Becauso of the variance in the number of games to be played between the teams comprising the Western Intercollegiate League, and the doubt as to which of these games courit in flguring the percentages, the standings of the teams are in doubt.

Northwestern plays threa games with each of the other teams. If all of these games are to be counted there is a manifest unfairness, as Michigan and Chicago play more games than do Illinois and Northwestern. Unless certain of the extra games are thrown out. the only way to determine supremacy is by using the winning of the sertes as a basis.

Four pianos, a large mandolín and banjo club, and a good orehestra will fumish the music. This year the Festival will be, perhaps, more popular than ever as it will be of a more patrlotio nature.
