.l:u' , ' CHAPTER I . % :.»;C INTRODUCTION:
The Dhiveralty of Arizona #&e founded In 1685 by an not passed by the Thirteenth Legislative Assembly. 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. It was not until 1914, when1 3".F. MeEale was - appointed head coach and athleti® director , that‘any improvement in this situation was noticeable. Student and faculty interest increased, and - the athletic department ’md e definite■efforts to strengthen existing schedules and to' plan effectively for better programs :ih the future. - : : : * ::::: ; r c - ‘'--"-x-d ii- r- j .V- The Athletic Plant ...... ■ i c ::d; "‘l ..ddr: L j.i u;V' Many colleges and universities have inadequate faoili- •■-‘■■•■uy. . ' . ' vv . r o.Du -v.-.. ' V': - : ties as far as their athletic plans are concerned. Mien the University of Arizona was established, there was sufficient land to take care of every athletic event. 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. A little lime for marking the fields and what little equipment was available transformed the desert temporarily into playing and running fields.
In 1913-14 the playing area was moved to a location east of the old gymnasium. Construction on the Agriculture build ing was started in the late spring of 1914. This required the field to be moved back to the original spot, where activities were carried on for two more years. In 1917 the field was again moved, this time to the east of the new Agriculture building and on a portion of land where the present Chemistry- Physics building now stands. All the field activities were carried on here until 1929, at which time the present ath letic fields were made available. Home plate for the base ball diamond was then located in the northeast corner of the present baseball field just off Cherry Street. This'was later changed to its present location in 1929 when the ‘ 6
baseball stadium was erected...... , In 1926 the new gymnasium, •was completed, and all indoor activities have.since been carried on in this one building. In .1929 the present track, baseball stands, and;the , , west side football stadium were completed. Since then the seating capacity of the.stadium has been increased to 14,000 with the construction of the east side. The south end is now being closed in, making a horseshoe type stadium with a seat ing capacity of about 23,500 people. , . \.. . . . Arizona has developed her athletic facilities to the extent that they compare favorably with any other school in the country and are outstanding in the Southwest.

. . . "Hie' 'purpose "* • ’ • ' • ■ of this ...... study is ... Lto ■ combine j.. ^ .tinto . one volume the most important incidents which,have been instrumental in the development of intercollegiate athletics at the University of Arizona, and to have for ready accessibility the records and performances of our athletic teams from the time of their inception until the present, 1949.
Limitations of This Study This study is limited in time from 1891 until 1949*
It is limited also in the completeness of early day records. Many of the athletic records of that period are vague in some details such as first names and initials of competitors, differences in spelling, and also the lack of scores for some 7 events. These early records are sketchy, and as a result the records for some of the activities may be incomplete. This study does not deal with business management in connection with each sport. It is limited to intercollegiate athletics for men, and there is no distinction made between the major and minor sports. y This thesis is an original study; "In so far as could be determined> no printed material was found which includes in one publication the records and progress of athletics at the University of Arizona.
Sources of Material Materials for this study have been secured from news papers, University publications and manuscripts, the Univer- ' - : y • . .. ^ r y - ' . . y-y sity Press Bureau, personal interviews, and files of the
Athletic Department. Photographs in the "A" Club Room sup- plied much valuable data on the personnel of early teams.

year, hut it was not until the school year of 1904-05 that organized activity in this sport was carried on. B;^ v “The first intercollegiate league was formed in 1902
and-the Western Conference, now known as the Big Ten Confer- 1 - enee, in 1905.” The University of Arizona.was not far be-., hind in making basketball an integral part of the athletic
program. / ; . -v, B:-- Through the generosity of Mr. James Douglas, prelimi nary work on the first gymnasium was started in April, 1903. An appropriation from the Legislature made possible;the - com pletion of the building in 1904. That year the gymnasium, which was called Herring Hall, was opened.1 Colonel Herring was instrumental in the promotion which made possible the building of the gymnasium, and it was named in his, honor.
Shortly after, Mr. O.A. Hates was named athletic director. "The Gymnasium is now in full working order, baths in shape, etc. Several classes have been organized under the 1

A ©heok on the reeords for these early years shows that up; until 1919 the most games :heId in any ones season were ten. Practice games, of course, were the main source of competi tion. Games between classes; clubs, and- organizations-" were the highlight of the early basketball1 season/ “ u v r. :
There was a definite need for schedules and, above all, a coach. Games, were- arranged with the Tucson High School, Bisbee; and Douglas Y.M;C.A. teams. There was never any guarantee that these :teams from out-of-town would appear for the game, or that Arizona could meet its obligations for ex penses Of the visitors. ; 1 cr
The uncertainty of transportation facilities and the great distances necessary to travel had a marked effect upon the type of schedule the Athletic Department was able to ar range each year. This factor had much effect upon the insti tution in the early formative years. Transportation of the^7 team from one community to: another was a big problem. The loss of time and energy involved in playing a game away from ; home was tremendous. Generally speaking, it can be said that if there were railroad tracks in the proximity of the scat
tered communities, then it was possible - to schedule games

Automobile transportation was not fully- developed in these years. : . . .r In 1917 the University of Arizona began to expand, and the school scheduled games with other colleges and universi ties. In 1919 the turnout for the teeua was exceptionally good. Two men who are at present on the faculty of the Uni versity, Louis Slonaker and William Pistor, were the nucleus for a team which, in the next few years, was to develop and fare well against competition from within the state, New , Mexico, and California. - • • : -
As the seasons progressed, the schedules became - larger and the competition keener. During these early years Her ring Hall served well as a gymnasium. Because of its size, it was decidedly in Arizona’s favor. It was so constructed that the people sat at the west end, as there was no room for chairs along the sidelines. The backboards were unusual in that the one on the east end of the court was a concrete slab on the brick wall of the gym, while the other one on the west side was made of heavy wire so that the people could see the game through the backboard much the same as modern courts with their glass backboards. This factor alone proved to be a severe handicap to all Arizona’s opponents. For some of the important games, the City Armory was used. This floor was a little larger than the one at the University, but it had some disadvantages for clever basketball.playing. Ik>w , overhanging balconies proved discouraging to teams not 11 familiar with: the floor, "o .

