Under the chairmanship of W. O. McGeehan, nationally known sports columnist and newspaper writer, and with the sponsorship of a committee of prominent amateur sports patrons, the aid of 250 newspaper sports editors is being enlisted to secure an “exhaustive and satisfactory na tional selection for the Albert Rus sel Erskine Award.” Sponsors of the plan are Albert Russel Erskine, pres ident of the Studebaker corporation, and the following committee; Theo dore Roosevelt, New York; John Me- Bowman, New York, head of the Bowman hotel chain; W. T. Ander son, publisher of the Macon, Georgia Telegraph; W. R. Moorehouse, vice- president of the Security First Na tional Bank of Los Angeles; Walter M. Christie, track coach of the Uni versity of California; W. T. Clayton, of Anderson, Clayton, and Company, Houston; Martin J. Collins, president of the Graham Paper Company, St. Louis; Feg Murray, sports cartoon ist, Avery Bundage, president of the Central Association of the A. A. U.; and Walter C. Allen, president of the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Com pany, Stamford, Conn. A preliminary ballot will be taken in December among the 250 sports critics and a final ballot will then be voted on the few teams which get through the first ballot. Between the halves of the New Year’s day game in California, the winning team will be announced. The coach of this team will be presented a Studebaker President Eight motor car. The com mittee plans to make the award an Annual Future Affair of the football season. t I t THE AGGIE OFFENSIVE. 4 % Yds.

But do you know why? We’ll tell you. First, pipe tobacco’s different— for instance, Edgeworth. Second, tobacco smolders as it should in a pipe. And third, these mean you get more satisfaction—greater relish of the good old savory burley, soothing fullness of rich smoke. There’s even a fourth reason: you like good company. The pipe-smok ing brotherhood is that. Tobacco’s at its best in a pipe. It gets a chance to be itself there—to loosen up as it comes to life, to ex pand and take in air and glow. Only the choicest leaves get that chance, moreover, for pipes tell the truth about tobacco. Choice leaves, choice blends, and mighty careful han dling. Edgeworth comes up through eleven distinct processes before we’re willing to pass it on to you. If you keep on missing all this, that’s your fault—for we’re waiting to send you your first pipefuls of Edgeworth. See the coupon? Fill it out, get a good pipe and the postman will bring you a neat little glad-to- meet-you packet of good old Edge- worth. Edgeworth is a careful blend of good tobaccos—selected especially smoking. Its quality and fia change. Buy it good for pipe- vor never EDGEWORTH LARUS & BRO. CO., Richmond, Va. I ll try your Edgeworth. And I’ll try ic . n. a good pipe.
