The Atliletic DqjartnK-nt has hcen liandled especially well this year with a staff of three regular coaches besides JMoiite Cross and Frank Preti as special coaches. For the first time varsity basketball was put across and a winning team turned out imder the leadership of Don Coady. Tlie team made extensive trips through Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. With the exception of Boston College all teams that played return games were beaten in one or both of the games. I ' .rnwn was nu-t only once and won by one point on her own floor. Bates was the only other State college besides Maine that had a team. Return games were played and the victories divided. Coach Howard Flack turned out a relay team that ran away with Tufts in the B. A. A. games and at this date the team is ])lanning to compete in the Penn. games. An interscholastic basketball tourney for the deciding of the State title was run off by the Athletic Department the last of March which was hotly contested in by a dozen of the leading state prep schools. Inter-fraternity athletics have been progressing rapidly and interest has been increased by the addition of beautiful cups; one was presented in the mem- ory of Charles Rice and another by Pat French ' 17, while several have been presented by the Intra-mural .Association. Phi Eta Kappa and Delta Tau Delta won the track cups, Sigina Nu and Sigma Chi the basketball cups, and Ned Lawrence the Pat French cup awarded to the maker of the fastest time in relav trials. Two new publications have made their a])])earance and have been favor- ably received with the promise of a long and happy life. The Maine-Spring supplies the demand for a literary magazine, and replaces the Blue Book of former days. The first issue of the Mainiac appeared after the spring recess, and was sold out in a couple hours. The Mainiac answers the long felt need for a Maine comic magazine. Last but far from being least has been the victory of the Universitv of Maine in winning the support of the state in a way that has never before been known. The University went before the Legislature in January with the biggest requests she had ever presented and after several weeks of the hardest kind of work came away satisfied that she had been dealt with generously by the state fathers when all conditions were considered, although certain hopes that seemed almost necessary had to be temporarily abandoned. Dr. . ley pointed out the most remarkable result of the campaign was .shown in the fact that but four legislators were opposed to the requests of the institution. It has taken over fifty years to win the entire support of the state, and thus the year of 1921 marks a new era in the life of the University of Maine. 10
