Prizes for
All Smokers
In Contest
By ROGER COSLETT
“Fire in the hole.”
“What’s this, smoke and fire but
no explosion?” Wasn’t that the
yell for dynamite being set off?
Yes that’s the yell alright but in
this case it’s just another Aggie
firing up that stoker of his in an
ticipation of winning a host of
prizes in the annual Battalion
Pipe Smoking Contest.
Why haven’t you heard? The
contest is being held Feb. 28 in
the MSC Assembly Room. Last
year they gave away better than
$150 in pipes, tobacco, cigarette
and pipe lig’hters and cigarettes.
This year promises, to be as good,
if not better.
By “they” I mean The Battalion
and the Memorial Student Center
of course. They have been doing
it for the last four years.
The nice part about it is that
there are more than just pipe
smoking contests. Why they have
cigar smoking, cigarette rolling
and smoke ring blowing as well.
They even give a prize for the
best pipe collection.
Anyone connected with the col
lege can enter—even women. All
they have to do is watch The Bat
talion for an entry blank, fill it
out and return it to the contest
manager.
Well what are you waiting for?
Get out that briar, stogie or pack
age of Dukes and practice up.

C, Clement French
Dean of the College -
102 gave generously of their time
to gathering of clothing and fur
niture for the family of seven.
There are 21 units—cub packs,
scout troops, and explorer posts—-
serving over 500 boys of all races
in the Brazos County area. These
boys meet weekly and carry on
the work of scouting—either work
ing on merit badges or else doing
their “good-tum”.
Wednesday afternoon at 4 p. m.
a Boy Scout from one of the local
troops will be interviewed over
radio station WTAW. The program,
under the direction of Jack Linn,
field executive of the local area,
is for the purpose of telling the
work carried on by the local scouts
and to promote membership among
the youth of College Station.

may become a member of the Boy
Scouts by contacting Scoutmas
ter C. W. Manning at 4-4704 or D.
D. Burchard at 4-1258.
Influenza and Diarrhea Are
On Upgrade Report Shows
Sixty-four cases of influenza and 38 cases of diarrhea
are reported for the week ending Jan. 27 by the Brazos Coun
ty Health Unit.
Dr. David E. Brown, director of the unit, said that al
though the number of cases were high, the figures were nor
mal for this time of the year and there was no cause to
worry.
“Influenza has been diagnosed as one of the virus dis
eases and precautions against the spread of this disease are
simple.
If citizens observe the simple rules of personal hygiene
—washing hands and face before eating, bathing regularly,
and sleeping in well ventilated rooms—there is not much
danger of contracting the disease.
People should also avoid large crowds where germs are
likely to be spread through coughing and inhalation. Public
drinking fountains should be avoided whenever possible as
many cold germs are spread in this manner, says Dr. Brown.
Diarrhea, also diagnosed as a virus disease, may be
spread the same as influenza. This disease seems to be spread
mainly through food and drink.
Diarrhea virus, unlike the flu virus which attacks the
lungs, goes down the throat and attacks the digestive tract.
Precautions against this disease are the same as those
for influenza with special emphasis on the avoiding of large
crowds.

Golden Gloves Thursday —

gard.
There is hardly a record of a
basketball game, in which, the
free throws do not play a crucial
role, and it is equally as easy for
our team to be the victim of nerve-
quaking booes and yells.
These “sins” won’t keep those
who commit them from entering
into the gates of heaven, but they
will definitely scar our reputation.
Think about it the next time the
situation arises.
Golden Gloves Tourney, Feb. 8, 9, 10
There’ll be fights and fights ga- odd candidates vie for greater
lore Thursday, Friday, and Satur- ring glory and anyone of the many
day nights when the pugilistic trophies offered to those achieve
teams of Bryan YMCA, Allen the paramount feat—survival.
Academy, and Sam Houston State Both novice and open divisions
College g-et together in Allen Aea- will be represented in the Annual
demy gym.
We might well call this a “sur-
Bryan Golden Gloves Tournament,
pitting together many of the best
vival of the fittest,” for there’ll be in the area in impressive exhibi-
leather a poppin’ when these 50- tions of amateur glove prowess.
Williams Coaches Home Team
Sporting our local colors is the
Bryan YMCA team, composed al
most entirely of students from the
college . . . hence, the name Fight-
in’ Texas Aggies.
Harold Williams, who won fame
in last year’s GG Tourney in the
light heavy weight division, is both
coach and team member for the
1951 meeting.
So far only about 20 Cadets have
shown desire to throw their hat,
gloves, shoes and robe into the
ring and there is room for several
more to bring the Aggie team up
to full strength.
According to Williams, partici
pation in the Golden Gloves meet
will not prohibit these same fight
ers from entering Intramural box
ing later this month. There has
been a change in the intramural
program to allow students to com
pete in .both tournaments.
Trophies will be awarded those
men winning the district crown
in their respective weights and
also to the runner-ups in both the
novice and open classes.
Novice includes those contest
ants who have no previous victor
ies in Gloves fighting, while the
open division ^has no restrictions
other than professional or semi-
pro experience.
The winners in the open division
will receive trunks, robes, trophies,
and an all-expense paid week in
Fort Worth for the state finals.

Poll Tax Receipts
Number Only 4,984
The final tabulation "of poll tax
receipts for Brazos County show
4,784 citizens beat the deadline of
Jan. 31 and will be eligible to cast
their ballot in all public elections
held throughout the 1951 year.
The county tax office said a total
of 1,200 exemptions were filed
making a grand total of 4,984 elig
ible voters in Brazos County.
Last year 7,054 voters paid their
poll taxes in Brazos County. It
is believed by the office the rea
son for the decrease in poll tax
payments was due to the extreme
bad weather, preventing people
from driving their cars to the tax
office.
