NO SACK SCRAP
WaShburn Freshmen Abandon
Old Practice.
Faculty Thinks Harmless Sport
Is 'sTO0 Rough"

washburn's annual sack scrap
the outlet whereby ''freshies'' and
"sophs" vent their traditional hatred
upon each other, is to be discarded.
Washburn faculty agree that it is too
rough, but that is not the objection
to it among the student council, the
student governing body. They say
that the annual crash" is too tame
from a spectators standpoint. Con-
sequently a student committee, made
up of upper classmen who are no
longer participants in the yearly
'.rassle.' is in correspondence with
leading schools in all parts of the
country in an endeavor to find a con-
test that will combine all the thrills
of heavyweight championship, an
old-style football game, and a bull
fight.
The sack scrap is fought out on
the football field The rules are
simple. At signal the opposing
classes rush for five large sacks,
weighing fifty pounds per, which are
in the middle of the field. The object
of each side is to secure the sacks
and plant them behind their own goal
posts. One minute after the signal
the sacks are covered with sprawling
contestants like swarm of bees. The
progress of the sack is very slow, and
the whole thing is tame according
to those on the sidelines.
The sack scrap is a comparatively
new innovation at Washburn, taking
the place of the old class scraps, the
cane rushes, the rope ties" which
were ruled too destructive to Wash
burn limbs and property. a1tho in
tensely interesting as a spectacle.
A plan receiving favorable consid
Grafton now is "a medicine ball scrap"
in which a huge inflated ball, six feet
in diameter, is used.
The committee is expected to make
a recommendation by the end of the
week. and the annual tangle will be
pulled off the latter part of the week.

BARRIERS ARE LOSERS
New 35 Cent Hair Cut Eliminates
Shampoo Revenues.

Topeka business men threatened to
quit having their heads washed-at
the barber shops-today unless the
BARRIERS change their new '35 cent
hair cuts back to the two Bit kind.
And the BARRIERS may have to do it,
too, one admitted confidentially.
ga man came in my shop early this
morning and got his hair cut. For
merly he always got shampoo. This
time he said he guessed he's wash his
head at home"
This was the story one barber told
today. Others said practically the
same thing. Just as many, according
to the BARRIERS, are getting hair cuts
as before the price was boosted, but
they have gone back to home remedies
for dandruff.
1--WE made SO cents per under the
old way, while we only get 35 now,
one barber complained.
The wise BARRIERS say that score of
business men are causing all the trou-
BILE and that it's just a joke. They all
agree that if it is a joke, it's a poor
one.

If you had to administer an oath

what would you do?
Albert Abdallah, whose God is Allah,
is in the county jail charged with rob
bling a countryman, Mohamet Mustafa,
of $500 He was arraigned in the court
of Topeka and one of the preliminaries
is the giving of the oath. There is a
reference to God in Christian nations
and Judge Hugh Fisher thought
that oath would not go with
Abdallah. A conference was held but
no agreement as to the best method
of procedure was reached. Finally it
dawned upon the court and attaches
that Abdallah wouldn't understand
their oath and they would not under
stand his.
Judge Fisher mumbled something
calculated to sound like an oath and
held up his right hand. Abdallah un-
derstood the hand movement and put
up his right hand. Then he mum b1ed
something that contained the word
Allah and he was sworn. Abdallah
