John I'ncelik will not accompany

. I'ridav for the second Wesltrn In-
lercillfgiale mert in which the Husk
cr will tng-ige. t'ucelilc, Huskrr
S n J tar and all-American football
player, represented Nebraska at
Northwestern lat Saturday in the
heavyweight division. No one would
meet him to Hathaway, Northwest
ern' middleweight, alto Western In
icrcollriate champion, took the
huge fluskcr on.
1 he match latr d but 1 few niitt
utcs Tucflik"! left arm, which had
been injured in football, flipped out
of the socket at the shoulder when
he wai hurled to the mat. He suf
fcred a great deal from the injury
and Hathaway was awarded the
match. Htft temporarily, l'urcelik is
of the nut game.
It is IiikIiI probable that Ber
ciui.t. I'melik's side kick at guard
, m the Nebraska arid team, will take
the All-American s place at Ames.
The loss of l'ucclik for this match
is the source of great disappoint
ment to J)r. R. O. Clapp. coacn ot
the wrcstline team. "I had hoped
to match l'ucclik of Nebraska
against Wallace of Ames." said the
llu.vker wrestling coach, they
would be a bis drawing card and it
uniilil be an interesting match."
,.. Hucelik was amateur champion of
Nebraska in the heavyweight division
iii 1919. His ability to grapple
was developed in the clays of his
youth when be lived at Dodge, Neb.
While a youngster, l'ucclik used to
tilav in the Stecher evmnasium and
troiic with no others than the fa
mous Tony and Joe. Here he learned
his grappling stunts. He is by far
the best representative that Ne
braska could put on the mat in the
Western Intercollegiate and it is a
loss to enthusiastic sport fans both
at Ames and Nebraska, that Fucelik
will not be able to go up against
Wallace Saturday afternoon.

Greb Has Most Troublesome
Weight for One Who Fights
Pittsburgh Boxer Is Too
lg and Too Little.
Harry Greb, the great Pittsburgh
boxer, and bis manager, Oorge
F.nget, are still doing a lot of won
dering as to wether or not Johnny
Wilton will ever content to going
through with hi agreement to meet
Harry in I battle for the middle
weight championhip. While Harry
inii.ts that he ran make the middle
weight limit without any dirticulty
the fight fans throughout the coun
try are skeptical about Harry mak
ing the required poundage for more
than one Uattle.
They argue that Greb would have
tome trouble bringing himself sown
for a match with Wilson, and even
if be did and grabbed the crown
from the left-liiuded champ, he could
not atav in that division very long
and be strong. They think he would
soon have to relinquish hi title and
hop back agaiu among the heavier
boys.
Greb is constructed along the
lines of the famous Joe Cboynski,
so far as weightjs concerned. The
I'UUburaher is probably too heavy
for the middle-diittance gang and not
quite big enough for the men in the
heavyweight class, or tveivthe light
Iieavvweiirht Bans'.
Jn nearly all his fights Greb has
Jecn compelled to spot bis opponents
all thc way from 10 to 20 pounds.
Battling with the heavies has been
his specialty. As a matter of fact
thc ilopcsters will tell you that Greb
is not very good when confronted
with an opponent of his own size.
The big fellows have been his
special dish for several years, yet
it is believed that lie rarely weighs
more than 105 pounds in any of his
battles. Of course, the question i
can . Harry Greb train down to 160
pounds for Wilson and be strong
enough to beat the latter for the
middleweight title?
Can He Make Weight?
When Choynski was in there bat
tling he was too small for the big
boys and too big for the small fel
lows. The Greb situation appears
to be a parallel case. Old Joe
would walk in there with the heavi
est men in the field just as Greb
Association Club
, Against Draft
Chicago, Tan. 25. Club owners of
the American association today de
clined to enter into any draft agree
ment with the major leagues. The
proposal for the restoration of thc
draft, carrying with it a price of
57,500 lof each player drafted was
unanimously , voted down. The
major leagues, if they desire to obr
tain star players from the American
association,' will have to purchase
them outright.
The proposal to amend the agree
ment between the major and minor
leagues relating to the draft came
from Judge Landis, commissioner of
baseball; President Heydler of the
National league and Ban Johnson
of the American league constituting
the baseball advisory council. Judge
Landis held that restoration of the
draft was necessary so that baseball
players should advance in their pro
fession. .
The American association mag
nates, however, declined to accept the
proposal. They declared that they
could obtain a better price for any
stars developed by selling them
rather than being forced to accept
the $7,500 draft price.
The American association is the
second of the three class AA leagues
to reject the proposal, the Pacific
Coast league having voted it down
several days' ago.

take his sister's part, and agree that
she was wicked and ungrateful.
She shuddered as she thought of

called his kisses ' and the iron grin
of his Arms. JHow dared he oh.

Ninette rose to her feet, bhe tried

one word, she burst into tears.
You poor child! . He nut his arm

her into a chair and fetched a glass
of wine from the table.
."No, .don't try to tell me anything

He left her severely alone, and
with a great effort Ninette checked
'her sobbing, she dried, her eyes and
