KOn Campos Mwllhvdmn I (Author of “Barefoot Boy With Cheek," etc.) Pancho Sigafoos, pale and sensitive, first saw Willa Ludovic, lithe as a hazel wand and fair as the morn, outside a class in money and banking. “Let us not hem and haw,” said Pancho to Willa. “I adore you.” “Thanks, hey,” said Willa, blushing prettily. “What position do you play?” “Position ?” said Pancho, looking at her askance. (The askance is a ligament just behind the ear.) 7:45 a.nr. “On the football team,” said Willa. “Football!” cried Pancho, his lip curling in horror. “Football is violence, and violence is the death of the mind. I am not a football player. I am a poet.” "So long, mac,” said Willa. 5:30 p.m. 6:00 a.m', “Wait!” cried Pancho, clutching her lissome young forearm. She placed her foot on his pelvis and wrenched herself free. “I only go with football players,” she said and walked, -shim mering, into the setting sun. $19.50 $ 4.00 Pancho went to his room and lit a cigarette and pondered his vexing problem. What kind of cigarette did Pancho light? Why, Philip Morris, of corris! $23.50 Philip Morris is always welcome, but never more than when you are weary and sore beset. When a fellow needs a friend, when the heart is dull and the blood runs like sorghum, when darkness prevails, then, then above all, is the time for the mild ness and gentleness that only Philip Morris can provide. Pancho Sigafoos, his broken psyche welded, his fevered brow cooled, his synapses restored after smoking a gentle Philip Morris, came swiftly to a decision. Though he was rather small for football (an even four feet) and somewhat overweight (370 pounds) he tried out for the team—and tried out with such pluck and perseverance that he made it. Pancho’s college opened the season against the Manhattan School of Mines. The Miners were always a mettlesome foe, but this year, strengthened by four exchange students from Gi braltar who had been suckled by she-apes, they were especially formidable. By the middle of the second quarter, the Miners had wrought such havoc upon Pancho’s team that there was nobody left on the bench but Pancho. And when the quarterback was sent to the infirmary with his head driven into his ribcage, the coach had no choice but to put Pancho in. Pancho’s team-mates were not conspicuously cheered as the little fellow took his place in the huddle. “Gentlemen,” said Pancho, “some of you may regard poetry as sissy stuff, but now in our most trying hour I can think of no words more apt than these lines from Milton’s Paradise Lost: ‘All is not lost; the unconquerable will and study of revenge, immortal hate, and courage never to submit or yield!’" So stirred was Pancho’s team by this fiery exhortation that they threw themselves into the fray with utter abandon. As a consequence, the entire squad was hospitalized before the half. The college was forced to drop football. Willa Ludovic, not having any football players to choose from, took up with Pancho and soon discovered the beauty of his soul. Today they are seen everywhere together-dancing, holding hands, smok ing, smooching. Smoking what? Why, Philip Morris, of corris! The makers of Philip Morris, to ho bring you this column each sseek, remind you that the perfect companion to watching a foot ball game is today’s gentle Philip Morris.
