West and found teams that worried them as much ns had the crimson. This only goes to show that the East and West are eoming quickly to a level in foot-ball mntters. As a result of her decisive defeat of Chicago, says a Chicago coi respondent, MiehigAn can, with much justice, claim the championship of the West. She has not played the strong teams west of the Mississippi— Missouri, Nebraskn, and Kansas—but there is rot good reason for believing that she does not excel them, improved as they are along with the other teams of the West.,, Purdue’s defeat of Illinois after the latter’s decisive victory over Northwestern and the close score between the Indiana men and Ann Arbor —12 to 10— places Purdue high in the Western plane. The scores at the close of Thursday’s games stood ns follows: University of Michigan, 12; University of Chicago, 0. Chicago Athletic Association, 4; Boston Athletic Association, 4. Purdue, 6; University of Illinois, 2. University of Pennsylvania, 46; Cornell, 2. University of Nebraska, 6; lowa University, 0. Missouri University, 10; Kansas University, 6. Brown University, 10; Dartmouth, 4. Stanford, 6; University of California, 6.
