He was operated on last Tuesday and

a star on the Ansley High School

6tate high school touranment here in
the spring of 1919.
Last year, Dobesh was a member
of the freshman basketball, baseball
and track squads. Although a new
man on this year's basketball team.
he showed considerable promise and
was exceptionally valuable because he
was a hard and consistent worker.
Last year was the first season that
he had done any track work and he
made an excellent showing In the polr
vault. He would probably have made
a strong man on the Nebraska track
team.

NEBRASKA WRESTLERS
TO CLASH WITH OWA
Huskers and Hawkeyes Will Grapple
Either Friday or Saturday of
This Week.
The Nebraska wrestling team will
meet the University of Iowa grappler?
in a dual meet at Iowa City either
Friday or Saturday night of this week.
Dr. Clapp has been putting the team
Mirough some stiff workouts the past
week and reports that the team wil
he in first class condition to take on
the Iowa grapplers.
The wrestling team has bee inside
of a new ring that has been built in
the chapel of the Armory. The rules
call for a roped ring now and Ne
braska will inaugurate the use of it in
the match with the Indiana wrestling
team here next month.
Practically the same team that
represented the Huskers in the match
against the Oklahoma A. & M. col
lege will make the trip to Iowa City.
Iowa has one of the greatest wrestl
ing teams In the Big ten this season.
Dr. Clapp acted in the capacity of
referee at the dual between Iowa and
Illinois last week. The Iowans de
feated Illinois team by the count of
30 to 12. Last year the Illinois team
raptured the Western Inter-collegiate
Tournament at Chicago.
Huskers Have Improved.
That the Husker wrestling team has
improved Is shown by the fact that
the Oklahoma team journeyed to
Ames after the meet with Nebraska
and the Iowans were only able to
beat the Oklahomans by the samp
count that the Huskers did. Ames
defeated Nebraska by a fairly good
store previous to that time.
Tomorrow Dr. Clapp will start an
elimination contest between the dif
ferent divisions of the class. The con
tests will be conducted similar to tbe
Varsity meets. The matches will b
held at the regular class hours o
3
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday be
tween the hours of four and five.

STIFF SGHMMAGE
quad Will Be In Excellent Shape for
Colgate Games Friday and
Saturday.
EASTERNERS ARE STRONG
Jebrnska Lineup Likely to Be The
Same That Faced Notre Dame
Quintet.
Coach Schissler put the Husker
Varsity squad through a stiff signal
i ractice yesterday and will scrimmage
lenight and tomorrow. The squad Is
rapidly improving in form and should
lie in first class condition by Friday
night, when tho J'uskoM mix w'.h
the fast Colgate quintet.
Colgate recently defeated Syracuse
and have a long string of victories for
this season. The easterners will mix
with the Creighton basketball team in
Omaha on Thursday evening and will
be in Lincoln on the two following
nights. Coach Schissler will scout the
Colgate-Creighton contest so that the
Huskers may have ,'some idea as to
wh.it style of play tho easterners use.
Nebraska fans will be able to gather
some idea from the results of tho
Creighton-Colgate as to just how
strong the eastern team is. The Hus
kers displayed their best playing of
the season against the Notre Dame
agregation last week and Coach Schiss
ler reports that the team Is improving
all the time.
Will Use Same Lineup.
The Husker line-up that will face
the Colgate team will be practically
the same as started against Notre
Dame. Captain Bailey and Newman
will be at the guard positions and
Bekins will fill his regular place at
center. Smith will work at one for
ward and Coach Schissler will prob
ably alternate Carman and Warren at
the other forward. Both of these men
showed up well in last weeks games.
Coach Schissler feels that with this
combination the Huskers should carve
;wo notches in the defeat column of
the Colgate crew.
Negotiations are under way for a
preliminary contest for Friday night's
battle. On account of the expense
that is put upon the University in
briging a team of this Calibre here
Director Luehring and Coach Schissler
are making every effort to have one
of the largest crowds of the season on
hand. The usual dance will be held
after the Saturday night's contest.
University Night comes this Satur
day night and will probably affect the
attendance at the game somewhat.
Director Luehring wants every Ne
braskan at the Coliseum Saturday
who do not attend the entertainment
at the Lincoln High School.
