Old grads of Tulane University will come
home next Friday and Saturday for the
Homecoming game and celebration. The
greatest trek of Tulane-Newcomb graduates
in history is assured with many coming from
all sections of the nation.
The Colgate game assures the alumni of
a great and colorful contest. It marks the
first Southern appearance of the famed Red
Raiders.
The program will open Friday. The Fall
Clinics of the Medical School will interest
the alumni of that College.
Open house will be held all day at the
various fraternity chapters. On Friday after­noon,
from 2 to 6 o'clock, alumni will reg­ister
at the St. Charles Hotel headquarters.
Class reunion dinners will be held F ri­day
evening by the classes of 1900, 190 5,
1 910, 1915, 1920, 1925 and 1930. A med-
3
ical school dinner will also be held Friday
night for all graduates.
A stag will be ofered at the New Orleans
Athletic Club at 9 o'clock Friday evening.
Boxing, wrestling, stunts and many other
forms of entertainment will feature this pro­gram.
Fraternities will continue with "open
house" on Saturday. The annual meeting of
the Alumni Association will be held Satur­day
morning at I 0:30 at the St. Charles
Hotel for the election of officers and other
business.
A reception will be held at the hotel im­mediately
following the thirty minute busi-ness
sessron.
The game at 2 o'clock will be followed
by fraternity dances, teas and other get­togethers.
The final event of the program will get
under way at 9: 30 o'clock Saturday night
with a student-alumni dance at the gym­nasium
with Dan Russo's orchestra furnishing
the music.
That forms the most elaborate Homecom­ing
Program ever ofered.
SEWANEE
We are happy to have our old friends
from the Tennessee Mountains with us to­day.
There rs no finer institution anywhere
than little Sewanee-the University of the
South, to be more academic. It is always a
pleasure to have these fine gentlemen as
guests and as opponents on the gridiron.
The Purple of Sewanee and the Olive of,
Tulane have long entwined in this rivalry:
The sportsmanship of the game, after all,'
is the biggest thing in the final analysis.

The University of the South, better known to
football enthusiasts as Sewanee, is perched on top
of Cumberland Mountain in the southern part of
Tennessee near the Alabama line. From the turn
of the century until the early twenties its elevens
were among the most feared in the South. Like the
feudal barons of old these wearers of the Purple
came down from their rocky fastness to crush their
opponents under humiliating scores.
Isolated in this mountain retreat from the dis­tractions
of city life, the boys of the old era did
little else but study and play football. In spite of
a small enrollment, Sewanee's gridiron record of
the past rates equally with almost any other in the
land.
For instance, take the performance of the 1899
team on which those two hard-running backs
Seibels and Simkins played so important a part.
Believe it or not, this outfit won all 12 games on
the schedule without allowing any of its opponents
except Auburn to score a SINGLE POINT. And
against no soft opposition, either. The whitewashed
list included such elevens as Georgia, Georgia Tech,
Tennessee, Texas, Tulane, Louisiana State, Missis­sippi
and North Carolina. However, the football
glories of Sewanee are not past.
Frank Juhan, who was probably as fine a roving
center as the game ever saw, is now Bishop of the
Episcopal Diocese of Florida and a member of the
Board of Regents of Sewanee. In his history of
Southern Football. "Fuzzy" Woodruf pronounces
Henry Phillips "the greatest football player who
ever sank cleated shoes into a chalk line south of
the Mason-Dixon line." Not only did he excel at
guard, but in a Vanderbilt game he alone carried
6
the ball in short, irresistible plunges 88 yards to a
touchdown. His running mate, Ephraim Kirby­Smith,
the fourth son of General Edmund Kirby­Smith
to play on a Sewanee team, was almost as
proficient at lugging the pigskin.
Patton and Murray, though both weighed over
200 pounds, had speed and alertness unusual in
tackles of their size. No All-Time Purple wing­man
surpassed Jenks Gillem in getting down field
under punts. Besides, his dropkicking ability stole
games from Louisiana State and Alabama. The
other end, Delmas Gooch, used to slash through
enemy interference to tackle his man viciously.
Pint-sized 13 0-pound Alvin Browne, speedy and
as elusive as an eel in a broken field, rates the
quarterback post because of his astute diagnosis
of plays over Scarbrough, the Purple's marvelous
kicker. Critics declare Aubrey Lanier the equal of
Walter Eckersall as a safety man. Lanier had a
habit of catching punts while running at full speed,
thus giving to his 190 pounds of bone and muscle
a terrific momentum which was highly dangerous
to the would-be tackler. They labeled Parker "the
one man track team." A 200-pound plunging full­back,
he could step of the gridiron onto the track
and win the shot put, discus and broad jump plus
a few other events.
Sewanee's greatest backfield ace, Ormond Sim­kins,
unfortunately died some years ago from th􀄠􂀠
efects of a football injury from which he never re­covered
after leaving college. A wonderful punt­er
and a hard running ball carrier, he deserves
much of the credit for Sewanee's wonder team of
1899.

