At eleven o'clock the fortunate ones availed themselves of positions in a host of private cars and a large sight-seeing bus, driving *o their destination “en masse" where they immediately dined.
A real {hilarious time was enjoyed from beginning to end, with the opportunity to forget the many student affairs left behind. Other than eating, which seemed to be the mos‘ enjoyable part of the day, many games and a special number or two with dancing in the even ng, supplied

Fur is flying, or perhaps cotton, at the Whitecotton Hotel ln Berkeley today where the representatives of the Pacific Coast Inter-Athletic Conference institutions are fighting out the what and what-nots of Western athletics for the next year. Several of the representatives went up loaded down with axes to grind. There are a number of bones of contention between some of t|ie Universities. Nothing has been given out officially, but there has been plenty of whisperings here and there and the inside dope from “those who know” has been sufficient to warrant the bel ef that something of a mild verbal tornado is now in process at Eerkeley.

at 8:15, in Bovard Auditorium.
This Biblical play is composed of three acts and seven scenes, all vividly impressionistic because of the intense action, and the ancient costumes and settings. The drama is specially appropriate for this Christmas season, as it shows clearly the nfluence upon all humanity of God's greatest gift to the world It tells
of conditions in Europe, particularly Russia, where he has been a frequent visitor. Some twelve or fifteen other leaders of equal calibre have also been lined up for the week.
