3'HnnIlmll at Glninm' C. U. RAH! RAH! C. U. RAH! RAH! C. RAH! U. RAH! C. U. RAH! RAH! After several years of oblivion the glorious old game of football was inaugurated at Cotner in the year 1911. The outlook was very discouraging, for there was not a man in school who had even so much as touched a mole skin, but the unfailing interest of H. O. Pritchard and the bull- dog tenacity of Cotner athletes turned out a team. Not a winner the first year, only the beginning of an eleven which tied for third place in the state inter-collegiate champion- ship, the following year. Conditions at the beginning of the 1913 season were similar to those in 1911, only two of the last year's team being back. But the old fighting spirit and consistent coaching of H. D. Curtis built an eleven of almost entirely green material which made itself known though not a winner. It is a great foundation for the com- ing season and great things are expected.
