Clinton bowlers journeyed down to

of the fact that the losers had men

TO MEET AUGUSTANA

Augustana will meet Gustavus
Adolphus college of st. Peter, Mimi,
in a two-game series of basketball at
the college gymnasium this week, the
first tilt to take place tomorrow
night. A great deal of interest is
being manifested in this series as
the outcome of it will decide the
championship of Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota conferences. Gustavus
Adolphus is a sister of Augustana' s,
being controlled by the same church
body. The st. Peter team has cleaned
up about all the college fives in Min
Eesota and is in line for the cham
pionship of that state. A quintet
from the University of Minnesota
defeated the G.. A. C. lads by a mar
gin of only two points. Coach Hayes
expects to send strong combination
against the Minnesota men and has
been training the boys carefully for
these tits. Captain Anderson will
no doubt be back at his place at
guard, after having been out of the
game for three weeks as the result

Robb, who performed so brilliantly
in the Monmouth game, will not be

squad. Lund is strong and fast
player and will add much strength
to the Lutheran quintet He will be
used either at guard or center. Last

WRESTLERS TRY
To STAGE BOUT
Nicholson and Brondel, Prin.
cipals in Big Wrestling
Match, Near Blows.
HELD APART BY FRIENDS
One Thinks He Has a Cinch and the
Other Resents Statement
VIII Be Hot Affair.

That the Nicholson-Brondell wres-
Ting match tonight is to be no tame
affair was evidenced yesterday after
noon when the wrestlers came mighty
close TO mixing it at the Illinois the
atre. One of them made the asser-
ton that he sis confident of victory"
and the other Immediately assumed
the aggressive. Had it not been that
there were nearly dozen wrestling
fans lined up there the pair would
have gotten together and settled the
little question of supremacy without
waiting on an audience. The Greek
demon had gone into the theatre to
settle few matters regarding the ar
ranging of the mat and a few other
minor details of the affair. While he
was there the idol of Davenport wres-
tledom entered the theatre for some
like purpose.
KIND o. CARELESS, LIKE.
They exchanged one of those brief,
curt "howdy" signs. For about SO
seconds peace was supreme. Some
one said something. Then it was all
of. The demon glared and gritted his
teeth. Brondell clenched his fists and
seemed ready to go for a strange
hold, there being no referee present
Finally friends persuaded them to de,
sist from their foolish pursuit of bat
tie and again peace reigned.
NO ALPHONsE-GASTON ACT.
But the little incident goes to show
that this little match that is to be the
whole thing on the program for this
levenings wrestling event is going tc
be no "I'H slap you on the wrist af
fair" but one in which both contest
ants will put forth every ounce O
strength and use every trick in theil
wrestling repertoire. The winning o.
the match means a great deal to either
man as far as the future is concerned
Nicholson seems to have little shade
the best of the predictions today. Tha
is, he says he has. He claims to have
gotten Brondells goat before thu
match has even started.
HARRY Is THE CANDY.
However, Brondell and his friend
have no fears as to the final outcome
They will back Harry to the last ditcl
and think that he can turn the demon
over on his back in short order. H
turned the trick once before after
struggle of two hours. This time h
intends to finish the work before hir
in double quick order and win for him
. self the title of champion welterweigh
wrestler of the middle west.

= The rivals weighed in this mornin
and the scales showed both men owe
weight. Nicholson was 14SA, just
quarter of a pound over the Welte
: weight limit, and Brondell was 1901
i two pounds and a half over the mar
