For PHILIP MORRIS is the ONE, the ONLY cigarette recog­ nized by leading nose and throat specialists as definitely less irritating. Remember: Less irritation means more smoking enjoyment for you.

First of all, gentlemen, let us see to it that there is no i-epetition of that hammed-up "Spirit of West Point" atro­ city. If you're going to tell the story of Notre Dame and Notre Dame football, stick more or less to the facts. As a case in point, we might mention the scene in "West Point" in u^hich Earl Blaik is shown on the verge of hysterics because Blanchard has been hurt and he has nothing better than Ug Fuson to throw against the humpties on Army's sche"dule. A corresponding scene in a picture about Notre Dame, made by the usual Hollywood formula, would have students leaping headlong from the Dome because Lujack's ankle had been slightly hurt before the Army game of '46.
