ew ' ll THE R ECTORiit Q V gg The day was brisk and cold. The game exciting? Yes, rather. The teams were evenly matched, with a little more experience to the men at U. of R. However, ,twas team work and enthusiasm carried the day, for although Rochester's men fought valiantly, nevertheless we triumphed in the end. Then came the celebration. We ran, shouted, talked of the plays-went wild with happiness. Gur hopes were realized-Rochester had been defeated at the hands of the Blue and White. The Rochester Game created much excitement in Buffalo, and when Thanksgiving Day was here, thousands, not hundreds, turned out for the home college. However, we were defeated. Hobart was more than a match, but dying hard, we left them a challenge for the fall of 1916. Then the tables will be turned. Great material is in line for the coming fall. Most of the men of last fall will be on the field again, and what with skilled trainers who shall be ours, we hope to see Buffalo piloted on to victory by the boys in the football togs. been ann 19eariJ in the Qliays Hamm DR.

K nb ' 9 E525 ' Y THE REFLECTOR 32 f xp' Q E? Surely the U. B. Dents may well be proud of her sons, ten men we gave to the football team. Football was resurrected in the fall of IQI5, under the capable leadership of Manager Shafer. A schedule was made, and with what seemed almost a false enthusiasm at first, training began. But as soon as the ball was started down the field, interest began to increase and it was not long before all Western New York knew that U. of B. was again on the gridiron. Eight games were played. Every one hard fought. We did not win them all. By no means. But through the medium of our re- vived form of athletics, Buffalo was again on the map. The first game, that with Syracuse Freshmen, was lost, but that defeat only served to stimulate the men to renewed vigor. Coach Mount Pleasant worked slowly but surely. His was a hard task to hammer into shape the squad of half trained, unskilled fellows who were constantly Hocking to the standard to play football for old U. B. The day we played St. Bonaventure was a wonderful one for the Blue and the White. All loyal sons were on the spot with mega- phones, banners, girls, and voices. I cannot tell you of the enthusiasm which reigned that day. Everyone was imbued with a spirit of enthusiasm for our college that had never reigned before. Buffalo was coming into her own. And we won. All through the season the same spirit held sway. Although we lost ive games, nothing daunted we stuck to it, and at the season's close we had the scalps of St. Bonaventure, Thiel, and Rochester University hanging at our girdles. The game before the one on Thanksgiving Day was our last out- of-town game for the season. It was Rochester. And that was a wonderful game! U. of B., five hundred strong, went down to shout and cheer the team to victory. Did we do it? You should have been there. It is impossible to picture vividly the scenes of that afternoon. We marched to Rochesteris campus. In the lead, the band, five hundred men following, singing and cheering for the college boys in togs. S4

I - W N TH1-1 Ri51eL1:CToRE 32 6 V Q -E? Wrath Track work was taken up this winter with the same enthusiasm that has marked a new era in our college athletics. The team has shown a vast improvement over last year's squad. To Captain Dumke is due a great deal of credit. His work, both last year and this, has proved him a fine leader. This is shown by the large number of fellows out daily from twelve to one-thirty. According to the form the fellows are showing, U. of B. ought to be well represented. Manager Scott has arrangements pending with Rochester, Hobart, and Alfred. Tn order to get track work started on a firm basis this year, an Intercollege Meet will be held at the Sixty-Fifth Armory. The pro- gram will consist of dashes, intermediates, long runs, broad and high jumps, shot put, and relays. It is expected some fine material will be uncovered. The Dental College has the most men working out. Among those out are Shaw, Harnish, Pammenter, Korn, Vifeber, Ston, Kronmiller, Hickey and Reed. A PAMMENTER, 717. 31BentaI itaskethall, '15-'16 Our Dental College has at last succeeded in putting a basket- ball team on the floor which has upheld the record of the depart- ment by going through the season with only two defeats and winning repeatedly from the other teams in the U. of B. League. The two defeats were at the hands of the Chemistry Team, cup winners, they winning out in the first game IQ-I5 in an extra period, and in the last game by 27-23, coming from behind and over- coming a lead which seemed to have put the game on ice for us. The team, however, was a success, the Frosh turning out to support in fine style. The men who have played on the team this year are: Drexelius, Stowell, Ryan, Siegel, forwards, Hickey, lXfTer- chant, Eastman, centers, Levin, Gibbin, Cooper, and hflartin, Capt., guards. Next year, the team will be much stronger, as the coming Fresh- men will probably bring much new material, who, in addition to the present aggregation, will do much toward building up a strong team. 86 TX4ARTIN,7I7.
