From The Executive Director: Davies Bisset ’85 Alumni, Parents and Friends: Many of you know that President Paxson P ’19 announced the University’s most comprehensive and aspirational capital campaign in Brown’s history. Brown will seek to raise a minimum of $3 Billion to build on Brown’s excellence. Athletics’ will Davies Bisset ’85 with Chris Berman ’77, LHD ’07 hon., P’08, P’09 have a minimum goal of $100M to enhance at a Brown Football tailgate at Yale this fall. our facilities, build endowment and to provide more robust operating support to our varsity teams, club, intramural and recreation programs. We hope to raise much more!

Facility projects are moving ahead --- Baseball and Softball will have brand new turf fields by the time students return in the fall; Pizzitola locker rooms for Volleyball, Wrestling, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball will be renovated this summer. We are also pushing ahead on fundraising for the OMAC/Football renovation project for new locker rooms, coaches’ offices and training room. We are in the final stages of planning the transformation of the Marston Boathouse for our championship crews. Work is underway shortly to add a new indoor Golf facility and we’ll break ground shortly on the new Brown Sailing Center. Many good things happening! Thank you to the amazing donors behind these projects.

On the endowment front --- more good news to report. Generous donors have recently endowed two head coaching chairs, Men’s Basketball and Wrestling, each with $1M gifts. The donors behind Women’s Crew are closing in on their goal of $1M to endow the Head Coaching Chair.

A few special notes: Best wishes to long time coach Head Coach Phil Pincince P’06 who retired this fall and will be honored for his 39 years of service to Brown with a special event on April 16th. He is a man of great character and Brunonian spirit. Check our website for more information for details on the celebration.

Congrats to Anders Weiss ’15 (Rowing) and Louisa Chafee ’14 (Sailing)! These two young alumni are heading to the summer Olympics! What an honor for these athletes and what an honor for Brown!

A final note about the new endowment for Wrestling. This is Brown spirit at its finest. The donor behind the $1M gift is anonymous and but wanted to name the endowment in honor of Marvin Wilenzik ’56, P’89, P’91, P’96. Marvin’s impact on Brown Wrestling --- and on all of Brown Athletics --- is legendary. Decades of Brown alumni credit “Marv” with introducing them to Brown! This endowment is an awesome tribute to a tremendous Brown man!

Hope you enjoy this issue of the magazine and I hope to see you in the stands this spring.

Until then, I remain,

Steps Toward Success

By Noah Shulman '16, a Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations Concentrator and a second baseman for the Bears.

I

f you take a look at the successful teams in professional sports, there is a common theme. The team may not consist of the highest paid players or all-stars, but there is a culture. This can come through a mantra or motto that the team believes, or it could just be an attitude. This culture is one that every individual lives by, breathes by, works by, and ultimately plays by.

Noah Shulman ’16 led the Bears in 2015 with seven home runs and 28 RBI. He finished theyear with a eight multi-RBI games.

For Brown Baseball, there has always been a year to year change in culture. With that comes a lack of identity as a program. With the guys we have here now, we’re ready to change the norm. We feel a responsibility to represent all of the amazing guys that have come through this program and create a sense of pride for Brown Baseball.

In order to establish this identity, it is imperative that each one of our guys is willing to input and commit to formulating a plan that fits us as a group. Through reading articles written by some of the top coaches in professional sports, we were able to pinpoint some of the areas we wanted to focus on when trying to understand who we are as a group.

We are trying to become more process-oriented. While choosing goals, we have decided to set benchmarks that will lead up to the big picture. It is easy for a team to go into a year saying, our goal is to win an Ivy League Championship. But what do you need to do throughout the year to achieve this ultimate goal? It is important to create short term goals to make sure everyone is pulling in the right direction each and every day. To go with this, it is important that each guy is being held responsible for their actions.

There is no hierarchy divide amongst our team. Regardless of experience, what a freshman says is just as important as what a senior says. Along with this comes respect. Following your brother will come as a result of respecting what he says and his actions. Leading by example is one of our key focuses. It is important that we trust each other and that begins with seeing the other guy do the right thing.

We have also begun to build other aspects of our program off the field. In order to learn responsibility on the field, it must start with what we do off the field. We have started a community service campaign where we plan to partake in a different event each month. We consistently attend Vartan Gregorian School to interact with and teach Providence kids. Also, we have participated in Cell Phones for Soldiers. Although this may not have a direct impact on how we compete on the field, these are the little things that we believe will propel the program.

