KID" WEDGE IS FIGHTING
AGAINST DEATH
IN FRISCO
Rev. F. H. Wedge, better known
at Nobraska nfi "Kid" Wedge, Ib
sick in San Francisco. A dispatch
yesterday from the coast city stat
ed that Wedge had been found sick
in a poorly furnished room, nn up
staii'B room in tho rough district
of the city, in the neighborhood
wherp he Is shedding Ills life blood
to help save men from lives of
debauchery and ruin.
"Kid" Wedge was once a welter
weight champion boxer. At that
time he lived in Omaha. He be
came a slave to the drink habit
while In that city, later reforming
and deciding to get nn education
and save men from ruin. "Kid"
came to Lincoln and entered the
university, where ho wns helped
by the Y. M. C. A. and tho min
isterial union for a fow days until
ho could find work. Ho was soon
a changed man. Ho worked nt
"any old thing" for many days,
but when he got in better health
he was able, to get Getter Jobs.
Made- Many Friends.
Wedge made many friends in the
university-- - Ho told-.the-BtQryofj
his life to local students, and while
a student In the U. of X went out
on Sunday to preach at various
small churches near the city. He
waB willing to do any sort of hon
est work that he might earn money
to aid the downfallen manhood of
the cities. It was while at Xe
braska that he decided to give Ills
life to the rescue of men of the
BllltUB.
San FrnnclBco has felt the ef
fects of his per8onol work. He has
saved - men by the wholesale,
straightened them out, clothed
them, uald for their meals when
he could only afford one meal a
day. and fought sickness with the
courage or a patriot. And now In
IiIb illncsB ho Is being cared for at
a hoBpital where he, with the as
sistance of nurses and doctors, is
fighting against death. His life
is almost burned out because or his
efforts to Bavo men from mortal
death. The cohl on his lungB keeps
him gasping ror breath.
Visited by Men He Helped.
His ninny friends, men whom ho
has Btived from aln, tip-toe Into tho
room where ho Bleeps, o look
upon the man who has been their
friend. A month ago some of these
snme men reo.led into his quar
ters dirty and drunk, but he
cheered them, fed them, got them
jobs and made honest laborers olit
or common drunkards. Wedge Is
engaged to be married, but his
sickness is so expensive that the
wedding JtesUtttteajuay be far ia
the future.
"But I'll come out of this all
right," Ib tho message he sends to
his friends, with (the same cheery
optimism with which he cheers
young men to moral victory. "Kid"
Ib known in San Francisco nB the
" 'lighting pastor.' who makes men
out of nnimals.
would bo Installed In tho university.
As explained by Dr. Elliott, this di
rector must be an expert In religious
work, and one with sulllclent expoi'i-i
ence to adapt himself readily to his
requirements. As proposed by tho
plan, this official' must direct the work
or both the Y. M. C. A. niftl the Y. W.
C A.
The only associations 'n the mid
dle west at present that are operating
on this basis are Minnesota, Michigan
and Wisconsin. Tho sclioojs at present
being niOht Insistently urged to adopt
the same are Nebraska, Iowa and Il
linois. Tho plan Is receiving favor
able considerat'on from all or these
Institutions. "Dad" Elliott gave a
very detailed presentation of the
plan at the board meeting yesterdny.

UNLESS (OLE HIMSELF IS NAMED
HARRY HAS SEVERAL OFFERS
FROM OTHER 8CHOOL8.
But He Is 8trong for Nebraska and
Has a Host of Friends in the
Cornhusker Insdtutlon.
Rumors on tho campus yesterday
had It that Harry Ewlng, assistant
coach of the roocball team during
I he paBt season, wus tho probable
successor or Coach Cole as an all-year-round
coach of university ath
letics, if Cole hlmseir Is nbt selected
for the position.
Ewlng played varsity football for
threo years hud was ono of tho best
till-around lino men Nobraska oyer
had. Ah assistant coach ho has had
charge of tho freshman team and has
succeeded in turning out one of tho
fastest organizations the first year
men have ever had.
Wlhllo Harry Ewlng has had soveral
flattering offers or coach positions by
other schoolB, some or them In the
Missouri valley, ho Is strong for Net
braska and would rather be hero than
anywhore else.
Athlete Boosts Ewlng.
" OnoTr tlio "N'nTon" oTThls year,"
who, by the way, wll bo bnck next
year, said: "I believe Ewlng Is as
good a man as can bo found ror tho
place. Ho certainly knows football,
and tho wny he handled thnt team of
first-year men allows thnt ho knows
how to handle men. ir he gets the
place I havo no fear of the outcome ot
next year."
A prominent upper classman, one of
tlio most confirmed rooters, had this
to offer: "I would like to see Ewlng
selected as coach. If anyone enn pre
eervo the stnto of harmony which
now exists among tho players, he cer
tainly can, for there !b not a man on
the team, or in tho whole school, for
that matter, who has not a friend in
Harry Ewlng. As rnr as ability Is
concerned, he has more thnn proven it
during the past rour years."
The names or all the candidates
ror the position or all-year coach havo
not been given out. There is a strong
Impression that Cole, while he may
not be actively soeklng the appoint
ment, may be named first and asked
te accept afterward.
