Last week I gave a quick overview of Varsity sports in 1916, and next week I will look at Women's Sports a century ago. This week is Intermurals week!
Intermurals in 1916 doesn't refer to the same kind of intermurals in 2016. Distinguishing a difference between some Intermural sports and Varsity sports seems impossible. Sports such as Soccer, Gymnastics, Swimming, and Wrestling all competed against other schools both in Minnesota and around the Midwest. Other sports such as Baseball and Hockey created teams based on the department of the students studies. All intermural sports had fans, and betting associated with them.
