Sioux City. March l5.-Seventy- Ave
young men students of Morningside
College including many of the schools
leading athletes, Tuesday forced their
entrance into the college gymnasium in
an effort to witness two of the girls
basketball teams compete. The men
had been forbidden permission TO wit
ness the contests between the girl
teams Of the school, and their rush
ing tactics last night was an answer
10 the refusal.

gymnasium at the request OF Miss
Salome Leechauer physical director,
she enlisted the aid of DR.. A f. Craig.
president o. the school. DR.. Craig ad-
dressed the young men and ordered
them to report to him before entering
chapel yesterday.

home two OF the young men caught up
with him and asked that they be given
a hearing last night. The president
consented and the boys met with him
at his office.

that the refusal to permit them to wit
ness the basketball contests between
the girls was made necessary on ac-
count Of an agreement reached be-
tween the various colleges OF the stare,
whereby the young men are not to
watch the girls play basketball. All
Of the big colleges OF the state have
signed this agreement.
Following the conference the stu
dents appointed q committee, made up

Merchants in the section Of the
country affected have placed the mat