The old gymnasium was used for most games until 1922. In 1922-24'the; home games were played ini the City.Armory, and in 1925 the team.played, their, games • in the Tucson High.y.y-y- School gymnasium.

The team participated in a difficult - schedule of 20 games, of which three were lost. More points were a y scored than in any other one season, and the ratio-of points scored as compared with those of opponents was considerably larger. The "team split even with the champion of the Pacific 12
Coast, the University ©f California. Arizona defeated every
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas team it played; p i •: : : .r, Def inite - progress of the basketball team; in L o the past four years is recalled. Three seasons ago , the team scored.407 points against 130 for op ponents and won all seven games on the schedule. However, only two of these games were against college teams. Two seasons ago the team played ten college teams, scored 352 points, as compared ^ to 206 for opponents. Arizona played the U.S.C. ; - Varsity, splitting even,; in a .four -game - series. : . . • Last season the team rolled up 679 points in 20 games, as compared:to,409 for their opponents.oe They beat a strong U.S.C. team four straight games. 3 hi.; V;. c re ^ i.vi:.. -.he r or ret y ci.‘ ; v.L- .There was steady progress each year after 1924.

Tucson a day before the Texas Teeh-gamei: Arizona lost that game and subsequently the Border Conference championship. Arizona has periodically continued to make these trips to the Midwest and last. -/-- ; Immediately following World War II the calibre of"bas ketball improved, and today Arizona has one of the top rank ing teams in the country. Spectator interest has grown tre mendously. No other sport, except polo, has done more to ' bring national athletic recognition to the University of Ari zona.
Because of his long tenure at Arizona, it seems fitting to touch briefly on Coach Enke's professional career. He was born in Rochester, Minnesota in 1897. While at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, Enke earned two Varsity letters in foot ball and basketball during the years 1918-21. He graduated as a civil engineer. For a short time he coached at South Dakota State College. In 1923 he was appointed athletic director and coach of all sports at the University of Louis ville. In 1925 Enke came to Arizona as head basketball and assistant football coach. He has been at this institution since that time and has served as golf coach, head football scout, and assistant athletic director in addition to the previously mentioned duties. During his coaching career his basketball teams have won seven Conference championships and have twice shared this honor with another member of the Border Conference. 14

CHAPTER IV BASEBALL, 1901-1949 • - ■ History - ■ ■ v“ Baseball began its; long and colorful career as a Var sity sport at Arizona in 1901. There was a definite need for a sport of this nature to take care of the demands of stu dents who wanted an outlet for their■ individual athletic abilities. It was the students who organized baseball and made possible its first development and expansion. Interest was high; the games between classes, clubs and societies (which were the beginning of competition) were hotly con- ' tested. Activity was limited, of necessity, to this type of competition. It was not until 1904 that competition was ar ranged with other schools.' The Indian School in Tucson was the opponent in the first-off-campus game, and six other * outside games were played that year— two with the Tucson Greys, a local team; one with the prep school associated with the University; and two other games with the Indian School. v "’:’ '• ; v- , :/ - - In 1905 the University of Arizona played the Elysian Grove t earn for the first time. This game for the next few years was the ’’big”, game of, the year. The Grove was lo cated on South Main Street about half a mile south of 45 Congress Street ^ and was the scene” of many' games. ° •- Competent coaching was a problem for-the school at this time, and until 1909 the teams vrere "organized and coached by student managers. 1 * --' Fall baseball practice was'instituted for the first - time in 1906. This practice was-followed for a-few years and then was discontinued until 1946. 1 - Captain Newton is hopeful that next season - -'* ■ - an excellent team will be organized, from among - the old and new fellows. Two pitchers have been ' discovered; Gillum and Edgerton. The former hails ' from Fort Huachuca and was pitcher for the crack nine at the Fort. The latter is a heady, consis tent player with a handsome assortment of curves.1 From'their inception the baseball schedules were abbre viated.- Ten games were considered a good number, and the opposition was - generally local in'nature• Games were sched uled with Temper occasionally, but it was" not until 1914 that any out-of-state - competition was mat. At that time a barn storming team from the University of Hawaii came through Tucson. 'They were scheduled for a two-game series, and Ari zona was defeated in both games. This series was the high light of the baseball season for the next two years. Fifteen games were played in 1920, of which Arizona won 11. This was a banner year for baseball because of the number of games, quality of competition, and interest of the players and students. ' •: : 1. University of Arizona Monthly, November, 1906. 46 It is an established fact that baseball is one of the easiest sports to organize. There is no need for great amounts of special equipment, and games can be played on most any cleared area. This explains in great part why base ball schedules were less difficult to arrange locally. A check of the records will substantiate this claim as to the V-y.:, yy. y-vy/ y; y-.y y-;: : re number of local teams played in the early years. Financial difficulties, and the great distances separat ing Tucson from other communities, were the greatest barriers yv; v ; ■. y .yy..;: : -v v - y y'-y-.v:: v-J r:> ;y • • to overcome in securing sufficient competition. y. -y y.y- : f- y; '; , ■■■■■.•. y: / y y y y : V. In 1921 games were arranged with the University of Southern California, and in subsequent years games were played with other Pacific Coast Conference schools. Pacific Coast trips have been a custom since those early days, and form a y.y: 'yy. -v'y.v- y-y - ,. yyyy.-: f y y -yy y - . source of competition which is equal to or better than that found in the Arizona-Texas-New Mexico area. Schedules have become more representative as each sea- - '-y'.- •, - 'yy . : y.yj.-.y., yyu -yvr . son has gone by. Arizona has been the leader in the Border Conference, and has been acclaimed the champion every year. A playoff among the member schools of the Conference was conducted for the first time in the spring of. 1948. The Uni versity of Arizona had little difficulty in winning this tournament...... It. is well to mention that while baseball got its start in 1901, most of the credit for its expansion and develop ment must be given to J.F. McKale. Under his able leader- - \. ; v . ■ . : ' y yy.-.y y .y:yy :■ ^ ; y :y • y ship, Arizona has produced some outstanding players. 47 Hal Warnock, itiio was with the St. Louis Browns, and.Henry. Leiber, who played .with the New York Giants and was one of the National League's leading batters, are products of the University of Arizona and .owe much of their success to the ------•• - * ■ • "• • ^ - ■ ■ - * . - - . .■ . . . • coaching they received while attending school at Arizona. There are many others who, although they never reached the major leagues, have distinguished themselves in the minor cir cuits. . o:. V : The University of Arizona baseball team reached an all- time high in 1936, when it was unofficially acclaimed the intercollegiate champion of the Southwest. This was the . season the^ team.won.. 19 and lost 4 games. Arizona has always maintained pleasant .relations with teams from Mexico and, since 1935 when the custom originated, has sent teams to.play some of the best clubs in that country almost every year. Games have been arranged with Cananea, Nogales, Culiacan, Hermosillo, Mazatlan, and Guaymas. The Second World War made it necessary to curtail activ- ' ' ' ' - ' ■ ■ ' - - ■■■•■ i-:..;: a . U V..'. ities in this sport, as in all others. In 1944 and 1945 no teams were organized. In 1946 baseball resumed its arduous climb up the ladder of intercollegiate recognition. The 1949 season marked the end of the coaching career of J.F. McKale who for 34 years guided the destinies of the baseball teams at the University, of Arizona. He now devotes his full time to the duties of athletic, director. , -It is only fitting that this writing should mark the 4 end of an, : 48 outstanding era of University athletic policy which McKale was instrumental in initiating and developing. The 1950 season will bring forth a new coach in the person of Frank Sancet, a former star pupil of McKale*s in 1929, how returned to begin this new era in Arizona baseball history. Sancet started his athletic career at Glendale High School. He enrolled at the University of Arizona, where he was an outstanding football, basketball, and base- ball player.- — •. -' ■ ■ ■ • • ^ - - ' * After graduation from college he taught and coached at Mansfeld Jr. High School in Tucson. In 1937 he was appointed head coach of all sports at Jerome High School, a position he held for five years. From Jerome he moved to Douglas, Arizona, where his teams gained statewide recognition. After five years of successful coacnmg there, he was appointed assistant football coach at the University. Since that time he has taken on the coaching of the freshman basketball team, and in 1950 will assume the duties of head baseball coach. The writer feels that no man has done more to develop the atletic plant and program, and in general to bring more recognition to the University, than J.F. McKale. One has but to look around him to see the vast improvements which have been made over the years; and most of the planning and hard work which go along with such progress were done by McKale. He had visions of these developments in his early years at Arizona, and in each new addition to the facilities 49 of the athletic plant it was apparent they would serve not only for the present, but for many years to come. James Fred McEale was born in Lansing, Michigan on June 12, 1887. He graduated from Albion College, Albion, . Michigan.in 1910 with a B.A. degree. His first coaching position.was at the Superior (Wisconsin) High School in that same year. In 1911 he moved to Tucson as coach of all sports at.the Tucson High School. During the period 1911- 1914 his athletic teams were noted for their aggressive play and ability. On occasion his teams defeated the University representatives in the various activities. At that time the University was attempting to stabilize its athletic program, and in order to do this it was neces sary to employ a coach of high ability, one that the adminis tration could rely upon staying to do the job. McEale was appointed in 1914 as athletic director and coach of all sports. He was responsible for renewed interest in all the sports, and also introduced a plan for intramural sports in 1918. The intramural program has since developed into an integral part of the physical education program and student campus life. McEale has coached continuously until his recent re tirement from active coaching. He now devotes his full time to the position of athletic director. He is currently hold ing office as president of the American Association of Base ball Coaches. 50 The m t e r i a l ;contained in this chapter has been ob tained in most part from the files of the Athletic Depart ment, the records of the Arizona Press Bureaus, interviews with Coach McKale and Sam Mansfeld, who was a member of Ari zona’s first track team.

