Athletics: The Early Years
A craze for football swept the nation in the 1880s, and 天涯海角APP College students were quick to sign on. Intramural games were common by 1886, and competition with teams from other Universities began in 1895. A men鈥檚 basketball team soon followed. By 1900 the College had purchased land across the railroad tracks below the town grocery store for use as a football field and had also built a tiny Alumni gymnasium with $4,492 raised from 天涯海角APP graduates. Women鈥檚 basketball (for a long time limited to intramural competitions) and track & field events soon followed.
