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.

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.

day night and it is to be hoped that
there will be a good numoer oui i
welcome him.

Freshmen Meet "Aggies" First

UNIVERSITY MEN
OUTDO LINCOLN FIVE
High School Champs Given Little
Show in Practice Round at
Armory Saturday Evening
The closing number of Nebraska's
basketball program is being run of
this week with the freshmen crew
mixing it with the first year men of
the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan last
night and tonight. 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.

to some of the boys who have re
mained behind, as to what others are
doing."
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

Corporal Greeg has had many gifts

cently, one of them being a small

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

band is doing a great deal to give
Inspiration to the soldiers and also
to rheer the souls of the wounded