The Alumni Mentor Program has allowed current players to connect with former players. This is building the pride of Brown Baseball. It is allowing the current players to play for more than just the guys that are here right now. Every guy that has ever put on a Brown Baseball uniform wants one thing; and that is to win.

I can proudly state that our players and coaches are taking the steps in the right direction. We are moving toward continued winning seasons on College Hill.

“Noah's journey to leadership on our team has been very unique, and the collaboration with his teammates has been paramount to our program's identity taking shape. Culture, beyond talent or ability, has the greatest influence on organizational success and that realization will have a lasting impact on Brown Baseball."

LEADING YOUR PEERS

The Little Guy Who Shouts Stuff

By Neil McKenzie ’17, a history concentrator and a coxswain for the Brown varsity eight.

It is an intimidating experience walking into Marston Boathouse for the first time freshman year. The walls are lined with pictures of Ivy League and national championship-winning crews stretching back decades, and there is a clear sense of the work ethic and standards of excellence that are expected.

Rising to that level is difficult for anybody, but it’s especially challenging for an incoming coxswain.

When I walked through the door that first time, I felt lucky to be there. The coaches had brought me to Brown because they believed in me, even though I do not have the physical stature of a rower, nor do I push myself in the same way. Because of this, it can be tough to prove yourself and your worth. It was not uncommon in the first few months of school to explain to people that whilst I was on the crew team, I was “the little guy who shouts stuff.”

Leading a group of men is no easy task, but Neil McKenzie "17 has it all figured out for Brown Crew.

"A coxswain needs to summon inspiration and energy during the depths of the darkest winter workout..."

A great coxswain needs to be able to understand their environment, and understand the people around them.

They have a unique perspective in sports as a part of the team, but also a conduit between the team and its coaches. They need to be able to filter instructions Neil McKenzie ’17 is the vocal leader for Brown's Varsity Eight. from the coaches, as well as control the outputs of eight athletes acting at the peak of their physical capabilities. They need to summon inspiration and energy during the depths of the darkest winter workout, whilst also keeping their teammates calm and grounded even during the excitement and anticipation of a national championship final. But in many ways, the most challenging balance is between being able to work as a cog within an incredibly driven and accomplished group of peers, whilst also being able to assert clear authority over that same group of friends at any moment.

For me, this balancing act most comes into its own on race day. Rowers are taught to internalize themselves during a race: to focus on their own individual stroke, rather than get caught up in whatever the team next to them is doing. But I fill my head with plans and permutations, channeling the efforts of the crew down a single path depending on the situation of the race itself.

The most challenging aspect of this is knowing when to make the decisive move, and when to hold back. Too soon, and the rower’s technique can fall apart, too late and the opposition can gain an unassailable lead. It is this vital moment where I feel the sense of expectation most. I have practiced and observed and “What sets Neil apart is his exuberance and visualized the moment where I can unleash not just the efforts of the enthusiasm for racing. He loves to compete and eight friends in front of me, but the efforts of the entire team that his enjoyment is felt by the athletes around him. works so hard every day as one unit for nine months. I can unleash the power that can only be summoned from the Brown Crew culture He still has two spring seasons ahead of him that demands unparalleled excellence from the first day you walk in and I expect he will continue to build on his the door. successes at the Marston Boathouse.

20TH ANNIVERSARY OF BROWN EQUESTRIAN Brown University Sports Foundation

We've Come A Long Way in a Short Time!

By Heather McCrea ’02, M.D., Ph.D., an alumna of Brown Equestrian, the Vice President of the Friends of Brown Equestrian, and a member of the Sports Foundation Board of Directors.

The equestrian team became a varsity sport at Brown in the fall of 1996. For those of us who were four-year varsity riders and graduated in 2002, we began riding for the team in the fall of 1998. During our four years, the team went through an amazing transformation. Our freshman year, we had a mix of riders on the team with varying goals – some riders had signed up for the team in the club days when the team was just for fun, and others hoped the team would be competitive. We had a ton of fun that year, but for most of the 1998-1999 season (our freshman year), second place at a show was a big deal.

