Athletic Department Q UR director of athletics, Mr. S. L. Stacy, is serving his second year in charge of the department. Mr. Stacy, an , upper Junior student, has had wide experience in coaching be fore coming to K. C. C. S. The fact that he built state cham pionship teams in both New Mexico and Missouri would nat urally point him to a bigger field in the capacity ot' athletic di rector. Mr. Stacy was well known throughout Missouri tor his football and basketball ability at Vwlarrensburg Teachers Collegeg little wonder that he should make such a creditable showing during his hrst two years as coach at K. C. O. S. Although there is no definite Physical Education program at K. C. O. S. many branches of sports are included in the ac S4 LA STAN tiyities of the student body. Interefraternity sports form the Dwvrw bf Athlmm I , tt L r t ta main nucleus around which the athletic program or the school is built. During the spring of 1034, a baseball team will be put in the held of competition by K. C. C. S. Coach Stacy reports a good showing of man power to promote this sport. New uniforms have been purchased, so watch our smoke in lmrgglmll, The tennis program of K. C. C. S. is of major importance. Our tennis men meet some of the best in this part of the State. Mr. E. A. Porter is tennis coach and from his past experience we know he has the tennis ability since K. C. C, S, tennis teams have been undefeated for two years. Perhaps one ofthe outstanding events of the year was the revival ot' boxing at K. C. O, S. Under the direction of promoter .lack Cain, boxing was received by the college and townsnien with much enthusiasm. This was probably due to student participation in the bouts. The school 15 adequately equipped with a large gymnasium. Handball and Badminton enter into the program of sportsg each student is urged to become athhated with some sport organiza tion. The game of Badminton has been played at this College for the past two years, originating with about twelve British and Anierrcan players in 1033. During last winter a Badminton Club was formed, backed by the College. Now definitely supported, the membership soon increased to over twenty. The club was able to purchase two new raquets while the College supplied the shuttlecocks. This year tournaments were held, the results ot which are as follows' Firth defeated VJ.rters, two games to one, to win the Mens Singlesg Miss hheperdson defeated Miss Nelson. two games straight, to win the Ladies' Singlesg Tuffy Taylor and W,rters defeated Dr. Litton and Firth, two games straight, to win the Mens Doubles. The Ladies and Mixed Doubles were not com pleted. Witlr the present growing and enthusiastic membership, next win' ter should see an even larger club and the possibility ul! two courts in the gym. Badminton as a game calls for stamina. quick thinking, dexterity, and sportsmanship. Although quite new in the mid west, it is one of the linest winter indoor sports and is rapidly increasing m popularity K.AC. O. S. GH'hi throughout the United States. 21 l99l

and played Culver' Stockton. This was per' haps the 'best game of the year so far as per' formance was concerned and K. C. O. S. was victorious by 3-P20. Parsons College from Iowa opened the home schedule for the Rams with a two game series. The Rams won a thriller by a 32430 score and repeated the following night DEFEYSE OR QFFENSEKVJHICH7 by a 31129 score. Our next encounter was away from home, Ottumwa, Iowa, where the Rams met the Ottumwa Y. M. C. A. team on their honte floor. Although the Rams were by far superior after giving every man a chance to play, the game end' ed with a narrow ntargin of victory for K. C. O. S., score 4240. Southwest Baptist College from Bolivar, Missouri, furnished the next tangle. These boys from Southern Missouri seemed to be lost in the large Kirksville gym and the home team won by a score of 44260. Osgood Athletic Club furnished thc next opposition for the Rams. This was another easy victory for our home team and the iinal whistle found a 464-in score. Next on the ticket was the game with the Lacygne Athletic Club of Kansas in which tilt the Rams had little trouble in winning a 6234 verdict. CulverfStockton came to Kirksville for revenge after their defeat suffered at the hands of the Rams. This game was fast and hard fought but the boys from Canton, Missouri, were found the victors 3617, Ottumwa Y. M. C. A. played a return engagment at Kirksville and were de' feated 4785 in a rather uneventful game, Probably the most exciting game of thc season was between Tarkio College and K. C. O. S. at Kirksville, This game was intensely exciting and the Rams lost a heart breaking extra overtime game by a 42'-11 score.
