KENNADY SUCCESSOR Omaha appears to be a good train' ing ground for young business men, another having just received recogni tion from eastern headquarters. L. A. Keller, for the last six years manager of the Omaha branch of the Studebaker Corporation, leaves the coming week for Portland, Ore., to become northwest manager, an enor mous section of country thereby com ing under his direct supervision. Mr. Keller's connection with the Studebaker dates back to the early days when the first Studebaker branch was established in Minneapolis, and when automobiles were not as numer ous as aeroplanes are now. After some years in Minneapolis, ne went to Portland with the E. M. F. North west company the name of the Stu debaker branch at that time and in 1911 came to Omaha. Enjoys Wonderful Growth Under Mr. Keller's direction the Studebaker automobile business in the Omaha territory has grown from a very modest business to its present magnificent proportions. The present Studebaker building, at Twenty-fifth avenue and Farnam street, one of the finest branch buildings in the Studebaker organization, is a monu ment to Mr. Keller's energy and pro gressiveness. He is a member of the Omaha Commercial club, Field club, Sixty-Six club. Athletic club, Auto mobile Trade association, Automobile club and Sales Managers' association-, of which he was president last year. A notable addition to the automo bile ' men of Omaha has just been announced by the Stude baker Corporation, the appoint ment having been made of Henry Kennady as manager of the Omaha branch to succeed Mr. Keller. Mr. Kennady, while young in years, beincr only 33. has had vears of ex perience in the sales end of the auto mobile business. He has been con nected with Studebaker for over nine years and is a veteran in the auto mobile business. Mr. Kennady's first connection with Studebaker was in the vehicle division at the Sooth Bend plant, where he spent four years. His work there brought him tee appointment of man ager of the South Bend branch of the automobile division, which he managed for over two years, going from there to Oklahoma City as branch manager. His experience at Oklahoma City gave him a thorough insight into conditions in the "middle west," and the record he made brought him prominently before the executives at the Detroit plant When it became necessary to send to a far distant point a man who knew Studebaker policies from the ground up, who was able to deal with condi tions as he found them, and who had the initiative and the ability to carry things through to a successful con clusion, Mr. Kennady was the man selected. He was sent to Australia to build up the business there and for the last four years has been managing director at the Studebaker Corpora tion of Australia, limited. Mr. Kennady's previous experience in this section gave him the desire to return ,and when the opportunity of fered for locating in Omaha he was quick to take advantage of it.

SYRACUSE WANTS TO PLAYHUSKERS Easterners Ask for Thanksgiv ing Date, but Notre Dame Already Has Holiday. SCHEDULE IS A HARD ONE Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 11. (Special.) Syracuse university wants to meet Nebraska on the gridiron next fall and the Nebraska athletic board has been asked to give the powerful east ern eleven a Thanksgiving day date. With negotiations already complet ed with Notre Dame for a return date next turkey day it seems impossible for the Husker management to ar range a game with the easterners. Nevertheless, the Nebraska athletic board is anxious to establish rela tions with Syracuse, as the easterners have been represented by some of the most powerful elevens seen on eastern gridirons. The Nebraska schedule, with games already arranged with Mis souri, Kansas, Notre Dame and Iowa, will be the hardest which has ever been faced by a Nebraska eleven. At the same time Dr. Stewart is con ducting negotiations with one of the leaders in western foot ball and a fifth big game will undoubtedly be arranged before the close of the com1 ing week. The Huskers' schedule will also see some big upsets. Drake, which has been the first game of the season the last two years, wants the Huskers to come to Des Moines, and it is not likely the two schools will meet next fall. Dr. Stewart has as many games as he can provide for already sched uled away from home. The Kansas Aggies have been dropped and the Iowa game moved up ahead. Ne braska and Ames may not meet, with the Aggies insisting upon the date of November 3, but Reed is doing every thing in his power to smooth the way for a battle with the Iowans. The Saturday before the Notre Dame battle will be left open, leav ing the Huskers nearly two weeks to prepare for the coming of the proteges of Jess Harper.

CREIGHTON OFFERS TO PLAY SYRACUSE Invites Eastern Eleven to Come West to Omaha for Conflict on Turkday Next Fall. MAY CARD OTHER GAMES Creighton university stands ready to play Syracuse next Thanksgiving day if the Cornhuskers cannot find their way clear to play the eastern ers. An invitation to this effect was wired to Syracuse last night by the athletic board of the Omaha institu tion. The New Yorkers will ' be granted any guarantee within reason. Syracuse wants to come west for a drukey day game next fall and they applied to Nebraska for this date, but the Cornhuskers had al 'ready scheduled to clash with Notre Dame and had to refuse. Creighton, upon learning the news, wasted no time in offering the Syracuse lads an opportunity' to make a trip west. The local school is anxious to play Syra cuse and offered any guarantee within reason. Creighton is trying to get Syra cuse to come to Omaha because the athletic authorities believe Omaha wants to see the big foot ball elevens in action and is willing to lend every assistance in making such a hig game a success. Since Omaha alumni of the University of Nebraska have failed in their efforts to procure one of the big Nebraska games here next fall. Creighton intends to stop forward and try to make good. The invitation to Syracuse is the first move. Creighton is also trying to sched ule a game with Notre Dame and is seriously considering making over tures to other hig western schools, such as Michigan, Chicago and Northwestern. A reply from Syracuse is expected sonic tune today.
