The award is made for outstanding, non professional contributions to wildlife conservation in Nebraska. Campbell will receive a plaque from the Sunday Journal and Star in nition of the award at the University of Nebraska Wildlife Club Awards banquet to be held this evening at the University of Nebraska Student Union.

Campbell, a rancher whose specialties are conservation and an Angus cow herd, has lived most of his 51 years close to the South Loup River in the northwestern part of Buffalo County where he operates 1800 acres. His lessons and knowledge of wildlife and the importance of conservation to the hunter and fisherman come from first hand experience where deer, quail and much of the wildlife native to Nebraska are famiiiar visitors to the Campbell back yard. hunting pressure on wildlife will increase with our population and multiply with the shorter work hours and longer vacations, but if we educate our people to the fact wildlife is like any other crop, you can under harvest or overharvest, we can have good hunting as long as we match the conservation says Campbell. A grin comes to face and then a bright snap to his target trained eyes as he starts talking about the many rewards that come with hunting, fishing, camping, and outdoor recreation. would rather any day have a boy anxious to get home from school to go hunting, trapping or fishing than to have him thinking about racing around in a says Campbell as he displays a well used rack of rifles and shotguns that are associated with many family ventures afield.

Mat Fun Turns to Serious Business By LARRY DENNIS Wrestling is just a hobby with Russ Camilleri, but it exactly a casual thing. He is so serious about it, in fact, that he has won eight National Amateur Athletic Union titles.

Three times 1960, 1964 and has been named the AAU outstanding wrestler. He has been a member of four United States teams in the World Tournament and was on the 1960 and 1964 Olympic teams. The 29-year-old San Francisco Olympic Club star, married and the father of three children, is a 1958 graduate of San Jose, State. He is a veteran of 14 years in wrestling, including a five-year period between 1958 and 1963 when he lived in West Lincoln while stationed as a first lieutenant at Lincoln Air Force Base. So he will, in a sense, be coming home this week when he takes time off from his horse ranch and insurance business in the San Francisco area to compete in the 1966 version of the national AAU meet in Lincoln.

The tournament starts Tuesday with Greco-Roman competition, which finishes Wednesday night. On Thursday, the freestylers take over, and the champions in that division will be crowned Saturday night. An entry list in the neighborhood of 300 is expected for the meet, the first event of such stature ever staged in the Capital City. There will be two sessions daily in Pershing Auditorium, starting at 1 and 7 p.m. Most of the time, five mats will be going at once.

Tournament headquarters will be the Hotel husker. Murano StensiandSanders Conine Camilleri will be a busy man. He will be defending the title in both Greco-Roman and freestyle divisions. There will be two other champions defending crowns In both categories. Chikara Murano, the 27-year-old graduate of Chyo University in Japan who now wrestles for the New York Athletic Club, will be trying for repeat victories at 138.5 pounds.

Wayne Baughman, the ex-Oklahoma star who is now an air force officer, won twice last year at 191 and will be attempting to do the same this time. At the moment, eight other defending champions are entered. In the freestyle division, they include heavyweight Larry Kristoff, a three-time national AAU champion from Southern Illinois; 213.5-pounder Gerald Conine from the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland, 154- pounder Jim Burke from San Francisco; Rick Sanders, the reigning 115-pound national collegiate champion from Portland State and also a Multnomah representative, at 125.5 pounds; and Kay Sanchez, tht Wyoming freshman who won the 114.5-pound title last year as a high school senior. Other Greco-Roman champions on hand will include heavyweight Garry Stensiand of Portland, another Multnomah team member; Pat of Redwood City, and the San Grancisco Olympic Club, the 213.5-pound king; and Bob Douglas, the former Oklahoma State star at 154. The only two 1965 champions not now entered are Rich Henjyojl of Portland at 114.5 and Clem Crow of the NY AC at 125.5.

Roth likely will be here when the action starts. A bundle of former champions will be fighting to regain their crowns, including 34-year-old Lee Allen of San Francisco. Mac Motokawa of Brigham Young University and Ron Finley of Pacifica, at 138.5, Ben Northrop of San Francisco at 154. Rudy Williams the 171.5-pounder from Detroit, and Dean Ivahr, the former Colorado University star who won 1963 171.5 AAU title along with national collegiate crowns in 1963 and 1964. In the latter year he was named the college outstanding wrestler.

He will enter this week at 191 pounds. The current collegiate crop will be well-represented. Bill Harlow, the 191-pound national champion from Oklahoma State, is expected. Iowa State, which won last national crown and finished second to the Cowboys this year, will send a delegation which probably will include Tom Peckham, two-time collegiate 177-pound king, 1965 137-pound champion Bob Buzzard and his brother, Don, who lost to Harlow in this final. The tournament has a world-wide flavor.
