age ho is nsiialiy married. Of course, there are exci^ptions to crvery
ease. Grwnbur^h i.'j 31 and he is still sinjrle. But Williams and Kel
ler both are only 23.
Colleae footlcyj will be affected more by the draft than basc4)all in
view of the f^jct tliat nearly all cflllt^e players are single.
Permit Freshmen To Play
A plan has bei’n introducfid in the Southern C’.->nferenc^'’ to try
to renunly the problem. The plan is this: all freshmen will 1k^ tK'r-
mitted to piay varsity ball. V. M. I., V. P, F, and Clemwi are mili
tary school.-) and'hold a advantage over the rest of the coMfcrence. Most
military students are exempted from the draft until they have, Ixwn

THE SMOKE'S THE THING!
CAMELS ALWAYS TASTE GREAT AND
THAT EXTRA MILDNESS MEANS
A LOT TO ME, NATURALLY
The smoke of slower-burning
Camels contains
28% LESS

than the average of the 4 other

any of them... according to independent
