The1907 Western Conference football season was the twelfth season ofcollege football played by the member schools of theWestern Conference (later known as the Big Ten Conference) and was a part of the1907 college football season.

In April 1907, Michigan was voted out of the conference for refusing to adhere to new league rules that had been adopted earlier and spearheaded by UM presidentJames Burrill Angell.[1][2][3] As a result, Western Conference schools were not supposed to play Michigan again until they rejoined the league in 1918.

In 1907, Iowa helped form theMissouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association withKansas,Missouri,Nebraska, andWashington University in St. Louis, while still maintaining membership in the Western Conference. The MVIAA would eventually become theBig Eight Conference.

Season overview

[edit]

With a 4-0 conference record, the Chicago Maroons would claim the 1907 championship, finishing 4-1 overall. Their only loss came to theCarlisle Indians, led by head coachPop Warner, All-AmericanPete Hauser, and newcomerJim Thorpe

Wisconsin would finish behind the Maroons at 3-1-1 (all Western games), and Illinois followed at 3-2 (also, all Western games). Iowa also had a 3-2 overall record, but went 1-1 in conference play.

Minnesota, Indiana, and Purdue all wrapped up the year winless in the conference, but only Purdue went the 1907 season without a victory.

Northwestern was in their second season without a football program, last playing a game in1905. The Purple would be welcomed back to the gridiron in1908.
