 Coach Zuppke seasoned his team with three preliminary games and then swept through the Conference schedule without a defeat or tie. Iowa State tied the new champions in the last Conference game 1o-1o. with Zupplle hiding some ot the strategy for the big games to come.
 Minnesota also finished its Con- ference season without defeat, but won only three games to five for Illinois and the Minnesotans were held to a 14-l4 tie by Indiana in their Rig Ten debut. Minnesota fought Notre Dame to - tie in snowstorm, and wound up it's season riotiously happy over the first Nlc- tory over Michigan since 1919.
 Minnesota, Michigan, Northwest ern and Chicago are among the hardest hit by the three-year rule which sweeps away q great part oi their 1927 teams. The first three teams will lose both their great stars Jocsting and Almquist arc throusf at Minnesota; Oosterbaan and Gill bert have played their last game al Michigan; Lewis and Gustafson bo'i are ready to graduate at North ! western.

New Britain led at half time by an IS 10 l7 score.

w. C.. T. u. COLUMN
Platform Adopted by Convention.

In this fifty-third annual convention
the National w. C. T. u records its
thanksgiving for iv in e leadership.
throughout the years. We acknow-
ledge God as the source of all power
and reconsecrate ourselves to His SER
vice in the organization which He
called into being. We look forward
to continued activity until the vic
tory is complete.
In pursuance of these fundamental
principles, we adopt the following
platform:
Prohibition is the best method of
dealing with the liquor traffic; the
benefits derived therefrom are in di-
rect proportion to the observance of
the law and to the degree of enforce
'ment.
We pledge the active support of our
organization to an educational cam
paign to promote law observance: to
support enforcement officials and the
nomination and election of officials
who are the undoubted friends of pro-
hibition and who really care that
America shall receive full benefit
therefrom.
Prohibition in the hands of its
friends is the first requisite for law
enforcement. We commend every con-
structive effort on the part of the gov
eminent for law enforcement
We emphasize the necessity of CO.
operation on the part of the indi-
vidual citizen.
We declare that every citizen
should accept his citizenship obliga-
ton by voting in the primaries and
on election day; that dry voters
should actively support dry candi-
dates for nomination and election.
We commend federal and state Of
ficers who at personal risk are faith
fully doing their duty. We pay trib-
ute to the brave men who have lost
their lives enforcing the law and ex-
tend our sympathy to their families.
Non mandatory referenda asking
Congress to delegate to states the
power to fix the alcoholic content of
Intoxicating liquors are valueless in
affecting legislation and are po-
litical trick to deceive the people.
We refuse to accept the Canadian
plan of government sale as a substi-
