As a result of this emerging conference, this season was Minnesota's last season as an independent. Minnesota won its first ever match with Chicago with a last minute touchdown to win a very close, physical game by a score of 10–6. Financially, the team rebounded from some lean years. They "secured a large subscription from the business men of the city, the attendance at all of the games was good, and at the close of the season there was a large surplus in the treasury."
