143 Review of the Season.
The football season for igc8 opened with the brightest prospects for a winning team for Washington seen in many years. Much talk was indulged in before the season started, and for several reasons:— A new chancellor, and one rumored to be friendly towards ath- letics, had been appointed. A new coach had been procured. And one of the hardest schedules ever attempted by a Washington team stood forth as a brilliant possibility. Many expected wonders to happen—expected a team that would roll up massive scores in every game—they, of course, were dis- appointed, while others expecting a repetition of the previous year's failures were gloriously disappointed. The team was light, exceptionally so. Averaging, as it did, only 152 pounds, it was without doubt the lightest team that ever represented Washington on the gridiron; and in all probability it was the lightest team that ever represented any University of the standing of W. U. What was wanting in weight, however, was made up in speed, en- thusiasm and fighting spirit—components of the team that seemed en- tirely lacking in 1907. Practice this year started about a week before the opening of the University, but inasmuch as this was something new only a few re- ported to the coach until after matriculation day. Another innovation this season was the night practice held on the field illuminated by arc lamps. The bright prospects of the first few days were somewhat darkened by the announcement that Nipher, Schiller and Howe, all of whom had shown up exceptionally well in practice, were ineligible to play. This left Coach Cayou with but one backfield with which to go through the entire season. The first game of the season, a practice affair against Battery A, finished with Washington the winner, 5-0. The following Saturday Washington and Carleton College battled a scoreless game. Shurtleff came next, but the Myrtle and Maroon boys had struck their stride and Shurtleff was handed a 26-6 drubbing. Knox College, a sort of dark horse, was next to call. Although outweighing Wash- ington some 10 pounds per man, they were forced to swallow a n-6 defeat. The trip to Kansas followed. The team had a rousing send- off, but soon ran into a blizzard of seven days' duration. The condi- tions at Lawrence were almost impossible. The field was covered with from seven to twelve inches of snow, ice and water. With her ad- vantage in weight of 20 pounds per man, Kansas was able to push her

way through the slush for two touchdowns. With the men chilled to the bone, some of them unable to walk, the game was called at the end of the first half. Score io-o. Rose Poly Technic, still glorying in their defeat of Wabash, came next. Again outweighed 12 pounds to the man, Cayou's braves played Rose to a standstill in one of the prettiest games of the season. With the score 6-5 against them at the opening of the second half, Washing- ton simply overwhelmed the Terre Haute boys and won out, 11-6. The Milliken game, which followed, was slow, but Washington had no trouble in winning 16-0. Next came the Missouri at Columbia. Once more the team ran into a snow storm. Hopelessly outweighed 28 pounds per man, the Myrtle and Maroon team faced the best team that has ever represented the State University. With both quarter backs dis- abled in the first half, Washington was forced to play only defensive football. Washington was outweighed but not outgamed, and the score 40-0 gives no idea of the fierceness of the struggle. The next Saturday Vanderbilt U. came to St. Louis, and that game, played under ideal weather conditions and before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a Washington team play on its own grounds was pro- nounced by all to be one of the prettiest and most spirited games ever staged in St. Louis. The Commodores started with a rush and regis- tered 23 points before Washington got over its stage fright and settled down. The second half the W. U. boys played the Southerners to the finish and held them to the final score 28-0. The long trip to New Orleans followed. Instead of the usual snow storm the team ran into sweltering weather. The thermometer on the day of the Tulane U. game registered 90 degrees. Again Washington was greatly outweighed and Tulane with the aid of the terrible heat got away with the game 11-0. Of the individual players Capt. Beck at tackle played a steady and hard game—he enjoys the enviable record of having played in every game Washington played during his entire four years as a student. Rodenberg at the other tackle position was the star of the season. These two men will leave holes in the line that will be hard to fill. At ends Elliott, Jacobs, Maddox, Hagler and Castlen all played good, consistent football. The guards, Luckey, Harting, Glasgow and Perrings, all made good. They should all improve greatly next year. Hagin at center was the 'find" of the year. He will have a great year next season. At quarter Ailworth also played his last year. His playing, with few ex- ceptions, was excellent, especially his punts, not one being blocked dur- ing the entire season. Goldsmith, the other quarter, also ran the team in fine style. Morton at half was one of the best ground gainers on the team. He should make a star in 1909. Bouton at fullback was one of the hardest workers on the team and he, with Menges, who showed great promise in 1908, should make good with a vengeance in 1909.
145 Merrill Smith and Pitzman both played exceptionally good football but unfortunately both were forced to give up the game on account of the pressure of their studies. Grace was injured in the second game, and Washington was thus deprived of a valuable man. Last but not least halfback Dorsey Hager, captain-elect for 1909, proved himself to be one of the greatest players in this section. Although weighing only 128 pounds, he could always be relied upon. His playing in the Milliken and Tulane games was sensational. He should make an exceptionally good captain. The one, however, to whom most credit for Washington's success is due is Coach Francis Cayou. In him W. U. has at last got a real coach. He instilled into the men that fighting spirit and enthusiasm which more than offset their shortcomings in the matter of avoirdupois. Taking a practically green squad, he developed one of the best teams that has ever represented the University. With the remainder of this year's squad and a crack Freshman team to pick from, and with Cayou as coach, I see nothing but success for the season of 1909. W. C. HENGER.

