MAY HAVE A CLAIM
AS WESTERN CHAMPS
far-Fetched Comparative Scores
Make High School Better
Than Minnesota.

If comparison of football scores
really counted for anything, Rock Is
land by defeating st. Ambrose on
Thanksgiving day, could lay claim TO
the championship Of the west, provided
also that Minnecota is accorded the
conference title as seems likely. The
line Of reasoning is this: Rock Island
defeats st. Ambrose and ST. Ambrose
defeated Dixon normal, Dixon normal
defeated DePaul by a more decisive
score than did Marquette university cf
Milwaukee and Marquette Won from
South Dakota university by a larger
score and more decisive score than did
Minnesota university. Therefore Rock
Island, by defeating St. Ambrose of
course, viii have a team that on CON-
partive scores is stronger that Mime
6ota. Showing how much compare
tive scores far-fetched are worth.
