which, when unrelieved, may re
sult in heart failure, and if alle
viated with alcohol, is likely to be
followed by pneumonia, or some
times by a jail sentence.”
Hooton said he recognized the
valuable contributions made by the
field of physical education, such as
correcting posture, but he urged
his listeners to ally themselves with
scientists to help save mankind
from physical deterioration and
“restore healthy organic tone to
the human animal.”
Yes, fellows, let’s cut out football,
baseball, tennis, golf, track, basket
ball, boxing, wrestling, ping pong
and the like . Let’s go to a one
hour class each day and let an
anthropologist show us the cor
rect way to stand and walk. The
name “anthropologist” brings to
my mind a picture of a worm, over
staffed with book material, about
five feet and two inches tall with
about 130 pounds hanging on a
poor frame that shrinks from the
shadows of a larger wife who tells
him when and where he is going
and when he is coming back. A
man (so called) who even fears to
step out in the sun for fear it will
bite him.
Take a look over this campus.
You will not find a finer looking
group of men anywhere on earth
than right here on this campus,
and why? For the simple reason
that they are all active in some
sort of athletics. Every student on
this campus goes through some
form of exercise, whether it be or
ganized or not. We all play games
of some kind. Here we have a
great intramural athletic program
along with major varsity and fresh
man sports.
We may be playing checkers in
the fire house, but that is better
than popping off about something
that you know nothing about.
WE’LL TELL YOU
WHAT’S WRONG
What the doctor’s
examination is to
you, our inspection
is to your radio!
We’ll diagnose its
ills, and make it
right again!

his racing
cars for speed —
his cigarettes for
slow burning
HERE THEY COME in a hurricane of flying
dirt and squirting oil. You can almost hear the
high whine of the motors and the shriek of
brakes and burning tires as they streak into the
sharp unbanked curves. They may call ’em
"midget racers,” but there’s speed to burn under
neath those toy-like hoods. Leading the pack
in the picture above is Bob Swanson, Pacific
Coast champ. In a split second these racers may
be climbing each other’s hoods, hurdling, somer
saulting, flying through fences. Bob Swanson
likes a slower pace in his off-time. Fishes a lot.
Smokes Camels a lot. He explains: “I don’t like
overheating in my cigarette any more than I like
it in a racing motor. I stick to Camels. I know
they’re slower-burning... milder and cooler.”
Slower-Burning Camels Give the Extras
‘ooY,"4 s
^AVO*
MORE PLEASURE PER PUFF...MORE PUFFS PER PACK!
WITH BOB SWANSON, it’s always a slow-burning Camel.
“That slower burning makes a big difference,” says Bob. "Camels
are milder—easier on my throat. They don’t bother my nerves.
And they never tire my taste. They give an extra amount of
smoking, too.” Yes, speed is fine in the right place, but millions
have learned that in cigarettes the coveted extras of coolness,
mildness, and full, rich flavor go with slow-burning Camels.