The organization and promotion of the team were made possible through the efforts of Coach «T.L.: Picard; who devoted many hours of personal attention to the sport during its four short years of existence. A check bn the records will show that the University boxing teams- were outstanding in both individual and team make-up. During’the period of its existence, boxing occu pied a precarious positibn;in the intercollegiate field. Students and f acuity were reluct ant-to: endorse the sport as an intercollegiate activity, and the member schools of the Border Conference were never too enthusiastic about its welfare. ' . Boxing was voted out of the intercollegiate program by a majority of the"members of the Conference in 1938^ and since that time interest at Arizona has centered around the intramural boxing program. Several attempts at reactiva tion have met with opposition,- and there have been hd boxing teams in-the Border Conference since 1938. 77 - ;v ^ ; ^ Te^ b7 Year Record x : : : v: 5 V: ; 'V;:.v 11.1”. I'. 1 :,1 - Coach: J.L. Picard At the, first Border Conference boxing tournament at Albuquerque, Arizona placed 6 men in the finals and, won 3 division championships. The University of New Mexico team pushed the Arizona team into second place, however, taking first" team honors for itself. The Arizona victories were registered by Bill Rosen berg, who won the featherweight division despite a fractured wrist; Kenneth Pisher , middleweight; and George "Doc" John son, light-heavyweight. .' -Jn : — Jerome Gordon, Ed O'Mar a and George Cobbe went to the finals in their respective divisions.

Picard : -Arizona won the state title in a tournament held at Tempe. Three championships and 2 second places in these matches clinched the title for the Wildcats. - - In March the team won the Border Conference title. Four championships and 2 second places were won. Joe Sachen was undefieated [in "college com^tition; Leon Gray, Golden Glove champion of Arizona; Rogers Carter, 2-time winner 78 of the Border Title; and George Byrne won the championships for the Wildcats. Ben D. Gross and Bill Botke reached the finals. ^ 1 Lettermen: J. Byrne B. Huffman R. Carter E. O ’Hara L. Gray W. Rosenberg B. Gross J. Sachen E. Nunnelly 0. Swanson 1936-37 : ■ Coach: J.L. Picard The boxing team continued its dominance of the Border Conference mitt men this year by decisively beating Tempe and New Mexico in dual meets, thereby winning the title for the second successive year. Arizona lost only 1 match to the Tempe team, and won every bout from the visiting New Mexico Lobos. After these two matches, the Conference meet was called off and the championship awarded to Arizona. Joe Sachen, Leon Gray and Bruce Huffman competed in the National Intercollegiate Meet at Sacramento in April of 1937• While affording excellent competition to their op poents, they were unsuccessful in placing first or second in their weight divisions. The team championship went to Washington State. The Arizona Team failed to win a match, but .... .its three members showed more fight and courage : .;than any outfit in the tournament .... The Wildcats can go home satisfied of putting up the 79 test bouts of the tournament, even though each was eliminated in his first start.1 Lettermen: L. Gray A. Panas B. Huffman, (Captain) A.

