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, A.B. McAlpin, C. Lewis, Manager T.S. Brooke, W.H. Chapin, W. Lipman, R. Green, W.A. Montgomery, J. Gavin, J. Savage, R.L. Glisan, W.A. Holt, H. Fiske, W.L. Kendall, A.M. Ellsworth, C.E. McDonnell, and M. Brooke.

 

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.
