In opposing the thirty-hour scholarship
conference rule which was adopted last
season The rule provides that any ath-
lste TO be eligible for participation must
have successfully carried thirty hours OF
work during his fret year Of fifteen
hours q semester.
All OF the Missouri valley schools ex-
cept Nebraska were strong for the rule
last season. but Drake has found that It

and last week It's representatives voted
TO take up action attempting 10 rescind
II, As II requires a tbree-fifths vote to
pass. the rule will probably be held up,
as Drake and Nebraska are both opposed.

twenty-four hour rule back In operation.

outs for the cross country squad viii be
held next Wednesday.
