TWO HOSTS AND A HOSTESSthe University women assist in enter¬taining our guests. Wait for themixer Friday!OSWALD TOWERHEADS OFFICIALSWorks With Old Guard ofRule MenOne of the greatest factors instandardizing the basketball rulesthroughout the country is Mr. OswaldTower, chief of officials for theninth annual meet.

There are no telegraph lines,no telephone lines, and no railroadlines near the town. The team it¬self was selected from the twenty-one male students in the high school.When the invitation to enter the In¬terscholastic arrived, the Mayor andtwo aldermen went to Nashville towire a reply.In Bristol, Con., popular subscrip¬tion proved too slow for the busi¬ness-like Chamber of Commerce, sothe Chamber donated two thousanddollars out of its own funds. “Ken” Rouse, next year’s footballcaptain, is waiting to attend toyour wants in his capacity as Rush¬ing chairman.
