The Wheaton Football Team's only loss in its 1904 season was to the School of

the Art Institute. In these early years of football

looked disparagingly upon

by Pres. Charles Blanchard-- student athletes often made their own uniforms

and played without a coach and were overseen by volunteer referees (with or

without a rule book). For many years, President Blanchard put football in the

same category with gambling and hard liquor.
