1906 marked the first year that Mike Ahearn was in total control of the athletic program at KSAC. Unfortunately, it would be a couple of years before he found across-the-board success.
The football team took a small step back in one respect, only going 5-2 as compared to the 6-2 1905 campaign. But that was largely a result of dropping Saint Mary’s from the schedule and losing a game which, during this era, was generally a coin flip.
The season began with a pair of home games, both wins: a 35-0 rout of the College of Emporia and a close 10-5 contest with Haskell.