THE GRIDIRON ROUNDUP
The Score to Date:
Picked
36
Addis Ababa, Oct. 26.-Ethiopia and six
points was today considered a good bet in
local circles.
Hailie Selassie' s strategy seems to be
pointing for field goals with great stress be­ing
laid on this important phase of play.
Helena, Montana, Oct. 26.-Some 500
earth tremors have been recorded here dur­ing
the past week. The seismograph indi­cated
that the center of the disturbance was
to the east. (Eds. Note: Minneapolis is in
that direction. Tulane sufered a great shock
there last week).
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 2 6.-Unseasonably
hot weather has been experienced through
the mid-west during the past few weeks,
with temperatures here running into the
eighties for a few days. The "spell" was
broken during the past week.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 26.-Georgia's Bull­dogs
have beaten Alabama in football twice
in the past 12 games. Harry Mehre has
planned quite a reception for Frank Thomas
today. Mr. Thomas is very wary of the hos­pitality
of Athens in the fall of the year,
however. (Eds. Note: Demon Dopester
ofers the opinion that Mr. Thomas will
switch glasses with Mr. Mehre and that the
latter, cunning as he is, will get the hemlock
potion by mistake. Old Demon had a
strange glint in his eye as he made this pre­diction
and we hastily moved away from
him.)
London, Oct. 26.-The Ethiopian lega­tion
has charged that Italy is using dum-dum
bullets and poison gas on women and chil­dren.
Chapel Hill, N. C.-The Tarheels of
Nawth Ca'lina don't aim to be slain of in
their own stadium by Gawjah Tech. The
Duke of Durham was sacrificed last week so
that Ca'lina might live. That, at least, will
be the efect of the occurrence a week ago
in Atlanta. The Tarheels will be prepared
for Bill Alexander. Our hunch is Carolina
but nothing is certain except death and
taxes.

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 26.-Vanderbilt is
the choice of your roving eggspert, Mr. De­mon
Dopester, to take-(m' gosh)-a third
successive defeat. (Eds. Note: D. D., caught
himself in the middle of that sentence just
as he was about to call Vandy to win).
L. S. U. has too many guns for the Com­modores.
(How original.)
Worcester, Oct. 26.- (By Demon Dope­ster,
Special to the Greenie) .-1 have the
real inside on this one. I ran ,into a newsie at the railway station
and he related to me how he had struck up
a close acquaintance with the Colgate water
boy. The lad confided to him that Colgate
was a cinch.
That's straight from the water trough.
Urbana, Ill., Oct. 26.-lllinois and Iowa
will meet here in a Dad's Day Special. Bob
Zuppke will make it a real chocolate sundae
for the visiting papas of the lllini students.
Minneapolis, Oct. 26.-The first Big Ten
sacrifice of the year will be ofered up at
Northrup Memorial Stadium today, when
the Gophers roast Northwestern's Wildcats.
Berkeley, Calif., Oct. 26.-The Bears of
Berkeley may leave the skeleton of the Tro­jan
war horse but we doubt it.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 26.-The Red Birds
of Stanford will outpeck a woodpecker in
this one. The University of Washington will
aford some choice morsels.
New York City, Oct. 26.-This Colum­bia-
Michigan game just promises thrills for
the spectators with nothing at stake. Michi­gan
should mop up Baker Field with the
Lions. Yet, Stanford expected to do the
same at the Rose Bowl a couple of years
ago.
Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 26.-Gil Dobie has
been getting what he has long bemoaningly
anticipated. Princeton will give his Reds an
extra big dose today.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 26.-Rice will bounce
back strong against Texas.
New Haven, Oct. 26.-Yale to stop
Army's winning streak.

TIME
Mrs. ]ones stole swiftly through the scullery
door, glided across the yard and put her head
over the neighbor's fence.
"Liza," she called, "have you heard-"
Liza dashed out at breakneck speed, wiping her
hands as she came and put her head against the
fence.
"Have you heard the latest scandal about Mrs.
Smith?" Mrs. jones inquired in a mysterious whis­per,
glancing furtively round as she spoke.
"No, I ain't heard anythin' ," said Liza, eyes
shining and agog with excitement, ears quivering
with joyous anticipation.
"No? Well, then, there can't be any, was the
surprising reply as Mrs. Jones went back to her
cooking.

