UNIVERSITIES TO HAVE ROUGH
 RIDERS

Bozeman, Mont, June r. - Cow puncher" cavalry as a feature of mili- tary training in western state institu- tions. notably state universities, will be undertaken with the opening of the autumn terms.
 At a recent conference between President J. NJ. Hamilton, of Montana State College, and Captain Penney Ross, [. s. A., of the general staff, plans were outlined for the organizd- ton Of cavalry company at that college. and arrangements were dis cussed for spreading the movement among western colleges. The Uni versity of Wyoming, at Laramie, was among the institutions cited as par ticularly favorable ground for the project
 Captain Ross said that the United States government was prepared to supply the mounts needed and to look after their care and maintenance and that uniforms and equipment also would be furnished. It was only ne cessary for the school he said, tC provide stable room for the horses.
 Whether the company is organized at Montana state depends upon the number of students who volunteer for the cavalry company. Captain Ross said that 50 would be a desirable number, but that the company would be organized if no more than 35 are willing to join.