M Review of the Season. The baseball season of igoS was highly successful. Owing to the inclement weather, our boys lined up against the hustling Knox College team without having had any preliminary games. Only the day before, Knox had held the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 score, so that it was not surprising that they should carry off a 3-2 victory. The loss of the Knox game put our boys on edge, and it was with a ferocious appetite that they pounced on the Missouri Tiger. The strong McKinley High team, which subsequently captured the I. S. L. pennant had given our boys a good work out, so that the two Missouri games found our team in good shape, and they proceeded to even up matters for the past football season. Gunby, the Missouri pitcher, was subjected to a terrific bombardment and gave way to Graves. The first inning netted our team seven runs, and with J. Hardaway on the mound, 'this alone would have been sufficient. Six more runs were added leaving 13 to 3 against Missouri. The second game proved more interesting. Gunby was again on the mound for Missouri and pitched an exceedingly good game, con- sidering his treatment of the previous day. But Washington was not to be denied, and backed up George Menges with some excellent play.. M. Hardaway scored the winning run in the ninth. Illinois College was next played a series of two games. Owing to having only J. Hardaway eligible to pitch, the coach was com- pelled to try some one else in one of these games. Zahorsky who had been playing short was asked to go to the pitcher's box, but was in no shape to pitch and Illinois ran up six runs in the first inning. "Zu" went back to short and proved a large factor in helping win back the game. Illinois could do nothing with J. Hardaway, and his two- bagger in the sixth scored the runs which put Washington in the lead. The final score was W. U. 11, Illinois 7. The second game found both pitchers again doing duty in the box. Washington captured this closely contested game by the score 5-2 and the victories were all the more appreciated when we were later informed by the Illinois College authorities, that their pitcher Maddox was a "Three I" league box artist. One of the pleasant features of the season was the game at the Country Club grounds. The Country Club members are always ex-
150 ceedingly hospitable, and even though the arms and joints of those old college stars had not unlimbered, the game was enjoyed by all that took the trip. Amby Robinson pitched a fine game, giving only four hits, and batting out four himself. Arthur Wear and George Menges each secured home runs. Score—W. U. 16—Country Club 2. Kansas was scheduled for two games. A downpour prevented the first, and the second was played on a sloppy field between showers. This was a very unsatisfactory game, and not much discredit in being beaten 5-2. Shurtleff proved easy, Washington taking the game by-the score of 9-4. The home season was closed by a well earned victory over the University of Nebraska team the score of 8-6. This was one of the few games played in suitable weather, and the showing made by the team seemed to augur well for a successful trip. Aided by several close decisions, Missouri won what looked like a Washington game, in the first contest at Columbia. Score 6-4. In the second, Missouri had their batting clothes on, and earned their 8-7 victory, thus evening up the series 2-2. Missouri was particularly fortunate in dropping their flies just over the short centre field fence, and M. Hardaway was continually up against it. The Kansas games at Lawrence were both hotly contested. By a pretty exhibition of baseball, with Amby Robinson in the box, we took the first game 3-2. The second was a heart breaker. Our team leading until the ninth, when a wild toss gave K. U. the game and series score 4-5. This year we lose Earl Morgan, whose left-field "sewer'' fielding, has set the standard during the past years. Cy has always hustled hard for the success of the team and we will miss him as the next season rolls around. This season closes the career of Spencer Thomas as a Washington University athlete. Spence certainly wound up in a blaze of glory, as his playing this year was the best of his four years at Washington. It will be a long while before we have anyone to play first base as only "Tommy" could, and his name will always be associated with Washing- ton University history. At the close of the season George Menges was unanimously elected to the captaincy of the '09 team. PIERRE C. GRACE, Manager.

