stride and blown a couple important games later on."
In the season's opener on the coast, San Francisco beat Cleveland, and jolted the perennial pro champions out of their complacency. "Losing to the 49ers made a different ball club out of us" Captain Tony Adamle said.
