The 1917 season was almost canceled due to the United States entering World War I, but over the summer, the decision was made to go ahead and play a reduced football schedule. The team finished second in the Big Ten.

Tackle George Hauser was named an All-American by the Associated Press. Hauser was also named All-Big Ten first team.

Famous quotes containing the word season:

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
