Urbana, 111., Oct. 31. Forward passes gave Illinois a' 17 .to 7 vic tory over Minnesota Saturday, the stonewall line of the Gophers making it necessary for the Illini to depend on aerial attack. Illinois was outplayed in the first quarter, Minnesota carrying the ball to the 15-yard line twice, but lacking the punch to cros the final line. Walqtiist broke loose in the middle of the second quarter and had a clear field ahead when he fell, los ing a chance for an Illinois touch down.

Omaha Ball Teams Need Place to Play Amateur Association Will Ask City "Dads" for Help in Erecting Park. Omaha is badly in need of a large enclosed municipal athletic field or stadium, where in future years the local amateur base ball players and others interested in out-door sports may have the opportunity to stage their battles. The time has now arrived, where some definite action should be taken iniediately by the city com missioners, as amateur base ball is rapidly increasing, each season, and with the possibility of arranging an inter-city championship tournament here next season it will be necessary to have an enclosed field of this kind. Within the next few weeks, of ficials of the Municipal Amateur Base Ball association will launch a campaign and request the city com missioners to erect a stadium, where the local association may stage its city and inter-city series champion ship contests, charging a nominal fee, in order to meet expenses. With Luxus park, the only en closed amateur park in Greater Omaha, being torn down this winter, the local asociation will suffer a big setback unless the commissioners take some action. Plans have been underway for the past two years to erect an enclosed park, at Twenty-first and L streets, South Side, but little has yet been ac complished by the city. This loca tion is a most suitable place for the city to build a stadium, as it is lo cated near three car lines. Officials of the association are in favor of this spot. Omaha Packers May Organize Base Ball League Next Season Amateur base ball for next season is already being discussed among the packing plants and if plans are carried out, as they no doubt will, 1 tour or six of the plants on the South Side will form a league, to be known as the Packers league. This information was given out yesterday by Secretary J. J. Isaac son of the Municipal Amateur Base Ball association. The Armours, lo cal semi-pro and Nebraska semi pro champions, are in favor of form ing a league, and Morris, Cudahy and Swifts have also signified their intentions of joining, should a league be formed. A meeting among the packers will be held next month and plans for forming such a league will be discussed. Yale Defeats Soap mi ii in Makers m nam uame New Haven, Conn., Oct. 31.

The Corn- husker foot ball party, which plays Rutgers in New York election day, arrived in Chicago at 9 o'clock Sat urday morning and immediately boarded a suburban train for Stagg field, where the team, under direc tion of Dr. Leuhring and Captain Bill Day, held a 45-minute brisk practice. 1 he .weather was perfect and had its effect in lending in creased vigor to the already high morale of the team. The field, being somewhat muddy, made forward passing a difficult task to complete and offered conditions such as the team may be glad to have experi enced. The team carries no major injuries, and, with the exception of the slight bruises of Howarth, Schoeppd and Dana, the squad is in the prime of condition. Following practice, the Cornhuskers dined at the Keynolds club, on the commons adjoining Stasg field, and thereafter broke ranks to visit friends for the next two hours. The Ohio State-Chicago Univer sity foot ball game furnished enter tainment during the balance of the afternoon. The squad spejat a quiet trip en route to Chicago, after the usual sendoff given by the band and other varsity supporters at Lincoln. Aside from the regular and substitute play ers, the Cornhusker party consists of Dr. J. J. Lees, Dr. and Mrs. O. V. Everett, A. W. Goodwin and E. C. Dinsmore. At 8 p. m. the Cornhuskers left for Niagara Falls over the Michigan Central railroad. Mortensen Matched To Wrestle Edwards fpntrsl fitv M Oct. 31. CSne- cail.)

