but must be admitted that II Michi-

d be about the least classy bunch
IN Tchamps that the west has had In

IN the struggle, but that by no
Cans that they are without opposi-
such men as Williams. Minnesota
fLtcsn, and Johnny McGoyern, VIII

faIt Minnesota will have good

fN more impartial critic, Pat Page,

rntor, Stagg, also believes that
