Coach Lewis, in priming his men for this meet, has made four radical changes in his team's lineup which he hopes will bring a halt to the string of successive defeats. Kullman will be substituted for Stearns in the 135-pound class. Howe will replace Paine in the 175-pound class, and Wilson will replace Captain C. H. Bradford in the unlimited class.

As pre-arranged, a sweet voice sounded from a window, singing "On the Banks of the Wabash". Also as pre-arranged, the two actresses stepped from their car, stared up at the window, and, before the crowd thus attracted, entered the building and brought Nina Barbour out to notoriety and motored her away...
