The Story of the
MAAC
Feb 24, 1891, at Columbia Hall in
Portland, 150 men met and discussed the popularity of
the Portland Football (soccer) and Cricket Club.
"The 26" insisted that anyone joining the organization
pay a $10 initiation fee while others did not.
With that disagreement, "The 26" drafted articles of
incorporation, filed them in Salem and on Feb 26 the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club was born.
Football, the newer version born
from rugby was the impetus for forming the MAAC.
The first members of the football team known as "The 26"
were: E.P. Dosch, Arthur B. McAlpin, C. Lewis, Manager
T.S. Brooke, W.H. Chapin, W. Lipman, R. Green, W.A.
Montgomery, J. Gavin, Jack Savage, R.L. Glisan, W.A.
Holt, H. Fiske, W.L. Kendall, A.M. Ellsworth, C.E.
McDonnell, and M. Brooke.
Jack Savage was considered a
"mountain" of a man standing 6'3" and weighing 215
pounds.
Billy Lasswell was the fastest 220
& 440 man in the Northwest and left the MAAC for the
famed Copper Kings of Butte, Montana where he died in
1900.
Joseph Harker Smith was regionally
famed as "The Only Joe" because of his remarkable
ability to deliver the goods. He played baseball,
football, both rugby and intercollegiate, was
football captain, ran track and was an expert billiards
player and bowler. Joe became coach for the 1896
season.
Arthur B. McAlpin, the man who
spearheaded the formation of the MAAC was voted the
first president in 1891, played football for the team
until he was 37, tennis into his 80's and was one of the
first 3 climbers to ascend Mount Hood. His 90th
birthday was celebrated throughout the city of
Portland. He died 6 months later. In 1991 an
award was named for McAlpin for extraordinary service
and leadership.
The football team would play other
club teams, high schools, and colleges including the
upstart Oregon Ag College (Oregon State) and Stanford,
as well as numerous military teams throughout it's
history.
Many football players for the MAAC
would go on to compete in Olympic Games as well as set
world records in various events like wrestling,
swimming, and track and field.
Dec 21, 1895 - in the throes of
controversy, the M's decided not to travel to play
Seattle who was being accused of using professionally
paid players and "buying" an official from the USS
Philadelphia in a victory over Port Townsend, the win
against Port Townsend eliminated them from playing
Multnomah for the championship on Christmas Day which
the Townsends eventually won 6-0.
1902 MAAC
Team
400 students and townspeople boarded
the noon train from Eugene to Portland for the
Thanksgiving Day match up between the MAAC and the
University of Oregon. This was the largest crowd
to that date traveling to Portland.
George W. McMillian, longtime
football king in Portland was elected President in
1907.
1907 Players: Carlson (C),
Pilkington (C), Stirling (G), McMicken (G), Horan (G),
Walker (T), Pratt (T), Smith (E), Dowling (E), Alexander
(QB), Stott (QB), G. Alexander (HB), Lonergan (HB),
Austin (FB)
1909 sees J.A. Knudson elected
captain of the football team in July replacing E.P.
Scott who captained the team the during the '07 &
'08 seasons.
1910: Gordon Moores, one of the
greatest ends the University of Oregon ever produced is
elected captain of the team. Quarterback Jack
Latourette, the 1909 captain retired.
The 1912 team was believed to be the
greatest ever to represent the MAAC. It was then
that the board decided to stop playing the Seattle AC
and concentrate on trying to get big midwestern teams to
come out in an effort to fill the stadium, something the
games with Seattle were no longer doing. Ted
Ludlam and Earl "Rat" Rinehart announced their
retirement following the 1913 New Years Day
game.
E.P. Stott attempted to schedule a
game with Notre Dame University in 1913 but could not
get support from the Spokane AC. Those trips for
Notre Dame were only feasible if they could play
multiple games during the long trip west.
Captain Walter Keck kicked two field
goals to boost the MAAC to a 6-0 victory over Oregon Ag
College. (Oregon State). The game was plagued by
penalties for roughness and the college team had 2
players disqualified and Multnomah one.
The final curtain was drawn in 1926
when interest and participation had started to
slip. Blow outs to Oregon Agricultural College and
Gonzaga forced the hand of Hal. H. Rasch who announced
on Oct 20 that the team would disband and cancel games
with West Seattle and the Olympic Club of San
Francisco. |
