Hoosier Beginnings tells the story of Indiana University athletics
from its founding in 1867 to the interwar period. Crammed full of
rare images and little-known anecdotes, it recounts how sport at IU
developed from its very first baseball team, made up mostly of
local Bloomington townsfolks, to the rich and powerful tradition
that is the "Hoosier" legacy. Hoosier Beginnings uncovers
fascinating stories that have been lost to time and showcases how
Indiana University athletics built its foundation as a pivotal team
in sports history. Learn about the fatal train collision that
nearly stopped IU athletics in its tracks; IU's first African
American football player; the infamous Baseball Riot of 1913; how a
horde of students grabbed axes and chopped down 200 apple trees to
make way for a new gymnasium; and the legendary 1910 football team
that didn't allow a single touchdown all season-but still lost a
game. Most importantly, it attempts to answer the burning question,
where did the "Hoosiers" get their mysterious name?
