nesota, that little favors Minnesota

He says:
One feature of the western game last
season was the progress of Minnesota from
second class in 1902 to first class in 1903;
for tho last year standing next to Michi-
gan in the ranking, there was wide gull
between their respective playing qualities.
A second feature of the 1903 season was
the strong team Michigan developed out
OF material Including several compare
lively green men. There is very little in
deed to choose between these two, but
that little, I believe, favors Minnesota.
Both teams played fast ball; Minnesota
stronger in line plays and with shifty in
Preferences: Michigan stronger back field
and forwards, which often proved death
to Minnesotas trick plays.
Wisconsin was doubly handicapped by
comparatively green team and the first
year Of graduate coaching system, which,
to Wisconsins great credit, was inaug-
urated this season. Under the clrcum-
stances it's showing against the leaders
was fair. Chicago played all season with
a man ineligible at any other college save
Chicago, who won the Wisconsin same
for them and saved them from greater
defeat by Michigan. Northwestern made
strides.
The chief offending element of middle
western college sport continues to be the
man who plays on baseball teams, for his
keep, or on professional and semi-profes-
sional teams for material returns which
college legislators cannot put their hands
on Such one Chicago played--in def
ance of the other western institutions.
| The 1903 season has proved that confer
| ence committee to. be in sympathy with
| this kind of thing and quite ODedlent to

West Point game has not been made.
From a reliable source, however, It
has been learned that unless unex-

team Of 1904 will again meet the
soldiers.
Captain Pierce of West Point, who
has charge Of the cadets schedule

would like to make the Chicago con-
test an annual fixture, after the game
last fall. Since then he has been in
communication with the maroons' d.
