STETCHER HAS ONLY ONE HOLD
Nabraska Wrestler Has Done Wonders With His Scissors
Grip-Fame Conferred Around the Powerful Clip.

Joe Stecher, the Dodge, Neb., wrest-
Ter, is head, shoulders and scissors
above everybody else in the mat game.
That much was demonstrated to the
satisfaction of everybody recently
when the fellow they call a marvel
polished off Charlie Cutler, Of Chicago,
for two falls in 27.04. 1t wasn't SO
much the fact that the Nebraska far
mer defeated the Chicago man as it
was the speed with which he accom-
phShed the trick under conditions which
In advance pointed to long-drawn-
out contest.
When Cutler entered the arena he
had Just one purpose in. mind, and
that was to make his struggle on the
defensive. He hoped by adopting these
tactics to tire Stecher. To battle on
the defensive was just about the best
policy that Charlie could adopt. By
SO doing he had an outside chance of
making the contest a long one, but
end the farmer would have beaten
used.
Youth Favors stecher.
But If Cutler had any idea that
roughing it on defence would tire his
opponent and favor his own chances
Stecher is powerful, has stamina and,
of greater advantage than all, he has
youth. As a. matter of fact, to pro-
long the contest would have tired the
Chicago man more than his opponent.
With his famous scissors, formed by
a pair of powerful legs, Stecher has
carved his name in the hall of wrest-
ling fame. It is safe and sane state
ment to say that the Nebraskan can

SYRACUSE TossERs
N A TOUR
Orange Five OFF on Visits to Camps
of Rivals.

Defeated on its home floor for the
first time in six years. when Yale
scored 80 to 20 victory on last
Thursday night, the Syracuse Univer-
sfty basketball team is now making its
first trip of the year.
Four games will have been played
away from home before the Orange
quintet returns for a battle with Roch-
ester here on January 16. Syracuse
will help Pittsburgh open it's season
on the Pittsburgh court on Monday
night.
Captain Rafter, Casey, Dolly and
Vensil are playing the forwards; Crisp,
SchwartZer and Ruffin are the guards,
and Osnan, the famous oarsman, is
playing center. Elias Raft, manager,
is in charge of the squad, along with
Walter S. Smith, graduate manager.
The record broken by Yale on Thurs
day is said to be unequalled in inter-
collegiate ranks. Although Syracuse
has lost games away from home dur
ing the last six years, no team has
been able to cope successfully with
the powerful Orange offence operating
on it's home court

formers whose records compare favor
ably with those of the best Amateur
runners in the world. Bahlin as a
rule confines his running to the 400
and 300 meter races which correspond
with the American quarter and half
mile events. flanders, while he some
times completes at these distances is
better in the longer contests ranging
from 5000 to 5000 meters.
Both of these athletes were named
by Coach Ernie Hjertberg as probable
members OF the Swedish track and
field team. which it was proposed to
send to this country last summer. They
have been developed since the Olympic
games held at Stockholm in 1912 and
have equalled or bettered the Interna-
tional Amateur Athletic Federation
records several times.
The members Of the American five

ly impressed by the running of the two
Swedish amateurs. Bohlin defeated
Ted Meredith five times at distances
ranging from 800 to 1000 meters, but
the former University of Pennsylvania
star turned the tables upon Bohlin
in the 4eO meter races. Zanders also
defeated Meredith in a 1000 meter
race, the distance TOO great for the
American. Bohlin and lander divid-
h0nOTS
races at the Swedish championships
held in August and Zanders won first
place in the 1900 and 5000 meter races
and the 5000 meter steep1echase at

Bohlin was second in the 400 and fist
in the 400 meter races against the best
runners of Norway. Denmark and

the necessity of contrndS ctdon that
Stecher is one-hold wrestler, and
that grip is the scissors. Take his

Not Sharp Without Scissors2
There are some who know the mat
game who go SO far as to say that
without the scissors Stecher would be
easy picking for number of wreSt-
lers, but that has to be proved, so
there Is no use terming a man medic
ere by saying eff he didn't have the
scissors" Stecher is the heavyweight
Frank Gotch standing in his path.
To call a man q. one-ho1d man is not
casting discredit on him. for the Ne
braskan is a credit to the sport in
which he has entered. He is a clean
cut, intelligent farm boy. He was
mentally capable of discovering the
scissors which has brought him to
the front, and he deserves praise for
that. Talking with him a few days

locked. As used by Stecher it is a rib
crushing, torture producing grip, from
Ter will youch for this. The Nebras-
kan has perfected it to an extent that
he can clamp it on from almost any
position In fact, he might be nearly
on and defeat his opponent. Stecher
simply swings his long legs around
the body of his foe. locks his ankles
together. brings an inward pressure
on his powerful knees, and if his OPP
ponent does not cry for help the VIC
tim is quickly rolled over on his back
in defeat Stecher makes his hold eff
fective by forcing his knees into the
midsection of an opponent, just below
the lower and short ribs. AS an ac-
cessory he applies a half nelson.
The effect of this scissors is most
painful. Cutler three days after his
match with Stecher was still suffering
from the scissors attack. 1t is worth
mentioning here that Stecher applied
the grip only twice. The first time
Cutler rolled over on his back. The
second time Stecher applied it Cut
ler's face pointed to the canvas. and
in the viselil<e grip Charlie could not
turn his shoulders to the mat. He
simply was forced to give up and con-

