(LARK WAS THE FRESHMAN STAR Freefor All Battle Decides the Con test 8ophomore8 Win Mara thon and Tug-of-War. The sophomores were vlctorB In Saturday's Olympics by a score of 78 to 25. It 1b generally agreed to have "been the greatest class. scrap over held at the university.. Although the soph omores have such a lurge score, the result was always In doubt until the -blg-"ovent was over, for the "freshmen won their share of the earlier eventB. Preceding the contest, Dr. G. B. Condra, to whom Is mainly due thd credit for the origin of the Olympics at Nebraska, made a short address. Ho said that tho contests wore to take the place of the objectionable contests of the past. He asked thp two classes to agree that .only tho winners should wear class caps, and - both sldeB were willing to do so. He Introduced Chancellor Avery, who waB received with great enthusiasm. Dr. Condra said he was the first Nebras ka chancellor who could understand the Btudent viewpoint. Chancellor Speaks. Dr. Avery made a humorous ad dress. He said he had detailed two surgeons from the medical department to look after the wounded. He showed the cowbell he had taken from the .campus light and announced -that -It would be given as a trophy to tho winning class. The first event was the lightweight wrestling. Glen Ruby, freshman, won easily from S. A. SwanBon in two straight falls. D. A. Wachter de feated Olo 'Metcnlf, tho sophomore representative in lightweight boxing. Frank Clark proved a star for tho freshmen. In tho next events, winning both the middleweight and heavy . weight' wrestling events. His oppon ent In tho middleweight event was Farley, a 'man with some reputation as a wrestler, but -Clark throw him In straight falls-, each taking about 15 minutes. M. W. Bly was tho sopho more entry In the helvywelght wrest ling. He outweighed. Clark some, but Clark was more scientific and won both bouts, "fn 12 and G minutes, Clark winning 10 of the freshmen points. In the heavyweight boxing, Seidell won, for the sophomores over Koslt sky. It was a slugging match, Ko sltsky being knocked down three - times in the first round and Seidell was sent through tho ropes twice. -Ray, freshman, was glverilho deci sion In tho middleweight boxing on points, although the crowd thought that L.anders,sophomore, had. won. Jack Bostrefereed the boxing and 0y tr pinndn thn wrnallnfr Tho marathon was easily won by tho sophomores. Anderson,) Bates and Clark finished In the order named and captured all points for the Becond year men. Anderson's time was 13:28 3-5, over a two and a half mile course. The tug-of-war also went to the sophomoreB, who had a more ex perienced team, The Battle Royal. , The battle royal was tho next event. Jt did not come off till 11:30, nlthough tho contests began at 9:30. The two opposing classes were lined up on the athletic field about ,50 yards apart. Three men from each class were sent to the middle of tho field and given hold' of opposite ends ,of a six-fOQt square canvas, which was the object to be fought for., At a signal from the referee the men dashed wildly for the cloth'. They hit with an awful thud. There were about 200 on each sido. They were fused Into one huge ring of struggling students, squirm" ing, pulling, pushing, all trying to get hold of the canvas. The dust wna choking, and made it almost impos sible to see all of tho battle. On the outskirts of tho crowd were minor tussles, sophs and freshies holding each other away from the main fight. The sophomoreB finally succeeded in getting the canvas over their line and were declared winners. They were better organized 4ind better ac quainted with their own men. The freshmen did not seem to know Just what they were doing, nor to know all of their own men. 8ophomore Parade. After they had beon declared, win ners, tho sophs paraded tho streets, with tho cowbell at tho head. The people of Lincoln had never seen such a parade, shirts torn to shnttors, trouBer8 ripped or torn clear off at the knee, dirty and unkompt, some with various small red blotches whore they had received slight scratches and everyone Blnglng, "Cheer, cheer, the gang's all here."

There was a large at' tendnnce of students, on the bleach ers, a majority of them being, co-eds. FRATS PLAYING DALL i Members of the Greek Letter Teams Playing Off Scheduled Contests.