CHAPTER V POOTBAU., 1899-1949 History From a dusty field rolling with tumbleweed and thick with sand burrs and from a schedule which most high schools of the present day would never think of playing, football at Arizona has progressed to one of the finest athletic fields and plants in the Southwest, with schedules representative of big time football. . In the spring of 1899 Stuart F. Forbes and Professor F. Ya]je Those were the days when eligibility rules were un known. On many occasions, men participated who were not even enrolled in school. Frequently the coaches or the managers would play for the team. . - The calibre of the Arizona team and of the'opposition was not outstanding in those early years. Games were gen erally scheduled with the local high school or the Tucson ^^iSP.^z&iHing School. Occasionally a group of townsmen and:aluimi wuM^challenge the University team to a game. 81 The coaching profession was not regarded highly by many, and it was difficult to secure the services of com petent men in this.:far, out-of-the-way place. As a; result, there was:much,agitation in the school paper regarding bur lowly place and the hiring of tramp coaches. ; Efforts were made byi some students and townspeople to enliven the interest in football. "There has been lack of interest on the part of students and faculty toward ath- 1 letics in general." \ The football team made its first journey out of the state.;, in November , 1905 to play, at St. Vincent is College in Los Angeles. This was one of the first night football games ever played, in the:West, and-;the first one in which Arizona participated. . ■"v:.--. - w :. a.-: . , v On behalf of the University Athletic Asso ciation, the Monthly wishes to cordially thank the business men of Tucson for their pecuniary aid in the prosecution of athletics. The Asso ciation is. bearing a heavy,burden owing to the o heavy expenses incident to the football team’s 1 .. journey to Los Angeles in November.2 .. . _ . . In 1905 the Preps were made a separate team and played the Tucson Indian School. They were indispensable to: the Varsity, as they supplied spirited opposition. • ■ • Football experienced many growing pains. The location of a permanent field was a major problem. The first foot ball field was located where the Library now stands. As 1. university of Arizona Monthly. April, 190A. 2. Editorial, TEid.. November. 190L.. 82 the University grew in size and new buildings were erected, the site of the field was moved from one place to another. It was finally moved to its'present location in 1929• pibtures of the old athletic field are a part of the collection of photographs assembled in the "A” club room at the men’s gym. These will later be moved to the new Stu dent Union building. ' : - ■' - • - : , • : ' , . * ' Soioe years brought enthusiastic support from the foot ball players and the students. : There were* times when not enough men could be interested1 in the sport- to conduct a practice, much less have a game!' The financial burden was heavy on the shoulders of the Athletic Association, and money had to be solicited from local business men. There Was no officidl"name'given to these loyal supporters then, but a similar organization exists today which is known as ...:• : , ;; V-...... - rv-c .• V the Towncats.

In the first fourteen years of actual football competi tion, coaches came almost as regularly as the season^ There were li coaches during this period. "At last the Univer sity has freed itself of the tramp coach system. Many pre dict that present irregularities in athletics will be elim- 3 inated by a full-time'coach.*’ " But it was hot until 191A, when the Board of Regents hired J.7. McKale, that: Arizona had the services of a full-time coach. Upon his arrival the' foundations for firm athletic programs'were laid. y. Arizona- Weekly Life; l«Say 23, 1912. 83 Mr. McKale has the longest tenure as a coach at this insti- tution. As coach of all sports, McKale had duties of gigantic proportions to fulfill. However, as the enrollment in creased, he was relieved of first one assignment then another until he retired from active coaching in 1949 to devote bis full time to directing the Athletic Department’s responsibilities. .. , The Varsity football team made its second invasion of " * ■ - - ■ • ■ ■ ' f ^ f ^ ~ • - •- •- -- *■ • .«■> i ;» - - - ' - California in lj92fS, and came back with a great, victory of 7 to 6 over Pomona.. The following year, after defeating Pomona a second time by the score of. 7 to 3» the students made plans for the construction of the huge "A" rock on Sentinel Peak three miles west of the University. Saturday, October 23, 1915, went down in the greater Arizona history, hot as the echo of . enthusiasm sounding the joy of a football vic tory, but as a solid masonry of action and at tainment.4 Actual construction work commenced on Saturday, November ■ - - v r . - v ... - ■■■; ■ ■ 13, 1915 and was carried out under many difficulties and discouragements until, finally finished on "A" Day, l%rch 4, 1916. . " The team became more proficient under the watchful eye of Coach McKale, and competition and schedules became tougher. Arizona became a school to be reckoned with on the gridiron. Opponents were sought not only in California 4. Arizona Desert, 1916. 5. Ibid. but-also in the Midwest. As the snort developed, the coaoh- ihg staff'became"larger, First one assistant, then two, and finally three men were added. James' Pierce was the first assistant football coachy'appointed in 1921. Fred Bnke was added to the staff 'in-I925; along with Walter Davis. Then in 1926 Tom Gribbings was named as assistant and also was the trainer for the team;1': ■' : " ~ ' ■^ During the critical years of the First:World War, foot ball -naturally was curtailed. In 1917 there was sporadic ‘ interest arid only 5 games were played; The following year ‘ there was no football at all. The campus was used as a S.A;T. Camp. The ’ sport was resumed tin' 1919, arid the period from then until 1930 starids out as one of the best in the history of cthe in stitut1on. ' A^few more "intercollegiate games were added tc the schedule, with an eye toward broad expan sion^’ : :v; r.;: v.^ - Through the1years the transformation of the athletic " fields from the desert wastes into facilities -which are to day- some of the best1 in the'-country was a slow progress. It was during this period that the University1s most memorable atletic slogan "Bear Down* was given to the Wildcat teams by John "Button" Salmon, president of the student body:and Var sity f00tball quarterback and baseball catcher, shortly be fore he died in 1926 following an automobile accident which occurred during the gridirbn season of that year. "Button" Salmon V last message to his teammates, spoken to ' J.f V McKaie, w s : •’Tell them to ’heELP dom. *.’’ This slogan appears,;in large-letters today; on the roof of the men’s gymnasium, n.-:.. :L. Salmon aspired to be a Varsity athlete from the time he entered the University. v For. three years, he was Just one of the many who', in the words.of a coach. Just wasn’t good enough. He would not be denied, however,. His was a fight ing heart and he battled his way to the top. His struggle for athletic recognition is paralleled by the institution’s desire to field - teams that would bring it national acclaim. In 1927 Arizona defeated a strong U.C.L.A. team by the score of 16-13• An amusing incident occurred in that game which might have cost Arizona the victory. There :was very little time left and the score was tied at 13-13. For every game, preceding, this particular one,. Arizona- had used Larry Sever to drop kick the extra;points and field goals. He was one of the best in, the Southwest; drop kicking was his - specialty.. Coach McKale sent Sever in for, the express pur- post of kicking a field goal but at that time, according to the rules, a substitute could not converse with anyone until one play had been run. Milt Morse, the quarterback on the team and a smart, one, realized there was only one thing to do and that was kick a field, goal. However, when the -team , came out of the huddle, it was Morse who was back in kick formation. The kick was successful; Morse was. the hero of the game, and the coaching staff had - aged considerably. The University of Arizona, like many other schools, did 86 not belong to any athletic conference until 1931 when the : : •' ' * - ' *.