That fellow crushed those knees into

would crack. And it makes a fellow
sick, too. He can beat anybody in

There are many people talking
about a match between Stecher and
Gotch. Since the Humboldt Oowa)
farmer broke his ankle and announced
his retirement from the game there is
no chance of the match ever taking
place. However, this does not pre-
vent the fans from trying to compare
the two. Many believe that Gotch
would beat the NebraSkan. The only
way this question could be answered
would be a meeting of the pair, but it
is pretty certain that if Stecher could
get his scissors on Gotch he would de-
feat him. It would be up to Gotch
to prevent Joe from locking his legs
around him. On the other hand, Gotch
has that famous old toe hold to fall
back on. If he got that on Stecher it
would mean defeat for the Nebraskan.

ATHLETICS LOOK FOR
A WINNER THIS YEAR
Connie Mack Will Place a Good Team
on Field.

Add the Philadelphia Athletics to
the list of American league first divi-
sion contenders in 1917. The concen-
scs of opinion among baseball men
who gathered at the recent meeting
of the National league, was that the
Athletics would have to be reckoned
with next season, and that Connie
Mack would put in the field a team
far superior to the misf1t aggrega ton
that carried his silks last season.
Connie Mack himself believes the
Athletics will finish among the first
four. For the first time since he
wrecked his far-famed machine the
angular tactician is able to figure on
his regulars.
He will have McInnis, Grover, Witt
and Bates on his fnf1eld. Grover and
promising youngsters that ever broke
into the American league. Grover
probably will play second base in
place of Larry Lajoie, and Bates will
be on third in place of Charlie Pick.
Ping Bodie, Strounk and Thrasher
probably will comprise the Machian
Outfie1d, with Bush, Myers, Majors
Johnson and Sheehan forming a nu-
cleus for a pitching staff.
Both Bush and Myers performed
admirably last season, despite the poor
showing of the team, and Mack is
counting on them to be at their best
in 1917.
Bates comes from the Vernon club
of the Pacific Coast league, and last
year in 203 games batted .289- Witt in
1916 gained ranking as one of the
best shortstops in the American league.
during the closing days of the season
Thrasher comes from Atlanta, and
of 1915 he was one of the hitting SEN
sations of the American circuit. In
one game he connected for a homer,
two triples and a double. Connie has
said that Thrasher is one of the most
natural stickers he ever has seen.
and in proof Of this he asserts he will
play the youngster in the opening
game Of 1917-unless, of course, in
juries intervene.

The Canal and the Zone.

Gen. Edwards, recently in command
of the American troops in Panama, has
just arrived home to assume new duties
with headquarters at Boston, and saws
in an interview:
II have left in the Canal Zone one of
the fittest army commands in the world
We have been working for two years
and half down there and every officer
and man in the command knows every
trail in the zone. and | think they are
fully able to meet any emergency"
This is good news The canal is a very
important feature in our war caicula-
tons. And, of course, it will be an i'm
portant feature of our calculations after
the war is over. On every account it
should be guarded now with all vigil
lance, so that both while the war lasts
and later, it may fulfill all expectations
The breaking out of hostilities in Eu-
rope subordinated nothing of more gen.
eral interest than the completion of the
great American enterprise at the 18TH
mus. 1t was something the whole world
was looking to with pride and pleasure.
1t would realize the dream of centuries.

It would by shortening trade routes con-
tribute to the prosperity Of all trading
nations.
In addition to this, it would bring to
us a feeling of increased security re-
specting our strength on the water, east
and west-never, and not now, adequate.
We should then be able to transfer war
ships swiftly and safely from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and back again, as
emergencies might require.
The time came, the isthmus was
pierced, the water ran through; but,
suddenly, an appalling tragedy befell,
shaking the world, and obscured every
thing else-this great and benefcent
thing among the number.
The canal, then, has not yet come into
its own, either as respects recognition,
or opportunity to serve. The eyes Of
the world have been turned elsewhere,
and business on both land and water
has been dislocated and heavily handi-
capped.
But. though belated, both recognition
and business are assured when once
more the world is at peace and water
trade and water travel are resumed. The
canal then will stand out in its true
proportions. and serve the world as its
builders and owners intended.
No means should be spared to pro-
tect that short and narrow waterway
from harm at time when a colossal
CONFUSION is making everything, every
where, insecure, and putting severe
tax on the different peoples Of the earth
to save all they can of their own.
