This season the Ohio State eleven has had an especially successful record. Besides winning the Conference Championship, the Buckeyes were victorious in all five of their "Big Ten" contests. They are especially noted for their forward passing game, having pulled three of these games out of the fire in the closing minutes of play in this manner. But besides this, this eleven has been chosen to meet the University of California in the newly established annual East vs. West contest at the Pasadena "Carnival of Roses...

A. V. Byington and F. M. Seamans have also distinguished themselves by their play as forwards, and with L. C. Keyes, J. E. Molena and K. I. Hutchinson 1E.S., should materially strengthen the squad...
