Troendley, who went as Ne braska's representative to the na tional amateur wrestling tournament which was held at Chicago last Friday, met with i lot of hard luck in the affair, and was eliminated after but one contest. Troendley drew a bye in the first round and in the second round was matched against a Greek by the name of Felions from the Greek Athletic club of Chicago. The match was fast and. well-fought and Felions won only by a decision after ten minutes of hard work. That Troenu ley was not matched against an easy man la evidenced by the fact that his opponent won second place in the tournament in the 125 pound class, and was only defeated by a man ' name Mohelsel, who la con sidered a whirlwind of a wrestler. Troendley went from Chicago to uary, ina., wnera un w "-- the Bteel factories and smelters, and is expected to return to Lincoln within a day or so. National Secretary to Talk at Men's Meeting W. II. Tinker, a man of national reputation will talk at the men's meeting in the Y. M. C. A. rooms In the Temple. Mr. Tinker Is a man full of messages for men. It is hoped that there will be a Urge turnout to this meeting tonight at 7 o'clock. This meeting comes as the climax of the many meetings held In the Y. M. C. A. this year. Although many students have nob realized what they have been missing by not attending these meetings, on the other hand there are many who do realize their worth and are regular attendants. This opportunity may never come again to this school. It' Is hoped to make mis meeting noi only the biggest in numbers but the best in pep and interest. The slogan for these meetings Is "Come and Bring a Pal."

SAYS FREE PRESS IS MENACED BY GERMANS Journal Editor Speaks at Convocation -Eplains As sociated Press System We should be willing to fight this war if for no other reason than that if we don't, Germany will de stroy our free press as she has her own. The German press is ruled by the Krupps and the government, and diseminates much that is both false and poisonous. This was the message of Mr. Will Owen Jones, editor of the Nebraska State Journal at Convocation yesterday morning. Mr. Jones explained the workings of the Associated Press. He illus trated the various steps and the immense staff required to accom plish this monstrous work with stereoptican views. The Associated Press is not a commercial undertaking as was the United Press, but is run on a co operative plan by which all of the members send in all of the news in their territory and receive all of in terest from the other territories. All of the expenses of the associa tion are "paid by the papers on a scale according to their circulation and the population. It is obvious that the news received and sent out will be in accordance with the wishes of the reading public. The way In which the story from the first "flash" 'to the bulletin and finally the complete story Is sent over leased wires to all parts of the continent in a very short time made a fascinating story.

LOUISE POUND TO EDIT TEXT FOR SERIES OF CLASSICS Miss Louise Pound of the depart ment of English Literature has been asked to edit a text for a series o school classics, projected by an east ern publishing house.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR DRAKE MEET Competition Keen for Every Place on Team STILL NEED FOR MILERS McMahon the Choice for Hundred Yard Dash Finney, Grau, Graf, Townsend and Kretzler In Trim Nebraska's cinder path artists staged the final tryouts yesterday afternoon for the team which will make the trip the Des Moines this week. A large number of men were out to contest for the places on the various relay teams, and the com petition in each event was of the keenest sort. No records were broken, however, and the men seemed content to win and save all of their surplus energy for the crucial test next Saturday. Harold McMahon, who is to enter the in vitation 100-yard dash against some of the classiest sprinters of the country, did not run in any but the century run, and even there did not overdo himself, winning with a 10:2-5 time. Finney was an easy victor in the 220 dash, while Grau won in tho 400-yard run making the dis tance In 47 seconds flat. Uryon McMahon. who is considered the best quarter miler that Nebraska has, was not out last night and will have to run against time to night in order to qualify for that race. In the mile the question of who will be the fourth man on the team is still somewhat a matter of con lecture. B. McMahon.- Graf and Kretzler are certain of places, but what to do for tne otner man nas been a matter that has given Coach Stewart considerable worry for the last few weeks. There are several men who are out for the place, but unless a man is able to make the mile in something better than 4:50 there is little use in sending a four mile relay team to Des Moines. Eller bach and Davis are both showing up pretty well, and Hansen is also a possible candidate for the posi tion, but as yet Dr. Stewart has not announced whether or not any of these men would be sent. Freshmen Showing Up Well The freshmen out on the track squad are making a very respectable Rhnwiner this year and if they are all here for next season Nebraska should turn out a mighty good track team. Danforth, who was the star of the Omaha high school team last year, is making a nespecially good showing and if it were not for the eligibility rule which forbids the run ning of freshmen, he would undoubt edly make the varsity team this year. A summary of the results of yes terday's tryouts follows:, 100-yard dash. Time 20.2 seconds. H. McMahon, first; Danforth, sec ond; Meegan. L. H. S., third; Rhodes, fourth. 220-yard dash. Time 24 seconds. Finney, first; Townsend, second; Grau, third; Schellenberg. fourth. 400-yard dash. Time 47 seconds. Grau. first; Townsend, second; Yort, third; Bryans, fourth. Mile run. Time 4 minutes, 44 seconds. Graf, first; Kretzler, second; Eller bach, third; Davis, fourth.
