lasr lall HE base ball season of 1911 has been remarkable in many ways. T Some very important steps have been taken in the progress of college athletics and many long cherished and carefully nurtured plans have been nearly completed. Years ago the lovers of manly sport worked and planned that the college might some day get a gym- nasium and an athletic field. This past season the Nichol ' s Gymnasium and Alumni Field are monuments erected to those who labored for the advancement of college students along physical as well as intellectual lines. Another important advance was made when the college decided to play under Missouri Valley rules. The Kansas State Agi-icultural College turned out two base ball teams in the spring of 1911, one eligible to play under the rules of the Missouri Valley Conference and the other complying with the rules promulgated by the Kansas College Conference. The Missouri Valley Team, as it was called, played several games and won a large percentage. These players had the honor of dedicating the new athletic field, and celebrated it by winning the first game on the schedule. This achievement fades into insignificance however, when we remember that this team the first season they were together defeated K. U. twice, breaking even on the series. The team was capably captained by George Young, the pop- ular first baseman of both college teams, whose gingery playing did much to make the Missouri Valley team a success during its first season at K. S. A. C. Following the good example set by the Missouri Valley team the Kansas Confer- ence team, made up of more experienced men, won a large majority of its games. This division, led by Leo Price, has accomplished all that could be expected of it by the most sanguine supporter. With the passing of this team we have, in all probability, seen the last of a Kansas Conference team. Many familiar faces will be missing from the baseball roster next year. The class of 1911 will take with it the greatest athletes the college has ever produced. Their places will be hard to fill but it has been the hi.story of athletics at this college that when a Mallon, a Croyle or a Baird gi-aduated other stars were discovered who could fill their places. A new era dawns in the athletic history of this institution. The old regime is dead, and the athletic board watches over the destiny of physical culture. Progi-ess is the watchword, and this past spring the wheels have been set in motion. Honor and long life to the new, gratitude and respect to those who have done their share in making the new possible.
