FiUe-Cent Cigar
Closely Guarded
Manufacturer Not Using
Lou Price as Excuse
for C0relessness

Some men think that "just any
old thing" goes into a five-cent
cigar. But that's not true of the
Girard cigar. Tobaccos from three
different countries are chosen to
make the Girard cool and mild so
that it never gets on your nerves."
Think of actually gathering and
blending tobaccos from three coun-
tries for one cigar. That doesn't
sound like ANY old thing!" As 4
matter of fact, the Girard is a ten
cent cigar. But tobacco prices are
down, and it can sell for a nickel
today. It's selling, too!-growing
faster than any other cigar.
You'll know why Girard is selling
faster than other cigars once ycu
taste its mild, delightful smoke
Man, it's so cool and smooth that
you'll hardly believe your own taste!
You'll take another pCg right away,
just to prove you're not dreaming.
And G;rard always leaves you feel
ing f1ne-"never gets on your
nerves." Try one today.-Advertise-

FOOTBALL FATALITIES THIS

that but three cases resulting fatally
occurred in colleges holding member
ship in this association"
The report by Langford was pre-
pared in advance of publication this
week of the detailed analysis of 1882
football accidents, showing at least
80 deaths attributable directly to
football on the sandlots, in the high
schools and colleges. This compared
with over 40 deaths in 1881.
The report says: 1T has been esti-
mated that at least 10000 played the
game in 1881 and if this be accurate
it means that the mortality rate was
less than three one-hundredths of
one per cent. While the death Of
even single player is most regrettable.
it is felt that the araignment of
football on this score has been too
severely drawn in some quarters"
Discussing the seasons effects
generally, the report says:
Lowered incomes have forced a
healthy reduction in the price of ad-
mission tickets, which the imposition
of taxes by the government has par
TALLY offset. Expense budgets have
had to be pared by the elimination
of unnecessary and luxurious prac-
tees some of which had had a de-
moralizing effect upon the players
and followers of the game. It is to
be hoped that football will have
learned its lesson.

says:
The number OF serious and fatal
injuries which have been reported by
the press as occurring during the
season of 1882 is disconcerting at the
moment, as it was confidently ex-
pected that the changes in rules
which were effected last February
would bring about a much lower

Southern California Hopes to
Extend Pitts Bad Luck in
Annual Classic

Pasadena, Calf, Dec. 31.-(P)-The
vests most frequent and successful
defender of intersectional football
honors, Southern California, bivou-
acked within earshot of the Rose
Bowl Saturday, to begin the burden
some task of awaiting its game with
Pittsburgh there next Monday.
Saturday afternoon these Trojans
were to set foot on the sod into
which their hackers and many nom
partisans expect they will trample
the hopes of Pitts Panthers.
Here they will rehearse for the
last time the plays designed to de-
fat the unbeaten invaders from the
east. After that, Troys mighty men,
victorious now in 10 consecutive
games, will return to the business of
waiting.
The brief workout is intended to
familiarize the CalifornianS with
Rose Bowl conditions.
Southern California won it's first
Rose tourney test from Penn State,
IA to 3, back in 1923. The classic,
now in its 18th year, has been moth
ing but a bed of thorns to Pitt. The
Painters lost to Stanford 7 to 6 in
1928. In 1890 Coach Jock Suther-
lands eleven was bowed in the most
disastrous defeat ever written into
the annals, IT to ID.

Reider still suffering from an early
season injury to the extent that he
probably will be able to play only a
short time-if at all.

He's back again-John j. (Old

Iowa students consider an all too
frequent visitor during the bas-
ketball seasons.
This time Mr.. Jinx snatched
away Ivan Blackmer, Iowa City

The two were ruled out of COM
petition by the eligibility COM

thereafter be ineligible to rep

For Four Quarters

Bismarck high school won its fourth
straight basketball game of the sea-
son to set down an all-star alumni
quint, IS to %, at the high school
gymnasium Friday night.
The Demons got away to lead
early in the first quarter and stayed
out in front all during the remainder
of the skirmish. The high school
contingent led, IL to 6, at the end of
the first period and were leading II
to 8 at the half. They picked up 10
points in the third quarter to lead,
q to II, and coasted home with a 13
point margin.
Finnegan and Lee, Demon forwards,
proved to be the heavy artillery for
the high school aggregation, picking
up total of IL points apiece. Lee
scored six times from the floor while
Finnegan picked up five field goals
and tailed twice on gift shots.
Johnny Spriggs was the only men,
Der of the alumni contingent able to
score more than once from the floor.
Playing forward, the former Demon
captain contributed eight of his teams
points, all of which were Tailed on
field goals.
Schlickenmeyer placed heads-up
defensive game at guard for the De-
mons and scored four times, twice
from the charity line and twice on
field goals.
Both clubs made frequent substitu-
tons, the high school outfit using nine
men and the alumni eight.
The team play of the Demons was
largely responsible for their victory
and their more polished offensive
more than offset the individual per-
formances of members of the all-star
contingent.
