- --we '-' ----'--- ,o T211 - '- ,f-g, II llll Coach's Article The first athletic team to represent our college was the basketball team of 1917. Nile were then, of course, a junior College, with an enrollment of possibly one hundred and fifty students. Needless to say, material for a team was scarce, and money and schedules were still more scarce, if possible. The 1917 basketball team lost but two games, and wound up the season by defeating the Adrian College team, which had just won the M. I. A. A. cham- pionship, by a 41-5 score. A track team and a tennis team were organized that spring. The track team placed fourth in the State Meet. The tennis team enjoyed a successful season. Thus began athletics in our college. Since this first year, we have had our ups and downs. XVe have won and we have lost. The win column reads 75fZ plus, however. As we look back over these seven rather trying years, there are several things that gratify us. One is that not once, though many times facing almost over- whelming odds, has a team representing the Green and Gold asked or given quarter. Another most gratifying thing is that not once in the heat of battle, during all these years, has a single penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct been inflicted upon any of our teams. Vllhatever has been accomplished in athletics has been done without the aid of pampered and petted athletes. The men who have represented us have come to this institution of their own free will. Not one has been given a house and lot. Not one has been induced to come here. Not one has been adopted by an alumnus. Not one has been favored by his teachers. And our men don't come from other states. Our motto: Athletics for our students, not students for our athletics still holds good. C7 l A 1 v ll in El l a l L l. l I I .. --....-.,.