Purdue defeated Michigan in their dual cross-country meet here Saturday. 'inancia ial By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES, Chicago Tribune-Omaha lie I -cased Wire. New York, Oct. 31. Wall Street met with so much discouragement last week in the matter of the pred icated "pre-election rise, that it will be interesting this week to see how the hopes of an "after-election mar ket" will fare. The "election market" is as robust a financial tradition as that of the bad business, which is sure to arrive in the campaign months of presidential years and botl traditions persist, notwithstanding repeated occasions of non-fulfillment. This has certainly been a year of bad business, but the causes for it were so clearly manifest and so en tirely disconnected with anything in the political situation, that even the stump speakers have been timid about putting the blame for it on the other party. Depend on Money Market. Today the financial markets and the business situation both depend as thry have depended for many' weeks, on tho course of the money markets and the actual developments in trails. Nothing has yet occurred to indicate a radical change in either. The past week'i movement of money rutea on the ttock exchaufte Iisb amount.! to a veto on the extensive use of crcllt for speculation, and the federal reserve systm's ratio or reserve to liability at the end of last week was lower than a week before and less than 1 per cent above the low mark.'t of its history. With all the drastic program of de nying "nonessential loans." the system's outstanding lonn account today la t$, 700.010 larger than a week ago, 1576.00(1 . (100 larger than at the beginning of last November, and only 112,000.000 less than at the high mark of the present year. New Low Marks. As for business conditions. 10 of tho most Important commodities of trade have reached, within the past few days, the lowest price since the armistice. Tho mercantile community ta tit ill unmistak ably in the grasp of trade reaction; some parts of it have not yet emerged from a condition fairly close to business panic. These are the visible facts of the situa tion, hut they undoubtedly have important offsets. One of these offsets Is the certainty of easier money and of great relaxation In the strain ou credit of December, as a re sult of the ending of the active business season at a time when industrial liquida tion has been so thorough. Another is the fact that, whatever perplexity the Sep tember railway statements may have oc casioned the railway investment undoubt edly entered a brighter chapter of ex pense. Third, offsetting consideration lies in the fact lhat, after so abnormally rapid a decline in the wholesale commodity mar kets, tt is impossible that new buying should not have been attracted, of a char acter which la bound to operate before very long In steadying the weakest parts of the Industrial position.

Illinois Central's 1920 Bill for New Equipment Totals $27,109,768 The railroads of the United States have not been able to move promptly all the traffic offered, and business has suffered. This con-. dition has been caused, very largely, by a lack of locomotives and cars. ' The railroads are not to blame. For a decade preceding the war an anti-railroad spirit prevented the levying of rates which would guar antee an investment return sufficient to attract capital for financing: the purchasing of adequate equipment; and during Federal control equipment purchased fell far short of the average of preceding years. Now that the railroads have been returned to the control of their owners and more adequate rates have been awarded, the purchase of quipment has increased greatly. The Illinois Central has placed orders to date for locomotives and cars which will cost $27,109,768. The purchases include: 150 Locomotives 2,150 Coal Cars 1,000 Refrigerator Cars 500 Stock Cars 300 Box Cars 200 Flat Cars 20 Suburban Coaches 12 Compartment Coaches 18 Baggage Cars ' 5 Dining Cars 50 Caboose Cars A part of this equipment has been received. Further deliveries are under way, and will be kept up for a period of twelve months. The 150 locomotives cost $11,809,675. One hundred are for freight service and are 40 per cent larger in tractive power than any now in general use on pur lines. Twenty-five are for passenger serv ice and twenty-five are for switch service. Their delivery will begin this month and will be completed early next year. The 4,150 freight cars cost $13,473,600. We have received 1,500 coal cars. The delivery of the remainder has begun and will extend over a period of twelve months. The fifty-five cars for passenger train service cost $1,676,493. They will be delivered during the first three months of next year. The fifty caboose cars cost $150,000. Nineteen have been de livered the balance will be ready January 1. In addition to this amount expended for new equipment, the Illi nois Central System has appropriated $8,000,000 since the return of its property for enlargement of roadway facilities. Much of this work is under way. While the growth of the Illinois Central System may not have kept pace with the growth of business in the territory served by it, that it has not stood still is evidenced by the fact that during the past ten years it has expended $169,279,178 for additions and betterments to its property. Your attention is invited to these figures as testimony that our first consideration is service to the public. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H.
