Stanford Athletics: Return of Sports - 1919

October 30, 2019 In this program, Deputy Director of Athletics Ray Purpur takes us through the important history of Stanford athletics after the Great World War. Stanford University dropped football amidst the national football crisis of 1905 and the game did not return to the Farm until 1919, following World War I and the flu outbreak of 1918. Much had changed about football since then. The first student body team to compete after the war was varsity rugby, followed by other sports including basketball, baseball, rowing, and track and field. Although women’s sports were also hampered by the influenza epidemic, women’s tennis, field hockey, basketball, swimming, and fencing also soon returned to Stanford.
