Illinois Seeks
Nebraska Date
Manager of Athletics Has Difficult
Problem to Solve in Taking
on Big Teams.

LINCOLN, March 6.-(Special. 1.-THE Uni
versity OF Illinois wants 10 meet the Corn
huskers In foot ball on November 10. This
was the date requested by the Champaign
school in a letter received by Manager
Earl o. Eager Of the local state school this
morning.
The Nebraska management has been
planning on the Illinois game for several
months as the contest to fill out the Ne
braska schedule, and now that the Sucker
institution has consented to meet the local
team Director Eager is not certain that
he wishes to book the game. He does
not like to play the Illini on November Is
and that is the only reason which keeps
him from Immediately signing up a con-
| tract with the Champaign school.
During all the negotiations for a game,
Manager Eager has been trying to get nli-
nols TO play the Cornhuskers on October
2, date on which the Cornhuskers have
no game and a day which would probably
not find the Nebraska players in a weak
ened condition, as the schedule will ther
be young and the men will have had nc
really hard games for the two Saturday.
previous to that day. The Cornhuskel
manager at the same time has been trying
TO keep November 10 an open date becaus,
the two Saturdays preceding that day will
witness the Cornhuskers In hard games
and the Thursday following it will find
the Cole men In battle with the Haskell
Indians.
II Illinois is put on the Cornhuske
schedule for November 70. the Nebrask,

Assistant Superintendent OF Police
O'Leary, who has been practically in
charge OF the police since the strike be-
gan was pleased today with the situation.
This has been the quietest day since the
strike began" he declared. THE sympa-
thetic strike was the best thing that could
happen from police point OF view. The
average working man at first assisted the
striking carmen, he heitated when the
strike reached his own home"
Continuing o'Leary said;
The Philadelphia workngman is a law
abiding American citizen In nearly every
ovase he either owns his little home or has
an equity in II. When Il comes to such a
man striking out Of sympathy for q lot
of unskilled laborers he hesitated and tho
result is the fizsle Of yesterday.
Mayor Takes Firm stand.
THE firm stand taken by Mayor Rey-
burnin uphoiding the police has had much
to do with keeping down iawlessness,
orders hnvo been obeyed implicitly and
with alacrity. We have maintained through
out the city, twenty-sevsn flying squad
rons' or emergency stations with fifty or
moro policemen at each and sufficient au-
tomobiles to carry them to the scene Of
disorder in any part OF the city OF it's
$50 miles Of trolley traekage In less than
five minutes. Thus before disturbance
has time to grow TO the proportions OF a
riot we have the men on the scene TO break
Il up The rapid action Of the district at
torney's office and the courts and the Sc
we're sentence imposed upon rioters aided
materially in the preservation of order"
The police heads have been on duty day
and night since the strike began. sixteen
days ago, all OF them eating and sleeping
in the city hall In addition hundreds Of
cots have been placed in the big building
for the use OF policemen kept for riot calls
and all these have been fed from nearby
restaurants. The city hall has been prac-
tically on a war footing since the car
mems strike started. II was stated by
city official that the strike is adding sSO,-
900 day to the expense of running ths

A report of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company says that up to yesterday, the
beginning of the third wek Of the strike the
total cost had been between S7500O0 and
$4,000 TO the company. Asked how long
the company could stand the expense he
said
THAT is less than t1,OOO,OOo. The COM
pany Is ready and willing TO spend several
