In their first start the third year team walked rough shod over the seniors, winning an 18 to 0 Victory thru the sensational field work of Grunland, star full- back, and they followed this up with as clear Cut Victories over each of their opponents. The sophomores failed to offer the competition expected, and succumbed to an over-powering at- tack that left them stranded on the small end of a 47 to 0 score. T0 cap the Climax the frosh were routed in the final clash of the season by a count of 26 to o. The tournament ended with the juniors in the van, credited with three Victories and no defeats. They finished the series without having been scored on. The seniors landed second position with Victories over both the freshmen and sophomores and a defeat at the hands of the champions. Sophs wound up with one victory to their credit and two defeats, while the first year men lost in all starts despite much game fighting against their more experienced opponents. The all-star football lineup selected by a faculty committee was announced at a dinner following the close of the season. Those to win honors included: Gaiser, L.

Not only did more men report regularly for practice thruout the season than in any previous year, either under the intercollegiate or intra-mural system, but greater interest was evidenced on the part of the student body. Taken as a whole, the year 1921-22 saw some of the finest competition that has been exhibited, in every branch of atheltics. Football, basketball, hand-ball, track, tennis and crew, a new sport for Reed, all enjoyed unusual seasons. Football UT three weeks after the opening of college the untried J freshman grid team tangled with the sophomore squad in the opening engagement of a six game schedule. Fifty men had been reporting regularly for practice to coaches Knowlton, L. E. GriH-in, and Reich, and a large crowd was on hand for the kickoff. With but one minute left the yearlings failed to put the pigskin over from the one yard line, thereby losing their initial start on a Reed field by the score of 18 to I4. Under the leadership of Steffen the second year team exhibited some excellent football, and gave promise of making the season interesting for future opponents. Despite their defeat the yearlings exhibited a world of fight that marked their playing throughout the season. a i-tcountol :6 t0 0.. . itnt ended with the jumni ittnrles and no defeats. l : iibeen scored on.

A twelve-game schedule was drawn up and adopted by the Athletic Council, calling for two games a week for a six weeks period. Each team played two games with each other team in the conference, and fast basketball was exhibited in the majority of contests. Not content with capturing the grid Championship, the juniors went thru their entire schedule with but one setback, that at the hands of the tail end senior aggregation. With a team built around Grunland, the juniors developed an invulnerable five man defense that proved a stumbling block to all aspirants for the school Championship. Their teamwork was invariably good, a department of the game in which other mem- bers of the conference were sadly lacking. The sophomore squad, with Steffen, and'Henny going well, were a hard team to
