Oct. 25- (Ah- Lady Godiva was undraped again today and this time everybody watched. A bronze statue of the famous lady, who 900 years ago rode naked through the streets of this town, gave, up her veils for British and American flags in an jimpressive public ^efemorty. i Mrs. Lewis Douglas wife of the American Ambassador, pulled the string that loosed the covering. But Lady Godiva appeared sud denly modest. The flags stuck to her when the cord was pulled and workmen had to prod (hem down with long poles. It was the first statue the townspeople had ever had of their historic benefactress. Legend has it that at noon one day, 900 years ago she rode forth naked in the streets, vocered only by her own long tresses, to force hier noble husband, Earl of Mercia, to lower the taxes. - J . j ; 11 *; ; i i ! On that occasion the townspeople tvent indobrs to let their beau tiful lady pass unseen. But one guy peeped and became almost equally famous peeping tom. The story has it that the demonstration worked and the taxes were lowered. - Yell Practice - (Continued from Page 1) meets with them to make plans for the corps trip. J The possibility that this action would set a precedent for future yell practices wj»s voiced by Joe Fuller. Penberthy said that setting a daylight hourlfor Houston’s yell practice would not have any effect on future yell practices. C. G. "Spike” White puggekted the group go on record with their comments regarding midnight yell practices so tbit similar groups in future years plight have the benefit of . the [ discussion. How ever, Charles Khkham asked that such action be postponed pending the success of the daytime yell practice. The group decided to meet again Wednesday aftfir the corps trip.

Smith who took his first smoke-free /breath after 59 min utes. \ Sjnoke Rings Winners i|n the smoke ring com petition wore divided into two groups—one? for size and one for number. D.| N. Leavitt blew the gargantuan ring and J. R. Gauntt belied His name by following right behind him.-E. R. Morrison made up in number what he lacked in size by learning back and puffing out 35 recognizable smoke rings on one inhalation. J. D. Pianta pu|fed into a elosetsecond with 30 and E. E. Smith foMowed with 25. The cigarette rolling division, judged on a-'basis of time required and the appearance and service ability of ihe finished product, was won by [John C. Keeling with J. F.

Pint-sized puffing title was claimed by Frank E. Simmen, Jr., who won the miniature pipe divi sion. Judges at the affair were Dr. J. P. Abbot, W. R. Horsley, James (Red) Duke, A. R. (Pop) Ward, and Wm. (Dawg) Dawson. A sixth contest judge, Miss Clara Carson, was unable to attend the contest. Only major injury of the night was the YMCA chapel which looked just like—well just like a smoking contest had been held in it.
