mi The Athletics in the Steamboat Springs High School during the last three years have been very succesful. The first meet of the Routt County Association was held in Steamboat Springs in the spring of 1912. Hayden and Yampa and Steamboat were the participants. This proved to be a very interesting meet, because it was the first one held in Steamboat and the first one in which our school had the honor of holding the County Loving Cup. In this meet Lou Burgman of Steamboat won most points, Van Gooding second and Guy Burgman third. In the fall of 1912 our hopes for a football team were not very encouraging, but we decided to try it, under the efficient coaching of Addison Gooding a fast and well- trained team was prepared for battle. Only one game was played, this being with Yampa High School. A score of 59 to 0 was “piled up” against Yampa. Yampa had a team that outweighed us fifteen pounds to a man; but the excess weight was easily overcome by the speed of our back field. During the following winter basket ball was the main feature of our athletics. The team came through the season with a clear record, defeating Yampa and Hayden, each twice. The team was made up of Guy Burgman. captain, left forward; Byron Burgman. right forward; Harry Love, center; Walter Merrill, right guard; Van Gooding, left guard ; Walter Carver, coach. In the track meet of 1913 the contest resulted in the same tale—a complete victory for Steamboat. Hayden dropped out of the county association that spring, leaving Steamboat and Yampa to fight for honors. ctics 100-yard clash: 1, Van Gooding, Steamboat; 2, W. 1 loffman, Y.; 3, G.

Foot ball was again tried in the fall of 1913. but on account of lack of material had to be given up. Basket ball in winter brought out many fast players.

Walter Carver again coached the team and proved him- self a master of the art. All games with High Schools were victories for us. We defeated Oak Creek twice and Hayden once. The players were Byron Burgman. left forward; William Bashor, right forward; Harry Love, center; Russell Palmer, right guard ; Frank Morn- ing and Byron Groesbeck, left guards. Byron Burgman proved to be the best forward in this part of the state. William Bashor was exceedingly clever in his passes and in handling the ball. Harry Love as center could not be equaled by a High School center in Colorado. The guards throughout the year were able to hold the opponents’ score low at all times. The girls organized a winning basket ball team with Marion Van Deusen as captain. Only two interscho- lastic games were played, both being with Oak Creek. As soon as the snow had melted this spring the track team was hard at wofk. many school records were broken and it seems probable that a victory will be ours in the coming meet, although Yampa thinks to the con- trary. Van Gooding was elected captain of the track team, and Byron Burgman the basket ball captain. He was siting in the parlor And he said unto the light. Either you or I, old fellow.
