The U. of ID. stands an excellent
chance. on dope. of coping the state
championship this year. Alma is
touted as the logical choice for the
title and her victory of 10 to over
Albion, at Albion, Saturday. removed
what Alma fans consider the last OBJ

Princeton, last years champions,

These results makes Michigan's east

The feature OF the day In the east
was the Yale-Army game. Yale was
delighted in the result as defeat was
more than half expected.
The news that the Carlisle Indians
will meet Toronto university at Tor

Interesting. They tells us that this

II will certainly be interesting to
watch the Canadian rugby team fight
against the Indians with their smash
ing American style.
Toronto officials saw the Carlisle
