Safe-guarding tobacco’s
priceless asset
r>^
Tobacco that’s a veritable treasure, a
wealth cf rich mellowness, worth its
weight in gold... deserves every possible
protection to assure its safe-keeping. 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.

The State Basketball Tournament
will be held here Friday and Satur
day of this week and we might all
join in with the plan of Dr. Walton
and try to make this a “howling”
J success. 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.

There is a young man in Pawtucket
Who can’t carry a tune in a bucket
He sang such a note
That it stopped in his throat
And ’stead of eating his food, he
must sucket.
