hero of hard work. "A tremen-
dous energy enwrapped in the per-
sonality of a very human and Iowa
BILE man. Sir William Van Horne built
the Canadian Pacific railway, an essen
tally spectacular achievement and one
that involved incredible resource and
genius. BY virtue of this work he be

of Joliet for the long rest. This is the
story of a versatile man. as well as d
maker. he might have been an authority
in geology. or in art. 1t is the story Of
early poverty. of tireless energy, Of fam

a word, it is one of the stories that will

SAY WRESTLING
AIDSFOOTBALL
Walter Zuppke and Others Ad-
vocate Mat Sport for
Gridiron Stars.

BY United Press.
CHICAGO. ILL.,, Feb. l5.-When Johnny
Meyers. who claims to be middleweight
champion, and Challenger Paul Prehn,
mat instructor at the University Of ILL.,
nois. take holds in the main bout of the
show 10 be staged at the Coliseum on
Friday one Of the interested spectators
will be Robert Zuppke, successful foot
ball coach at the downsiaic institution.
Zuppke is a wrestling enthusiastic and he
urges his football players to take up the
sport in the winter season. The Illinois
gridiron mentor believes it makes the big
fellows more active. teaches them to
charge faster, and, above all, places them
on their own resGurcefulness.
The Illinois football coach is not the
only gridiron teacher who believes that
wrestling is excellent training for the
fall game. Howard Jones of Iowa has
always been an advocate of the mat game.
and last yeaE Glen Deyine and Heldt, two
members Of his team, competed in mat
Journeys.
AMEs GRID MAN ON MAT
Charley Mayser. athletic director and
football coach at Ames, is another west
crn gridiron football coach who is a
sianch advocate of wrestling as a condi-
tiCner for the gridiron game. Polly Wal
lace, all-western center and chosen for
the same position on the All-American
team by some critics, is one of the main
Stays of this years wrestling team. Bar
kei, all-western guard in 1919, is another
mcmber Of the squad.
Hugo Bezdek. former University Of Chi
cage football player and at present athle-
tic director and football coach at Penn
Slate has always believed that wrestling
is one of the best training assets for foot.
ball. Penn State has always ranked well
up with the leading mat teams Of the
east and its squads have been made up
OF number Of football players.
LAST LAP OF TRAINING
Meyers and Prehn will start on the last
lap Of training tomorrow. Meyers has
been doing all his work at the Arcade
gymnasium, where he has further per-
fecfed his hammetlock, combined with a
double wristlock.
Prehn has been doing all his training at
the University of Illinois. The instructor
has been doing plenty of road work, as
he believes the wrestler with the greater
staying qualities will win.
Aside from the main bout, Captain Wal
ter Evans will meet John Kilonis and
Henry Irslinger will take holds with
Heine Engel in the other matches.

OUTLOOK GOOD
Fear of Its Decline as College
Sport Is Unfounded,

intercollegiate sport. During the past
few years, -Hben professional playing has
grown more and more popular-and more
mercenary-university baseball coaches
have become alarmed at the situation. and
predict that in few years there will be
no such thing as intercollegiate baseball.
According 10 John F. Miller, Univer-
siiy baseball coach. this alarm is all I'M
founded. There will always be inter
collegiate baseball as long as it is still
held as a sport, he says.
There are two kinds of baseball, pro-
fessional and non-professiOnal," says
Coach Miller. "When a player gets too
good for collegiate or non-professional
bali, Of course some ball club finds him
and makes him an offer. If he accepts,
the college team does not suffer. for he
is out Of their class. and should advance.
His departure simply means that another
player of the non-professional class gets
4 chance. Although the college team
may not be able to win as many gamts
in losing him, they are still able to keep
the team up to the non-professional class

TICERSREADY
FOR BULLDOGS
Light Practice Before Games
With Drake-M. U.
Coaches Confident.

Drake Oniycrsitys quintet viii invade
Columbia this week Tor a pair of this
with the Tigers. According to the record
which they have hung up to-daie the
Bulldogs have one Of the weakest teams
in the Valley. They should not prove
any serious stumbling block for the Mis-
sourians.
The Tigers took a Fight workout last
evening following the strenuous pair Of
games with the Ageies. Following the
Drake battles this week. two more ser
ics will remain TO be played, one with
Kansas at the Lawrence court and one
with the Kansas Aggies On the home
playing cage. 10 close the season.
Both Of these are considered as eX-
ucmely stiff c0mbais for the local cham
pcinship hopes" II the local five is
successful in winning both series. it will
accomplish a feat which has not been ac-
oomplished for several years. To win
four games from a strong contender for
the title in one season is an extremely
difcGlt task. yet the MissoDaSSns must
d. this 10 ensure a title. Assistant Coach
Ruby Is not laying too much stress upon
an all-yiciorious season. Yet no doubt this
is 4 hope which he harbors.
The X. L. games at Lawrence will be
still ones for the local invaders. as the
tcnsenoss Of all games played at Kansas
usually slows up the play of the Tigers
just iriie Too. the Aggie team which
will close the season here has shown that
it is just as strong away from home as
Nhen playing on familiar territory.
The showing of Captain Browning this
last week was a source of much satisfac-
lion to the Tiger coaches. The Missouri
leader. who IS playing his last season
in 4 gold and black uniform, contributed
greatly to the Bengals' success on the
road. The lineup Of the Tigers probably
