Travellers SET
RECORD WITH 10
GAMES IN A ROW
Would Have Been II Straight
But For One Game Dropped
to Kansas University
By ALFRED YAP

CHICAGO, Ill, May S.-Our team
has been playing for almost four
weeks straight without a days rest
and even at that rate We have been
doing fine. Wa would have set rec
ord for the number of consecutive
games won had our team not lost the
, first of the two games with Kansas
University at Lawrence, Kas. The
number of games won would have
been 81 straight but that defeat by
Kansas University fell between four
straight and Is straight and so We are
only credited with l6 straight. This is
a better record than the team of 1913
had done by two games. The winning
streak was broken by the Chicago Uni
versity, l to o. ~.
Since am about 10 games behind
our schedule, think it will be bet
ter for me, as we'll as those at home,
to give a short and concise account OF
each of those 10 games so that all
will be up to the last game and up
with the schedule.