This ;,y :: v,oh::- explains in part.why Arizona played so many California schools} the University’s competition was mainly from that direction. Since that year, Arizom football teams have won only 3 Conference championships. In 1935, 1936 and 1941 the University was oo-champion with Hardin-Simmons University.

Fred Enke was appointed head football coach in 1931, a position he held for one year. From 1932 until 1949, four different coaches were appointed, Miles W. Casteel having the longest tenure of 8 years. It was during Casteel’s tenure that Arizona attempted to build up its schedule and :;■ rci* X X ' '.:T "V. : ' ' - v; v play the ’’big time” schools.

The decision was made shortly before the date for fall training to open. Games scheduled .on a 2-year basis had to be postponed until such a time as they could again be listed. . -r; :: 1944 There was no encouragement for the renewal of the sport this year, as war time pressures were still in evidence.

Picard : Miles W. Casteel, head football coach, conducted a 2-week spring training period in early May, which was not entirely satisfactory from the standpoint of number and quality of material. An initial turnout of 32 boys dwindled to S or 9 before the end of the 2-week period; a number of the players were inducted into the armed services during the summer months, and the outlook for the fall of 1945 looked doubtful. Arizona was able to schedule 5 games for this year. Lettermen: . 0. Capps S. Kolesar E. Schaeffer I. Coppinger M. Lawrence W. Steele V. Cunningham G, Lent N. Stevenson G, Durazzo A. Mendoza B.

C.% L. .niv -c:-: CHAPTER VI GOLF, 1935-1949 In comparison with the other Varsity sports, golf re ceived a late start as an intercollegiate activity. There have been few outstanding accomplishments in national com petition accredited to the teams; however, several individu als have done well in the national meets. , Coach Fred Enke was instrumental in having golf placed on the University’s varsity program, and has been the coach since the inception of the sport in 1935. Golf differs from the other Varsity sports in that there are no systematic practice sessions. Team members generally do not play to gether because of class schedule conflicts; too, golf is purely an individual sport. The type of competition which Arizona encountered in the early years was confined to the Border Conference, and then the only evidence of the sport’s being active was the participation in the annual Border Conference championship matches. Other matches were scheduled during the year with business and professional groups and clubs, the high school, and occasionally with Arizona State College at Tempe. In 1941 golf was coming into its own. That year Ari zona had a fairly representative schedule. Tom Coffin 124 played on the winning West team with W. Berl, Stanford, in the N.C.A.A. Tournament at Columbus, Ohio. Arizona as a team placed 19th with a 652 score. Golf as a sport was dormant during the war years of 1942, 1943> 1944 and 1945» much the same as other sports, but was renewed with increased vigor and activity by Coach Enke in the spring of 1946. Since that time the schedules have become more competitive, with matches arranged with U.S.C., U.C.L.A., San Diego, and the schools of the Border Conference. Arizona has dominated the Conference and has won the title 7 times in 11 years. Arizona has been as active in promoting golf as most other colleges and universities; but because of limited fi nances and the necessity of playing matches at the local country club, golf never has had, and in all probability never will know, the heights of competition enjoyed by our major sports.

" ‘ ' ' year 1941-42 the Arizona polo teams traveled far and ac quitted themselves well. The game at Arizona has undergone much growth and many changes. " 'Those beginning days were meager ones. There is a story'tbldnby John Weadock, who covered polo in those days Writing stories concerning the sport for the Arizona Daily Star. It recalls that when Colonel Parker d&lled his first practice, the squad of candidates found before them 8 crow- baited horses, 2 or 3 balls, and 4 mallets as total equip- I;.'., 5-;-' ! ... ^ ment.‘"Whether that story is based on fact it is hard to V ’ ' '• • ; ' say; but it is certain that the first assortment of hopefuls among the potential players numbered several men who had just learned to ride.

This plot had the disadvantage of practically every sizable piece ' of land in southern Arizona— it possessed, a few inches under its surface of light brown soil, a stratum of caliche, a ■c yc.y •V - ; ■ r.-. calciform rock which is peculiar to Arizona.

Games are not scheduled" in advance; rather, the contests come up one by one. The reason for this was simple, in as much as the de partment had to keep an eye on the budget to see if addi tional games could be arranged. : vi?. i. w ':» ,» Polo, the sport laughed at by football and basketball players, ridiculed by many others on the campus, less than a decade later was to become the only athletic activity at the u,v.: ' University upon which the entire state could unite in whole hearted 'enthusiasm. - No other colleges in Arizona sponsored teams. :'•//. 'V:.." An Arizona polo team invaded the East for the first time in 1924, and lost to Princeton for the collegiate title. Arizona did not reach the high goal class until 1931 when its team, led by Willie Dritt and coached by Captain Gene Mauger, was rated at from 14 to 20 goals. "Arizona has the finest team combination in polo today," That same year Will Rogers gave a benefit performance at the Tucson Eox Theater to help raise money for the eastern trip. In only one year, including the initial season, did the University polo team lose more than half its games. With the advent of the Second World War and the change 3. Stoddard, Louis 3. Chairman, U.S. Polo Association, 1931 • 134 from a cavalry unit to a mechanized group, polo became a casualty which, at this, writing, has not been reinstated. Numerous attempts have been made, but none was successful. The University was not willing to accept the responsibility of rsponsoring a team, since the cost was prohibitive.

