After another pair of wins over a second local club, Marquette played their first intercollegiate game of the season and escaped with a narrow victory over Wisconsin.

They were routed by the Blue and Gold, keeping Marquette's record pristine and placing the hilltoppers firmly at the top of the league standings.

After a second victory over Wisconsin a week later, Marquette was just one game away from capturing their first championship and they headed to Minneapolis at the end of the month with that goal in mind.

Minnesota was finally able to pull ahead and then tried to hold onto their lead (sudden death rules were not in effect) but McFadyen managed to even the score before time had expired and the game was declared a draw.

The tie meant that Minnesota, who was 8–2–2 in league play, couldn't finish ahead of Marquette (6–0–1) so the Blue and Gold were guaranteed the Western Intercollegiate title.

The Gophers got a bit of revenge in the final game, preventing Marquette from finishing with an undefeated record, but Iverson's team were Collegiate Champions.
