Returning Football Vict0rs Laud Good

OF Montana Students.

1--WE want to hand it to the students
of the University of Montana for be-
ing rar good sports and royal enter
tainers." This was the sentiment I'M
animously voiced by the members of
| the football squad who returned Sun
day afternoon from Missoula, where
they defeated the lauded institution in
a hard-fought game.
The men report hat Montana hos
pitality started when they were carri-
ed to the football field in automobiles.
1t ended only when the victors were
sejt away with a sincere slap on the
back and the best wishes Of the van
quished.
The most satisfactory and enjoyable
entertainment was provided through
out the stay of the Gem State Huskies
in the neighboring state. 1t is re-
ported that the men were particular
ly impressed with the friendly attitude
of the co-eds, who seemed to instinct
lively recognize an Idaho visitor, and
greeted him with a cheerful word and
a sunny smile. The attitude of the
entire student body is said to have
been one Of frank good will and fell
lowship. At the dance, to which the
players were invited, on the evening
following the game, it was noticed by
the Montana people that the Idaho
folks, because of their lack of ac-
quaintance with the cO-educational
contingent, had many opening dances
in their programs. Every dance fol-

VACATION BEGINS
THURSDAY MORNING
Students Desiring to Leave Before
That Time Must Secure Reg.
ular Leave Of Absence.

The official Thanksgiving vacation
for the University will not start un
til Thursday morning, according t.
an announcement issued Monday by
Dean j. G. Eldridge. All who desire
to leave school before that time will
be required to procure the regular
leave of absence, or suffer the pen
atty of having the grades of all Gloss
es missed lowered 10 points for the
semester.
'In regard to the rumor extant
among the students to the effect that
classes will be dismissed Wednesday
afternoon, l will say that it has no
official foundation" stated Dean Ed
ridge. 'There have been so many va
cations already this year, that such a
proposal would not be looked upon
with favor by the faculty"
Many Students to Leave.
Reports indicate that a large num-
Der of students plan to spend the
Thanksgiving holidays at their homes.
These include the majority of the
northern Idaho people, very few of
those from the south deeming it worth
while to make the trip down for the
short time allowed.
1t was asked that it might be an
nounced, however, that all who had
no classes on Wednesday should feel
at liberty to leave if they SO wish.
This, because some students were of
the opinion that no one would be al
lowed to leave the campus until the
beginning of the official vacation.
