OUR FOOTBALL TEAM. A number of people throughout the State have been asking why Arkansas did not win more games during the past season. An answer to this question in a few instances is, that we lined up against stronger teams, another instance is of hard luck, and various reasons might be assigned to the others lost, but it must be borne in mind that the Ar¬ kansas eleven has been raised from the standard of a high school eleven to that of a State university. A few years ago Arkansas was competing for honors with high schools and academies. This foot¬ ball spirit has grown with the Univer¬ sity. Our schedules now comprise games with the State universities and other leading colleges in the Southwest, all of which have had exceptionally strong- teams during the past.season. The season of 1905 marked a new era in inter-collegiate football as far as Arkansas is concerned. For the first time in our history we lined up against a State university on the local gridiron. Manager Wolf had arranged a very heavy schedule for Arkansas eleven, and Coach Brown had his men ready when the first game was called. The past season was more than a success from an athletic point of view. While winning only a very small per cent of the games played, Arkansas put up as good an exhibition of football as any of our opponents, and with any rea¬ sonable luck more victories would have been scored. Arkansas has demonstrated her ability to play the game, and the past season is only considered the fore¬ runner of more glorious seasons to come. The personnel of Arkansas eleven was picked from a squad of thirty-five men, and was composed of some of the best scholarship in the University. The student body demands clean athletics, and the past season witnessed the burial of the little hammer which has been knock¬ ing itself away in the past. The fact that Arkansas won only two games dur¬ ing the season and the absence of any knocking shows to the world that we have a football team which the student body is proud of and is ready to back up. At Holla the Arkansas eleven was given no chance to win. The officials were in the game, and upon our return President Tillman issued an order to the Athletic Association, severing all athletic relations with the School of Mines. The season of 1906 promises to be one of the grandest in the annals of foot¬ ball in Arkansas. Michigan’s famous full-back, Longman, has been engaged as coach, and Manager Wolf is arrang¬ ing a schedule which comprises the lead¬ ing institutions in the South.
