FOUR MATCHES FOR PETERS
Nebraska Wrestler Will Meet De-

HOLD THREE BOUTS IN OMAHA

Charley Peters will not do much roman
cling around during the next thirty OF
sixty days. For charley's manager be-
lieves in making Charley work and has
accordingly made arrangements for the
Nebraska boy to do battle with four of
the huskiest wrestlers in the business.
Peters has been matched 10 wrestle
Yousiff Hussane, the terrible Turk who
ceased to be 30 blooming terrible few
weeks ago when Joe Stecher twisted his
tail: Walter Demetral, who gained a little
additional fame the other day by biting
a photographer in Chicago; Jess
Westergaard, the big sweds from Des
Moines. and Fred Beall, the little veteran
who knows aS much about wrestling as
any man in the game.
No dates for any OF these matches have
been set. but they will all occur within
the next thirty or sixty days.
Three of the four matches wilT be held
in Omaha so local fans are looking for
ward TO something OF treat. Demetral
Westergaard and Beall will all wrestls
Peters in Omaha. The bout with Yousiff
Hussane viii be. held in Evansville. Ind.
II Peters succeeds in winning all Of
ti1ese matches-and he is regarded as a
favorite by most of the ring fans who
have followed his work-the Nebraska
boy will have established quite a reputa-
ton for himself. He has already met
and defeated in straight falls such men
as Kuvaros. Martensen. schmarder and
Plestina and all OF these chaps are good
wrestleTs.
Not content with the four approaching
matches Peters manager is trying to
get Stranger Lewis, Charley Cutler and
Young zbyszko TO tackle Charley. It may
be that Cutler or zbyskzo will take a
chance with the Nebraskan. but 1t is not
likely Lewis will. When Lewis made a
visit to Omaha last fall Peters offered
to wrestle him in public or in private. for
money marbles or chalk and Lewis

GERMAN U-BOAT CARRIED
IRISH FLAG.

When the German U-53 boat
entered Newport on October 7,
several of the people OF Newport
went aboard, but none created
such enthusiasm as Mr.. James
O'Brien, one Of the most promi-
nent 1rishmen in the city, who
took with him an Irish Republican
flag and presented it to Lieuten-
ant Wacker. The lieutenant I'M
mediately recognized what flag it
was and gave it the German
naval salute. He then took the
flag, placed it beside the German
colors. and blowing his whistle,
the entire crew of the submarine
came on deck and saluted the Re
publican flag of Ireland. The Ger
man submarine officer then said:
'The first English ship we sink
we will hoist this flag in honor of
Ireland" The flag was displayed
and cheered as the submarine de-
parted and it was the only thing
that the submarine carried out of
Newport.

about a hundred students seven
years ago to its present enrolment
of nearly 1000 pupils and over for

modern languages, Latin, philos-

"ST FRANCIS AND ST. AN

Wednesday, November /, is a
day of great devotion. The Feast
OF All Saints appeals to every
Catholic. For that day is one of
special communion with all those
sanity friends, canonized, and un-
canonized, who are not present to
us bodily. In the last issue of The
Lamp, Floyd Keller, convert to
Catholicity and a former Angli-
can minister, writes that it is this
communion with saints that helps
make saints of living Catholics.
Therefore, it is a doctrine always
held to by that church, whose aim
is the regeneration of the individ-

out with the care and solemnity
calculated to impress upon the
minds of the boys the great spirit

drawn back to itself so many of