Then, we won our last show of the year, and the team kept going from there. Sophomore year (1999-2000), we didn’t just win one show, we won the majority of our shows, and we won the region for the first time. Then junior and senior year, we won the region both years and qualified for Nationals. Our team came in fifth in the Nation in 2001 and third in the nation in 2002. We had gone from a team that rarely won, to a team that was used to winning every weekend and expected to be among the top contenders at Nationals. In addition to 2001 and 2002, the team has qualified for Nationals in 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2012. Until recently, Brown was the only Ivy League team to ever qualify for Nationals, and it is still by far the most successful Ivy League equestrian program. The team has also consistently helped attract some of the best riders in the country to Brown. There is one goal we are still hoping to achieve - we are still looking for a first in the Nation season. This year’s team is currently in second place in the region heading into the spring season, but very few points separate them from moving into the lead, so hopefully, this is the year!

In addition to the fun of winning, the equestrian team has been an amazing experience because of the camaraderie. Horseback riding is typically an individual sport. The horse and rider are a team, but you compete against your friends in the sport. Intercollegiate riding is different since each rider’s points count toward the team total and riders for the team can also block other schools’ riders from gaining points. As a result, the Brown Equestrian team is often the first time that riders have been able to participate as a team. The friendships and memories we made as a team last to this day, and we are all proud of the legacy of Brown Equestrian.

Michaela Scanlon has been the coach of the equestrian team for the Equestrian Alumnae with "Mama Bear" Marcia Hoffer entire 20-year history of the program! She helped transform the team ’71, P'08 (front row, center) and Head Coach Michaela into the powerhouse that it has become, and continues to diligently Scanlon (front row, right) at the 10th Anniversary of coach the team each year. In contrast to most sports where the coach Brown Equestrian. can combine practices for all players, only a few riders can practice in the ring at a time and must be grouped in accordance with similar skill level.

As a result, Michaela has to find time to accommodate 30 different riders for multiple practices a week and ends up spending all day, every day coaching. She does this without any assistant coaches to help share in the work, and her commitment to the team is incredible. In addition, she has always been supportive and accommodating of her riders’ academic schedules. As a result, her riders have been able to make the most of their Brown Heather McCrea is currently a chief resident in education. Graduate school is the norm for the equestrian Neurosurgery at the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill team after Brown, and our alums include many successful doctors, lawyers, business women, professors, etc.

Cornell Medical Center and Memorial Sloan-Kettering

Cancer Center in New York City. Heather is also the co-president of her alumni class and was previously the cochair of the Young Athletic Alumni Council.

It would be amazing if in this, the 20th anniversary of the team, we could finally secure funds to create an endowed coaching chair for her and Brown Equestrian.

I'll Cherish the Laughter

By Alli Rolandelli ’16, a health and human biology concentrator, and a captain for the Brown women's ice hockey team.

I

n the midst of my last season of collegiate athletics, I’m often asked to reminisce on my fondest hockey memories. Flash backs of my first collegiate goal or completing the infamous shuttle run test for the last time are things that come to mind. But what resonates most from my four years as a Brown Bear is the impact I have been able to have on the younger community.

Beginning freshman year, the highlight of my week has been visiting Ms. Coudo’s first grade classroom at Vartan Gregorian Elementary School. Initially, when I first met these children, my goal was to motivate and inspire them through mentorship. What I have come to notice is that this is exactly what these children have done for me.

After volunteering here for the last four years, I have realized I look forward to seeing the children just as they look forward to seeing me. Watching their faces light up every Thursday when the ‘Brown Bears’ have arrived fueled me to extend my impact further into the community.

Alli Rolandelli ’16 (left) has partnered with the Love Your Melon Foundation to help improve the lives of children battling cancer.

Motivated by the contagious energy from these first graders, I started a Love Your Melon Crew at Brown University. Love Your Melon is an apparel brand that gives a hat to every child battling cancer in America, funds childhood cancer research initiatives, and provides immediate support for children and their families. The most rewarding aspect of being apart of Love Your Melon is when we get to deliver hats to the children at local hospitals while they are receiving treatment. Dressing up as their favorite superhero characters, delivering cozy hats, and sharing stories and laughter is worth the effort a thousand times over. More specifically, a memory I will always treasure is watching the energy and excitement grow in the children’s eyes. Upon our arrival at the hospital, we were asked to stay quiet to ensure a peaceful environment, but there was no predicting the excitement we had waiting in the first room around the corner. A sweet seven year old girl, tired and exhausted from her hospital stay, came to life as her favorite superheroes walked in the door. Her smile warmed the room with her newly founded energy. Despite the tangles of IVs coming from her arms, she was determined to show off her extraordinary superhero capabilities by doing splits on her bed. Her smile, laughter, and excitement embody the importance and meaning of our community involvement.

