Who is THE SPOTTER?
Somebody Has Been Spying on H. S.
Students, 1t Is Said.
Where is the spottcr2


This is a question that has been
asked time after time in the high
school fraternity and sorority circles
ir Topeka this week.
IF the school board puts any spot
tiers on the stand in the sorority case
there will be somebody beat up next
week" boastfully asserted a youthful
high school student this morning.
We have been looking for this spOtter
for some time and if we find out who
il is there will be something doing.
We don't want our NEE iEgs spied
upon. 1 guess we have a right to do
what we please"
II is claimed by several of the high
school students that this alleged spot
ter has been operating for some time
in order to get evidence on fraterni-
ties and Sororities. There are many
sore spots on account of this spotter
and If there is any such animal the
high school students want him to
know that his life is in danger.

Columbia, Mo, Dec. 29.-Studies
made by o. r. johnson, of the college

MILLER DEFEATS OLSON EASILY IN
 STRAIGHT FALLS
Prodiglo'ls Strength of Lo- cal Wrestler Too Much
 for Oklahoman.

Vic Miller, the home product, last night defeated Young Olsen of McAl- ester, Okla. in straight falls at Mrest- ling. getting the first fall with a double wrist lock and face hold, in 45 minutes, and the second fall with neck hammer lock, in IS minutes
 The feature that remained most prominent at the end of the bout, was tho superior strength of Miller. Ol- sen had a dozen fine holds on the To- cal boy, during the match, yet each time Miller appeared to have no trouble in breaking them, by sheer strength. Olsen appeared the quick CT. and against a man less strong than Miller, would have been return cd an easy winner, being apparently quicker and more intimately acquaint cd with many holds. Miller's strength won the bout for him, though this is not to be taken as an indication that he is not fully as clever as Olsen. it being very likely he found no great need to try anything but the many variations of the hammer lock.
 It was as clean and fast wrest- ling match as has been seen any where. The Gem theatre was filled With spectators, and a goodly sprink- ling of ladies was present. Absolute ly nothing occurred, in incident or speech. that would mar the feelings of any one, and there is little doubt that the bout was a most successful premier to the series which it open cd here.
 Before the bout started, Mayor Si- mon Bloom informed the audience the affair was being held under the auspices of the "Jinks." a side social organization of the. central trades council. and that there would be oth- CTS. the principal purpose being to raise fund to add to the efficiency and equipment of Athletic field. Pete Magazine was the third man on the mat last night, and Abe Fish man was time keeper. Each man was in fine condition when tho bout end cd. and when they shook hands, they exchanged smiles and good wishes.
 A handicap match, to which Miller was challenged by Olsen. may be ar ranged within the next week or so.
