Canoeing to Be More
Popular Than Ever, Is
Opinion Of Builders

New York, Sept. 13.-Canoeing is
going to be more popular than ever
next year, from all indications, and
the makers of this craft are likely
to be hard put to it to meet the de-
mand, according to present indica-
lions. One of the chief factors in
the revival of the sport this year
has been the boys camps, where
canoeing has been one of the lead
ing pastimes, particularly in the lake
regions of this and other states,
and a better way of seeing the
country could not be desired. A
weeks trip through the widest and
most unfrequented regions of the
Adirondacks has been completed
by 81 Boy Scouts and councillors
of Camp Riverdale on Long lake
in Hamilton county, in which 100
miles were covered, 10 of which
were portage. Frank S. Hackett,
director of the camp, says it was
a great success from start to finish
and not one member of the party
was i'll or even slightly injured.

reputation. His II months service
b France with the United States
Army stamps him ~ one. If nothing
klse does. He was with the 18th
division and was 4 member of the
famed lost battalion" and was one
of the boys who cheered their COM
mander's reply to the Germans when
be told them where to go.
He was in four -Thierry
battles, in the Argonne forest siege
and in the Argonne-Meuse drive.
Some record, as good as the best
of them. Not satisfied with this
glory, Kervaros won the heavy
title of his division and wrestled
more than a hundred matches for
the free entertainment of his COM
fades at the Y. M. c. A. billets be-
hind the lines.
Before leaving Lincoln Thursday
hight, kervaros was assured of a
match with Plestina. The match is
practically arranged, all but setting
the date and naming the place. 1t
was suggested that this affair be
thrown open for bids! the organiza-
ton or promoter making the high
est bid for the match to get it. A
date was set for the consideration
of the bids and Kid Graves, sports
editor Of the Omaha Bee, was named
as the party to handle the bids.
ANY promoter or club wanting a
real Shooting wrestling match for
some time in October may pos
sibly land this one, by sending
bid for it to the sports editor of
this paper. The bids will all be
read on the date named and the
highest bidder will get the bout.
Plestina already has forfeit of
$1,000 posted with The Bee and
Kervaros will post his money as
soon as the bids are opened and he
is assured the match is closed.
The amount of the bids will not
be made public until October 4. Any
that arc sent in before that date,
will be sealed in an envelope and
no one permitted to see it until they
are all in and read to the manager
of the men. An early bid will re-
eeivs just as much consideration as
. late one, and no more. The high
est bid gets this match.

Intramural athletics, for the frst5
time in the history of Nebraska
scholastic dictatorship, receive rec
ognition this fall at the South Side
High school Last Wednesday a
system of physical training which
combines both physical exercise and
competition for athletic teams, open
to all students, was inaugurated.
James Patton. director OF athlet-
les, is head of the new system. He
is assisted by Howard Vose, a for
mer lieutenant in the tank corps of
the United States army during the
war, who is a senior. Mr.. Vose in
structs the students in setting up
exercises and similar features Of
army physical training.
Over 100 Register.
More than 100 students have reg
istered. As all inducement. the
school authorities have authorized
the award Of one quarter point per
semester to be counted as regular
school work Glasses are held on
three days in the week, and are d.
vided into two divisions, freshman
sophomore and senior Junior.
1--WE have had this plan under
consideration for some time" Coach
Patton said Wednesday, at the first
turnout. Two years ago ] first
presented the plan to the principal.
This year our efforts brought sue
cess. Physical conditioning for all
students attending cannot be EN-
phasized too much
R. NJ. Mars is principal.
Adopt Army Style.
The South Side High school plan
marks the first recognition of intra-
mural athletics in the state The
training thus far established is pat
termed after that adopted in the
army during the war, when millions
of Americans were conditioned for
the hardships Of war. Its purpose
primarily is to entice students who
heretofore have taken little interest
in athletics. 1t is not compulsory.
At Crete, Neb., two months ago a
similar system was established by
the grammer schools. A physical
director with army experience was
employed by the town council to
instruct students of the grade
schools and also take charge of VOL
unteer athletes at public play
grounds. The University of Ne
braska this week formally adopted
an identical system to begin in Sep
TENDER, 1920,
Plans are under way by the
Omaha board of education to build
an extension to the South Side High
school, charging the auditorium and
converting it into a large gymna-
SUM. The athletic program, in
consequence, will be carried on as
effectively and efficiently during
winter as in summer. The South
Side gymnasium at present is en-
tirely inadequate for the work.