The track season of igo8 was in many ways the most successful one experienced by Washington for some time. The only disappointment was the calling off of the Missouri-Washington meet by Missouri at the last minute. The athletic association provided a special assistant coach for track athletics, and it certainly helped the men a great deal. Each man got individual attention from Dr. Smith and was thus able to get into better form and also took more interest in his work. Last year the first meet of the Missouri Valley Conference was held at Kansas City. All the members of the league had teams entered and the meet was a great success despite the unfavorable weather. It 155 poured down just before the meet began and most of the events were run off in the rain. The track was of mud and not cinders, and this made it very hard for the men, and naturally the time was slower than it would have been on a dry cinder track. Grover made the best show- ing for Washington and his remarkable race with Branham of Missouri in the ioo yard dash was the feature of the meet. Jack fought every inch of the way and it looked like a dead heat from the grand stand, but Branham got the decision. In the next event, the 220 yard dash, Grover got the best of Branham and all the others entered. Captain Ed. Mitchell tied for first place in the high jump and Challis tied for second in the pole vault. Washington, with only six men entered, got fourth place, and this certainly was a good showing, considering the other teams consisted of from twelve to twenty-five men. This was Jack Grover's last appearance under the Myrtle and Maroon colors. He was for three years our main reliance in the sprints, was captain of the team in 1907 and holds the University record for the 220 yard dash, made in the 1908 field day. In the first meet of the season Washington had hard luck. It was early in the season and having had little indoor training we just suc- ceeded in tying Rolla for first place, but lost the trophy on the toss-up. Our Freshman team was entered in this meet and made a very credit- able showing. It deprived Rolla of a good many points, especially in the weights, and thus helped the Varsity which was not represented in these events. Washington has always been weak in the weight events and last year was no exception, there being not a single weight man on the team. The Freshmen on the contrary were well represented in the weights, and these men should greatly strengthen our team this year. L. A. WEHRLE, Track Manager.

The first game showed something of the strength of the team, when Southern Illinois State Normal was defeated by a score of 94-15. Then followed two games with Missouri, which resulted in two more decided victories for Washington. The School of Mines, Missouri State Normal, and Kansas went down to defeat before our powerful team. But at this point came the mid-year exams, and with them, the breaking of the spell. For Amby Robinson, center, and the best center Washington ever knew, was out of the game for the rest of the season. With Amby gone, the winning streak stopped, and the remainder of the season was the very opposite of what the first half had been. We lost a game to Kansas, went to Columbia only to be defeated twice at the hands of our old rival, and received two more defeats at Lawrence, Kansas. While the season ended with great disappointment for all of us who had expected a winning team from start to finish, still we knew that Washington had the best team she ever had before, and it was only the misfortune following the mid-year exams which kept us from hav- ing a complete season of victories. Skaer and Robinson were easily the stars of the season, but every man on the team showed the true fighting spirit, and deserve all the credit we can accord them. 162 The Tennis Season—1908.

Missouri University at St. Louis May 30. 163 iU Review of the Season. HE 1908 Tennis Season was the most successful yet. The schedule this year, instead of being confined to a dual match with Missouri U., included three intercollegiate meets: two with Illinois University, one at Champaign, 111., the other at Saint Louis, Mo., and one with Missouri University at Columbia, Mo. In all the meets Washington U. was victorious and finished the sea- son with a clean record: three victories and no defeats. The best three out of five matches—three singles and two doubles—decided each meet. This gives each man a chance to show his ability and also shows the team's strength as' a whole. Our first meet was with Illinois University on May 1st, at Cham- paign, 111. It resulted in victory for Washington U. In the singles matches: M. N. Smith (W) defeated Washburn (I) in straight sets, score, 6-1, 6-4; L. Wehrle (W) lost to Roth (I), score, 6-8, 6-4, 6-3; and Adkins (W) won from Muzzleman (I), score, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. In the doubles Smith and Adkins (W) defeated Washburn and Alexander (I), score, 6-1, 6-4. The meet was decided without having to play the otherwise necessary fifth match—a doubles contest. Washington met Illinois again at Saint Louis. In the singles matches: Smith (W) won from Roth (I) in straight sets, score, 6-2, 6-3; Washburn (I) defeated Wehrle (W) in straight sets, score, 6-4, 6-4; and Adkins (W) defeated Muzzleman (I), score, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. In the doubles match Wehrle and Smith (W) defeated Alexander and Washburn (I) in straight sets, score, 6-2, 6-2. This meet was also decided in Washington's favor without having to play the fifth match. With two victories to Washington's credit, the team then went to Colum- bia, Mo., to meet Missouri University on May 30th. In the singles matches: Adkins (W) defeated Lee (M) in straight sets, score, 6-3, 6-4; Ristine (M) de- feated Wehrle (W), score. 6-8, 6-1, 6-1; and Smith (W) lost to Bodeman (M), score, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. In the first doubles match Wehrle and Smith (W) defeated Lee and Templeman (M) in straight sets, score, 6-1, 6-4. At this stage of the game the honors were shared equally by both Universities. It was the fifth match that showed the strongest team. And in the final tilt Smith and Adkins (W) won rather handily from Ristine and Bodeman (M) in three straight sets, score, 6-1, 6-1, and 8-6. Washington U. had now won her third and last meet of the season. The Varsity tennis tournament was won this year by E. C. Adkins. The inter-class tennis tourney was successfully completed this year before the summer vacation. The 1909 class was victorious. L. Wehrle, C. Gold- smith, and Capt. E. C. Adkins played on the winning Junior team. Wehrle handled the singles successfully while Adkins and Goldsmith took care of the doubles. ELMER C.