Student athletes have the ability to reach beyond the spectrum of college athletics. We are given the platform to help the younger community grow. Since our youth will be defining the future, college athletes have a responsibility to encourage growth and development. Through Brown Athletics, I was provided with the perfect avenue to reach out to this community, and for this I am forever grateful. The hearts that I have touched have touched mine tremendously. Looking back on my last four years, Brown Athletics has provided me with so many amazing memories but those that I will cherish the most are the ones that were spent in the community engulfed in the laughter and excitement only a child can exude.

“I have been part of higher education for the past twenty-five years and have worked with thousands of Ivy League Student-Athletes throughout that time. I can confidently state that Alli Rolandelli is the most caring, loving and dedicated of those student-athletes. She is the greatest teammate that I have ever come across in my forty-eight years"

- Head Coach Bob Kenneally ’90

Brown University Sports Foundation

Team International Travel: Culture, Competition and Camaraderie International travel at Brown has been a staple of the student-athlete experience. This past year, several teams crossed the Atlantic for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

In the past year, there have been major announcements that have fueled the fire for the excitement surrounding Brown Athletics. The presidential approval (pending the necessary funding) this past summer of major facility renovations/construction projects was the first piece of kindling, which included the Baseball/Softball stadiums, a squash facility, Marston Boathouse, an indoor golf facility, and massive renovations to the OMAC. The fire burned brighter with the late-October unveiling of BrownTogether, the largest campaign in Brown University history. These facility projects will fill a substantial piece of that multi-billion dollar pie when all is said and done.

16599 Text.CC15.indd 18

Throughout that time, our student-athletes have been traveling the world experiencing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities with their respective athletic programs. In all, eight teams took flight to visit seven countries, countless historical monuments, and more than their fair share of local shops, restaurants and museums. For some, these adventures, and that’s what they are – adventures, are life changing and possibly a one-off opportunity to visit a country thousands of miles away from home. It’s the chance to experience life beyond anything that Rhode Island, the West Coast or the Bible Belt can offer.

International travel is more than just a chance for our student-athletes to trek the cliffs of Ballycastle, Northern Ireland, or attempt to support the Leaning Tower of Pisa, although that’s often the piece remembered 20 years later and what’s captured on camera for eternity. For coaches, these trips allow for invaluable training sessions beyond the normal allowance from the NCAA

and the Ivy League. Teams that take a summer international training trip arrive two weeks early to campus and practice continually during that time (Incoming freshman are not allowed to take international training trips). Each trip includes rigorous training in a foreign environment, and for those teams that travel south during the winter, it’s a chance for full training sessions in tropical conditions rather than small sessions inside the OMAC or Pizzitola Center, shielded from the harsh Providence winter.

Beyond the training sessions, our student-athletes experience competition on an international stage; this past summer, Phil Pincince P’06 led women’s soccer in exhibitions in Italy, Spain, and France against top international club teams; the men’s ice hockey team competed in the inaugural Friendship Four tournament in Belfast against national power UMass Lowell and ECAC rival Colgate; Mike Martin ’04 and men’s basketball battled several Italian club teams this August.

:

Both the men's and women's crew programs have been regulars at the Henley Royal Regatta in London. As members of the IRA, rather than the NCAA, men's crew is not bound by the NCAA's once-in-four-years allowance for international travel.

(Inset) Davies Bisset ’85 with Finn Meeks ’17 in the brown Henley jacket worn only by those who've competed at the famed races.

In terms of competition and prestige, the crown jewel of these international training trips is the Henley Regattas on the Thames River in London, which takes place in June following the IRA (Men’s Crew) and NCAA (Women’s Crew) national championships.

Most international competitions are against local club powers and various semiprofessional opponents. The Henley Women’s Regatta and the Henley Royal Regatta draw the top competition in the rowing world and feature a knockout style competition with one-on-one races. In the rowing world, there are few competitions with more pomp and circumstance than the final on the Thames River.

