pute the claim for the championship title. Mich
igan finished the season Saturday with its great
victory Chicago. Students at Ann Arbor
saw in its undefeated eleven the rightful claim
ant for first honors among western teams.
Up in the north, Minnesota defeated Wiscon-
sin % to 0, precisely the same total which
Yosts machine rolled up on the badgers. The
badgers did not profess themselves weaker in
Saturdays game than they against Mchi-
gan, and on this comparison supporters of the
gopher eleven claim first honers for Williams
squad.
Michigan has not been defeated and is thru
for the year. The same does not hold with
Minnesota, as the gophers still have two more
games to play: They meet Northwestern next
Saturday in Chicago and on Thanksgiving Day
they face Iowa. Iowa was defeated by Ne
braska, the team which held Minnesota to six
teen points, and scored twelve themselves. From
this the Minnesota rooters argue that the hawk
eyes should be easy picking. It is, consequent
| ~, taken for granted that Minnesota will beat
Iowa. But what about Northwestern? With
| Iowa out of the reckoning, the championship
| honors would hang on this game, from Mime
| sofa viewpoint.
Should Minnesota dispose Of both Northwestern
and Iowa, it is argued that the gophers would
have fully good a claim to the championship
as Michigan. The only team both have met
or will meet, is Wisconsin. The score was the
| same in both contests, and, altho comparative
| scores count for little, it would seem to be the
only means of arriving at the strength of the
| two claimants. There is no chance that the
| argument will be settled, and nothing but verbal
| claim IS likely to WIND up the season OF 1904
Figuring Michigan and Minnesota even
terms, Chicago will close the season as the Sec
ond-best team: provided it disposes Of Wisconsin
| on Thanksgiving Day. This the are
| expected to do, as, with a somewhat crippled
| team, they made far better showing against
Michigan than Wisconsin threatened to do.
| Only one game in the east held the attention
of the followers Of the sport Saturday-the Yale
| Princeton battle. As at Ann Arbor, the heavier
team came out victor. altho the tigers put up
desperate struggle. 1t is now up to the sons Of
Ell to dispose of Harvard next Saturday by a
bigger score than did Pennsylvania and the
championship flag will wave the elms at

year. Minnesota has yet to play and defeat
Northwestern and Iowa before she lay claims
to the title, but the gophers look equal to the
task before them, and will doubtless again finish
theh season on par with the Ann Arbor team.
Despite protests and urgings by alumni of the
two schools and the followers Of the game, there
is no possibility Of these bitter foes getting
together. The Michigan team broke training
Immediately after the Chicago game, and Yosr
