On the New Campus
I
This is a typical scene on the new campus of the University of Ne
braska. From Twelfth to Fourteenth streeta and from the Temple to
Bessey Hall the situation is very much the same.
Unsighty alleys, clothes-lines, ash .heaps and wood pilea form the set
tings for such dignified structures as the Social 8cience Building and
Bessey Hall.
The University la trying to expand upon a campus cluttered with
rubbish. Dilapidated buildings and tumble-down shacks take up room
which would well be ntilized for drill grounds, athletic fields, tennle
courts, botanical and pharmacy gardens and above all, a campus with
uome breathing space for students.
The removal of these buildings must come in time, why not now?

came back to Lincoln with five med
al.". two gold and 'three silver.
Troendly and Pucelick are the proud
wearers of the golden badge while
silver emblems adorn the breasts of
Monte Munn .Wertz and Pickwell.
The Nebraska University grapplers
made a remarkable record. Omaha
entered nineteen mat artists who suc
ceeded in annexing two firsts, three
seconds, and three thirds. In all,
fifty-seven "contestants were entered
in the meet which was one of the
largest of its kind in the country.
The National Amateur Wrestling
Tournament in Chicago last year drew
118 entries.
Troendly had no trouble in handling
everything in the 135 lb. class. He
won his four bouts in four minutes;
fourteen seconds; 25 seconds; four
minutes, and got a fall out of every
man. Pucelick and Monte Munn
went around in the heavyweight finals
and Pucelick finally won by decision.

round by a fall and the second by de
cision but was downed by McClow of
Norfolk after a hard scrap in the
finals. Pickwell pinned his men in
the first two rounds In jig time by
body scissors, but went down before

TWO HUSKFRS WIN
POINTS IN MEET
McMahon Gets Second in 440
Graff Takes Third in the 1,000
Yard Handicap.
Eryans, McMahon and Morearity
Placed in First Three Heats
of 50 Yard Dash.
Captain McMahon and Glenn Graff
were the only two CornhiiRkers to
bring home points from the Indoor
Meet or the Kansas City Athletic club
held in Kansas City Saturday. "Mc"
allowed only Murchison. the St. Louis
speed marvel, to distance him In the
440, while Graff took third honors lu
a race which set a new world's rec
ord. Bryans, McMahon, and Moreari
ty placed in the first three heat3 of
the fifty yards dash and both "Mc"
and "Mory" placed in the semi-fiK.'s.
Graff won third place in the 1,000
yard handicap from a large field of
contestants. Joie Ray, cha.npioh
mtler, from the Illinois Athletic club,
was the star in this race, whi'.r. Stout
of Chicago University took second
honors.
From the Kansas City Star
The hundreds that attended the
nnnual K. C. A. games in Convention
Hall last night expected some efforts
extraordinary and they were not
disappointed. Joie Ray. champion
miler; Carl Buck, champion pole
vaulter; Joe Murchison, the St. Louis
ppeed marvel who adds to his honors
at every meet, gave their best and
that best was spectacular.
The Illinois Athletic club star dupli
cated his performance of a year ago
in the 1.000 yard handicap by lolling
back, letting the field of six string out
in front and then by a 3-lap stretch
on high, overtaking and leaving be
hind tired runners who a moment
before believed victory theirs.
Last night in a special 1,000 yard
race Ray had a little more opposition
than last year. Joe Stout, a rangy
runner fro mthe University of Chi
cago, made the chamrlon stretch o
beat him and pressed him In '.'ie
Itandicap. But Joie Ray is Joie Ray
Murchison Won Two Firsts
Young Joe Murchison of St. Louis
stamped himself a star to Kansas
Citians. In the 440 yard dash he led
eight others with the shortest gap
about forty yards and in a relay
race, made victory certain for St.
Louis Athletic club over Nebraska.
The pole vault, usually a long
drawn out affair, was the center or
added interest last night. A cham
pion performed, and that champion
had to go 11 feet 8 inches before he
could induce some nifty aviators
from Kansas and Missouri and our
own W. B. Powell to give up the
contest.
It was in the relays that the crowd
saw action. In seeing Kansas trim
Missouri in the final event it saw
Dewall, a star Kansas miler, running
second, widen a gap that the fancied
superiority of the Tiger runners In
third and anchor positions could not
make up. It was the work of De
wall that gave William Omar Ham
ilton a broad grin at the expense of
one Henry F. Shulte.
The sprints were close. Joe Murch
ison showed his class In the 50-yard
open In a style that made the crowd
forget its disappointment in not see
ing Sergt MaJ. Robert Carnie, a
war hero of the Gallipoli campaign,
win a medal. The soldier, who was
relieved from duty at the front be
cause of wounds, showed class at
that In a trial sprint he was nosed
out by Gallagher of K, S. A. C. the
lad who pressed Murchison In the
finals.
