All of the Nebraska backs were con- sistent ground gainers while Conn was the only member of the Aggie team who was able to make ground. An intercepted forward pass ' by Dobson of Nebraska in the center pf, the field was followed by .a,reyies of line plunges, end runs and forward passes which gave Nebraska a touch- down. Caley plunged through right tackle atross the Aggies’ goal line. Caley also kicked goal. A fumble by the Aggies put the ball in Nebraska’s possession on the Ag- gies ten-yard line, Nebraska worked the ball_to within a few feet of the Aggie goal line. Caley took the ball, but fumbled. €onn caught the ball on the fly and ran from behind his own fonl post for the full length of the ield to a touchdown. Conn kicked goal.

What Savage will do with his franchise is uncertain, There are four cities he might possibly be able to transfer it to. They are Kansas City, Kan.; Colorado Springs, Joplin, Mo, and Peoria, Ill. Colorado Springs is the only city he can transfer it to, however, without first obtaining the consent of the base ball powers, The Kansas City, Mo., club would have to sanction the transfer to Kansas City, Kan. Peoria is already in the Three I league and Joplin in the Western association. Kansas City, Kan,, looks like the best bet of them all and Savage will obtain the necessary permission Isbell Has Trouble, Frank Isbell, who was given a nine- ty-day option on the Wichita fran- chise, has been entcountering difficul- ties in the jobbing village.
