This statement is in response to the challenges issued to Columbia by Purdue and Wisconsin, rival claimants for the Western honors, and by Wesleyan, winner of the New England championship. [...] Still, an Eastern-Western championship game or series at basketball would be much appreciated by enthusiasts. The fact is, however, that real national intercollegiate championships are practically impossible of demonstration nowadays in most lines of sport. There are too many colleges, too many students of nearly equal abilities taking part, and too many widely separated sections of the country, each creating its own champion.
