Four
Students, friends, faculty of
The Rice Institute are invited to
hear Dr. Willard Thorpe, M. D.
Anderson Visiting Professor, at
8 PM in the Lecture Lounge
Thursday. His subject will be
"What Books to Buy—A Schol-
ar's View."
By Dick Karig
"Ill-luck," a sage once stated, "seldom comes alone." This
season it has brought a variety of calamities to the hapless
Rice grid team as good fortune continues to frown upon the
Owls.
Bad Breaks
Not since the Tech game have the
Owls received any good breaks, and
even then, they had a number of
touchdowns called back. Saturday it
was the same tale, with the Long-
horns coveting Rice's share of good
fortune.
Injuries
Injuries have taken a measurable
toll, especially in the baekfield. Ev-
en the magic curative powers of
medicine man Eddie Wojecki have
been taxed.
The Owl aerial attack took a turn
for the better and had its best day
-of the season. Jack Day, Billy Ed
Daniels, and R. J. Schroeder gath-
ered in the short passes with sticky
fingers, but the lack of the long
tosses' hitting was too apparent,
Howton
There is nothing that can break
the back of an opponent as quickly
fas the "home run" pass. Someone
in the press box in the closing min-
utes of the game put it aptly when
he murmured, "Oh, for Bill Howton
right now."
Howton, by the way, snared an-
other Green Bay TD toss last Sun-
day, to continue his brilliant first
year activity in the play-for-pay
circuit. The Rice combination of
Tobin Rote to Howton has clicked
many time so far. With Kentucky's
Babe Parilli also heaving them to
the Plainview end, the Packers have
a potent scoring punch.
With two games in the loss col-
umn, the Owls have to be counted
out of title contention. Trom here
on in they will have to play the role
of spoiler in the still wide-open race
for the conference crown.
Scores
Comparative scores: Del Mar 29,
Rice Frosh 26; and Del Mar 61, UH
Frosh 21.

116 experts and 121 fellowships
which cover a wide variety of assist-

Affected by Smoking Chesterfields

FIRST SUCH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED
ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE
A responsible consulting organization has
reported the results of a continuing study by a
competent medical specialist and his staff oq the
effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.
A group Of people from various walks of life
was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six
months this group of men and women smoked their
normal amount.of Chesterfields—10 to 40 a day.
45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con-
tinually from one to thirty years for an average of
10 years each.
At the beginning and at the end of the six-
months period each smoker was given a thorough
examination, including X-ray pictures, by the
medical specialist and his assistants. The exam-
ination covered the sinuses as well as the nose,
ears and throat.
The medical specialist, after a thorough exam-
ination of every member of the group, stated:
"It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and
accessory organs of all participating subjects ex-
amined by me were not adversely affected in the
six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
provided."
