Saturday Football Games Wound Up Football Season.

Practically all college games of football for 1913 were wound up with last Saturday, when many of the greatest gridiron battles of the season were staged. Probably no contest created so much interest in Rensselaer as that between Chicago and Wisconsin Universities, and which resulted in a 19 to 0 victory for Chicago. The game was witnessed by several from here. It was a great game and demonstrates the ability of “Old Man” Stagg as a coach. Chicago won the conference championship by this game. Purdue crushed Indiana beneath a 42 to 7 score, Oliphant and Glossop starring in their “exit” appearance, as both have played the three years allowed in the conference. In the east Harvard defeated Yale and is regarded the eastern champion team. The big eastern Thanksgiving game will be between Pennsylvania and Cornell, while the season will conclude with the Army-Navy game on the following Saturday. The local interest now centers in the high school contest for Thanksgiving day, when the red and black will oppose Bowen high school of Chicago.
