Kansas State University - Royal Purple Yearbook (Manhattan, KS)

dlafifi Athlrtirs jHE class athletics of this year have been, by far, the most classy that have T^ ever been recorded in the annals of Kansas State Agi-icultural College 1^ athletic history. The foot ball season was enough to inspire the best work from the class teams, and when the final score of the first inter-class game sounded, the score was three to nothing in favor of the juniors. i he seniors hooked the shriveled appendage of the score. That happens to be within one point of the lowest possible score that can win a foot ball game, so that wasn ' t bad. The next week the freshmen and sophs plaved a 5 to 5 game that had to be repeated to show that the freshmen were the better men. Still better playing. This first series left the championship between the juniors and the freshmen. Their battle resulted in a 6 to victory for the juniors. In the girls ' basket ball tournament, the sophomores came out in the lead. In the first tournament the seniors put the freshmen out of the running 22 to 15. Imme- diately after this the sophomores defeated the juniors 16 to 13. There was some real basket ball exhibited and seats were certainly at a premium on that occasion. One week later the juniors and freshmen had a little argument as to who should occupy the cellar position, the freshmen being rudely placed there 29 to 10. The seniors and sophomores then tangled in mortal combat and to the wails of the seniors the sophomores ran away 23 to 9. It is the census of opinion that the last year ' s basket ball tournament was, by far, the classiest ever staged here. The boys also staged some good basket ball games but the juniors easilv ran off with the cup, taking on the sophomores 42 to 18, and the seniors 49 to i5. The sophomores defeated the freshmen 18 to 7, so that no one can possibly question the championship of the juniors in this sport.