Because there were no funds available for a coach Austin Kaercher, who lettered in swimming at Wash ington University, St. Louis, acted as student coach. The Wildcat natators, a bit nervous in their first in tercollegiate meet, went down to defeat at the hands of the U.C.L.A. team by a score of 37-22; but the Arizona boys made a good showing and gained confidence through competition. Two days later they competed with U.S.C. The U.S.C. team was highly regarded in Pacific Coast competition and had previously defeated the University of California at Berkeley and Stanford. When the meet was over, Arizona had emerged the victor by a score of 37-22. This was an auspicious be ginning. MThe Wildcat has shown his strength in another field; ; May he scratch again.” The administration did not regard swimming as a Varsity sport, and in order to send the team on this one trip, sev eral dances were given to raise funds. In 1929 a moving 1 1. The Desert, 19Z9T - ' - 153 picture was sponsored,to raise funds for meets which might ^ .x' z Cx, - ex.- h:'-- The pool used in those days was located north of where the physical plant now stands. It was not until 1930 that the.present pool facilities were made available. The first year any financial support was given the team by the. administration was in 1930. It also marked the first-time letters were awarded. Financial difficulties and curtailment of other Varsity sports for the same reason were responsible for discontin- uing swimming the following year. The sport was not re activated until the spring of 1946. Coach Norris Steverson • • - was responsible for this renewed activity. The team par- -ticipated in only one meet. The Border Conference Meet was held, at Albuquerque,.in which Arizona won all first places and established all the records. In the:spring,of 1947, Coach Charles Ott turned out another winner; the team was.one of the strongest in Ari- zona’s history. The Arizona swimmers ran away with the "Border Conference Meet, again winning all first places and setting two new'reoords. That year Arizona lost two dual meets to U.C.L.A. and U.S.C. Since the start of Border Conference Swimming Meets, Arizona has dominated the field. In the spring of 1948 Arizona had the only full team at the Conference Meet, and the following year the event was called off because only two schools were interested. 154 Swimming probably never will reach the level of a major sport until more member schools of the Conference organize and support swimming teams. The University of Arizona will continue to sponsor swimming, but any hopes for a represen tative schedule at this time seem dark. ; Tear by Year Record 1927-28 - ' ■ Coach: Austin Kaercher , : „ Team: W.

Tennis has oome along the intercollegiate sports .trail with many more ups and downs than the other Varsity sports. From the, first use of the limited court; space in 1901 when three courts were available to the period. 1932, tennis was a student-motivated and organized sport. The first courts were constructed of dirt, with tape markers for the lines. They-were.inferior^in quality,. and interest was lacking, primarily because of. the facilities. , . During the first four, years that any records were.kept, there was only sporadic interest. The prep players were the ones most interested. As is true with any student-controlled and operated venture, there must be one or two interested persons to . . . carry the load of organizing.activities and of accepting responsibilities.Occasionally there was someone who was vitally interested, and the results were gratifying. . Other years tennis , existed without a helping hand. :, -«It was not until 1924 that four new concrete courts were constructed near the Observatory, and the students had good .courts on which to play. These were obtained after much dissatisfaction on the part of students with the old dirt courts, which were located near where the present Hu manities building now stands. 1 -- - a . School matches and tourruamentg were generally intra mural in nature. Frequently matches were scheduled with the various high schools and Indian schools in the Territory; The Normal School at Tempe sponsored several tournaments each year, and three or four of the local University players were generally there to" compete. The climate in Tucson is beneficial to year-round playing, and’generally there are L tournaments held in the fall arid’ spring. v ~ ; r ; . -No Varsity letter awards w r e given until 1913, and ho outsidfcompetition was met until 1920, when several players were sent to California to play Occidental College, Redlands University, and UiS.C. " The team won only the Occidental series.^ i-:, The first year that Arizona was fortunate to have the services of a coach was in 193 2, when Louis Slonaker, then graduate manager, induced- C.Z. Lesher to supervise the tennis courts and to coach- those students who were1interested in' • the sport. The graduate manager arranged the few matches held with other schools. In 1932, a student manager was designated to see that practices1 were held1 and schedules ■' completed. ---v; : :‘o-'c M-:-:; When Lesher took on the coaching duties in 1932, it- marked a turning-point in the tennis program as a Varsity 160 sport. Schedules became more regular and practices were more consistent. Eren thou^i tennis is still considered a minor sport, it has done muoh^to establish the University on a competitive basis \7ith: other, sclioois in the Coaferenee and ohthe' Pacific 'Coast* - L ~ - ^ Until 1939 there were only four courts, but in 1940 four others were completed adjacent to the original ones near the Observatory. • In 1947 three more courts were coh- structed north of the others, imking a total of eleven; ‘ v Much credit must be given to those who participate in Varsity tennis, as it is a year-round sport. There is no layoff after the season’s competition, if one is to expect improvement. In. this respe et, there is not enough .court space to care for .the needs of P*l. classes for both men and men and for the intramural program, along with prac tice for the. Varsity. . - . - • - In the early years of its existence, tennis was the victim of limited finance, lack of adequate court space, and the absence of competent coaching* However, through the years of student effort and recently the advice of Coach lasher, tennis has won for itself a place on the athletic program. . ^ .' - ■ -' The Varsity team has produced some outstanding players thr6i%h the years, among lAiom are George Cloud, Harold Tovrea, George Greeni Warner Gerlach, P. Soloman, George Judson, I. Labensart, Si Ganem, Brant Smith, Merle Moore, and Tom Van Fleet. ' Actually,;tennis has never had a full-time coach. • h ’ ' ; : ‘ " The greatest booster far tennis in this sec tion; of the country, as well as the University, is able C.Z, Lesher, who miraculously;finds.time to coach the Wildcats"as well as interviewing and guiding thousands of students every year; as regis trar.! ; Arizona has always had outstanding tennis teams, far su perior to;any other squad in the Southwest, They have been ; ; Border Conference champions ever since the sbeginning of the : 2 : : Annual Tournament in 1937-38.

