athletics HE department of Physical Education, after surviving a year without T an official head, in September opened an eventful season under the direction of George W. Clark. IVIr. Clark came to Reed from the i University of California, where he was prominent in track athletics 6Q? thruout his under-graduate career. Continuing the experimental policy adopted last year Reednagain took a stand favoring a modified intercollegiate athletic program. Followmg the demsion of . students, faculty, and alumni, voiced in questionnaires circulated during the summer, two football games were scheduled, and tennis matches and track meetings arranged. FOOTBALL The curtain was rung up on the 1920 football season when the experienced Upper-Class team trampled over the Freshmen squad in a Closely contested Campus Dav battle. An interesting intramural season, with teams representing Upper- classmen, Sophomores and Freshmen competing, preceded the intercollegiate games. The Freshman team, lacking the avoirdupois of their two opponents, dis- played excellent spirit, and after holding the Upperelassmen to a 9 to 6 score, defeated the Sophomores in a hard fought game. Outweighed ten pounds to the man the yearlings refused to be whipped, and fmally administered a 7 to 0 white- wash to their traditional rivals. The Upperclassmen clinched the championship when they trounced the Sophomores, rallying in the final quarter of a fast and hard fought game. , Football practice, under the leadership of Coach Harry Dorman, became the most popular course on the campus. With but twenty-flve inexperienced men from whom to select a team and but two weeks time in which to prepare, Dorman deserves praise for his handling of a difficult job. His graphic comments on the daily practice were ever a stimulant to the weakening hero. On Armistice Day Reed met Albany college and exhibited her inexperience by allowing a well executed split buck to completely demoralize her defense. Starting the game with a rush Reed swept the valley team off its feet, scoring two touch- downs in the first quarter. But in the next quarter Albany unloosed the split buck. Once it worked, twice it workedeReed was defeated 33 to 20. December 20th Reed journeyed en masse to Forest Grove where it witnessed a disheartening 40 to 0 defeat at the hands of Pacific University. Theteam fought hard, but was outclassed by a superior aerial attack which netted touch- downs. 'The relationships that accompanied both contests were excellent. Reed entertamed the Albany team and a score of rooters at a dance in the assembly hall, .keepmg a number of the team over night in the dorm. At Paciflc the greatest hospitality was extended and the evening will long be remembered. 64
