sat down and figured their chances.
Without Speaker the boys figured
they might be in the fight With Speak
er they decided they would be in il. Iris
filled them with pep and fighting spirit

that the attendance for 20 games IN 1916
would be greater than for all the home
contests last season

MATT SAVIDGE IS
KILLED IN FLIGHT
Nebraska's Foremost Aviator Loses
Control of His Machine at
Ewing.
CONTROL WIRES ARE JAMMED

Ewing, Neb,, June lS.-(Special
Telegram. )-While making practice
flight this evening, Matt Savidge of
the Savidge Brothers Aviation COM
pany was almost instantly killed. He
had spent the winter in Texas making
practice flights and was most sue
cessful He originated the feat of writ
ing his name in the air in his flying
machine. His looping won him renown
and he was known all over the middle
west as daring flyer. ~
His brother, John, had just finished
a trial flight and upon his return Matt
took his pl;l:e at the wheel. The ma
chine had just been assembled in the
afternoon and as a result Matt's last
words to his brother John were that
he would not try the loop. Turning at
right angle almost as soon as he
left the ground he rose rapidly to a
height of about $50 feet. The machine
seemed to be under perfect control
and he started a short spiral glide.
Within fifty feet of the start of the
glide, he seemed to lose control of the
machine and it was seen to start
straight as an arrow for the ground
His engine was running all the time
Of his fall and he could be seen trying
to regain control Of the machine.
The machine fell within 200 yards
of hundreds of spectators who failed
to realize that he was falling to his
death until the machine struck the
ground.
The Savidge Brothers were the frs
boys in Nebraska to fly and have bull
at least twenty machines. Most o
their success has been due to the fac
that they have built their own ma
chimes. While it will never be known
it was thought the accident was caus
ed by the control wires jamming.
