The phrase “1897 Fairmount Wheatshockers football team” does not correspond to a widely recognized or well‑documented subject in major encyclopedic references. While Fairmount College (the predecessor of Wichita State University) fielded football teams in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specific details about a distinct 1897 squad are not readily available in reliable, verifiable sources.
Consequently, encyclopedic information on this particular team—such as season record, roster, coaching staff, or notable events—is currently lacking. Any discussion beyond acknowledging the general existence of early Fairmount College football activities would be speculative.
