only criterion of the work of the teams

the only western team having a clear
record of victories, and while the Badg-
ers do not claim the western champion
ship, modestly admitting it is in doubt,
they are admitted to have the clearest
title to it.
The Indians have played all the best

Harvard and Yale played them to

victory by one touchdown, and the ref
cree awarded the game to Yale after
the Indians had tied the score. a tech
