Ov CHICAGO UNDISPUTED BIG NINE CHAMPION Chicago. HI., Nov. 23. As a result of the football games of last week tho best team of the west must be selected from the undefeated team of the Universitj of Chicago University of Nebraska, the Michigan Agrlcul lural college and Notre Dame with the Michigan university thrown in for good measure. Chicago Is undisputed champion of the "BIk Nine' and the record of the Maroons for the season Is probably the most impressive recorded In the nine ears of the present conference organization. Nebraska has had the honor of de fertrlng two big nine teams, three Missouri Vail en conference acereen- lions and the Haskell Indians The Michigan Aggies Btand high be cause of the defeats administered to Wisconsin and Michigan Notre Dame has standing because of the humiliation of two strong teams oi the east and Michigan once defeated is entitled to a place among the leaders because of its final garner in which three of the strong teams of the east were defeated Whether some one of these five tenms has the right to claim the title of American champion Is capable of much discussion Bach of the teams of the Big Nine conference met defeat b Chicago except ex-cept Ohio State, with which no game was scheduled. Each game was a decisive and clear cut demonstration of t'hirago's superiority with the pos slble exception of the Perdue match The Perdue-Cbi ago game left some doubt In the minds of the crl'lc: whether the Maroons vera Inherently the stronger, but other Perdue games dispelled this doubt.
