| ATHLETICS WILLIAM S. TAYLOR Coach Wj J2 THEODORE WALLS Coach SUMMARY OF SPORTS FOR 1930-1931 By R. Ia'NAIU) BAKER Oik j ains from retrospection, n more comprehen- sive interpretation of a situation, then possible while it is actually being experienced. On looking hack, one sees the fallacy of many a hasty conclusion, the erroneousness of many opinions formed under the in- fluence of momentary emotions, the time, if long enough, generally smooths out many sharp points of dissension. Had I attempted to put down a few words upon this subject of s]M rts, several months previous, I dare say it would have been a prediction of a very pessi- mistic nature. Now, however, in making calmly a retrospect of the athletics for the past year, I am forced to admit that from the athletic standpoint the year has been a success, creditable to ('ouch Taylor and his various proteges. There were moments when skeptism reigned, and when many felt that the heights of attainment were not reached, in justification of the abilities compris- ing the various teams. Nevertheless, nothing human ever reaches the state of perfection, so one should not condemn too severely those moments of mediocrity. Whether the fault rested with the couch, the teams, or the spirit of the student body, it is difficult to say, for each one is an indispensable factor to the others. There is still room for improvement and greater eo-operation between these important units, and we are Imping for the best during the next year. The sports curricula of Lincoln University is more varied than one might realize at a hasty glance. Be- sides the three or four traditionally major sports, such as football, basketball, baseball and track, there are numerous other activities of athletic nature and which are confined mainly to the campus. The Inter- mural activities being the largest in this group. The following in more or less ini|mrtance are the teams in tennis, soccer, cricket, golf and volley-ball. It is not my purpose to give a microscopic analysis of all the sports for the year, hut merely a general- ized summary of the entire group, touching momen- tarily upon the most important. As 1 stated pre- viously, athletically, the past year has been a suc- cess. Beginning rather slowly with football, the teams gathered momentum as the year rolled on and culminating in the regaining of the 0. I. A. A. Cham- pionship in track. 21
