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.

1961 REED first annual contests of the day-dodgers and dormitory, the dodgers won by 27 to 4 and 38 to 27. The all-star team for this year was: Irle and Zabel, gards; Willman and Rittenberg, forwards; Runyan, center. This first regular season was quite successful and aroused much interest in basketball. The last season, however, has done the most to promote activity in this sport. Twelv teams wer chosen including every man in college, and regular games scheduled during the gym- nasium hours. In this way practically two-thirds of the men playd in from two to six games, many taking up the game who had never had a chance before. Many good men wer thus developt for the regular series which came later and included the four Clas teams and the faculty team. The Clas of 1917 again won the championship, tho not without several close games. The last game was won from the juniors by one point, the deciding basket being thrown by VVilIman in the last few seconds of play. The dodgers wer unable to keep up their record of the previus year and wer defeated in a wel-playd game by a score of 26 to 13. The all star team was pickt as folloes: Lancefield and Zabel, gards; Rittenberg, center; Norman and VVillman, forwards. TRACK Track work, tho one of the major athletic activities, has not receivd as much attention at Reed as at most colleges. This COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 is due largely to the amount of time taken to develop athletes for special events. Training, as such, has not as yet been intro- duced to Reed students. However some attempt is made to hav meets merely as a means of arousing interest. Such meets, both indoor and outdoor, hav been held for the last three years. There hav been three indoor track meets which included such events as the high kick, high jump, twenty-yard dash. dip, pul-up, broad jump, shot put, pole vault, hop-stepwjnmp, and relay race. The first year the freshman-sofomore tug-of- war was also included, but this was later made a special event. The sofomores won the hrst meet by a score of 58 to 23, the freshmen the second making 35 1-3 points to the juniors' 32 1-3 and the sofomores, 29 1-3. This year the meet was again won by the Clas of 1917, who made 53V2 points. The seniors wer second with 31, the juniors made 16 and the freshmen V2. Two outdoor meets hav been held, one the second year, on College Day, and one last year, in the latter part of May. The Clas of 1915 won the hrst meet easily, but wer de- feated last year by the present sofomores, who made 66 points against 56 by the seniors and 9 by the juniors. The college records set in the meet last year with their holders follo: 100 yards, Lancefield, 15, 11; 220 yards, Shagren, 117, 25 2-5; 440 yards, Brace, 15, 59 2-5; half mile, Miller, '17, 2:23 3-5: mile, Miller, 17, 5:38; 120-yard Io hurdles, Lancefield, ,15. 15 3-4; discus, Lancefield, '15, 86 ft. 5 in; shot put, Trous- dale, 15, 35 ft. 1 in; javelin, Brace, ,15, 123 ft.; high jump,
