Poor unfortunate undergraduates.
Good call on sport though. I do know some former scholarship hockey players from that area. Also the following from Chaosium’s Miskatonic U book:
“In loose order of popularity the varsity sports are football, ice hockey, crew, basketball, baseball, gymnastics, swimming and diving, track and field, and boxing.”
What, no tentacle wrestling?
I was looking up universities in the area and seeing the sort of thing they did. This may be considered excessive research, if you believe that such a phrase can ever be valid.
Excessive research? Perish the thought.
Interestingly further down the same page MU contains the following:
“The University prohibits wrestling as a team sport for reasons of propriety, though this chafes the athletic department.”
As this is a default 1920s book I think we can expect that Fighting Cephalopod boosters will have supported at least a token wrestling and judo effort by the arrival of “Good Ol’ Guts” on campus.
