Foot Ball Team Pai Chance to Play
Illinois and Wisconsin

DEUEY MOSS LEAVES SCHOOL
' AMES,' la., Ja. .-(8clsl.)-The
gridiron date-makers of the I'nlverslty ot
Illinois, Is t 'year champion of the "IMg
Nliia" roterlc, offered Director .Williams
of Ames a chance to play the t'yclones
against the herlon Illml this fall. Not
only dd Illinois send a challenge to tha
Cyclon camp,, but Wisconsin did, 'too.
Director William declined to a ftcept both
Invitations, for the reasons: . 'The Ames
schedule wna filled with all the major
games It will carry this year; both' chal
lengers wanted October , which Is the
date given to Minnesota, and there was
no desire ti Interrupt the long and
pleasant relations with the (iophcts; both
games, at Crbana and Madlnon, would
cause tha Cyclones to t on trains for too
long a time, considering the very round
about connections. .
The Cyclone gridiron plans for this fall
wer given a keun surprlH when Drury
Moss, the all-conference quarter last fnll,
Informed the coaches that the end ot the
first semester, which Is the last of the
presetn week, will be the end of colleg
days and foot ball for him. Moss says he
Is leaving coilcg to go into mercantile
business, never to return, k
Th new foot ball schedule Is practically
complete, and It will be a facsimile of
the 1914 schedule, except that It will
bring mor of th big elevens to th
Stat college field, although Iowa plays
the blar slate game on Its own lot. Th
following da to are announced:
October Minnesota at Minneapolis.
October 23 Missouri at Ames.
October Su-Nebreska at Ames.
November l-loWa at Iowa City.
November 30 Drake at Des Moines.
Co and Cornell Date undecided.

of Cyclone hopefulness, but the,y are

STATUS OF NEGRO FIREMEN
- . r
Bailroadi Charge Brotherhood with
Trying to Eliminate Black Men 1
from Engine Cabt.
UP TO THE BO ADS, SAYS CARTER
CHICAGO. Jan. !?7.-Cliarges tnst , the
trotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
IZngluenicn Is trying to deprive negro
firemen of their Jobs were msde before
the board of arbitration In the western
railroad wago hearing here todny.
The subject came up In consideration of
the question whether the .firemen of the
Vasoo k Mississippi Valley railroad, a
subsidiary or th Illinois Central,, are
party to the arbitration.
In the course of the debate W, S. Car
ter of counsel for the cnglnemaa ad
mitted that these firemen, mostly ne
groes, wer not directly' represented when
agreement to arbitrate was made, but
that since then a majority of them had
requested that they be represented.
Jsinea Pheean, attorney for th rail
roads, asserted that Carter wanted the
negro firemen included so that white men
might displace them in their position.
"If It works out that way," said Car
ter, "it will be th fault ot th railroads.
They hire negroes because they are
cheaper. Many of them cannot even
read th rul book, and are far less com
petent than white men, but 'safety first"
U not considered wher the railroads ran
save a dollar. If the railroads are com
pelled to pay a going rat they will gt
competent help. It may be whit that
la for them to decide."
"How did you persuade these negroes
to sign this petition If they knew they
wer signing away their own JobsT"
ieked Charles Naacl, board member.
"I don't think they knew It," replied
Carter, "but It la not right to say that
the award ppderan Amerfrwv law shiui
not apply allk to whit and negro.'
'. "Thoy stand on a r eommon footing
here," reirtarked Judge Yrltc.hard. chair
man of tlic' board. Carter continued:
"When the railroad found that w
were obtaining th consent ot th Yasoo
road' firemen to represent them coerclv
Influences were put to work, and the
men wer told that th award would cost
them their Jobs."
