the winter conclave of the asSocia-

Three District Of Columbia uni
versities, Catholic u, Georgetown
and George Washington are
prominently mentioned to fill the
vacancy in the conference left by
the withdrawal of Virginia last
year, thus cutting the membership
to IS schools. The loop, under its
present constitution, limits the
body to Is representatives.
Of the three District institu-
ticns, Catholic u, because of its
athletic relations in all sports
with members Of the Southern
Conference, looms as the probable
choice of the member schools, to
fill the vacancy.
The Cardinals carry on the
same sports program as that estab-
lished in the Southern Conference,
namely football. basketball, box
ing. baseball and track, and have
complete facilities for staging
athletic contests right on the
campus, thus discarding rental
ami concession fees to a third
party, a paramount point in the
discussion for admittance into the
group.

BUTTE''S DIARIES
WIN AT BOHEMIAN
FOUR FIRSTS, A SECOND AND
FOURTH PLACE AWARDED
BUTTE

The first four places in the natural
milk contest and second and fourth
places for pasteurized milk were award
ed Butte diaries and pasteurizing plants
in a contest conducted during the win
ter months by the Montana State
college dairy department.
Chance samples Of milk determining
results in the contest were sent to
the Bozeman institution unbeknown
to the dairymen.
Scoring in the contest was based on
flavor, lack of sediment, bacteria count,
butter fat and the cleanliness and san
itary condition of containers.
Especially pleasing to DR.. Morrow
"a the fact that out of % samples
submitted by John Eminger, city in
spector for the Butte district, 20 of
the samples scored 80 percent Or better
in the contest. DR.. Morrow stated that
this is the second year straight that
Butte diaries and pasteurizing plants
have been placed in the top ranks in
state competition.
In commenting upon the showing
made by dairy operators and pasteur-
izing plants in the mining city district,
DR.. Morrow said that the splendid
results were made possible only through
the local corporation of city and
county health authorities and the
wholehearted cooperation of dairymen
of this district.

Goes-to-the- Right Pease, Crow
Beauty, Is New Airline Hostess

It's no cinch playing the role of a
modern Ziegfeld among the Crow In
dian reservation bevy of brunettes.
At least that is the experience OF
A. H.. Croonquist, former secretary of
the dude rancherS association, who was
designated by Northwest Airlines to
select the company's first flying hostess
with plans to put a touch of the color
full west into the cabins of planes oper-
ated by eastern air lines.
After three weeks of work, Groom
quist finally selected Bethauath Pease
or "Goes-To-The-Right;" '18-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs! Ben Peese
of Lodge Grass, as the first flying
Indian hostess. "
When the Crow princess. left Bill
lings for New York City by plane April
8 It wa her first flight: -.
The selection of 'Bethauaths was made
only after C~roonquist had experienced
difficulty in signing up one of the Grow
agency "debutantes" and moved over
to Lodge Grass to make his choice.
Croonquist first selected Alice Deer
Nose, stately sister of Grow superin-
tendent Robert Yellowtail, but Alice
decided to keep her moccaSinS on the
ground. Further search split the res
ervation into parties with several can
didates for the honor. BY elimination,
Croonquist then selected plump but
picturesque Myrtle Big Man, 21-year-
old daughter Of Max Big Man, for the
role. But she also later declined the
honor and the former dude secre-
tary moved camp" to a different Sec
ton of the reservation to make his
selection.

Victory
Unpopular.
By HYDE IGOE

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Lou
Ambers, the worlds lightweight
champion, has something to think
about regarding his retention Of
his title in the future.
He won his ten.round fight
against Davey Day, of Chicago,
last night in the New York Hippo
drome, but the crowd didn't like
it. They hooted and howled when
the champions hand was raised
in token of victory.
It was nip and close all the
way. Day was just a bit too
cautious at the start, seemingly
overawed in the presence Of the
champion. He was solid and
tense and couldn't unleash what
he had. He took many good raps
the early rounds. particularly in
tfe second and third but started
to get his bearings in the fourth
round when the two, in a clinch.
went to the floor.
After that Davey was himself.
He went after the champion and
the crowd yelled for him to finish
his man. But he didn't follow it
up in the next round and it was
an evensteven affair as was the
seventh.
But, in the eighth, Day took the
thing in his own hands and again
earned the round and the cheers.
He poured rights and lefts on the
champion and Lou was a weary
person when the bell rang.
