HUSKER WRESTLERS LEAVE
TO GRAPPLE AMES AGGIES
Nebraska Team Looks Forward
Hard Matches with. Iowa
Squad.
to
The University of Nebraska 'Wrest
ling team will leave today for Ames
Iowa, where the Iluskers grapplers
will meet the Ames wrestling team in
a dual meet.
This is one of the hardest matches
on the Nebraska wrestling schedule.
The Ames grapplers took the long
end of a 46-8 count in their meet with
the Wisconsin University squad. This
meet was held last Saturday night.
In a previous match with the Uni
versity of Indiana the Ames wrestlers
took five out of seven of the bouts.
Ames rates as one of the strongest
colleges in the west in the mat sport.
Six of the seven men on the team
are veterans and a number have two
years of varsity experience. The
school has six or eight dual meets a
year and the members of the varsity
squad receive excellent experience
from the year's work.
Beat Y. M. C. A. Teams.
In the two meets this year the
University of Nebraska has emerged
the victor with ease. The Lincoln
Y. M. C. A. team was dumped when
the Husker mat artists took every
match on the bill. Last week the Ne
braska grapplers trimmed the Omaha
association team by taking every
match on the slate with the exception
of one.
Captain Hoyt will represent the Ne
braska team at Ames in the heavy
weight class. In the 115 pound class
Bengston will wear the Nebraska
colors. Power will enter the 12P
pound class. The 135 pound repre
sentative will bo Long. Wertz or
Reed will be the pick for the 14 s
pound division. In the 158 poum'
group Gayle Tlckwell will be the
entry. Renner or Thompson will
compete in the 158 pound class.
FRESHMAN HOP TICKETS
ARE SELLING RAPIDLY
Tickets for the Freshman "Hop"
are selling well, members of the Hop
committee announced after receiving
reports from the Green Goblins who
are in charge of the, sales.
Plans for the "Hop" are complete.
A six-piece orchestra has been se
cured to furnish music for dancing.
Refreshments will be served and good
checking service has been assured.
There has been some misunder
standing about the price of the
tickets which are on sale at the
present time on the campus. The
ickets are priced at $1.00 and admit
a couple. Any reports that the price
charged is $1.00 each 13 unfounded.
The committee has brought the price
down to the low figure so that the
admission will come under the price
regulations adopted by the students.