These trips are not possible without the incredible generosity and support from our loyal Brown friends and family (side bar). In the next year, Pat Laughlin and Brown Men's Soccer will visit Argentina, and Kathy Flores and the Bold, Beautiful, Beasts of Brown Women's Rugby will venture to Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Men's crew stayed at home this past summer, but another trip to London is possible for this summer if Head Coach Paul Cooke '89 and the Bears are prepared to face the world's best competition.

Several programs currently benefit from the financial stability of an international travel endowment. These endowments give teams the freedom in their budget to plan for these trips years in advance.

• Squash Team Travel Endowment • Track and Field Endowed Travel Fund • Women's Tennis Team Travel Endowment • Richardson Family Travel Fund (M. Crew) • Zisson Family Travel Fund (M. Soccer) • Wan Family Travel Fund for Men's Golf - If you are interested in making a gift to support Brown Athletic Travel, please contact the Sports Foundation at sports_foundation@brown.edu or 401.863.1900.

As a club team not regulated by the NCAA, men's rugby has the freedom to take an international trip every year. The team traveled to the Bahamas in 2012 (left) and Ireland in 2013 (right). Each trip results in a new commemorative jersey for the students.

(Right) Fritz Pollard ’19 was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame on December 30.

verge of quitting, he received a Sunday dorm visit from assistant coach “Buck” Whittemore ’01 who told him he would have a chance to display his talent with the scrub team against Worcester Academy on Monday. Pollard impressed. According to one newspaper account he played a “star game" with "hard tackling and fast running.”

Bear Tracks: The View from the Archives

Improbable Journeys: Fritz Pollard and the 1915 Rose Bowl Team

By Peter Mackie ’59

Against a backdrop of war raging in Europe, Brown football practice began on September 8, 1915. By the start of classes, a squad of 80 was hard at work, and hopes were high, fueled by the previous season’s strong record which included a scoreless tie against mighty Harvard.

But no one could possibly have foreseen what was to unfold in this historic chapter of Brown athletics.

Among the newcomers was freshman Frederick Douglass “Fritz” Pollard ’19. That Pollard was even there was something of a miracle.

His odyssey from three sport star at Lane Tech in Chicago to regular student at Brown had taken two years, with stops at Northwestern, Brown (Special Student), Dartmouth, Harvard, Bates, and a high school in Springfield, MA where he finally qualified for admission to Brown. Most likely Coach Edward North "Robbie" Robinson 1896 did not realize what he had in Pollard. When Fritz reported to Marston Field House, there were no uniforms left. Athletic Director “Doc” Marvel 1894 intervened, and an ill-fitting collection of odds and ends and oversized cleats were issued. Pollard was then shunted off to practice kicking by himself.

In addition, as Brown's only black player, he had to deal with the overt racism of some teammates, who vacated the shower room when he entered and jumped off the trolley when it left Andrews Field for campus. After not drawing a game uniform for the opener against Rhode island State, Fritz Pollard slipped behind the lockers and wept openly. On the Coach Edward North Robinson 1896 on the steps of Marston Field House.

16599 Text.CC15.indd 30

The next step in the trial process was Coach Robinson's infamous "Bloody Wednesday" ritual, in which varsity hopefuls scrimmaged against the first team in an attempt to impress the coaches. On that day almost 600 students trekked to Andrews Field to view Pollard, who was a campus curiosity; most had never seen a black football player. What they witnessed was the final step in Fritz Pollard’s emergence as a varsity player. The game within the game was a personal duel between Pollard and John Butner ’18, an end from Atlanta. Three times Pollard eluded Butner’s grasp as he swept right end for touchdowns. With each failure to crush Pollard, Butner became more incensed, urging with choice racial epithets that Pollard be sent his way again. Scrub quarterback Tim Conroy ’19 obliged. Finally Butner approached “Robbie”, suggesting that Pollard should be accepted on the team.

Pollard dressed for the Trinity game (a scoreless tie), but did not see action. His first varsity game appearance was against Amherst, a 7-0 loss, in which he fumbled on his initial carry. Pollard rebounded with a 60-yard kickoff return after Amherst's lone touchdown, but Brown failed to capitalize. At this point the struggling Bruins stood at 1-1-1 on the season, with the most challenging portion of the schedule ahead.

