Game with Illinois.
A game with the pigskin chasers of
Illinois is now assured for Thanksgiving
Chairman Weir of the Nebraska team has
received a proposition from the manager
OF the Illinois team. offering to come here
at that time for $1,000. Some time ago
the Nebraska manager offered the Illinois
people $1,000 for the game. The guarantee
Of $1,000 is the same that was given to the
Northwestern team, and there is little
doubt but what the board Of managers will
schedule the game.
The chances for a game with Iowa are
growing brighter, and there is little doubt
that a game will be booked with that state,
This game can be arranged on the alternate
year plan, and IL 1t is scheduled It will
mean that Nebraska goes to low City next

in Lincoln. 1t is thought a game will be
