THE DAILY NEBRASKAM
GRAPPLERS TO
TRY OUT TODAY
Husker Matmen Will Hold
Meet Between "Var.ity"
and "Second String"
A wrestling tryout will be held at
four o'clock this afternoon in tlie
Coliseum between the "Varsity" and
"second string." The bo called Var
sity is a squad chosen as showing up
the best so far this season. The sec
onds will be those who are regarded
as the next promising. Freshman
material may be used on the second
squad.
Dr. R. G. Clapp will not do any
actual coaching this year. He will
merely supervise the work. Three
coaches have been appointed for this
year. Claude Swindell will work with
the light men, John Kellogg with the
middle weight men and B. F. Oakes
with the heavy wrestlers.
Dr. Clapp will go to New York for
a meeting December 29 and SO. He
will represent the wrestling associa
tion of the Missouri Valley. The
coaches of other schools are going to
send in suggestions to Dr. Clapp and
he will present them at the national
meeting.
The wrestling team this season will
be handicapped by lack of exper
ienced material. Brannigan is the
only letter man from last season.
Lundy, a letter man of two years
ago has returned and will be eligible
for competition. Luff, 135 pounds
and Karrar, 125 pounds had exper
ience in last year's meets.
Dr. Clapp expressed himself as well
pleased with the schedule for this
season. It is harder than usual, but
the meets are well arranged, the
easier contests coming first and the
hard ons toward the end of the sea
son. This should help the Husker
squad, because it will give the inex
perienced men a chance to get ac
quainted with the tricks of the game
before the stronger contests.
IOWA STATE DROPS
BOXING ACTIVITIES
Lack of Coach and Lack of Suitable
Opponents RoapontibU for
Discontinuing Sport
Amea, Iowa, Dec. 15. Special:
Boxine doves and the roped arena
are doomed to pass from the list of
athletic equipment at Iowa State fol
lowing the dropping of the ring sport
from intercolloirinte athletics. A com
bination of circumstances, including
inability of the Iowa State officials
to secure suitable opponents for the
Cyclone mitt men, lack of competent
coach and other circumstances ac
count for the passing of baxing from
Iowa State.
Boxing has been well supported at
Iowa State, since it was put on the
list of intercollegiate athletics four
years ago. the meet with Notre Dame
last winter drawing one of the largest
crowds that ever witnessed an indoor
event here. The resignation of Mike
Chambers, boxing coach, in favor oi
Ohio State left the Cyclone ring men
without an experienced boxing in
structor. During Chambers' s.ay the
Iowa State boxers ranked among the
best college boxers in America. Wes
Clampitt, great Cyclone heavyweight,
and Dick Cilley, 115-pound South
American, were two unusually good
leather pushers produced here. Cilley
ranked as the leadincr 115-pound col
lege boxer in the country during the
two years he wore the colors for
Iowa State.
Kaasas Aggies, old ring rivals of
Iowa State, are planning to discon
tinue boxing next year.
entire service which was the last of
this year's vespers. Yule-tldo carols
were sung by the choir. Katherine
Dean and Frances Bolton gave a
vocal duet. Master Richard Fleming
lighted the Christmas candle, which
symbolised the light and joy that
Jesus rought into the world.
The Christmas story showed how
the true Christian spirit was brought
into a wicked man's soul. The story
as told by Mr. Ramsay had for its
main character a man called Esau.
Esau Unger was interested only in
his own selfish gains and was loved
by no one. His wife was a meek
creature with a drab personality.
Twenty year's submission to her hus
band's dominance had broken her
spirit.
Day Before Chriatmaa
It was the day before Christmas
when Unger's wife mildly suggested
that they cut down a spruce and give
it to their Door neighbors, the Fin-
neys. Her husband harshly rebuked
her and reminded her that he was
saving the trees for his own personal
use.
Esau was working in the wood
shed when his neighbor and renter,
Mr. Finney, walked in. Finney in
formed Esau in trembling tones that
he was unable to pay the rent be
cause one of his children was sick.
The tears and tragedy written on
the man's face did not move the cold
heart of Esau.
Later in the afternoon, Esau took
his ax and began to chop down some
of the trees situated on a hillside.
As he was working, his foot caught
on a root, and he was thrown to the
ground, in the path of the falling
tree. The weight of the tree pinned
his body to the earth. There was no
hope of escape.
Not Worth Saving
His hope was renewed when he
heard approaching foot steps and
looked up into the face of Finney.
Yet this hope soon died when Finney
informed him that he was on the way
to get the doctor for his sick child
and that such a man as Esau was not
worth saving, anyhow.
The sound of Finney's retreating
stops struck like blows into the soul
of Esau. He was doomed to die.
With his approaching death, his mind
began to dwell upon the sins of his
past life.
The reappearance of Finney be
wildered him. Why had he como
back? What was it that made a man
come back to save his enemy? Sud
denly the, answer came to his be
numbed mind. It was the spirit of
Christmas and Christianity.
Esau staggered hme and went
jnto the kitchen where his wife had
been waiting for him. In a voice
she had never heard before, he told
her to fill a basket with food and
presents which they could take to
the Finneys. In his hand was a
spruce which he had just cut down.
"We are going to wish them a
Merry Xmas," said Esau, "Ain't they
human critters just like we be?"
Lawlessness Is Shown By Nation-wide

Iowa City, la., Dec. 15. Lawless
ness and flagrant disrespect for law,
caused mainly by the condition of
public sentiment, constitutes the most
serious problem at present confront
ing the country.
Such is the conclusion drawn by
the National Economic League after
its national council had voted on a
preferential ballot. According to
Professor Harry G. Flum, professor
of history at th - university of Iowa,
this council is made up of a body of
men in each state, selected as leaders
of public opinion.
Administration of justice, however,
is only thirty votes behind the lead
ing problem. Practically in a tie for
third place is the world court ques
tion and the prohibition problem,
with the edge going to the former.
An abnormal amount of lawless
ness is present in the United States
now, according to the leaders who
voted on the ballot. The prohibition
aituntion is listed as the chief cause
of the condition of public sentiment
Other causes of the condition of
public sentiment are lack of proper
nihirntion. with its subheads, lack of
juvenile training and parental con
trol and lack of emphasis on citnen
ship in schools; aftermath of World
War, character of laws and ineffi
ciency of courts, Indifference of cit
izens, too much prosperity and scl-
f ishnoss, laxity of morals and lack of
religion and attitude of public press.

practices of the past week.
Captain Smaha and Brown as for

freshmen. After a few minutes of
play, Elliot was placed at center,
Klepser at forward, and Andreson

combination used the evening before.
The freshmen made a good show
