Nebraska Wrestler Is
Pleased With Navy and
Anxious for Service

Joe Stecher, the Dodge wrestling
phenom, and one time holder OF
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship, visited Sioux City last week
and participated in a wrestling car
nival in connection with the fair. He
had secured a furlough from the
Great Lakes Naval training station
where he is stationed to participate
in the event. He appeared looking
prim and fit in a regulation navy
uniform Of blue and attracted con-
siderable attention and favorable
comment.
Il like it fine out at the Great
Lakes Naval training station"
Stecher said, "and the life of a
sailor is going to suit me to a I,
I'm sure. Of course, our work at
the station contains but few thrills.
but I'm hoping to 60 through some
wonderful experiences before long.
Life on battle cruiser should give
fellow plenty of excitement, and |
look tor a real naval engagement or
two before victory finally comes to
the allies"
Stecher attracted considerable at
tention last evening when he strolled
through the lobby of the hotel. With
his head towering above those of
his three companions it was little
wonder that he caused some gasps
among the occupants of the crowded
corridor.
The former worlds wrestling
champion did not linger long in the
lobby, however. When he saw
that he held the center of the stage
he became a bit confused and sought
seclusion in his room. Funny thing
about Joe" said one of his COM
panlons after the I"tar" had retired,
is that he seems to have lost all
love for this publicity stuff since he
entered the navy. He has grown
more serious in the last few weeks
and seems to think that holding a
worlds championship belt wasn't the
greatest thing in the world after
all"
Stecher laughed when he was
asked about being QUILTED at the
Great Lakes station. 1t took nearly
three hours to find toys that he
could stretch over his bulky frame,
he said, but they finally had him in

Colorado High Schools
Use Kickoff This Year

Fort Collins, Colo, Sept. 2l.-Af-
ter two-year experiment in playing
foot ball by eliminating the kickoff
at the start, school authorities of
the Northern Colorado High School
conference have voted to return to
the orthodox manner of opening a
gridiron contest this fall.
The conference in an endeavor
to adopt local rules making the
sport as free from danger of acct
dent as possible, has been following
the practice Of putting the ball in
play from the 30-yard line of the
offensive side instead of the kick
off. The change failed toNmeet the
approval Of large majority of the
players. students. and spectators.

AMATEURS WILL
DECIDE TITLE At
ROURkE PARK
Championship Of the Greater
Omaha League Will Be
Decided by Double
Header Today.

Soldiers and sailors will be ad-
rnitted free to the championship
games of the Greater Omaha league
at Rourke park today, according
to an announcement by President
Earl Higgins. The doubleheader to-
day will finish the post-season SER
les to decide the championship of the
league for which three teams tied.
The possibility that the series may
result in tie has created additional
interest and partisans of the teams
are becoming greatly enthused over
the possibilities offered.
The Armours play two games, the
FIRST with the Murphy-Did-Its and
the second with the Longeways of
Council Bluffs. Should the Muir
phys win the initial performance it
cinches the title for the blacksmiths.
A win in the first game by the Ar
mours and loss of the second by
them to the Longeways will tie up
the series, while a win OF both
games will give them the pennant.
Chance for Tie.
The Longeways in the first douple
header of the series lost both
games, playing way below their
usual form. Last Sunday they ap-
parently became used to the
grounds and came back, winning
their game from the Murphys. A
continuance of this form with the
Armours tied after playing the first
game lead many of the dopesters to
believe another tie probable. A tie
is the most the Bluffs boys can
hope for
The Armours lost their game to
the Murphys last Sunday and with
the pennant in sight a battle royal
is assured in the first game. Both
teams have played fast ball all sea-
son and are evenly matched. The
packers will place their strongest
team in the field for the first game
and will enter the contest favor
ate with most OF the fanS. d"
Lineups Will Change.
Ted Kline of the Murphys has
been called in the Naval Medical re-
serve and his place at short will
probably be filled. by Wolcott, who
has been playing second base for
the Longeways. Phillips, formerly
Of the Longeways. has been vaea-
tioning in Colorado, and an S. 0.
S. has been sent him to return and
occupy the keystone sack in the final
game.
With indications of good base ball
weather an overflow crowd is ex-
pected to attend. Since the discon-
tinuance Of professional base ball
the crowds have steadily increased
1t amateur games and the brand of
ball dished up has added many en-
thusiastic admirers to- the sandlot
game. Large crowds have attended
the two previous games and with
the addition of the men in uniform
the stands should be packed.
The first game will start promptly
Ut $50 o'clock and the second game
will start Immediately after.

MIX Ak.SAR.bEN
ENDS WAR BOUTS
Nebraska Heavyweights Will
Settle Differences 0Cca-
stoned by Postponed
Match July 4.

The announcement of the Pesek-
Peters grapple has enlivened the
sports calendar to very marked
degree. War has played havoc in
the world of athletics and with but
few exceptions all the great lights
in the game are now serving under
Uncle Sans colors. 1t is generally
believed that the Peters Pesek bout
will be the last of any of the really
big matches unit the war has been
won. Both men are popularity &C
corded as "wrestlers, who wrest,e,"
who fight for blood" and who give
the spectators their full worth for
money expended.
Peters and Pesek met in Omaha
July 4, last, at Rourke park, when
Old J. Pluvius rammed in his horns
and spread blanket of moisture
over the arena, where the two were
battling-and battling hard-for
stellar honors. The grapplers had
struggled for 40 minutes without a
fall, when the rain became so hard
that the referee called time. That
match left a doubt in the minds of
the fans as to who was the real
victor.
A Grudge Match.
That meeting left bad feeling"
between Peters and Pesels, which
was not abated any when the match
was resumed the Saturday following
at the Auditorium. Pesek at that
time won the match.
There will be a semi-fral wrest-
ling match staged by Charles Pesek,
brother of the big wrestler. and Mike
Fromme of Harlan, Ia, which is 60
ing to be a "humdinger," according
to those who know" A preliminary
bout will also be on the program.
The Pesek-Fromme battle will be
for $500 side bet, which has al
ready been posted.
Popular prices will prevail for
the match. All reserved seats will
be sold for 81, with the exception of
not more than four rows of rlngside
seats, which will be sold for 81.
The match will be an added attrac-
ton to the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities on
Friday evening, September u. The
Auditorium has been secured to
stage the battle.
