FOOTBALL REVIEW 9 Outside of one basketball game and one or two football games the Wesleyan students have nothing to be ashamed of in the way of athletics. When a team is beaten by a superior team there is nothing to be ashamed of but when an inferior team humbles it, then. there is something to regret. Looking back over the football season we find that the team won five and lost four games. They started out like a house afire when they took the game from Maryville Col- lege, a team with a superior rating, by a score of 13 to 6. As the season progressed the team had its ups and downs One Saturday it would look like a team of well trained col- legians and then it would play the game of a country high school. The two games that the Coach and team regretted were the King game and the Bryson game. The King game went fourteen to 6 and the Bryson game 24 and 6. These games went to teams which football experts judged inferior to Wes- leyan — therefore the blot on the Escutcheon. The two games which the Wesleyan students have the right to be most proud of were the Union game which they t ook by a score of 46 to 0, and the showing against U. T. Frosh. Although the Frosh game was dropped by a score of 34 to 0, it was a good game from the Wesleyan stand- point. The Frosh had their best team in years. They had the Wesleyan eleven outweighed much. They had reserve material galore — and they used all of these advantages. Six of the Wesleyan players were carried off the field and when the game ended few Wesleyan regulars were in the lineup. Scoring for the nine games give Wesleyan a composite- score of 216 and her opponents 118. ATHLETICS AND SCHOLARSHIPS 9 Athletics are popularly thought of as a barrier to good scholarship and it is always a subject of front page interest when a great athlete takes a Rhodes Scholarship or some similar scholarship recognition. The public in general thinks of athlet s as stud ents who have perfectly marvelous muscles but whose grades read like the thermometer of a polar expedition. The athletes of the graduating class this year thoroughly disprove that athletics are a bar to good scholarship. The valedictorian of the class has had an athletic career running four years back. He has captained two teams this year and has always participated in athletics the year round, taking part n baseball, basketball and football. Of the ether men of major athletic standing who are grad- uating three are rated by the faculty and fellow students as excellent students and the remainder as students of mors than the average ability and industry. In this group it would seem that athletics stimulated the mind. ATHLETIC CUP © Many Wesleyan Seniors have never noticed the Athletic Cup which sets in Mr. Currier ' s office. This is practically the enly athletic award given at Wesleyan and deserves mention. This cup was proposed six years ago by Messrs. Roberts and Blair and was given by them to the school. They proposed that each year the names of students most valuable to the team, selected by the squad, should be engraved on the cup. This year the name of Roy Walden was engraved under those cf Joe Durham, Bullets Boyer, Bud Strange, Here Alley and Rube McCray. Two graduating players this year have played with ail these men. Thev are Wilsie Wilder and Fred Whitehead. 16
