The new century dawned, and the Kansas State Agricultural College football team again sported a new coach in the person of a two-time letterwinner at Kansas. Like his predecessor, Albert Hansen, Fay Moulton was hired immediately after graduating from college, and set about the task of trying to make football work in Manhattan.
It didn’t.
The season started well enough, with an 11-5 win at Fairmount College, which you now know as Wichita State. But then a disastrous three-game stretch saw the Aggies once again fail to score a single point. It started on the road four days later at Kansas State Teacher’s College in Emporia, a 28-0 loss.
