This is the 50th season of Western Conference fcot­ boll. Over a half century, the Western Conference hos grown into one of the strongest intercollegiate confer­ ences in the country. It is strong not only in its teams and individual stars, but in safeguarding the principles of amateurism on which the game was founded. The first Western Conference season sow the seven founding universities in action. They were Chicago, Minnesota, Michigan, Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Northwestern. Chicago won the original conference championship. The following season Iowa and Indiana joined and the Conference was known as the Big Nine until 1905, when Michigan withdrew. It become the Big Nine again with the admission of Ohio State in 1913 and ALEX VERDOVA back the Big Ten w hen Michigan renew~d its membership in Ha lf 1917. Although Chicago gave up foo tball competition in 1939, the conference st ill is fondly and familiarly known as the Big Ten.
