REEDTS F IRST MENtS ATHLETICS: FOOTBALL 303mm Football was the hrst athletic activity taken up by Reed bAl 1h students. Plans wer started for it early in the first year. Few of the men had had previus experience at the game, but all seemd anxius to try. It was necessary to get everyone inter- ested in order to play a game, as there wer but twenty-six men in the elas. After some preliminary practis in vacant lots and streets around the bilding, Tomlinson and Brace wer chosen captains of the opposing teams. The hrst game took place on the morn- ing of Thanksgiving Day at Twenty-fourth and Raleigh streets. Captain Tomlinsonis men won this game by a score of 5 to 0, but two weeks later, Captain Bracets team was Victorius by a score of 6 to O. The deciding game was never playd.

REED COLLEGE ANUUJAL of basketball slightly. The athletic department had limited space in the basement of the main bilding, now occupied by the fysical laboratory, while the handball courts wer on the fourth floor, the present chemistry lecture-room. About the last of the second year, work was started on the permanent athletic held. but owing to the amount of the til and the grading to be done, the field was not available that year. Baseball was playd immediately south of the dormitory on an improvised diamond. At the beginning of the third year, work was wel under way on the gymnasium, while the permanent athletic field was in shape for the football games. During November the gym- nasium was completed and athletics immediately took a boost. The gymnasium had a main Eoor of seventy by flfty feet, a handball court, a squash court, a restling and boxing room, special exercise rooms, drying rooms, shower and locker room, and an ofhs for the director of fysical education. Indoor games wer taken up and much athletic work done during the winter. In the spring, work on the permanent athletic held was continued and the baseball diamond, a quarter-mile running track and dirt tennis courts wer put in shape. Drainage was partially completed and the whole surface took on the appear- ance of an athletic fleld. . The next important addition to the athletic equipment was made this spring. An unknown donor gave the college four cement tennis courts. It was decided to put cement 0n the -1. t + 1915 lml GYMNASIUM AND UPPER TENNIS COURTS two dirt courts on the athletic fteld and to grade for two new courts immediately west of the gymnasium. These four courts wer completed the early part of April and gave much needed room for the tennis players. The next important addition to the athletic equipment of the college wil probably be a gymnasium and athletic held for the sole use of the women. This, of course, depends upon the amount of money available for the proposed XVomelfs Bild- ing to be located acros the ravine, and may not be completed for a few years. The present arrangements for athletics at fairly adequate, however, for the number of students now in ' .. ' 5t it 4. 3;; 1: L7 '1? .l-I. H. Wu .l-AHJu:;;A;;;V;V - e on. ma. 4! a '11.. .