U 0 CHAPTER X TRACK, 1897-1949 History i Records reveal that the first organized athletic com petition at the University of Arizona was conducted in track •and field athletics. This was in the year 1897, when a group of students organized an impromptu affair. This meet was held at Union Park, located east of the Southern Pacific tracks near Park Avenue. On February 22, 1901 the town team issued a challenge to the college boys; the University won all but two events and gave track its first sustained in terest. :3::;lc?he fl^st track meets held at the University were en tirely interclass in nature, or challenge matches with the Tucson Athletic Club or Town Team. It was not until 1904 that the University team engaged in a dual meet, and that was with the Bisbee Y.M.C.A. team. The score of that meet wasUniversity of Arizona 64, Bisbee 40. : . Competition slipped back into the interclass division the following year, and there was only a desultory interest. Other schools in the Southwest showed little interest in 1. The Burro. 190 3 " L track. ..This was .the nature of competition until 1908 when the University met Tempe for the first time. - The meetings between these two schools have since been built into a great rivalry. Arizona won the first meet 64 to 58. Between 1908 and 1916i trips.were made to various relay carnivals on the coast and to El Paso, but generally.during this time the track team showed evidence of going through a process -of, , f' v-.;« . . . -l *■ •- ■ ■■ • ,. ■* .-v >••• -- -- growing pains. . . . ■...... , . , ; . ., ; It was in 1915 that the Agricultural building was . erected upon,the site where the track oval and football field had been located, thus^depriving the track team of an oval , for. meets that year. , .. . Coached by J.3?. McKale, the University of Arizona en tered the ;first southwestern intercollegiate meet in 1916. Arizona garnered. 64, points, New Mexico University 36, New Mexico Aggies 25, and New Mexico Mines 1. . ..Track and field activities went ahead at full speed at Arizona after 1916, although naturally the competition fell off during .World War I. In 1918 Arizona entered major competition by sending four men to the Southern California Conference meet on the coast. Arizona’s Eosburg won first in, the mile and two-mile runs; times were 4 m. 33 s. and 10 m. 382 s., respectively. The other three men— Marlar, Hardaway, and Iselin— failed to place. The events which appeared on the track program were much the same in those days as they are now with the exception of the wheel races, 177 hammer throw,' hop-skip-anti-jump, tug-of-war; and standing broad jump. Track athletics became a sport of major impor- " tahce at the University of Arizona after- the Y.M.C.A. relay carnival-meet ’ held on- April 7, 1918. ‘ ^ a - 'During the following lA-year interval times and dis- tancesremained static, and it was not until 1932 that in dividual stand-out performers began to actively participate from season to season in top-ranking national meets. Clarence Sample placed second in the javelin throw at the N.C.A.A. meet in Chicago in 1932 and 1933; he was also second in the same event during the 1932 Drake Relays. The Univer sity 440-yard relay team* won fourth place in the Drake Re*- lays.' ' • • ■ - - - - ■ •' - - In 1934 Earl Nolan placed fourth in the javelin throw at the Long Beach relays; Arizona’s Carlson took the shot put championship and the Wildcat 2-mile relay team finished "second in this' same meet. In the Kansas relays, ’the 2-mile relay team took third placed : : : -I ^ - 'Arizona*s 880-yard relay team took first place in the 1935'Long Beach relays, and placed second in two other relay races. Several;other individuals were sent to nationally known meets in 1935, where they gave a good account of them selves. In 1948 Joe Hippie very nearly qualified in the N.C.A.A. Olympic trials held at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Parker Gregg finished third in the discus throw at the 1948 Texas Relays. 178 t ’v: 'A''memorable event of the 1921 track team occurred at the Greenway Field meet at Phoenix on April 23. Charley Pad- dock, one of the greatest sprinters in United States track history and still in his prime, accepted an invitation to participate in the 220-yard dash as an exhibition race. At that time he was having a motion picture of his life filmed in Hollywood.' tiheh he agreed to enter the Greenway meet, Hollywood officials thought it would make an exceptional scene to have Paddock winning his specialty under actual ' «■* *- • : • t .•••• s » •* i . • . • *» . ; -T -> j , - v * ^ f -• . -i. conditions. John Scott,' Arizona track and field captain,™ ; and several other runners entered the 220 also. Paddock of course whs favored'. d?he cameras ground out as the race be gan, but Hollywood was thrown for a financial loss because Arizona's Scott beat Paddock to the tape, taking the victory in 22 1/5 seconds.™ : ; : ' • ' ' : ^ in 1928 Arizona had" one of its greatest track perfdr- mers in the'person of Clyde Blanchard. His University record still stands in the 220-yard low hurdles; his time of 23.6 is only 1.1 seconds more than the present world's record 2 for the same distance. ' ' Another highlight in the history of Arizona track came in 1936 when the Wildcats defeated TJ.S.C. Trojans and San Diego State College in a triangular meet at Phoenix, with &. Pavlovich, Louis.