From that point forward, Brown’s fortunes improved dramatically, as Fritz Pollard developed into a game-changer. It began with a 33-0 whitewashing of Williams, in which he scored three touchdowns and kicked two extra points against the Ephs. Syracuse lay ahead, Brown’s first “major” contest. The Orange had lost only to Princeton, and 8,000 fans jammed Andrews Field for the hard-fought contest. Trailing 6-0 in the third period, the Bruins recovered a fumble deep in Syracuse territory and after two long Pollard sweeps, it appeared that Brown would score, but his subsequent fumble ended the threat. Fritz blamed himself, even though the Herald marveled at his performance, stating that he “brought the stands to their feet with a Halfback Harold “Buzz” Andrews ’16, Captain of the 1915 Team.

wonderful exhibition of speed and agility.” “Robbie” later announced that someone had leaked Brown’s signals to Syracuse before the game, and he promptly closed practice sessions to everyone for the balance of the season.

After a 46-0 thrashing of Vermont, in which Pollard starred, the Bruins invaded the new Yale Bowl in search of their second-ever victory over the Eli. Fritz Pollard provided most of the offense, with several long runs in addition to his patented punt returns. Apparently his early solitary punting practice paid off, as his kicks constantly pinned Yale deep in its own territory. The game hung in the balance until Captain ‘Buzz Andrews ’16 drop-kicked a field goal in the third period. In the huddle, a discussion about who should attempt the kick resulted in Andrews being chosen, even though he had never attempted one. The twenty-two yarder was true, and a wild post-game celebration ensued at the Bowl and on campus.

A commemorative postcard appeared soon after “Buzz” Andrews’ game-winning field goal against Yale.

There is an interesting sidebar connected to the Yale contest, a game which vaulted Fritz Pollard into the national spotlight. A group of Yale African-American students were in attendance, sitting in the Brown cheering section because of the anticipated racist comments of the Yale faithful. Indeed, Pollard was serenaded with Bye-Bye Blackbird, and entered the stadium after the Brown squad via a separate entrance to avoid any kind of incident. According to William Ashby, one of the black Yale students, each time Pollard fielded a punt going at full speed, the Yale stands erupted in screams of “Catch that Nigger. Kill that Nigger.” On one return, two Yale defenders attempted to sandwich Pollard with flying tackles near the sideline. Ashby noted that Pollard foiled the plan by accelerating and as he neared the sideline “jumped off the field and landed straight up on the Yale bench.” The Yale players collided and had to be carted off the field. After the game, one of them found Pollard in the locker room, shook his hand, and called him “the best goddamn football player I ever saw.”

After a decisive 39-3 final game victory over the Carlisle Indians, Brown’s record was a modest 5-3-1, but thanks to the dogged determination of one Brown alumnus, the 1915 aggregation would live to play another day. Enter Amasa Chace ’09 of Los Angeles, who was on the Brown squad in his senior year. In early fall, he had learned that the Tournament of Roses Committee was contemplating replacing the

chariot races with a football game as the culmination of the annual event. Chace immediately presented Brown as the eastern candidate for the first annual Tournament of Roses football game. Brown was an unknown entity in the west, but the fact that they had defeated Yale was key. For good measure, Chace also threw in a fictitious win over Harvard, even though the game had yet to be played. He succeeded in securing a visit by a Committee representative who met with President Faunce, "Doc" Marvel and “Robbie". In a total serendipity, selection committee member and Cornell graduate Seward Simon, happened to be in New York to attend AAU meetings. The on-campus meeting with Simon occurred on the Tuesday after the Harvard game (a loss), and Brown was awarded the bid. There were teams with far better records, Syracuse being one, but the Bruins were deemed the best representative of eastern football. President Faunce promptly accepted the offer, and the team was given the opportunity to vote. The lone dissenter was Wallace Wade ’17, who had committed to a job over Christmas break to help with his college expenses. Interestingly, coach Wade would later take five of his teams from Duke and Alabama to the Rose Bowl.

Meanwhile, Amasa Chace, at the request of the Tournament Committee, was busy attending to details for the game as well as forming a Southern California Brown alumni group. In addition he recruited graduates of Brown’s peer colleges, teaching them Brown songs and cheers. Chace also chose Brown’s hotel and arranged for a live bear and pyrotechnics at the game.

