Athletics in Des Moines University have undergone a remarkable growth in the past three years and today the University is represented on the ath- letic map as one of the strongest schools in this section of the country. We are no longer forced to confine our schedules to the smaller schools in the state but have advanced in athletic circles to the place where our teams are known and respected by the stronger teams in neighboring states. The success of athletics in Des Moines University can be traced directly to the man in charge of athletics in this institution, Coach Harry M. Bell. Coach Bell came to Des Moines University during Basketball season of 1919-1920 and since that time has worked consistently and tirelessly for the good of the institution in his efforts to place athletics on the standard of which we are so proud today. The records of the various athletic teams developed by Coach Bell speak for themselves. The football team of 1921 was on a par with any team in this section of the country and the basketball team of the same year, not only won the state championship but placed fourth in the National Amateur Basket Ball Tour- nament played in Kansas City by the strongest representative teams in the United States. The track and baseball teams of 1921 turned out to be winning teams which not only ranked high in state circles but competed successfully against strong teams outside the state. We like to think of football team of 1922 in the words of a Kansas City sporting writer, who, in commenting on the Haskell Indian game, said, Des Moines University team showed itself to be a fast, clever, aggressive machine, which not only proved the ability and hard work of the players, but demonstrated the effect of excellent coaching. Our basketball team of the past season won the state title again and proved the quality of the team by remarkable showing in the intersectional game against Colgate. The baseball and track teams of 1922 are still in the embryo but every indication points to teams equally as successful as our teams of other major sports. The prospects next year and for future years for athletics in Des Moines University, is indeed, unusually bright. With a man such as Coach Bell, who not only is a real coach but a real man, at the head of the athletic de- partment, we feel that the success of our athletics is assured.
