HACKERS OF WEST HAPPY

There were some football games for
the big elevens of the east and middle
west Saturday. With packed stands and
weather Cor the most part IDEAL for foot
ball, the popularity of the sport was
manifest on scores OF gridrOns.
The results were for the most part as
past performances predicted Yale won
from Princeton by a margin satisfactofF
to the followers Of the Blue. Last year
it was 81 to 8 for Yale, the year before
it was Y TO 10 and in 1876 the two played
an to o tie. In 1893 Princeton won il
to 8.
Harvard, playing safe. scored two
toUchdOWns against Dartmouth. Last
year the Crimson could make but one,
and i'm 1907 the giant green eleven from
Hanover wiped the field with Harvard.
winning D. to o.
At Ithaca the hackers of both Cornell
and Chicago were disappointed over an
other to tie. The new game played
by the MarOOns Just ma17ged to stand
off the heavier attack of Cornell.
Now comes the JOY Of the middle west,
victory that once more brings
gladness to the hearts back OF

take the defeat gracefully.
1t may have been that the defeat Of
Michigan by NOtre Dame put OvercOnfi-
dsnce i'm the Philadelphia camp, but after
the first touchdown the Quakers had am
pie opportunity to change their estimate
Of their foe. The men of YOst. however
showed themselves able to equal and best
attack their opponents could make. and
the giant bOufires burned once more on
the Ann ArbOr campus that night. In
cidentally NOtre Dame is entitled to d
place in the foremost teams of 1903 as
well as being a thorn i'm the side of
Michigan for the western championship.
Minnesota Wins.
At Madison the powerful eleven of the
University Of Minnesota crushed the Wis
cOnsin eleven by q large and decisive
score. The Badgers played desperately
for the first part of the first half and
after the GOphers' first touchdown came
back to tie the score and by kicking goal
TO take the lead. The GOpheTs were not
to be denied, however, and gradually
wore down all opposition until the latter
part Of the second half was merely a
question of the size of the GOphers' score.
The victory gives Minnesota the cham
pionsnip of the Western Conference

Aggies was easier by far tnan expected,

football cannot cope with the Utah game

With the high schools Salt Lake ran
up the record high school score against
RaysOn high and gives not even a re-
mote chance of a defeat this season. Og-

final game.
In Colorado the victory of the Haskill
Indians over Denver university, the Colo
RADIO champions, came as a surprise both
here and in Colorado. Though pounds
heavier, the faster play of the Indians
won the game. Utah hackers claim that
the same conditions would be seen IN a
