Competitive Athletics began
in 1889 when the University of Washington played rugby against a team of
Seattle all-stars (Gates, p. 44). The football team of 1893
shows the formidable group of players, who look ready to take on
any opposition. The playing field was sometimes so rough and
muddy that visiting teams refused to play on it. It was a rough
and dangerous sport, but by 1899 a spirit of success prevailed
and even the girls shared the excitement. Picture taken from "
