Rrsonally, smoke | c-\ J M for A pleasure! "juk

ON THAT basis alone, I delect the tobacco that gives me pleasure in the greatest measure. (I wasn’t deliberately trying to make a rhyme.) That tobacco is Prince Albert... good old Prince Albert, known as The National Joy Smoke — and for good reason! Have you never known the thrill of opening a tidy red tin of this fine old favorite and inhaling that wonderful fragrance? Have you never sat at one end of a pipe with P. A. at the other end and tasted that marvelous smoke? Then it’s high time to start!

fringe ALBERT the national joy smoke!

Buy yourself some Prince Albert today. Fill your pipe to the brim and light up. Notice how refreshingly cool it is, no matter how fast you feed it. Notice, too, that it is mild without sacrificing that full, rich body which you demand in & smoking tobacco. I tell you in all sincerity: If you have never smoked Prince Albert, you simply don’t know how good that old jimmypipe can taste. No matter how satisfied you think you are, try a tin of Prince Albert. No friend ever gave you a straighter tip.

Qff the BACKBOARD

mT appears tis if Indiana just won't let things run accordingto good dope and dopesters. Reputed to have the host chance for the title the Crimson toll before Michigan on their home floor and got pushed down in the standing. Then the Hoosiers got trimmed unexpectedly by Chicago. The Deanmen lost Winston by graduation and were reported to be wrecked without him. And to get rid of that Idea they went up to Ann Arbor and trimmed the Wolverines, cllmhing into first place. Dope starts running again, and Indiana has a good chance for at least a tie for the Big Ten honors. Ohio State conies up, knorks ’em silly and now the dope bucket la standing upside down, dopesters in much the same condition, and every one wondering if the Crimson caught the Wabash infection of “off and on” and are performing in the Little Giants’ most select and approved manner—"off tonight—on tomorrow night.” Heard some rumors today to the effect that Butler and Notre Dame were attempting to get together for a basketball game before the season ends. “Jut” Paul, graduate athletic manager at the Irvington institution, said the report was news to him and denied knowledge of the plan.

And then to top it off lieinic Goett announced during the halves Abie Thatcher, former Short- ! ridge star and flashy little forward j on the Turner squad, had been mar- | l ied Saturday. And a very reliable I bystander assures us the girls assembled there to sec Abie perform took it awfully hard. Y'es, we got trimmed Tuesday I night. Just hit two out of three on ’our picks. Indiana pulled us off our j .700 perch to .695.
