The Daily Nebraskan VOL. XVII,- NO. 114. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. LINCOLN. TUESDAY. MARCH 10. 1918. PRICE FIVE CENTS illTISTS UTESLHOHS University Grapplers Engage in Interesting Bouts DALE ANDJAUNN DRAW Heavy Weight Unable to Gain Decl ,ion In Saturday' Tournament and Title Goea to Lyman Wrestling was the 'word and held renter of the stage In University athletic circles last week-end. and with the advent of the annual all University wrestling' tournament last Saturday afternoon in the Armory. The matches on the whole were fast and classy, and the mat artists ihowed the effects of their tutelage of Coach Otoupalik by exhibiting a real brand of mat work. Some of the best work of the afternoon was that of H. P. Troendley who made easy work of all the men In the 125-pound class and not satisfied with that staged an exhibition match with Klndig. the winner in the 145-pound class. Dale and Munn Draw The heavy weight "class which w as expected to furnish a good deal of excitement, was rather a failure in this respect, and poved to be some what of a disappointment to. the spec tators. Dale and Wayne Munn went to it for the regulation five minutes without a decision and did the same for an additional two minute. As aelther seemed anxious to continue the affair any longer, the decision was given to Lyman who was the other contestant In that class. Each of the winners will be given silver medals In addition to the regu lation wrestling jerseys. Doctor Clapp and O. B. Anderson of the V. M. C. A. were the referees, Keefe and Svoboda the timekeepers, and L. Shaw acted as clerk.

START GRIND NEXT WEEK Return of Coach Stewart Expected to Bring Schedule of Hard Work for Football Men Dne to the fact that the Govern ment Inspection of the Cadet regiment takes place this morning which neces sitated a report of all the men last night for a practice inspection, the first spring football practice did not bring out the number of candidates that was expected. Those in charge are not In the least worried however about the prospects for a lively Fpring workout and the development of a great deal of good football material for next fall's big drive. In all about fifteen men reported last night for the w'ork, and put In the time at spring time practice, and In doing time around the track. Very little else could be done owing to the absence of Coach Stewart who has gone to Manhattan with the freshmen basket ball team, as well as to the fact that the Cadet regiment was using the field from five o'clock on for a practice inspection. The athletes took a good workout and the prospects are that there will be a large number of can didates for the varsity crew out before the end of the week. It Is planned that later on. after the men are more hardened, that regulation football equipment will be Issued, and the war riors attired in the full war regalia, will be put through the strides of blocking and dummy-tackling and very possibly some light scrimmage v,ork. r. Qtownrt will be back by Wednes day night and it is to be hoped that there will be a good numoer oui i welcome him. The Whlskbroom. the first Girls Book of the University. Is out thlsj morning and will be ready for sub scribers at the Student Activities' of fice from 9 until 5 o'clock today. About seventy-five copies will be on I sale at tables In the library and Uni versity hall. The book consists of fifty-six pages the first section being a literary sec tion, and the second, labeled "Straws." the location or the "knocks." The complete publication Is dedicated to "Our University Soldiers." The work Is a credit to Theta Sigma Phi the publishers In that Its members have handled practically all of the work themselves both editorial and business. The first section contains several poems strikingly fitting to the University, deep in meaning and mes sage and characteristic of the best thought of University women. "Straws" Attract Attention The second section of "Straws." however. Is the real pride of the co ed journalists and also the first sec tion to which the student turns when he get his hands on -the long-waited book. The section Is good. The present year has been one of the hardest years with which Dame Gossip has had to contend for some time and yet with this disadvantage nearly thirty four pages have been filled with apt criticism of campus affairs and habitants. t ittia Homo such as "Glossary of Campus Tennis." "Ballad of ye eight o'clock," "What's what on the cam pus," "War's hell." "Alphabet of stu dent celebrities." "Isn't it strange that?" and a report of the Nebraska Accident Insurance Company are packed In the section and fortunate is he whose secret Is not exposed and held before the curious public.

The Aggies trimmed up the Nebraska yearlings a couple of weeks ago and the latter are out for sweet revenge with the prospects that they will stand a good chance of "reaping it. By way of a little practice the freshmen took on the champion Lincoln high school five for a lively battle last Saturday even ing in the armory. There was little to the fight however after the start for the varsity bunch easily walked away with the Lincolnites. Lamb was about the only man on their crew who could do anything and it was through his efforts alone that the high school boys were able to score. For the freshmen Bekins, Patty and Newman were the stars.

Former Nebraskans Make Record An Idea of what Nebraska men are accomplishing and have accomplished outside of their native state Is given by a letter recently received from M E. Cornelius. '07. '09. In which he ... ... .... T - "In last nights ew lorn c ing Sun I noticed two hear-line ar Whles. both printed on the same page and prominently displayed regarding two old university men oue v...-.

The article concerning Greer con tains a description of the way in which h struggled from tie student ranks of Nebraska to become a de signer for Lady Duff Gordon and then to have his dreams "punctured by the uaniOH to draft last June shortly after be bad reachedUhe age of 21. . The article reads in part: "About two years ago at this time Howard Greer was a Junior In Ne braika University. His father owned a b!g farm near Lincoln and young Greer contemplated a secure but un exciting future on the old family p'ace. A year ago Howard Greer had taken a big Jump. He was estab lishing a place for himself as a de igner of gowns for Lady Duff Gor don, who Js th- '--Hie of upper cruft dressmakerdom. Now after another swift change of careers voung Greer Is Corporal Greer of the Machine Gun Company, 307th Infantry, and wears his blue overalls with as much style as any other ma chine gunner ta the whole canton ment, which U no style at all. It was a funny Idea for a Nebraska farm boy to get. but Greer wanted to draw pictures of ladies In fancy gowns, to design dresses of soft and curving lines." He attained the ambition and in a short while became the designer for New York's aristocratic circles. But when the draft came Greer was among the early numbers to go and found his way into the machine gun company of the 307th New York infantry where he was soon made corporal. Vnv that- he is In uniform and set tled into the army life, young Greeg ia iraon for the war work and is I t i tn the other side. '"One of my ambitions was to go to I i.r! and studv deslCTlng there with , Paul Polrct." said Greer. "It seems now that I am raiea io ku iw r anchor nnrnoe. Now tnai 1 IUI ,. am aervinr m V country I am im r.,tint tn rt tn the other 'side and see at close quarters this dreadful A..t ihor r war. I am not lliuuntvi ...w vnrrvine about the result." Corporal Greeg has had many gifts - hin MenA tn New York re- cently, one of them being a small im.iz, hnnnri in nft leather, sent to him htf Nora Bares. Hayward Is now Colonel William Hayward of the 15th New York regiment (colored) and Is now in France. A letter from the colonel tn Alfred Johnson. New York City Chamberlain, states that the vil- York 15th is considered "one of the best outfits In France out of .11 the armies" His band be takes particular pride in and appends with the letter an appreciation from a director of one of the hospitals in Mrh it Is Indicated that- the colored band is doing a great deal to give Inspiration to the soldiers and also to rheer the souls of the wounded In the hosi'ltals. Previous to his engagement a coloneL Hayward was formerly coun il to Governor Whitman of New York and also a public service commissioner.
