Wherever your correspondent goes, I am beselged by small boy. with

does not Indicate I am great American hammer-thrower, the more en
thusiastic they become.
Th. nreaa and athletic badges are
much alike, and as the only words I
know In the German language are
"Gross" end "bier," I find my vocab
ulary rather limited In an emergency
of this kind. I try to leu the lads
' by shrugs and gestures that they do
not want my autograph, but my aim
waving only serves to convince them
that, whoever I am, I am a very great
man Indeed and very modest.
Bo I finally sign my name and

olty. Powers bid of 81697, accented
from among five, was not tho lowest
submitted but was chosen becsuse
his wss the lowest .mong those who
could meet the school bond require,
ments, according to school officials.
Power stated yesterday that work
on th. big stand will be rushed to
completion by September 10. allowing
ample tlm. tor finishing touches be
fore th. start of the football season
early In October.
Plans, drawn by Architect Frank
Clark, call for a covered unit 309 feet
long, with well entrancea from th.
rear, and Besting 1390 persons. The
well entrances will allow spectatlrs
to file to their scats without the ne
cessity of entering st the end gatea.
The unit will house a band stand cap
able of accommodating 45 members.
snd an ample press box.
Orlglnsl plsns called for bleachers
at each end, but when WPA withdrew
patronage of the project this was con
aldered unfeasible, and it has been
decided to use portable basketball
bleacher., booetlng the entire seating
capacity to 3000. Eventually a com
parable grandstand will be put In on
th. east .Id. of th. field, but the
present one, on the west side, will
serve for the present.
Plans also call for lavatory and
showers under th. grandstand, but
money Is not now available for so
ambitious sn undertaking snd com
pletion of those unit, will have to
await financing. Framework for those
room, will be put In, however, at the
present time.

Leaping to his feet the primitive
aborigine, who admits he's only half
Indian, Informed Mr. Chick that He
could lick htm easily If no "lucky
punches" were lsnded, to which Mr.
Cnlck replied that some day he might
have th. chsnce, although Mr. Chick
expressed the gravest doubts thst Ike
would get sny farther than he had
on the recent occasion.
Th. beef lsstcd for some minutes,
during th. course of which discussion
Chick stated that he was rather proud
of hi. wrestling, rather than hla
ability to mix It with tough gentle
men who alwaya wanted to punch
him In the eye. "Down where I
came from," he stated, "wo learn to
wrestle right. I learned to wrestle
long before thla alley .Ighttng you
use became popular." Ik. admited
he was an alley fighter and not a
wrestler, but that he could "lick hell
out of a lot ot who thought they
were wrestlers."
The party came to a close when
Chick, departing, extended his hand
and said "No hard feelings, anyway
even If I do hope you lose your next
match." Mr. Ike sssured him. In
spoplectlo terms, that "hope" would
be Chick's only recourse If Chick
hsppened to be the opponent In that
next fight.
w. queried Ike aa to whether h.
had lost any bicuspids when clouted
on the puss so heartily, but he de

have had something to do with the
denlsl. for shortly after he'd left Ike
started nursing an extremely swollen
Jaw, and speculstlvely moving hla
teeth around to see If any of them
had become unmoored. Noticing us
wstchtng him. he looked a little
sheepish and explained that he didn't
want to admit Chick had hurt him,

Any minor rlota failed to develop
at the Armory wrestling matches last
night, but wild action In two of the
three matches sent the big crowd
horn, feeling s. though there had
been, as Bob Montgomery, big rough
and-tumbler from Georgia, continued
his winning streak by downing Les
Wolfe, and Bobby Chick, taking to
tne violent end of the game Ilk.
kid does to breed and Jam. eliminated
Cherokee Ik. at his own game. Joe
Hubka, Bohemian Adonla from Ne
braska, looking leaner and faster than
when he left here a year ago. expe
rienced little trouble in eliminating
Walter Stratum In the opener.
The crowd had already started to
leave the auditorium In th. last
match when Iea Wolfe got his pun
Ishlng tlgure-4 scissors on Montgom
ery for what would have been the
deciding fall, after Montgomery had
struggled to his feet only to tall back
to the mst. As the crowd started to
leave Montgomery agsln regained his
feet snd staggered to the corner of
the ring, where Referee Ray Friable
broke Wolfe's hold when the Georglen
edged his head under the ropes, With
wolf, standing directly behind him.
the southerner lashed backwards with
both feet like a Brahma heifer kick
ing a milk bucket, and knocked his
elongsted opponent spinning, diving
sbosrd for a Boston crab that gave
him th. fall and the match.
Montgomery also took tho opening
tumble when he banged Wolfe's skull
Into the bight of the ropes at a cor
ner, leaving the Texan groggy and
taking th. fall with a press. In thts
round Wolfe sbandoned his usual
gentlemanly tactics and fired a few
flat, at Montgomery. Th. fall came
In 11 minute.. Wolfe took th. next
with a bottoms-up flgure-4, hi. fa
vorite grip, In nine minute, after
much slugging on th. part of Mont
gomery. Th. stocky Chick hsnded Cherokee
Ike on. of the major surprises of his
career In the middle event, after It
had seemed the Indlsn waa well on
hla way toward achieving super
meanle ststus. Ike started his slug
ging early, but received a .harp crack
on the nose In return. The aborigine,
attempting to break sn arm bar In
the first round, bit his opponent on
the arm. Chick, getting Into th. spirit
of the thing, broke this msneuver
with a lusty wallop to the back of
Ike'a head and from then on the
match was mostly a slug-feat, with
the ex-cowpuncher easily having the
advantage.
Every tlm. the Indian offered one
of bis foul blows, Chick returned It
with Interest, taking the second round
with a surfbosrd In three and a half
minutes, after a no-fall opener. The
whale-hold, a libera) spouting of
wster Into the face ot th. enemy, was
employed by Chick at the atart of
th. next round, but Ike recovered
fast enough to sonnenberg and knee
his opponent Into a fall, making a
mad ruah across the ring, while Chick
was standing dascd from a crack on
the Jaw.
Apparently satisfied with th. ma
neuver. Ike attempted It again at the
stsrt of the fourth round, rushing '
blindly across th. arena. He received
such a hearty crack on the chin that
the only man who didn't hear the
pistol-shot report wss the deaf gentle
man who lives three block, south cf
the Bear Creek packing house. The
Indian arched a beautiful parabola
onto the flat of his back, where he
remained oblivious of hla surround
ings while Chick took the fall. When
he finally did emerge from the coma
Ike leaped to his feet and squared
sway for some more going, only to
discover with blank amazement that
hla enemy had flown. His virile offer
ings to thrash the two seconds or
anyone else In the house were vastly
amusing to the crowd.
Walter Stratton, under-slung weight
lifter, was obviously out of his class
sgalnst Joe Hubka In the opener. He
did fairly well In the first round
getting out of a leg scissors Into a
Boston crab, and breaking Hubka s
srm bsr twice with his abnormal
strength, but superior size and speed
cut him down In the following canto
as th. ex-Nebrsska footballer sonnen
berged him and then put his shoul
ders to th. mat with a somersault
bottoms-up. the first time such a pin
fall had been seen here. Stratton was
unable to continue.
