WASHINGTON WOULD LIKE
CONFERENCE CROSS COUNTRY
The University of Washington is
advocating an annual cross country
race between the Universities of the
Northwest to be held in a place cen
trally located as possible. This form
of contest is extremely popular in the
eastern colleges and the only draw
back that Washington fears might
prevent it in the west is that admis
sion could not very well be charged
and some other means .would have to
be suggested in order to meet the ex
penses of the visiting teams. There
is a large number of good distance
men in the northern college and they
feel confident that they could main
tain their prestige in that form of a
meet.
The senior law students of Drake
University have voted to grow mus

the price of a shave in spite of the
hardship that will devolve on a few.
