A Long-Distance Quartet.
In the long distance runs only ono
or two experienced mon aro loft to

two-mile races.
In tho hurdles tho coach will again
be handicapped. MacDonald, tho cap
tain of tho cinder 'path athletes last
year, has been a mombor of tho var
sity team for three years and there
fore he will be unable to participate
with tho team In any of the inter
collegiate meets this year. This leaves

tho best high-stick man in the Mis
souri Valley for tho past two years.

in a real sneak day. The freshman
class ddclded to join in tho movement.
The seniors did not take definite ac

reported to Dean Hastings in tho
afternoon by two seniors. Tho dean
immediately expressed his disapproval
of the plan. Ho talked to alt tho

which so plainly violated tho regents'
rule regarding skipping.
In the evening a Ijasty meoting was
called to discuss tho dean's request,
and about fifteen of tho law students
attended. After, much discussion jt
was decided to abandon the plan.
However it was not known whether
everyone would agree with tho senti
