Now, the fact that honors have
had TO be shared is not in itself a
disturbing fact to those that have
been obliged to share them The
trouble is that the ties have been
reached by teams that have not had
the same quality of competition.
How Advantage Is Gained.
1t is pointed out, for instance, that
Michigan had fine lead in base
ball until Ohio State played two
games with the weakest team in the
conference. Chicago. winning both,
while Michigan did not play the
Maroons at all
Again. II is pointed out by Michi-
gan enthusiasts that in the 1923 bas-
ket ball race the teams that finished
ahead of the Maize and Blue PLAYED
two games each with Northwestern
while Michigan did not have even
one chance to improve her standing
al the expense of the weak sister
of Evanston
AS to foot ball, only in 1920 and
1871 did the teams that finished first
and second meet the same number
OF conference opponents
y" nat IS TO be done about It? Nothing

The Illini foot ball schedule for
1925 gives practical point to what
Huff says
There are, in fact, universities in the
conference less strong than their sis
ters who do not desire to play heavier
schedules. Illinois was herself dropped
by three of these.

settled when the conference authori-
