ENGINEERS'SKATING
PARTY SCORES HIT;
NOVEL HOCKEY GAME
"More fun! More people killed!
Let's do It again," seemed to be the
unanimous verdict when the Engi-
neers' skating party came to an end
last Thursday night. So this event has
been added to the entertainment pro-
gram of the hairy-ears which is
thrown open to the school, along with
the annual ball, the biennial show and
the Engineers' play, which is making
its debut this year.
The piece do resistance of the skat-
ing party was the challenge hockey
game between the senior ('. E. and
E. E. students. It was a real sporting
event, inasmuch as several of the con-
testants were novices, and many rules
and other things were broken during
the course of the game. The stands
were in an uproar all the time, not
at. the good shots, for there were none,
but at. ihe good misses, which always
ended in a pirouette and a slide. Play-
ers on both sides covered themselves
with bruises, ice shavings and glory.
The score was a tie, although the
C. E. at one time were all fighting
around the E. E. goal, with Hender-
son sitting 011 the puck. Wallis saved
the day when lie reached under Hen-
derson, grabbed the puck, and threw
it toward the 0. E. goal. This un-
doubtedly saved Henderson's life, as
everyone was impartially hitting at
him and the puck, in an attempt to
make goal.
The lineup was as follows: C. E.
Alexander, Henderson, Newton. Hoi
den, Townsend, and Phillips. For the
E. E. side: Huuter, Godsey, Grace,
Daniels, Mortimer, and Johnson. Wal
lis substituted for the E. E.'s after
Hunter made an especially good miss.
No positions have been assigned be-
cause it is not just clear who was play-
ing what, but those present are con
vinced that, both sides showed en-
thusiasm enough to make up for their
lack of skill.
Two other events were the races
for those who "had been there before"
and for the beginners. The former
was won by Townsend, who also did
some star work in the hockey game.
It. W. Phillips came in first in the
second event, after all his competitors
had slid off the scene.
Although many requests have come
up for a repetition of the party this
year, it is probable that the society
may be too taken up with the ap-
proaching play to divert energy for
that purpose However, the tough
bunch from the M. L. are willing to
enter teams in any event that anyone
else might sponsor.

AT WRITERS'MEET
A short story, ueverti poems In ]
blank verse, a play, and some rather!
odd definitions in verse form were
read at the past meeting of the Writ-
ing Club at the Autry House Monday
evening.
Waldo McNelr read the short story.
The weird theme of the story was
well handled, although some criticism
was ventured that the diction might
have been more artistic. Pinckney
Fleming presented a dramatized ver-
sion of one of his short stories, Little
fault could be found with the tech-
nique or subject matter of Mr. Flem-
ing's work.
The group of poems written by Miss
Ruth Waples contained much of real
poetic merit.

Appearances may be against the modem
college pipe; he may look 'superfish'. .. he
may sound a bit blotto, slinging his six or
seven slanguages, including the Scandi-
navian. .. But when he talks 'tobacco'
lend him your ears. For that's one subject
he's studied and knows from the ground up!
Listen to his learned lingo and you'll see
why the one perfect pipe tobacco is grand
old Granger Rough Cut. It's all spicy old
Bur ley, the choicest pipe tobacco known
to man... all mellowed Wellman's way...
and cut, especially for pipes, in large slow-
burning, cool-smoking flakes. It's breaking
all collegiate records for pipe-popularity.
Of course, <ssome collegiate pipes, who
judge everything on 'price', can't afford to
smoke Granger... it's too Inexpensive.
But notice any pipe that is sufficiently
sure of himself to be himself, always; and
notice also his Granger.

I TOOK P. A. for better or worse . . . and
found it better! Better than anything I had
ever smoked. That's my story and I'm going
to stick to it. When siren-brands try to flirt, 1
just give them the Frigidstaire. I know what I
like in a pipe, and what I like is Prince Albert!
The instant you break the seal on the tidy red
tin and get that wonderful fragrance of real
tobacco, you know you are in for a pipe-treat.
Your mouth fairly waters for a taste of tobacco
that smells as good as that. Then you load up
and light up—ah! . . .
Cool. Sweet. Fragrant. Old words, I'll ad-
mit, but you get a brand-new idea of how much
they can mean in a pipe-bowl packed with P. A.
Maybe you've always thought such pipe-plea-
sure was "just around the corner." Try a load
of Prince Albert and turn that corner!
