The Railroad Committee of the Board OF
Aldermen yesterday afternoon by vote OF
3 TO 4, decided to report favorably to the boaro
TODAY the Rapid Transit Commissions contract
with the Pennsylvania Railroad giving that cor
poration franchise for building a tunnel under
Manhattan Island. Aldermen Goodman. Down
ing Klett and Peck, Republicans, and Owens.
Democrat voted in favor of the franchise Those
opposed to granting it were Mccall. Wafer and
I,undy. Democrats and Diemer Republican.
MI Diemer is chairman of the Railroad Com
mittee.
The favorable report will be submitted for
adoption to the board to-day, and probably VIII
lie over for one week under the rule. 1t VIII
require two-thirds vote to bring it forward for
final disposition to-day
Chairman Diemer, when interrogated regard
ing the meeting, said that after the meeting
was called to order each member had a chance
to express his views before voting The rea-
sons given t,y each member Of the committee
were a bout the same have been stated about
them in the newspapers for the last two weeks.
Continuing, Mr.. Diemer said:
II voted against the franchise to be consistent.

Alderman KIett said: Il had never committed
myself positively against the franchise have
not EXPRESSED an opinion, as L had hoped some
concession would be offered by the railroad COM
many but to-day l decided, for the sake OF the
vast amount of money that would be brought
into the citv and revert the benefit of the
neople of the metropolis, that / would vote for
a favorable report, although my feehngs are
the same regarding the freight clause in the
franchise the elimination of which consider
as important as the insertion of the LABOR
clause"
The Tammany men, acting under the auFice
of Charles F. Murphy, are almost sohdly op-
rosed ,o the granting of the franchise. Thus
fa- +bev have succeeded in fooling the labor
leaders closking their grating" game with al
,o.ed svmnathv for labor. Murphy's men last
-,;,,t declared that they had enough votes to
hat the franchise to-day. They gave the fol-
lowing list of aldermen as being against tht
franchise in its present form;

INJURIES WERE SLIGHT.
Few Men Hurt in Game at Omaha,
!. Says Coach Of South Da-
-
4 kota Team.
= tho .snortinr Editor Of The Journal

To the Sporting Editor Of The Journal.
In your issue Of Wednesday, Oct. IL,
your paper gives some space to football
game between the University Of South
Dakota and the Omaha Medical college,
and you state that this game was little
less than a free -for-all fight between the
members Of the two teams. I take the
liberty Of saying that this is an entire
exaggeration SO far as 1t concerns the
University Of South Dakota. In the list
Of casualties you state that "Novotny was
knocked senseless and carried from the
field" The truth is that Novotny was not
knocked senseless and carried from the
field You declare "Olson was knocked
down and badly trampled for strangling."
The truth is Olson was neither knocked
down nor badly trampled for strangling.
You declare Captain Newcomb'S Shout
der blade was broken" The truth is Cap
tain Newcombs shoulder blade was not
broken. You further state that 'Thomp-
son sustained broken rib and other in
juries.'' Thompson sustained no broken
rib or other injuries. You declare '*Han-
sons tibia In his right leg was broken"
The truth is that Hanson's tib1a In his
right leg is all right.
The only accident that happened to the
South Dakota team was slight fractual
in Captain Newcomb's clavicle, and the
doctor says he will be able to play in less
than two weeks Nearly all the Iowa and
Omaha papers declare that the conduct Of
the South Dakota team was very gentle
manly and that when they were unfairly
treated by the Omaha Medical students
they did not return in kind.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT LINCOLN,

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 21.--The almost unexpected
achievement Of Coach Booths cornhuskers in de-
featlng the Minnesota gophers on the latters' own
grounds, Saturday, thus celebrating Mime
sofa from all calculation in the football cham
pionshfp Of the west for this year, has aroused
gree.
The more Jealous followers Of the fortunes Of
the cornhuskers argue that Nebraska must now
be reckoned with in debating the championship
question.
1t has taken Booth three years to work out
his ideas and mould a team strong enough to
take the measure Of one Of the conference or
big nine" college elevens. He tried it once
in 1900 when his pupils were pitted against the
cornhuskers lost again to Minnesota, and also
had their colors lowered by Wisconsin,, after
giving the badgers their stiffest argument of the
year, this by admission by Coach King, Captain
Curtis and all the players on the victorious
elevens.
Booth tried again Saturday, and what was ac-
complished is one of the big surprises of the
present gr1diron year. Nebraska will have a
try at another ''big nine'' team on Thanksgiving
Day, when Northwestern comes to Lincoln to
line up against the cornhuskers. An unbroken
record Of victories until turkey day and crown
ing triumph the Methodists would make the
season Of 1902 the greatest in football history at
Nebraska university.
The cornhuskers returned from Minnesota
badly bruised, but Booth believes their
injuries will compel none to go on the hospital
list. Borg, the new center and brilliant per-
former In his position, is giving some Worry
through the entire Minnesota game with a raging
fever. Dr. Mayhem, the teams medical adviser,
Is giving Borg his attention, with good prospects
OF forestalling prolonged fever attack.

ILLINOIS NOT ovERcoNF1DENr,

Urbana, ILL.,, Oct. H.-"On to Chicago, is
the slogan at the University of illinois, All
eyes are turned toward Marshall field, where the
supremacy next Saturday. And it is no secret
that the Illinois men expecting the battle
of their lives. Wholesome respect for the
Stage aggregation has succeeded the former idea
that the contest would be comparatively easy
victory for Hollis men.
All this week Coach Holt and his assistants
will work hard trying to correct the glaring
faults which displayed themselves in last Sat
urday's contest with Purdue. Trainer Conn.,
bear will also busy himself with attending the
cripples. Should Connibear be able to get Pitts
and Bronson into shape, there would not be SO
much apprehension regarding the maroon game.
The absence of the two backs was severely felt
IN the Purdue contest, and, with the exception
Of Diener, there seem to be no acceptable SUBJ
stttutes. It Is stated that there Is little hope
Of getting both men in shape for the contest, and
Holt will look around and try to spruce up some
of the material on hand.

The light but scrappy Douglas eleven gave the
North high team something to think about in
yesterdays game. North high, expecting an
easy proposition, played listlessly In the first
half, and neither side scored, although Douglas
gave their heavier opponents scare when
Brooks made a straight buck through the line
and ran fifty yards before he was finally downed
by Barrett
In the second half, North highs weight told,
and Dexter soon broke loose and crossed the
