The bout will take place in cither Ravenna or Shel- ton in the near future. Pesek is a Bohemian youngster who sprang up a short time ago ou t in the western part of Nebraska and has made a meteoric advance through hush league wrestling circles. He helc Joe Stecher off for thirty minutes and he carned a draw with Jack Taylor, the Canadian champion. Wrestling fans out around Ravenna and Shelton and in Hall and Buffalo counties re- gard Pesek as a coming champion and declare with a ligtle more experience lie will be a match for Joe Stecher. He is a willing youngster and will wrestle anybody that puts in an ap- pearance. When Plestina heard that Pesek might be coaxed into a match he immediately set his plans and got his first match in six months. Happy as Child.

Now at last he's got a match in sight and is as happy as a child with a new toy “I've only got one regret about this’ match,” said Plestina. “If I beat Pesek quick, I'll never get a chance to meet Caddock or the rest of them.” Brandeis Drop Out 0f Tri-City League And AllIs Peaceful I'he Brandeis team will drop out of the Tri-City league and that basket hall organization.’ which almost ex-. ploded on the opening night, may now continue.
