Glasses were begim si% years later with a total enrollment of 31 students/ and in 1897 the University embarked upon an athletic career which has been outstanding in every respect. The records have been outstanding not only in the number of games played, won and lost, but also in the uphill struggle for recognition in the intercollegiate athletic world. The Territory still showed signs of its pioneer beginnings, and the development of collegiate sports in this area of the country demanded planning and resourcefulness much the same as were used by ■ . ■ territorial business men. n ; V'. : From a modest start the University has had to cope with one obstacle after‘another. One of the most difficult prob- lems to be confronted was the finding of sufficient and suit­ able competition for the University teams. The geographical location of Tucson, a distance of hundreds of miles from the nearest college rival, necessitated competition with teams eomposed of townsmeii or the local Indian School. Arizona wag ;:* 0 . ■ : U i outgide the sphere of norioal activity in relation to other ;v- ’ V athletic conferences until 1931 ^Aien the Border Intercollegiate 2 Athletic Conference was formed. This eased considerably the arrangement of schedules with representative college teams. It would not be true to say .that the athletic program grew by leaps and bounds once it was established. On the con­ trary, each sport went through a definite.period, of. growing pains. Bach sport had its own peculiarities. Together they shared the problems which affected not only athletics, but every other Department of the University as well. ............ • .... With the exception of football, the organization and development of each sport can be .attributed to .student, inter­ est in those sports. In general, the interest shown by the. student body and' faculty members of the early years was not donduoive to. broad athletic endeavor. .. , .•... Generally speaking, individual activity, is the basis for organization of team sports. This was the case at the Univer­ sity of Arizona, and it,is only logical that track was the first organized activity.on the campus.. In,1897, a group of townsmen who were:interested in track issued a challenge to the University men. The University accepted,the challenge 1 - - - : .. ■ - - - ► — v ' « -----v<.,. i.,r: l ^ . .,.. and defeated the town team in the first track meet, winning all but two events. .This meet stimulated.student enthusiasm for track athletics,_ and since that time this sport has been a major part of the University*s athletic program. Some years were better than others, and,interest mounted and declined according to the quality of competitors who were enrolled in school. Foundations, however, were laid for many- successful 3 seasons to follow, n : :v r- Tacc-: Football was offlolally begin in 1899; and In the next five years baseball (1901), tennis (1901), and basketballv (1904) followed. ; ' J - . U,;:. -1 : Vv.;:v .. r, -: Interelass eompetition„was the major :outlet for: all - sports. OSeasionally games were seheduled with other schools and frequently with eommunities ;of the Territory• It was not until 1914 that all sports began to be more representative of the collegiate level. A glance at the records for the four major sports will : : show the advancements made over a period of 52 years. Since 1899, Arizona football teams have played in 313 contests of which they have won 200, lost 96, and participated in 17 tie games. Arizona scored 6,197 points to 3,035 for their op­ ponents. The total scores for basketball are different, in as much as more games were played each year and generally more points were scored in each game. Since 1904 Arizona teams have won 452 games, lost 196. The total number of points scored over a 44-year period were 27,163 to opponents' 21,868. The baseball teams have played in 455 games since 1901, of which they have won 303 and lost 144. There were 8 tie ■ Vvj 1:" : v " r '■. r:- ball games. : V V - :r- ■ v;.; :r ’ 1 - 1 1 v'' r/?:.' 1'- :■ v h " The track teams have participated in 87 meets with a record of 62 victories, 24 defeats, and one tie. In the early years, when one nan handled all sports, 4 Goaehea came and want on an average of one every year. There was no security, and games and contests were difficult to ar­ range.

Forty acres at that time seemed more than enough to conduct the athletic pro­ gram. Since then, not only the athletic plant but every department and college on the campus has been taxed to capa­ city. Forty more acres might alleviate the crowded condi­ tions which exist today. In 1899 the first football field was located on the west side of the campus where the Library now stands. The first tennis courts were laid out where the present Humani- ties building is located. They were of dirt construction on which white tape lines had to be laid down to define the boundaries. It was not until 1924 that four new concrete courts were constructed west of the Observatory. In 1938 four more courts were constructed; three additional courts in 1947 5 made a total of 11. There was no gymnasium available until 1904, and that was made possible through the generosity of James Douglas and a later appropriation by the Legislature. The gym was named Herring Hall and was used until 1922. Football, baseball and track shared the same plot of ground. There were no distinguishing features of this area other than its being cleared of brush and rocks. There was no sod, and the caliche surface introduced hazards in fall­ ing which would be looked upon with disapprove! if still used today.

But if one had to cram it all in, the one word would be "tops". Their game record was certainly one of the best in the history of Texas Mines, an eight- wen, one-tied, and one-lost record that will be hard to beat for the future Mines teams. The Miners came in second in the Border Conference, very near the top, and played in the Sun Bowl for ·the first time since 1937. Besides all this, the team as a whole topped the nation's grid elevens in rushing and scoring, and Mines full- back Fred Wendt set new national records in rushing, and scoring-all quite an accomplishment for a "minor" Standings Standings Game Record Border Conference All Games Mines Opponent w L T W L T 33 McMurry 14 Texas Tech 5 o o Texas Mines 8 1 1 35 Houston 7 Texas Mines 4 1 1 Texas Tech 7 3 o 21 West Texas 7 Arizona 3 2 o Hardin-Simmons 4 2 3 34 Brigham Young 20 Tempe 3 2 o Arizona 6 4 o 27 New Mexico 13 Hardin-Simmons 3 2 1 West Texas 6 5 o 27 Hardin-Simmons 27 West Texas 2 3 o Tempe 5 5 o 6 Texas Tech 46 Arizona 14 Flagstaff 1 2 o Flagstaff 4 5 o 25 New Mexico 1 6 o N.
