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.

I941 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 The next fall, however, these two teams combined to meet a team from the incoming clas. The initial clash of these teams was on the hrst of October, and the sofomores, largely because of previus experience, piled up a score of 52 to 0. In the second contest two weeks later the score was 51 to 0. T0 flnish the season, a third game was playd between the men of the dormitory and those who lived in town. Altho the dayedodgers wer much lighter, they held their opponents to a 14 to 0 score. When college opend the folloing fall, it was soon found that it would be impossible to organize clas teams, due to a stringent requirement for practis. It was then decided to hav only dormitory and day-dodger teams, as but about one-third of the men in college felt that they could spare the time for practis. At the hrst meeting of the teams on the fifth of November the teams battled to a scoreless tie. In the second game one week later the dormitory made a tuchdown in the early part of the game. Without further scoring by either side the game ended with a 6 to 0 score. Again last fall in the fourth football season it was deemd inadvisable to hav clas teams. Thus the two upper classes combined against the two loer classes for the preliminary games. Two games wer playd and both resulted in victories for the underclasmen. The score of the first was 22 to 3, that of the second was 17 to 0. The games wer both hard fought and brought out some of the best football yet seen in Reed College. The annual day-dodger-dormitory game was playd after the clas games. Altho expecting an easy victory, the dormi- tory team was held to one tuchdown, the final score being 7 to 0. BASKETBALL There was very little activity in, and no attempt made at organizing, games of basketball during the hrst year of college, tho a few scrub games wer playd at the Multnomah Club.gym- nasinm. Again the second year the men playd little basketball owing to the non-completion of a gymnasium. The three games that wer playd took place in the open air on the cement tennis courts. In all of these, the sofomores wer victorius, but the freshmen shoed fight in every game. The scores wer respectivly 42 to 2, 30 to 10, and 32 to 7. The third basketball season found the students for the first time in their own gymnasium. A ful Clas basketball schedule was workt out by the Athletic Council, each of the three teams including the faculty team playing the others once. The freshmen won the championship, taking the final and de- ciding game from the juniors by a score of 39 to 36.
