It was the sixth appearance over a seven-year span for State at ii Kansas City. After victories over Mississippi Delta, Arkansas Tech. and Baldwin Wallace, State advanced to the lug' finals with a 75-69 victory over Tampa. In the title .5 game State clipped East Central Oklahoma 61-57. The season closed at 27-8. yr The following year another great honor was be- 1 stowed upon the State team. Seven of its ten players , helped the United States capture the Pan-American 'Q Glympics. Coach john Longfellow directed the team to four easy victories before slipping past Argentina 11, 57-51 in the finals. C1 The Sycamores became a member of the Indiana Collegiate Conference in 1951 along with Ball State, Butler, Valparaiso, Evansville and St. Joseph.

The reply with which students were familiar during the '-40's developed significantly since 1920. At that time there was one professor of physical education for meng Birch E. Bayh Sr. For a quarter of a century there had been considerable interest in ath- letics. and strong teams developed occasionally. How- ever. there was no certainty that schedules could be arranged and carried out year-by-year. During the second Wcirld War. baseball was abandoned. However. basl-:etball and football were con- tinued. Due to the large naval training unit at the Teachers College, it was possible to produce a strong basketball team even during the war. The basketball team of 1042-1043 won thirteen of its sixteen scheduled games. In 1045 an athletic field of forty-seven acres was added to the facilities of the school through the gen- erosity of Anton Hulman. Vlr. The General Assembly appropriated 3550.000 to be used in the development of this athletic field. However. in N955 Indiana State sold the field to the Vigo County School Corporation and it is now the present site of Meadows School.

. The 1960's brought the greatest change in States sports program. A wrestling program was initiated in 1961 and gymnastics was added the following year. Sycamore teams became much stronger and In- diana Collegiate Conference Championships became more numerous. During this time titles were won by the baseball, wrestling. swimming, football, cross country, golf, basketball, and track teams. The 1965 track squad won the Big State meet hosted by Indiana State. From 1963 to 1968 they cap- tured five of six ICC titles-a feat also accomplished by the wrestling team. Although second place finishes were numerous, the only football crown ever won by State came in 1965. Indiana States ICC life came to an end when DePauw, Valparaiso, and St. joseph announced they would no longer schedule the Sycamores in football after 1968. In the final year of competition, the Blue and XVhite won titles in wrestling. swimming. golf, track. and basketball. The same year saw ISU's Mike Hanna be- came the schools first national champion. I-le won the pole vault competition with a vault of 1562 Construction was also the word at ISU. A new 5,000 seat arena was dedicated in December of 1962 in a basketball game against DePauw. Baseball teams formerly used Memorial Stadium.

ASTRO-TURF, a synthetic type grass, became a reality to Indiana State in 1967 as the Sycamores opened their football season on the world's first Uni- versity owned outdoor facility of this type with a 41-6 victory over Eastern Illinois University. It was the first of three reconstruction phases planned for Me- morial Stadium that will eventually give ISU a 26,000 seat home stadium. The two million dollar project, to be completed by the 1970 football season, will give the stadium a capacity of 20500. The Memorial Arch, an integral part of the former structure, will be re- furbished and used as the new entrance. Chief Ouabachi made his first appearance at State during the first home football game of the 1969 season when the Sycamores met Eastern Illinois. In the fall of 1969, Dr. Alan Rankin announced the Sycamores would join Ball State, Illinois State, North- ern Illinois and Southern Illinois universities in the formation of a new midwestern conference to start limited competition in 1970 and full scale competition by 1974.
