Season known as one of queerest in grid era
Chicago, Nov. 26. A late season summary notes the Western conference football finals as Illinois clinching its second straight undisputed title amid a season of upsets across Big Ten teams. No undefeated league, no standout stars, and coaching changes suggested for next year. Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Northwestern, Michigan, and others formed a tightly matched, highly unpredictable circuit with keying for rivals shaping outcomes.

Managers Lose Jobs After Pennants in 1928 Series
