CHAPTER II A BRIEF HI3TORY OF U!E IIAC In May 1970, Dempsey E. Reid, colllllissioner of the Interstate Inter- collegiate Athletic Conference from 1966 to 1970 and treasurer of the II,\C from 1952 to 1970, wrote a "Brief History of the Interstate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference 1908-1970" and distributed copies on May 15, 1970 at the Holiday Inn in Mattoon., Illinois. The occasion for the distribution of these histories was the final meeting of IIAC coaches and officials. According to Dempsey Reid's history, the IIAC had its beginning in the early i.870's in the oratorical contests held between numerous liberal arts colleges in Illinois. The Illinois Intercollegiate Oratorical Association became well known in the 1880's as most four-year schools belonged and paved the way for the beginning of intercollegiate athletics among Illinois college$ and universities. "The State oratorical contests brought many young men from different schools together, and it naturally followed that athletic events became an extra-curricular activity."1 On October 15, 1881, the first intercollegiate football game was played at Bloomington, Illinois between Knox and Illinois State Normal University.2 l oempsey E.
