Boston Braves, and who will be the
clubs president, is better known in
the football world than he is to the
baseball fans. His friends are pre-
dieting that if he Incorporates tho

Braves he will soon command as much
attention in baseball as he has in foot
ball the last eight years. Haughton
not only was a football star, but he
played baseball and was one of the
stars of the varsity nine and captained
the team in 1899. He became Harry

but before it had progressed far both
teams woke to their tasks and the pas
time became interesting. Samuelson
was the demon for Augie, starting the
scoring by long neatly placed shot
and continuing his fast exhibition
throughout. He was the leader Of the
fray and with the material assistance
of Bergh, who negotiated five field
goals, set the pace for the locals with
seven goals.
Gleason, erstwhile hero of the local
high school, initiated his basketball
career at Augustana by taking Berghs
place in the last half, putting up fast
battle. For the visitors, Trevor at for

its vote against the measure. Presi-
dent BURNER stated that the reason
for voting in the negative was that
the wording Of the resolution gave
the committee power to act" which
would mean that should the committee
decide to transfer a franchise to Rock
Island it could do so, while the con-
stitution requires unanimous vote on
this question at any other than the
annual meeting. Waterloo's negative
vote, it is contended, prevents any
committee from taking any action on
the transfer.
No word has been received from
President Justice as to whether the
proposed committee will visit Rock Is
land or not. Mr.. Bass of Marshalltown
has declined to serve on the commit
tee.
