Frank Guernsey is already show-
ing improvement over the form that
brought him the national intercol-
legiate singles championship last
spring. Another year has given
Frank time to work constantly on

an extensive Eastern campaign
gives. : Ji11 ,iM'|A|(|iffi l| | J Vf
There is something you learn out
there on the court in a bitterly- con-
tested set that can't be picked up any
other way.
THE REAL bright spot in Owl ten-
nis prospects is the rapid devel-
opment of Dick Morris, the Florida
sophomore who teams with Guernsey
in 'doubles competition.

riot; The net result; faculty discip-
line, reams of publicity, some too

mound for Grigg, with a staff of six
in reserve. Mechler, the only slab ar-
tist, is unable to go, and is suffering
from an arm injury that will keep
him from service against the l)iscn-
man.
The Longhorns are handicapped by
lack of a catcher and a football hurt
that will keep McDonald, ace pitcher,
on the bench for a while. Everett,
a second-string short stop, is being
taught to take over catching duties.

SIX STEPS TO
MORE SMOKING
PLEASURE
AGEING—Chesterfield's mild
ripe tobaccos, like fine wines, are
aged for two or more years in huge
wooden casks. Here they gradu-
ally acquire that true Chesterfield
mildness and better taste which give
millions of smokers more pleasure.
11
STEMMING—"Almost human"
is whut they say about the inter-
esting stemming machines, whose
fingers pick up the tobacco, leaf
by leaf and tuke out the stem,
leaving only the mild, tender,
good-lusting part of the leaf to go
into the making of Chesterfields.
