 It’s clean athletics our team stands for, and we’re proud of them though Central beat us 12 to 6; if they had played clean ball we’d have won.  Webb’s heart was broken and he left the field crying.  Webb and Shanklin and Gaiser and Threlkeld were hurt.  Oh, how it hurts to have Central beat us.  Never mind, there’ll be another year.

"Fun? Well Rather" The Diary of Virginia Clay McClure - part of the Sesquicentennial Stories Series



November 12, 1910



St. Louis beat us 9 to 0, but we’re proud of our team.  They called the team “Little Kentucky Colonels” and complimented them highly.  



Fun? Well, rather. I had John’s suit and it fit fine.  Lydia got me a hat.  “Peck” said I looked like “Puf”! Well, that’s alright.  I never had such a good time in my life.  Addie was an awfully good-looking boy.  Marion Johnson looked like Newt Duff.  Cornelia server was a grand looking fellow.  Everybody had a splendiferous time.  And O! You fixtures in the back yard Sunday morning! Did Mrs. Wallis get angry?  Did the Kappa Sig. boys peek out the windows?  Did we take some cute pictures? Well, rather!


 “We’ve all got it in us!”

Girls got to go to the Southern depot to see the team off for St. Louis.  Sophomores took the team and the Sophomore girls to the depot in an auto-wagon, and the girl came back in it.  Came through Main St. singing and yelling.  Had an awful good time.
