A T II L B T I C S Jlrrdirft mi thr any E. present school year of 1916-17 will soon be a thing of the past, but what it has meant for the University in the way of athletics will live on forever. At the opening of the fall term, there went into effect in all departments of intercollegiate sports in Pitt the one year residence rule adopted by the Athletic Council on January 13, 1913. This event marked the placing of Panther athletics on a par with the best universities of our country. The excellent records made by the various athletic teams during the inaugural year of the new ruling have far exceeded the hopes of Pitt followers. With all freshmen and migratory students excluded from varsity competition, it was to be expected that the standards of the teams would be slightly lowered. Such was not the case, however, and the apparent ease with which the coaches turned out powerful teams was the pleasing feature of momentous happenings. Without a doubt the football season was the most glorious one ever enjoyed by a Pitt eleven. Under the coaching of All-American Pop Warner, the Panthers went through another campaign without suffering a defeat. Critics and scribes everywhere were unsparing in their praise of the team, and they hesitated not in awarding Pitt the intercollegiate championship. The elimination of Brown at the hands of Colgate, on the same day that Pitt trounced State, left the title undisputed. Once more were Captain Bob Peck and Pat Herron honored by Walter Camp in his All-American selections, while Hastings. DeHart. McLaren and others were mentioned by many writers. Led by the versatile Andy Hastings, the basketball team took up the work of spreading Pitt’s fame where the gridders left off. Carnegie Tech. W. J.. Lafayette and Rutgers were conquered, but the most notable victory of all was the one over Allegheny College. Previous to this season the Methodists have never been vanquished by the Pittsburgh five. Owing to the inability of several regulars to accompany the team, the eastern trip was not as successful as last year. Syracuse was the only opponent to win a series from the varsity. Individual honors went to Lubic and Hastings, while DeHart on winning his insignia in this branch established himself as the first athlete to earn four letters at the University. Fourteen