The traveling party of 26 (21 players) left Union Station on December 22 for the historic trip. A special all-steel Pullman car was engaged, which carried a supply of Rhode Island drinking water. Dean Randall excused students from morning classes, and the entire student body snake-danced to the station to see their heroes off. Captain Andrews assured them that the team would bring home “a good long slice of Washington bacon."

The six-day trip was upbeat and memorable, as the players were feted by alumni and friends along the way. As soon as the Pullman left Providence, the heat was turned up and players stripped down to their underwear for a cross-country card game of Red Dog. Wally Wade was covering the trip for the Providence Journal, and offered his view of the players' activities: “Both morning and afternoon the boys spent considerable time plugging away on their books, not one mem-

ber of the squad having forgotten he is a student first and a football player second.” The team worked out at Northwestern in borrowed uniforms. According to “Doc” Marvel, the irrepressible Pollard put together the most colorful ensemble of all, decked out in “an outfit that included every color in the rainbow.” When they arrived at their hotel on December 27, the team was greeted by owner Walter Raymond, Harvard 1873 who was waving a Brown pennant and wearing a Crimson uniform in a gesture of eastern football unity.

Brown’s opponent, Washington State (not the University of Washington as was first assumed) was unbeaten and coached by “Lone Star” Dietz, who had played against the Bruins for the Carlisle Indians.

Dietz was a dapper dresser who ran practice in a silk top hat, Prince Albert cutaway coat, striped pants, yellow kid gloves , and a walking stick. He cagily predicted that Brown would “wipe the ground with us.” The Bruins were favored, largely on the assumption that eastern football was vastly superior to the western version. The players fell into the overconfidence trap, and "Robbie" expressed concern that all the dances, parties, and banquets had contributed to his team’s “lack of life and dash.” As Wally Wade would later recall, “We were one of the most confident teams ever to play in Pasadena. We took the whole trip as a lark.” Meanwhile Dietz had arranged for his players to act as extras in a Hollywood movie on football, for which each received $100. Washington State also arranged for filming of the entire scope of Rose Bowl activities and the game by Universal Pictures.

On New Years Day 1916 a freezing rain, the first in 28 years, put a damper on the Floral Parade. “Doc” Marvel was asked to judge the floats because he would soon be clear of Pasadena in case of controversy over the results. By game time there was steady wind-driven rain, limiting the Tournament Park crowd to 7,000. Murphy’s Law was in full swing, and everything that could go wrong did. Amasa Chace’s bear skyrocket fizzled, and the live bear he had engaged from Universal Pictures was too large to fit in the back seat of the touring car. On the mud-slicked field, Brown’s vaunted running attack was nullified, partly because Brown had neglected to bring mud cleats to sunny California. Coach Robinson had planned a passing attack against the heavier Cougars, who massed 10 men on the line of scrimmage to stop the diminutive Pollard, who at 155 pounds gained only 47 yards on 13 carries. Fritz expressed fear of drowning at the bottom of the tackling pile. His performance was assessed by

the Pasadena Star: “Pollard showed in flashes what he might have done had the footing been good. He showed great ability at dodging, shifting the ball and use of the straight arm. He was never stopped by the first man who tackled at him. Washington never trusted any two or three men to get him.” Although the Bruins threatened twice in the scoreless first half, in the second the dry-uniformed west-coasters displayed their overwhelming running power, led by Carl Dietz (no relation to "Lone Star”) resulting in a well-earned 14-0 victory. Each team received $5,000 from the Rose Bowl Committee, but the Washington State players cleaned up by betting their $100 movie pay on themselves. The Brown entourage returned to Providence on January 6, greeted by a small crowd. To a man they all agreed that it was "a ‘corking’ trip from start to finish."

In 1956 Brown and Washington State alumni "squared off" again at the fortieth anniversary of their historic Rose Bowl game.

The 1915 Brown football team made history, playing in the first annual Tournament of Roses game. Fritz Pollard and his mates returned to the Rose Bowl twice, as invited guests in 1956 and 1966, although they didn’t require a week to get there. Now, a century later, Frederick Douglass “Fritz” Pollard ’19 is being honored on December 30 in Pasadena as a member of the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame 2015 Induction Class. All Brunonians should feel proud of Fritz, the first African-American to play in the Rose Bowl. He and his teammates created a lasting Brown football legacy.
