That is why he made his two changes, Rankin from halfback, and later when Tom Wilson, last year's Freshman star was hurt, the conversion of Johnson from his center job. How successful...
...State Limited had met with an almost identical disaster on the Southern Pacific's tracks near Tucumcari, N. M., had killed eight, injured 40 (TIME, Sept. 4 ).
