Four men will receive their class
numerals and silver cups today as
their reward for winning champion-
ships in the recent wrestling tourna-
ment.
The four runners-up will each re-
cie their numerals also, and the tvio
highest men in each class will be pro-
sented with a pair of wrestling trunks.
The awards will be made this after
noon at 3 o'clock in the wrestling room
of Waterman gymnasium. A meeting
of all taking part in the tournament
will be held at that time and place
for the purpose of making the awards
and also electing a manager and of-
ficers for next year
These awards are made possible by
action of the Athletic association. The
association has recognized wrestling
this year as being on a higher plane
than during previous seasons and has
made every effort to encourage the
sport. Authorities in charge of the
several tournaments during the sea-
son are highly gratified at the general
success of the season, both as to the
caliber of the men competing and the
support accorded the efforts of the men
in charge and the competitors at the
tourneys. More entries have been re-
corded in meets this year than ever
before and larger crowds have turned
out to witness the bouts.

Enlistment cuts
Big Nine Entries
Only 172 Men to Start in Annual
Classc; Two Universities
Out of Event
Chicago, June 5.- Enlistments for
military service have thinned the
ranks of athletes in the "Big Nine."
Entries announced today for the
17th annual outdoor meet of the
Western conference to be held at the
University of Chicago next Saturday
contain only 172 starters, fewer than
one-half the number that contested in
the classic a year ago.
Neither the University of Minnesota
nor Wisconsin will be represented
this year, athletics at those institu-
tions having been abandoned until the
end of the war. The rest of the big
nine universities-Illinois, Chicago,
Ohio State, Northwestern, Purdue, In-
diana and Iowa- have teams, how-
ever. Other teams to exhibit color
will be Notre Dame, Oberlin, and
gichigan Agricultural.
There is a strong probability that
some of the stars now enrolled in the
officers' training camps may be able
to compete as the conference com-
mittee has ruled that all athletes in
good scholastic starnding who are at-
tend Lg the camps will be eligible.
YESTERDAY'S GAMES

GIANTS NOT ALONE IN
BATTLE FOR PENNANT
TEAMS SURPRISE DOPESTERS BY
DRUBBLING POLO
GROUNDERS
By H. C. Hamilton
(United Press Staff Correspondent.).
New York, June 5.-The dovetail
surface of the National league's first
division during the first two months
of the season is a surprise, to put it
in the mildest terms. The fact that
the Giants didn't grab the handle of
the schedule and run right through
the opposition and even yet have
failed to smash back the complain-
ing rivals has sprung a lot of inter-
est where the word was supposed to
be dead.
Manfor man, the Giants stick out
predominantly over opposition clubs.
As a team, figured on paper, they look
the class and were expected to prove
it. The only weak spot was supposed
to be the pitchers. Pitchers, at that,
should have been the least of New
York worries, for a team constituted as
the Giants, should be able to spot the
rest a good pitcher or so, and then
whizz by in fairly decent form.
Comparing the Giants' infield with
other National league infields is suffi-
cient to prove the preponderance of
power among the Polo grounders.
Every man of this quartet is able to
hit better than .250 and there is at
least one man capable of .300. There
isn't another Infield that can do that.
The outfield has three hitters pelting
the ball at .300, or within a few points
of that mark. One catcher-McCarty
-is a .300 man at every stage of the
game,
That's why the Giants were figured
to make it a one club race. The pitch-
ing staff, weakened in spots, was not
figured in at all. Ford Schupp, consid-
ered one of the best hurlers the game
nas gathered in, was considered good
nough to hold his own. Jeff Tesreau
has. a lot of good ball games left;
Slim Sallee will be ready, and Poll
Perritt is a good pitcher.
But when opposition clubs began
outplaying the Giants-deliberately
doing things that the Giants couldn't
help-something was wrong. The op-
position was putting across baseball
the Giants couldn't stgp
It's a gopd thing for the National
league-this gprising. It's reviving in-
teresc in a race that was supposed to
have been settled,

MAY TRY TO INDUCE MAJOR
LEAGUES TO PLAY AFTER DARK
Des Moines, Ia., June 5.-If some of
some of the major league club owners
decide to make an experiment, base-
ball may be played at night. W. S.
Ward, one of the owners of Washing-
ton park, Brooklyn, is interested in a
lighting plant, which he is anxious to
exploit. During the Buffalo Bill show
at the park recently, with one-third of
the power turned on, a sharpshooter
gave an exhibition of glass ball break-
ing which in Mr. Ward's opinion,
proved that baseball could be played
after sundown.

While the Federal league was in hers of the council believe that men

IOWA COLLEGE FOR BLIND
WINS IN DlUAL TRACK MEET
Pefeats Minnesota's Similar Institution
Reversing Last Year's
Result
Vinton, Ia., June 5.-The Iowa Col-
lege for the Blind won the track meet
from the Minnesota College for the
Blind, held at the two schools. The
score was 60 to 39 in favor of the
Iowans. Last year Minnesota won the
picet by four points over the Iowa col-
iege.
Only two of the events were won
this year by the Minnesota school,
these being the standing broad jump
and the three standing jumps.
Although all of the blind athletes
made good records in all the events,
Tom Tiernan of this city, who is total-
ly blind, made the largest number of
pini of any individual in the meet
and captured first places in three of
the nine events, four seconds and two
third places.
