NEBRASKA GRAPPLERS
Oklahoma A. & M. Team Falls Before
Cornhuskers Score Is
39-11.
The Nebraska grapplers defeated the
Oklahoma A. & M. College wrestlers
last night by the score of 39 to 11. A
large crowd witnessed the first big
wrestling match the University grap
plers have participated on the local
.nat.
The Huskers out generated their op
ponents in nearly every match of tho
evening and were superior artists a
the game at all time. The first match
between Swim and Bingston was de
clared a draw, neither man having any
advantage and both wrestling hard.
In the 125 pound division McCollough
lost to Power of Nebraska on a de
cision. Both men were about equa'ly
matched but the decision was awarded
Power in the final bout.
Long brought the crowd to their feet
by his wonderful display of agility in
dumping Frost in the 135 pound di
vision for the first fall and wrestling
the other two bouts to a draw. R-?e;l
was awarded the decision over Nash
in the next bout. Captain Locabow
was given the decision over Pickweli
of Nebraska in the las two bouts or
their match, thereby winning the
match.
Sensational Match.
Troutman and Volli wrestied the
sensational match of the evening.
Both men were equally matcLed and
the bouts were hard fought through
out. Troutman was awarded the deel
sion when the extra periods were com
pleted. In the heavyweight division
Captain Hoyt of the Nebraska team
had no difficulty in disposing of Wil
liams. Both falls were obtained by
the head-lock route. The first com
ing In 49 seconds and the next in 1
minute and 20 seconds.
The Nebraska wrestling team should
bring home a long string of honors
when the Huskers go to some of the
big meets that Dr. Clapp, the wrestl
lng coach has entered the team for
"Barnstorming" Methods Used in
Late Nineties.
Smashing all previous records for
the number of votes cast, the second
semester general elections came to an
exciting close when the results of the
contest were annouced from the regis
trar's office. The official canvass
showed that Lawrence Shaw won the
fight for Ivy Day orator, while Hadley,
Wythers, Boyer and Edna Dippel have
been selected to lead the four classes.
Record Vote Cast
Almost 1,700 votes were cast when
the polls closed at 5 o'clock and tho
lired campaigners left Social Science
Hall with a cheer and another hand
diake. No one would even venture a
guess on the outcome until the official
returns showed that majorities of the
successful candidates ranged any
where from five to over 200 votes. At
no time during the time when the
polls were open did the crowd quiet
down, and at times the four or five
hundred onlookers had to be cleared
froni the halls in order that classes
might be carried on.
In an even and uncertain congest,
Lawrence I. Shaw won the honor of
delivering the Ivy Day oration from
his two competitors by a majority of
forty votes. Richard Hadley received
a complimentary vote of 161 votes for
senior president. Hadley was the one
candidate for head of the fourth-year
class.
Junior Election Exciting.
The junior class contests furnished
the most excitement for the cam
paigners, and the fights for president
of the class and editor of the Corn
husker were closely contested. Roy
Wythers ran over a hundred votes
ahead of Guilford, his opponent
Randol nosed Ross out for editor by
forty-four votes. The vote on editor
was closer and the successful candi
date was less than fifty votes in the
lead. Adolph Wenke becomes the
new managing editor and Ray Stryker
the new business manager of the
Cornhusker as a result of the elec
tions. Harlan Boyer won a smashing vic
tory in the sophomore fight and led
his opponent by 213 votes. He re
ceived the largest majority of any
successful candidate. Edna Dippel
received one of the highest compli
mentary votes cast in any general
election. Charles Adams carried off
the honors ia the freshman publica
