Dern as a result lost the contest to
the colorful Oregon heavyweight in a
match that sent the mat fans away
wild with frenzy.
Alley, who is a young grappler out
to make national name for himself,
secured the first fall after only IL
minutes of wrestling. He pinned the
shoulders of Dern in jig time with a
front and a half Nelson.
Alley had Dern in bad way after
the men resumed wrestling when he
clamped on "leg splitz," but Dern
in breaking the hold tossed the Ore
gon star with a double arm scissors
in 20 minutes.

After a vicious and tempestuouS
nine minutes of wrestling Dern aI

of 38,OO0-acre-feet of water behind ii,
it did so without warning and loOsed

Two great flashes as the flood snap

Homes were crumpled under the

c. H. Hunck, so years old, sleepinG

HAHN WILL MEET
 PELTzER FEB. 2
American Star Refuses to Go. West for Illinois \. C.. Games.

New York, Feb. 6 N-The long, anticipated clash between Dr. Otto Peltzer and Lloyd Hahn will come in the Knights of Columbus meet at Madison Square Garden Feb. 2s or not at all. 1t was indicated today.
 With Hahn's refusal to go west for the Illinois A. c. games at Chi cago Feb. 10. the K. of c. carnival apparently offers the only chance for a meeting between the rival middle distance stars.
 Dr. Peltzer makes his second American appearance in the Illinois A. C. games in 1000 meter run. He has indicated that he would run in the K. of c. meet in his farewell or return to Germany without mak- ing the third appearance allowed him by athletic authorities of his native land. Hahn is already entered in the casey mile at the K. of C. car nival and negotiations are under way to have the Teuton enter the same event.
 Whether this can be arranged or not apparently rests with the Ana teur Athletic Union of ficials. They have interpreted a cable German au- thorities sent them Saturday as re- stricting Peltzer to a 14-day com- petitive period in this country Pelt- ger. however. maintains that this li- day period refers simply to the time during which his expenses will be paid.
 There is no restriction, he insists, so far as time goes, if he decides to pay his own expenses. He has cabled German authorities for a flat an swer as to whether he may enter the K. of c. meet.
 The cable received Saturday ad- visod Peltzer to do everything possi- ble to conform with the wishes of the A. A. U. If the American offi- cials hold fast to their interpretation of the time limit angle of the Ger man stars invasion there appears to wil! voluntarily restrict himself 10 be strong probability that PeltZer two appearances instead of three.
