But prior to the 1915 season, new coach John “Chief” Bender gave his squad the nickname “Wildcats.” The moniker lasted the one season Bender coached at K-State. Under Coach Z.G. Clevenger in 1917, the school team became known as the “Farmers.” In 1920 another new coach, Charles Bachman, took over the program, renaming the team “Wildcats.” This time, the nickname stuck. WILLIE THE WILDCAT Willie, a student bedecked in an oversized Wildcat head, is K-State’s No. 1 fan. Willie Wildcats are selected yearly by a panel appointed by the cheerleader coach. The mascot is a central part of athletic contests, but al- so attends functions around the state as an ambassador. Traditionally, the identity of the student portraying Willie is kept secret. SCHOOL SONGS The Alma Mater was selected as a result of an 1888 campus contest. H.W. Jones (‘88) was responsible for K- State’s prized result. Jones’ original work was four stanzas including the chorus.
