The lack of personal cooperation is the weak link in an otherwise strong chain against not only some of the infections and influences that impair health or destroy life middle-age and older groups but against a number of the com municable childhood diseases, in which latter class diphtheria is an example,” states Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer. ‘Toxoid immunization is avail able in Texas practically to all children, either through the fam ily physician or at clinics arrang ed by physicians for those who are unable to pay the usual fee for this service . “While the number of Texas children who have the benefit of this protection is large, evident ly there are many who, because of parental misconception or un concern, have not been made in vulnerable to an attack of diph- simple and death rates during the last 30 years has developed an unwarrant ed sense of security on the part of too trusting parents.

That doesn’t mean that this squad will provide an aerial circus. But it does mean that if the opposi tion gangs up a little too close, his Owls will take to the air and scat ter ’em. Dick Dwelle, curly-haired jun ior from Highland Park in Dallas, who played quite a bit of tail back the latter part of the season in 1940, is the No. 1 passer of the squad. He has shown marked improvement over his last year’s passing, and the defense for the passer also has stepped up. Behind him right now is J. C. (Stoop) Dickson, who didn’t let ter last year. Dickson is by far the best kicker on the squad, but doesn’t have Dwelle’s speed in carrying the ball, and isn’t quite as good a passer. I The squad has gone through its first two weeks of hard work with nothing but minor injuries. Two boys are out with knee injuries, Bud Ely, sophomore back, and Jack Dearmore, third string center, but are expected back soon. -DISTRACTIONS- (Continued from page 2) On the lighter side there is “HIS GIRL FRIDAY” at the Campus to- rrow and Saturday.
