So, the utmost precaution is taken to safe guard Granger’s priceless properties. To prevent the loss of one bit of its freshness. Granger is first packed in a heavy-foil pouch... Then to be 100% on the safe-side, this is sealed ‘air-tight’ in an extra outside-wrapper of glassine— keeping the tobacco ‘factory'fresh’ till you break the seal to load your pipe! Our chemists say it is ‘an almost perfect seal for tobacco condition’—protecting tobacco better than any container except the vacuum tin. Then, because it is much less expensive than a costly pocket-tin, Granger’s pocket-packet sells at just ten cents. It’s the greatest value ever offered to pipe-smokers! GRANGER Rough Cut The half-pound vac uum tin is forty-five cents, the foil-pouch package, sealed in glassine, is ten cents. y«i.

As Prexy has so well express ed it, “The officers of the Interscho lastic Basketball League have favored this College by granting us the priv ilege of having the 7th annual State Basketball Tournament held at Col lege Station, March 4th and 5th. There will be a large number of athletes from various sections of the State here as our guests upon this occasion, and we believe that their coming will be beneficial to every department of the Institution. I trust that the offi cers of the college and the student body will join with the athletic de partment in their efforts to make the visit of these students one that shall be both profitable and pleasant.” i “The presence of this group of boys upon the campus will give us an op portunity to show the Institution to a desirable group of prospective stu dents and I trust that we may extend to them every courtesy to which vis itors are entitled. This is the first time the College has been favored by having the Annual State Basketball Tournament here and I personal ly feel that we are most fortunate in securing the tournament this year.” 1 tinguished students. San Antonio has 35, Ft. Worth and Houston 17, Waco 13, and Bryan 10. To become a distinguished student there must be, at the end of the year an accumulation of over 60 grade points to the students credit. The au thorities have kindly consented to al low a student to become distinguished if he makes only 20 grade points the first term, provided he makes 40 the next. That is like making a “B” the second term to bring up that low “D.” j The College Officials have com piled a list of those who are eligible to be distinguished students at the | end of the year. In the compiling of this list they have also prepared sev- | eral minor lists which might be of interest to the cadets in general. Such lists as who were the high point men and the number of distinguished stu dents each of the several large cities here in Texas have. ! The high point men are as follows; none being given who had below 40 grade points. Dexter, F. F., Jr., 3 Ar. 48. Boyd, W. F., 4 Ag. 47. Blair, H. H., 4 Ar. 44. Carpenter, F. R., 3 Ar. 42.
