Saturday Football Games.
/ Perhaps the biggest football score
piled up this season was by Notre
Dame-140 to O-against the American
college team. Utah is classed as Sec
ond, the university defeating Fort
Douglas, 127 to @, and Nebraska tAird,
80 to 0. in the game with Creighton.

Wisconsin on Ferry field, IL to o. scor-
ing one touchdown in each half.
Moscow-Idaho 8, Whitman O. In
a game remarkable for punting and
fumbling, eleven sturdy Congregation

the Blue can still point to a goal line
that has not been crossed by an op-
ponent this season.
Butte.-In so minutes of hard, fast
play the Butte and Spokane high
schools failed to score. It was the
greatest exhibition of the gridiron
game ever seen in this city between
high schools, and from a spectacular
standpoint the game was easily rec
ord beaten.
Cambridge.-For the third consecu-
tive time the Harvard football team
failed to win a victory over the Dart
mouth college team, the score being
a tie, 6 to 6. Last year also the re-
