PESEK IS ALSO DUE TODAY Ready for his first tangle since his disappointing go with John Olin last December, Joe Stecher, the Dodge tanon, is expected in Omaha today lor his clash tomorrow night at the Auditorium with Charlie Peters, the Papillkm carpenter. Stecher, according to the more or less meager reports which have trickled out of his training camp at Dodge, is in the very best of con dition as good condition as when he met Strangler Lewis last summer. The neuritis, which gave him so much trouble and which necessitated a pro longed visit to Excelsior Springs last month, is said to have entirely disap peared and Joe is once more able to stand the roughest kind of a grueling without the necessity of protecting bis arm and shoulder. This bids well to make the clash tomorrow night an interesting one. Charlie Peters has announced his in tention of mixing it with Joe. Charlie hasan idea that the "keep away" tac tics of Lewis and Olin are of little value. Such a scheme of battle may prevent Stecher from throwing him, Charlie reasons, but it would give jaqw'ig Moaif) 04 nutip ou sjjjsj And Peters wants to throw Stecher, not ' merely stay a couple of hours with him. As Stecher is never in clined to avoid a mixup some excit ing scrambles seem to be scheduled for that Auditorium mat tomorrow night. Pesek Also Expected. John Pesek, the Buffalo Countv marvel, is also expected to arrive in Omaha today. Pesek is coming to Omaha determined to show the citi zens of the metropolis that he is some baby at the wrestling game. He has been training as diligently as if he were to be one of the principals of the main attraction, and, according to those who have seen Pesek work. Omahans will see a real wrestler when they cast their optics over this latest Nebraska phenom. The seat sale continued to be brisk all day yesterday and prospects are bright for a f 10,000 house, which would be by far the largest that ever attended a wrestling match at the Auditorium. Happy Hollow Golfers Think Spring Has Come The proverbial robn never had a thing on the Happy Hollow golf bugs when it comes to rushing the spring season. The Happy Hollow aggre gation got a two-month start on the robin yesterday, five of them hiking but to Charley Johnston's links to knock the gutta-percha around the course. B. N. Robertson, S. W. Car der, G. M. Graham, Joe Polcar and W. H. Butts constituted the quintet of golfers who couldn't wait for Mav and they reported the course in pretty decent shape except in the valleys and around the creek where the land is still sofe and some snow on the ground.

Senator Moriarty Presents Gavel of Historic Wood (Prom m Staff Correspondent) Lincoln, Feb. 7. (Special.) Sena tor Moriarty of Douglas county arose to a question of privilege this morning and presented the lieutenant governor with a gavel made from a willow tree which had been a part of the material from which the first white man's building had been erected in this state. The presentation was made in behalf of former State Senator Jeff Bedford of Omaha, now county commissioner of that county, who was present when the presentation was made. According to Senator Moriarty, the building from which the gavel was made was erected by the John Jacob Astor exploration expedition when it, passed through Bellevue a century ago. On its return it stopped at the place and made the building its head quarters. Later the btiildin" was used for a mission. Later the first Nebraska Masonic lodge was organized in this building and the first Master Mason of the lodge was Henry T. Clarke, who made the gavel for the centennial of the building in 1910. Mr. Bedford received the gavel from Mr. Clarke. In accepting the gavel Lieutenant Governor Howard said that he cher ished the site of Bellevue for its beauty and for the fact that there he picked a "beautiful flower of woman hood" for his helpmeet thirty years ago. .

THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1917 MEDICS TO ENTER AMBULANCE WORK Students of University School of Medicine Offer Services to President Wilson. TALK BY DR. BANISTER Fifty students of the University of Nebraska School of Medicine pledged their services for the formation of an ambulance company Tuesday after noon following a meeting called by Dr. C. W. M. Poynter, head of the department of anatomy. Roy T. Maurer, elected temporary secretary, pending the military formation ot the organization, telephoned the names to Chancellor Avery of the University of Nebraska, who was asked to offer the services of the organization to the president About 150 students were present at the meeting and- all seemed anxious to join. No seniors were taken owing to the fact that in case hostilities started the upper classmen would probably be advanced to higher posi tions owing to the fact that for the last two months they have been tak ing special work under Dr. J. M. Ban ister, retired medical officer, now on the retired list with the rank of colonel. Special Course for Seniors. Dr. Banister attended the meeting of the deans of medical schools called by the War department recently In order to outline a special military medical course for alt seniors. The course is now a part of the curriculum of the seniors at the. medical school. A number of the faculty at the Uni versity of Nebraska School of Medi cine are members of the reserve medi cal corps and subject to call for mili tary duty. They are: A. P. Stokes, W. E. Eggers, A. A. Johnson and Lynn Hall Practically all of the students who enlisted have had some military train ing either in high schools or at the two-year pre-medic course at Lin coln, which is one of the requisites before beginning on the medical work here. Even if their services are not need ed, the students plan to continue the ambulance organization and will ask that some regular army man be de tailed to drill them so that they might be prepared for any emergency. Dr. Banister was one of the prin cipal speakers at the mteting, his talk being on the nature of the work the students would probably be re quired to do should they be called upon for active duty. liltlMtllllllllllllllllll'lllllllliSIIIIIIHIIIIltlllllllllllllltllUliaillH I Thursday Special I Men's Gun Metal : I Dress Shoes, in lace 1 or button; $3 value, I pair . : 1 $2.39 illiiltiinflnliittitiiliilitaiiltitiiliiliitiiliiinMlMlnniliiliiaiiiiiii Made To Measure means made to fit you and a perfect fit you will get, combined with excel lent materials and fabrics.
