The team finished the season with a 12–0 record[1] and was retroactively named the national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Porretta Power Poll.[2][3] This was the third consecutive season for which Chicago was later named the Helms national champion.[2] The team played their home games on campus at Frank Dickinson Bartlett Gymnasium.
