The Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Carthage's First League

From 1912 to 1941, Carthage was a member of the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Association (IIAA) for football, men's basketball, baseball, men's golf and men's track and field.  According to former Illinois State University track and field coach Joe Cogdal, the league had its roots in the 1870s when a number of Illinois schools banded together for oratorical contests.  The first intercollegiate football game within this association was played in 1881 between Illinois State and Knox College, and a football association was established for the 1894 season.

 

The IIAA was formed in April 1908 for a May 22 track and field meet with eight charter members, including the Bradley Polytechnic Institute (later Bradley University), Illinois College, Illinois State Normal University (later shortened to Illinois State University), Illinois Wesleyan University, Knox College, Lombard College (now defunct), Millikin University and Monmouth College.  By the 1910-11, the league had expanded to 13 teams with the addition of Eureka College, Hedding College (now defunct), Lincoln College, Shurtleff College (now defunct) and William & Vashti College (now defunct). 

 

Four schools were added for the 1912-13 season, including Augustana College (Ill.), Carthage College, Eastern Illinois Normal University (later shortened to Eastern Illinois University) and McKendree College.  Southern Illinois Normal University (later re-named Southern Illinois University-Carbondale) became the 18th member during the 1913-14 academic year.  Three more schools were added in 1914-15 to boost the membership to 21 schools.  Those three were Blackburn College, St. Viator College (now defunct) and Western Illinois Normal University (later shortened to Western Illinois University).  William & Vashti closed in 1917 reducing the league to 20 members, but Lake Forest College and Wheaton College (Ill.) joined the circuit in 1919-20 when the league name was changed to the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Association (IIAC), bringing the membership up to 22 schools. 

 

Several other schools joined in the 1920s, including Mount Morris College (joined in 1920 and now defunct), Northern Illinois Normal University (joined in 1922 and later re-named Northern Illinois University), Elmhurst College in 1925 and North Central College in 1927.  Blackburn withdrew following the 1923 season, and Hedding College closed in 1927 and was subsequently bought out by Illinois Wesleyan. 

 

Somewhere along the line, the IIAC gained the nickname of the Little 19 Conference, even though the membership ranged from the high of 24 in the 1927-28 season schools to just five by the spring of 1942.  Lincoln pulled out after 1928 spring season and subsequently shifted from a four-year school to a junior college.  Lombard quit after 1929, and the school closed in 1930 and was taken over by Knox College.  Mount Morris closed following the 1931-32 academic year.  The conference really began to falter after the 1936-37 season when 12 schools withdrew to form the Illinois College Conference.  Those 12 schools were Augustana, Bradley, Illinois College, Illinois Wesleyan, Knox, Lake Forest, McKendree, Millikin, Monmouth, North Central, Shurtleff (closed after the 1956-57 academic year and absorbed by Southern Illinois University) and Wheaton.  St. Viator closed in 1939, and Olivet Nazarene University took over its campus in 1947.  Carthage, Elmhurst and Eureka withdrew from the IIAC in December 1941, leaving only five schools:  Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois and Western Illinois.

 

In 1950, the league changed its name from the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Interstate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference when Eastern Michigan University and Central Michigan University brought the membership to seven schools.  Eastern Michigan and Southern Illinois both left after the 1961-62 academic year.  Eastern Michigan went independent for several years before joining the Presidents’ Athletic Conference for two seasons in 1964-65 and 1965-66.  EMI returned to independent status for a time before joining the Mid-American Conference in 1971.  EMU did not begin competing in MAC men’s basketball until 1974-75 or in football until 1976.

 

Southern Illinois also played as an independent for several years before joining the Academic Athletic Conference of Midwestern Universities for two seasons beginning in 1970-71 and 1971-72.  SIU returned to independent status for three seasons prior to joining the Missouri Valley Conference for men’s basketball in 1975-76 and for football in 1977.  The MVC dropped football as a conference sport in 1985, and SIU became a charter member of the Gateway Football Conference that same year, along with former Little 19 schools Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois and Illinois State.

 

Northern Illinois left the IIAC for the Mid-American Conference in 1966, dropping the league to four members.  The final demise of the IIAC came in 1969 when Illinois State left to join the Academic Athletic Conference of Midwestern Universities.  Illinois State is now a member of the Missouri Valley conference.  The remaining three IIAC schools disbanded the league at the end of the 1969-70 academic year.  Central Michigan joined the Mid-American Conference in 1971.  Western Illinois was admitted to the Association of Mid-Continent Universities (AMCU) in 1978-79 after eight years as an independent, and Eastern Illinois joined WIU in the AMCU in 1982-83 after 12 years as an independent.  The AMCU changed its name to the Mid-Continent Conference in 1989-90 and to the Summit League in 2007-08.

 

Among the other IIAC members, seven later helped form the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin.  Those seven were Augustana (Ill.), Carthage, Elmhurst, Illinois Wesleyan, Millikin, North Central and Wheaton (Ill.).  Bradley is currently a member of the Missouri Valley Conference.  Blackburn and Eureka are members of the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.  Illinois College, Knox, Lake Forest and Monmouth are members of the Midwest Conference, although Illinois College and Lake Forest were once part of the CCIW.  McKendree is an NAIA affiliate and a member of the American Midwest Conference, and Lincoln is now a two-year school and a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association.

At least three games in the 1922-23 season were broadcast on Carthage radio station WCAZ:  the Jan. 19 Parsons game, the Jan. 24 Monmouth game and the Feb. 7 Mount Morris contest.  Due to the paucity of radio stations at the time, WCAZ was reportedly received in as many as 40 states.  A report in the Hancock County Journal said that the Mount Morris game was heard as far away as Rochester, N.Y., St. Paul, Minn., and Denver, Colo.

Peoria, Ill.

*IIAC game

 

Carthage’s first gymnasium was begun in 1905 and opened on Jan. 11, 1907, at a reported cost of $12,500.  The College broke ground for new fieldhouse on May 12, 1930, this one with a price tag of $100,000.  The facility opened for varsity basketball practice on Nov. 17, 1930, and the Red Men played their first game in the new fieldhouse on Jan. 9, 1931, and defeated Culver-Stockton College, 28-19.  The facility was dedicated on Jan. 16, 1931, as the Red Men lost to Augustana College (Ill.) by a 31-23 margin.  The last home basketball game in the Carthage fieldhouse was on March 1, 1964, when the Red Men wrapped up their only CCIW title with a 68-54 win over Millikin.

With Herbert "Hub" Wagner still in military service, the 1994-45 team had three different head coaches.  The Rev. P.T. Hersch guided the club during pre-season workouts.  Hersch's assistant, Charles Lynwood, took over for the first three games but left after the Dec. 2 Augustana game.  Hersch resumed head-coach duties until Stan Lewison took over just prior to the Jan. 15 game at Burlington Junior College.
