START RIFLE SEASON
WITH THREE MEETS
Team Faces Opening of 1925
Schedule Under Handicap
of Little Practice.
The Nebraska rifle team opened
the season of 1925 last week when
three of the scheduled matches were
shot off. Examination week hind
ered the practice of most of the
members of the team and the scores
are not expected to be as high as
tinder ordinary circumstances. The
team is composed of six letter men
from last year.
Matches last week include tele
graphic meets with Iowa State at
Ames, Delaware University at New
ark, and the Oregon Aggies at Cor
vallis. Fairmont College at Wichita,
Kansas, was scheduled, but the match
was cancelled on account of lack of
facilities at the Kansas school.
Now that the examinations are
over the squad will have a better
chance to get into shape for the re
maining matches. Among the letter
men to return is Skinner, captain of
the wrestling team, who is devoting
considerable time to the shooting
gallery. Other letter men include
Currier, Lammli, Lewis, Dover and
Captain Roberts.
With the return of William Cej
nar to school this semester, there
are better prospects for the team.
Cejnar was one of the best prospec
tive men on the freshman squad last
season. Other men of quality who
are making an effort to make the
team this season include: Mark Fair,
Paul Treadwell, and Victor Foss. As
soon as the men get their time ar
ranged more men are expected to be
out. Last semester there were forty
five men out for practice regularly.
The schedule this season con
sists of thirty-one matches. Besides
the matches for this week the sched

"I'm willing to meet all challengers
of my title, but not all cheap publicity-seekers."
That is the way Wayne Munn,
former Nebraska athlete and recent
ly crowned heavyweight wrestling
champion of the world stands on the
mi put inn of his abilitv to retain nis
title.
"I know I rose rapidly in the wrest
ling world," "Big" Munn recently
said. "But I was in condition and in
nerfect health, as I had been since
leaving the University of Nebraska
in 1917. And with only a few ex
ceptions, newspapers and the wrest
ling public all over the country have
aaccepted me as the new ch-impion."
Munn started his professional
wrestling career in New York City,
February 12, 1924, in a match with
William Beth. He threw his oppo
nent in five minutes and started on
his march to the championship. Com
ing west, he wrestled more promi'
nent grapplers, including Dugid,
Lundin, and Toots Mondt.
I.pss than a vear Inter than his
first match, the Cornhusker won from
Strangler Lewis in Kansas City, on
January 8. The victory gave him
the championship of the world.
"I wrestled anybody who would
meet me," said Munn, "and I won
comparatively easily from each of
them. However, I never 'played'
with an opponent as some people
have said. I always went in with
the definite objective of winning the
bout as soon as I could.
The reason that I sometimes
seemed to be toying with a wrestler
was because I was sparring for the
proper opening. You might compare
it to a basketball using a five-man
defense. For instance, the team is not

KANSAS LIGHTWEIGHT
WINS THE ONLY FALL
The Cornhusker wrestling team
went down to defeat in their first
meet of the year when they encount
ered the Jayhawks of the University
of Kansas at Lawrence Friday eve-:
ning. The final score was 11 to 6.
The Nebraska team was weakened
by ineligibilities, and by injuries to
three of the men who were expected
to carry off honors, but the two
teams broke even in six of the seven
matches, each team winning three de

was in the first match, when Skinner
of Kansas pinned Blore of Nebraska
with a body scissors. Captain Dale
Skinner of Nebraska, winner of the
class championship at the Western
Intercollegiate championship meet
last year, won the 145-pound bout
from Rcidul of Kansas with a time
advantage of six minutes, four sec
onds. The summary of results:
115 pounds Harry Skinner, Kan
sas, won from R. E. Blore .Nebraska,
by a fall with a body scissors in 10
minutes, 30 seconds.
125 pounds Captain Rueben
Stanton, Kansas, won from G. C.
Mincer, Nebraska, time advantage of
11 minutes, 4 seconds.
135 pounds John Botsford, Kan

going to open up their defense just
to find out if their opponents will
take advantage of it."
The hue and cry usually attendant
on an upset in any sport followed on
the heels of Munn'a victory over
Lewis. Cries of "Foul !" from Lewis'
manager and cries of "Frame-up!"
from the part of the public which
believe that Munn's victory was im
possible, have split the air.
The champion,, however, denies
any relationship whatsoever with the
so-called "trust." In his own words:
"I entered the wrestling game be
cause I knew I was well-fitted fori
it. I had shown ability in the Uni
versity and was sure I could follow
it up.
"After all, why should every one
howl about my rapid rise? Must a
wrestler who absolutely has the
goods be compelled to go through a
tedious, weary-some sort of appren
ticeship before he reaches the rank
of champions? I had the necessary
qualifications to defeat the cham
pion that is all there is to it and
I will meet any wrestler in the world
whether he is a prominent one or not.
Like any new champion, Munn has
been besieged with challengers from
all sides. Recently a Lincoln wrest
ler, weighing one hundred and forty-
five pounds, issued a challenge to
Munn, staffing that the champion
could not throw him in the same time
that he threw Lewis, twenty-one
minutes.
"His was just a cheap publicity
stunt. All of these would-be chal
lengers are looking for a lot of pub
licity and that is all they are going to
get. The world knows that I am
ready to meet anybody. If any of
these challengers can get their chal-
enge in the hands of a promoter in
a large enough town, I will gladly
wrestle him."
Munn wTestled his shortest match
against a grappler named Beaver.
The match lasted just sixteen sec
onds. Munn saw his opening and
followed it up and ended the match,
using his great strength and size to
good advantage. I
He weighs 265 pounds when ready
for the ring, and stands six feet six
inches high. The champion was a
letter man in three sports at Nebras
ka while he was a student. His com
petition was limited to one year, how
ever, because of the war.
I entered the University in 1916,"
says Munn, "and played on the fresh
man football squad and went out for
track. My size and strength even i
then were of great value to me and I
far above the average athlete.
In 1917 I was a sophomore and play
ed Varsity football, wrestled, and
competed in the weight events on the
track team.
"Then I entered the war and didn't
return to University. After I came
back from the service I went to work
for an oil concern in Iowa. But fol
lowing the suggestions of many
friends whe declared I should go back
to athletics, I entered the boxing
game.
Munn's success in the prize ring
was not so pronounced. In fact, it
was rather denounced. He boxed a
few matches and then met an oppo
nent who did him up in such a
fashion as to change his mind about
boxing.
"So I gave up the fight game," he
said. "1 went in for wrestling and
so here I am."
The champion is on a vaudeville
tour for only a few weeks, with the
option of continuing if he wishes.
He chose Lincoln as his starting
town, and moved to Kansas City after
the performance here.
His contract with the theatrical
firm allows him to wrestle at any
time. His match in Chicago will be
followed by one in St. Louis, when
he will perhaps return to the stage
again for a short time.
As Gabe Kauffman of Kansas City,
Munn's manager, says, "We may not
have the greatest man in wrestling
today, but we are certain that we
have a man who typifies more than
any other athlete the true American
sportsman and citizen."

other serious drawback will be the
weather conditions, for at that xime

and the weather hot. The fact that
Norman is not centrally located in

TF you are a good soldier, you take orders from
the major. But there is a great deal of differ
ence whether you find the training an irksome
routine or an enjoyable development.
When you follow the right major in your course,
the work can become vitally interesting, and your
college career will be more worthwhile.
"But what is my right line of work?," may be
a puzzling question. All the thought you can give
to finding the answer will be fully repaid. Analyze
yourself and you will surely discover your natural
aptitude.
And when you've found what line you feel you
ought to follow, stick to it. Stand by your major
and your major will stand by you,
