NEW MANAGER HERE
L. A. Keller to Become Man
ager of Northwest Terri
tory at Portland, Ore.
H. 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.

In a Decision Bout
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 11. The
wrestling match scheduled here to
morrow night between "Strangler"
Lewis, the Kentuckian, and Ad San
tell, regarded as the Pacific coast
champion, will be in the nature of a
championship contest, according to
local sporting authorities.
With Frank Gotch apparently re
tired and Lewis and Joe Stecher, on
sidered,the two men next in line for
the heavyweight crown, credited with
a five-hour draw bout, Santell, in the
event of a victory over Lewis, would
be considered considerable right to
the title.
The bout is limited to two hours
and calls for a decision whether or
not there is a fall. Should neither
man succeed in throwing theo ther,
the contest will be awarded to the
man making the better showing.
Lewis will have an advantage in
weight of forty or forty-five pounds
over his rival.

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.

Mitchell, S.D, Boy
Shoots a Burglar
Mitchell, S. D Dec. 11. Aroused
from sleep by the barking of a dog
in an adjoining room in his home last
night, Albert Coffel, 16 yeari old,
awoke to find a burglar in his room.
He leaped from his bed to attack the
intruder and was stabbed twice. The
boy then jumped over the bed, seized
a revolver he had kept hidden under
his pillow and shot the burglar. The
burglar escaped, leaving a trail of
blood to testify to the accurate aim
of the boy. Coffel's wounds are not
serious, it is said. In the semi-darkness
of the room the boy was unable
to identify his assailant.