U- The first man to be given the title of President of the " ' - : v ■... : — : " University was Dr. Theodore B. Comstook (1891-1894). There rive; -c-v ; were no outstanding developments in athletics during his tenure; he was interested primarily in the engineering field, and stressed this phase of learning above all others. The administrations of Presidents Billman, Parker, and Adams each contributed in its way to the development of the university, although the lib rjnethod of their appointments was unfortunate.-*- bt: 11 Reverend Howard Billman (18%-1897) , whose primary in terest was the education of the Indian population and who was head of the Tucson Indian School, was asked if he would be president while visiting the University one day. It was during his last year, 1897 # that the first organized athletic activity was held, that being in the form of a track meet with the local town team. President Millard A. Parker (1897- 1901), although of high qualifications, "became involved in 1. Lutrell, Sis telle. Semi-Centennial of the Establishment of the University. 193$. i 202 local intrigue, ” and was supplanted "by Professor Yale F. Adams (1901-1903) of the faculty. Professor Adams and Stuart F. Forbes were responsible for the formation of the first football team in-1899• The first baseball activity on the campus was organized in 1901 and received promising support from the administration. The methods used in appointing presidents was inef ficient, and the faculty made direct appeal to the Board of Regents to appoint an educator of some;standing and asked that he be given some security of tenure in office. Dr. K.C. Babcock (1903-I9IO) became the first educator of note to hold the office of president*. During his admin istration the first gymnasium was built j and Mf. A;0. Kates wds appointed Director of Athletics. Science Hall, the Library, and Museum (now the present Law building) were built. Dr. Babcock resigned in December,1910 to accept a similar position at another University. Dr;. AiE. Douglas was named acting president to finish out the year 1910-11. This was the year that the University football team won its first trophy, donated by the Arizona Daily Star, for winning a three-year series with the University of New Mexico. This trophy is kept in the "A" club room at the Men*s Gym. During the administration of President Arthur H. Wilde (1911-1914) baseball became a major part of the Varsity *7 Ibid. — 203 i program.■ An average of eight games a season were played, two of which were against•the University of Hawaii in the spring of 1914. President Wilde .ims interested in expanding all departments of the University; he was responsible for ,r:' the beginning of University Week, extension courses, and farmers' institutes. , $: Dr. R.B. Ton. KleinSmid was the next president (1914- 1922). In the spring of 1915, Mr. J.F. McKale was appointed thead baseball coach.. The following fall he took over the motive coaching of all Varsity sports and was active in these ^sports for thirtyrfour years, until his retirement from coaeh- ; ing in the spring of 1949. . The eighth president of the University was Dr. C.H. Marvin (1922-1927).. During his te?m of office the University -acquired a modern, well-equipped gymnasium. The construe- • tlon of the new University Library was another highlight of his ladministration. . It also marked the establishment of the: College of Law, vdiioh has since become one of the finest In the Southwest. . • During the administration of Professor Byron Cummings, (1927-1928) the University athletic department gained some favorable publicity. John Scott,.captain of the track team, defeated Charley Paddock in the 220-yard dash in an exhibition race at the Greenway Field,Meet in Phoenix. Paddock held the world’s record,in the 100-yard dash at that time, and his time for the 220-yard dash was, not too far off the world 204 record. : x".. :' ■ - : Dr. Homer L. Shantz (1928-1936) was responsible for the strengthening of all University departments. The west side football stadium, quarter-mile track, and baseball stadium build in 1929 are all evidence of his interest in athletics. In 1935 the Works Progress Administration allotted " #815,000 for the construction of a classroom building for the Humanities, a science building, an administration building, the auditorium, museum, infirmary, women’s building, military stables, and. several farm buildings. This was truly a great step forward in the development of the University. In that year the football and basketball teams won the Border Confer ence championships in their respective divisions. In October, 1936 Dr. Paul Steere Burgess was appointed president upon the resignation of Dr. Shantz. He held office until May, 1937. In 1937 Dr. Alfred Atkinson was appointed president. During his administration the University gained national recog nition when it made available all its facilities to the armed - forces for the training of personnel for the Second World War. The most notable change on the campus was the building of the Navy mess hall (which has just been removed to make room for the Student Union building), and the transformation of the Men’s Gymnasium into barracks for these trainees. There were accommodations for 1,000 men to be quartered at one time. During the period of the war years about 12,000 men received 205 some training from-the Navy Indootrination- School, Pre-flight Cadets, and the-‘A.S.T.P* programs; the" Aa j ority were Navy^ The central seotioa of the east side stadium for the foot ball field was built in 1958. The two end'sections, which made the east stadium comparable in size to the west stadium, were completed in 1946. A - dormitory and cafeteria were in corporated in the east stadium, " •" : i . ■; • In July, 1947 Dr, Byron McCormick assumed the duties of president, and for the first time in the history of the University a new administrative office was created,' that of vice-president. Dr.Robert L. Nugent, a former Arizona track athlete and Rhodes -Scholar, was named to this position. Under their administration, plans have been made for the ad dition to the football stadium which will make it horseshoe- type with a seating capacity of 23,500.

Basketball was introduced on the Arizona campus in 1904. Since that time 648 games have been played, of which 206 452 were won and 196 lost. Nine eoaohes:direeted the bas ketball endeavors-of Arizona squads during-the years, with Coach Fred Bake having the longest tenure, 2 4 years..

There was.some baseball activity before 1901, which is the first year any records were kept, but it was mostly of the pick-up-game variety. Since 1901 there have been,511 - games played; there were 359 victories against 144 defeats; and 8 tie games. Eleven coaches have directed the.teams y , during the existence of baseball as a Varsity sport, with J.F. MoKale having the longest tenure, 34 years.

The Arizona polo team played 3 matches the first year, los ing all three: games, but the foundation was laid for many successful years to come. The:best-season the:team experi enced fwas 1930-31.when 3A games were won, 6 lost, and 1 tied. That season included a long eastern trip, against outstanding competition. Letter awards have been:made-to 109 men. -The teams-have won:329 matches, lost: 119, and tied 13; they have 208 competed against 75 different opponents. Since its inception. Varsity swimming has occupied a precarious position in the athletic program. The necessity for extensive travel in connection with meets has influenced many of the schools in the Border Conference against this sport. Arizona has dominated the field; and in the three years that the Conference conducted meets, the University won every event and set all records. Records against teams from California have hot been impressive. On each occasion the Arizona team has given a good account of itself, but has been unable to win a meet from a Pacific Coast school.

Many good relation ships with schools on the Pacific Coast have been built up over the years. Arizona tennis teams have fared well against these competitors, and since the inception of the Border Con ference tournament in 1937 has won every championship; 138 men have received letter awards since 1913. The first organized sport to be activited on the Uni versity of Arizona campus was track and field in I897. Since that year 542 men have won letter awards; the records show 62 victories, 24 defeats, and 1 tie meet. Arizona track teams dominated the Border Conference schools until 1947, when their winning streak was broken. Nine coaches have guided the track teams in the 52 years, and Arizona 209 teams have competed against 32 different opponents. Since the beginning.in 1891, each new expansion in the physical plant has been paralleled by major developments in the athletic department's program.
