Do You Know What An Engineer
Is? If Not, Come And Find Out
The general public thinks of an en
gineer as the individual who drives
the locomotive which puUs the rail
way train. Do you know that Web
ster will not bear you out in your
thought that the locomotivo diiver
is an engineer? Do you really know
what an engineer is? Did you ever
stop to think how many times and
in how many places you come in con
tact with him or his handiwork? The
writer will wager quite a sum of
money that you have no conception
of the number of ways in which you
do come in contact with the engineer,
in everyday life. Any one can tell
you what a lawyer is and what he
does. He makes lawa of course and
then expects you to comet to him for
advice as ito how to break them and
not get caught at it. But an engi
neer is much more important For
instance, we presume you get up in
the morning. What awakens you?j
A device perfected by the engineer.
You may hate him at the time but
when you get to class on time you
thank him. You have slept during
the night on a bed designed and
made by an engineer. The clothes
on the, bed and into which you hur
riedly scramble were made by ma
chinery designed and made by an
engineer. Even the colors of the said
clothes were made by an engineer.
You go to ihe bath room and if you
are of a thoughtful turn of mind you
will be amazed by the things In
which the engineers' brains and skill
are observed. Everything there,
even the water which makes the bath
room possible, is the result of Ihe en
gineer's work. You go down to break
fast and look about you on the U.b"e.

NEBRASKA HIS
CLDSEJGOHTEST
Second Victory This Season for
Nebraska Wrestlers in West
ern Intercollegiate Assn.
TROUTMAN REVENGES
LAST YEAR'S DEFEAT
Two Squads Tied at End of Sixth
Match But Renner Gts the
Winning Decision.
By winning from the University of
Iowa, 28 to 22, Nebraska grapplers
von their second victory in tba Wes'
ern IntercoKegiate Wrestling and
Fencing association, Saturday night.
At the end of the first six matches
the score was deadlocked, 2 to 22.
Renner, in the heavyweight class, ob
tained a decision over Heldt of Iowa,
in the last event which placed the
meet in Nebraska's win column.
Pfeffer, Iowa's 115- pound grappler,
won from Pickwell of Nebraska after
they had gone the limit of eighteen
minutes. Pickwell had the advantago
by a few seconds at the end of the
regular 12-minute period and won the
first three minute period after by a
slight margin but Pfeffer was behin?
him during the entire time of the sec
ond three minute period and was
given the decision.
Vana, Iowa's 1225-pounder, dropped
De Ford after 3 minutes and 50 sec
onds of wrestling. De Ford was much
faster than the Iowa boy but lack of
experience allowed him to put him
self into a hole and the more ex
perienced grappler pinned him.
Captain Sweeney won fram Isaac
son of Nebraska in 2 minutes and 45
seconds with a head scissors and bar
arm. Thomas, of Nebraska, won the
first points for the Scarlet and Cream
when he flopped Jacobson of Iowa in
9 minutes and 45 seconds. The Hus
ker grappler was on the offensive all
of the time pushing the Iowan off the
mat and carrying him back.
Captain Reed Wins Decision
. Captain Reed of Nebraska was able
to win a decision over the much tout
ed James of Iowa after staying behind
his man 11 minutes and 26 seconds
of the 12 minutes.
A feature of the meet was Trout
man, of Nebraska, in his victory over
Hunter of Iowa, the 175-pound phen
om. Hunter threw Troutman at the
Western Intercollegiate meet last year
and the Cornhusker carried the n";m
ory of that defeat into his bout Sat
urday night, pinning the flashy James
in 8 minutes. Renner, Nebraska's
heayweight, planted p. sensors on
Heldt of Iowa in the first few minutes
and dug to him through thruout the
period. Renner was able to put the
heavy Iowan's shoulder close to the
mat a number of times but he broke
loose each time. The Cornhusker
heavy was on the point of making the
Iowan's shoulders kiss the canvas for
keeps when the final whistle blew.
