Nebraska's military experts inland in the 131 pound pairing:, it's
the gentle art of grunt and groan
had a field day last night in the
Coliseum, when members of thf
AAF detachment and the ASTP
met on the mats in the prelimi
naries of the trainee wrestling
championships. Under the watch
ful eye of Wrestling Coa::h Jerry
Adam, the boya showed plenty of
scrap and experience in last
night's matches.
The entries were open to all
men stationed on the campus,
with the classes running from 124
pounds to heavyweight. There was
a noticeable predominance of Air
Corps men in the preliminaries
and in the semi-finals and finals.
Due to the OCS shipments, and
the impending departure of Class
14 of the 348th crew, some of the
semi-finals, and one final match
were run off. The rest will be
completed Friday night, with the
exception of several which will be
moved up because or tne men
leaving.
Schmidt Takes Heavies.
The one final match was in the
heavyweight division, where
Schmidt ( AAF), a husky 200
pounder, took over Starostki
(AST), a scrappy 170 pound
grappler, 4 to 3. All of the
matches were five minutes long,
divided into 1-2-2 minute periods.
The other semi-finalists in this
group were Shank (AST) and
S. K. Smith (AAF).
In the 178 pound class, Perry
(AST) and Good (AAF) reached
the finals. Semi-finalists in the
168 group were Bartholomew
(AST), Matz (AAF), Hymas
(AAF), and Kenney (AAF).
Hirsch and Taussig, both AAF
advanced to the last round by
wins over Ness (AAF), and Capa
ferri (AST), in the 158 division.
Four Air Corps 148 pounders
made the semi-finals, Kelsey,
Isca, Greer, and Wilson.
AST vs. AAF in Four Finals.
The 139 pound finals pits Lap
son (AST) against Davis (AAF).
Green (AAF) versus Murray
(AST). The finalists in the light
v.'i glit 124 pound classification
are Feree (AST) and Robberts
(AAF).
Some spirited semis and final
matches are in store for grap
pling fans Friday night. Espe
cially in the 178, 139, 131, and 124
brackets, where Air Corps and
AST men are paired in the finals.

Death rattle: B-2 English
themes on "How the AST Could
Be Improved" showed that the
trainees biggest objection, to the
program was compulsory evening
study hall. Other pertinent sug
gestions: The army never made
clear what we were learning these
subjects for; AST is through, any
how, so why talk about it.
Spring topics: The marriage of
Henry Oldham which disrupted
his whole section. He passed big
black cigars.
The frankness of the lad called
before a noncom to check his rec
ords. "What were you before you
went into the army?" "A civilian."
"Well, what would you like to do
now?" "Be a civilian."
The fellow who started talkinc
in his sleep one night, suddenly
grabbed one arm with the othei
hand and shouted, "What the hell
is this doing in here?"
Questions of the week: 1. "But
who knows where or when?" 2.
Do blue star generals outrank
three stripe generals?

UNION BALLROOM
I Had the Craziest Dream.
The psychology of dreams is a very interesting subject
so they say. Dreams may foretell the future or reflect the
past here's one on the future of the ASTP.
It seems that C Company's Bill Hall was in the front
lines, fighting against the Nazis it was a terrific scrap. All
around him bullets zipped by, the steady whoosh of mortars
filled tlje air, screaming shells tore into the earth and blew
men and equipment to smithereens. The loud explosion of
grenades, the nerve-wracking pounding of the big guns
back of the line, and the roaring fires started by enemy
tracer bullets made a mad inferno of the battleground.
Through it all Bill kept pumping lead at the Germans, when
suddenly he was hit by an arrow. Poor Bill, he was so
humiliated that some Nazi Robin Hood had nipped him that
he refused to go to the hospital for treatment and died
on the spot.
But all of Bill's dreams don't end up so tragically
sometimes he figures them out and manages to outwit the
powers that be. For a month straight the same nightmare
haunted him he was driving his car along and when he
came to a curve on the edge of a cliff, he couldn't quite
make it, and he, with the car, would plunge over the preci
pice. Bill being a rather clever fellow, doped out the solu
tion -after a couple of weeks of tragedy. When he came to
the place in his dream just before they hit the curve, Bill
would open the car door and jump out.