A miner and his wife were emigrating to Amer­ica.
On arrival the clerk, reading his passport,

HOW
A CIVIL WAR SOLDIER.
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.
COLLEGE C.HEER.I N &-
IT
COLLEGE CHEERING: First college cheer
credited to Princeton students, who got the idea
from an "unknown soldier" of the 7th Regiment
of New York, April 30, 1861, as the regiment
mobilized for war.
INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL: The first
intercollegiate football game in the world was play­ed
by Princeton and Rutgers, November G, 1869, at
New Brunswick, N.J.
UNIFORMS: Football players in 1876 wore
"tights," but the forerunners of the present uni­forms,
canvas jackets and pants, appeared a couple
of years later.
SIGNALS: Originally sentences were used for :
signals ( 18 8 2), but later signals consisted of letters:
beginning a sentence and, finally, numbers.
"MOLESKINS": A material which, in 1888, re­placed
canvas as the material for football suits.
HELMETS: First appeared in 1896; now com­pulse>
ry equipment in some conferences.
FORWARD PASS: Introduced in 1906, but
elaborately restricted.
SCRIMMAGE: Substituted for the Rugby
serum in 18 8 0. The positions of the players were
named: The present-day ends were called "end:
men"; tackles were called "next-to-end" and, later,'
"tacklers," the center was called a center, but the
guards were "next-to-centers."
''GRIDIRON: So-called from the appearance
of the stripes of lime on the field. In 1906 the field'
IS
BEGAN􀂳􋌀􀂳􋌀􀂳􋌠
WORDS WERE ORIGINALLY
U5ED IN CALLING- SIGNALS.
was marked lengthwise as well, in five-yard stripes;
giving it the appearance of a checkerboard, but thi􀆝􉴠
system of marking was abolished in 1910, and the)
familiar "gridiron" returned.
SHIFT: Originated in 1909 by Harry L. Wil-· I
Iiams, one-time Yale player, as coach at Minnesota.
NUMBERS: Introduced in 1915. They are now1
a compulsory part of the players' uniforms in many
conferences; some even insist that numbers be worn
front and back.
SCORING: The value of a touchdown was fixed
at six points in 1912; the value of a field goal was
set at three points in 1909. The value of a safety
was established at two points in 1897, and a goal
from touchdown valued at one point the same year.
The score of a forfeited game, 1 to 0, was made a
part of the rules in 1908.
"ELEVEN": The name is an outgrowth of the
rule of 1880, which reduced the number of players
from fifteen to eleven.
INTERFERENCE: Now called blocking, but
originally called guarding. The original guarding,
introduced in 18 84, consisted of two players run­ning
on either side of the ball-carrier, to make tack­ling
from the side more dificult.
DOWNS: Established in 1882, replacing the
former rule that the team in possession of the ball
could retain it until it was lost by a fumble. The
"downs and yards to go" principle has been modi­fied
several times, but the essential idea is the same
as it was in 1882.

The gridiron is the real melting pot of the
country. Here's a few of the names on the
Duquesne football squad: Zoppetti, Kara­kitos,
Chapala, Platukis, Casillo, Matsik,
Susano, Basrak, T errone, Kakasic, Laputka,
Zanieski, Maras, and Disegi.

And Notre Dame has W ojciehowicz.
Fordham has Wohciehowicz and Woit­kowski.
New York University contributes Amel­schenko.

We always thought Dalovisio was a tough
one to write until we glimpsed a few of the
above. The radio announcers in Dixie have
a lot to say thanks over.
•••
Lutcher High School IS getting out a
snappy football program for each of the
home games. J. A. Lucia, journalism stu­dent
at Tulane, is editing the interesting pub­lication.
The Lutcher program is a credit
to any high school.
•••
Claude (Monk) Simons, Tulane's new
boxing coach, developed such standout
amateur mittmen as Ashton Donza, Ernie
Perrin, Eddie O'Hara and many others dur­ing
the days that he coached at the old
Y. M. G. C.

Troy Odom chunks passes with his left
wing and kicks with his right foot.

AI Flettrich, Tulane fullback, pedals his
bicycle to classes each day. He believes the
"bike" builds up the legs more than any
other exercise .

Tulane, smce 1 89 3, has won six, lost six
and tied two football games against teams
of the middle West.
•••
Four of those games were against Big
Ten teams with the Wave winning only one,
that against Northwestern in 1 92 5, I 8 to 7.
The defeats were at the hands of Michi­gan
in 1920, 21 to 0; Northwestern in 1 930,
1 4 to 0; and Minnesota this fall.
• ••
Dartmouth's Big Green football team has
never beaten Yale. The New Hampshire
Hillmen, however, have often defeated Har­vard
and other major Eastern teams. They
get their chance again at the Boys in Blue
next Saturday .

Southern California is playing two foot­ball
games in Hawaii during the mid-winter
holidays. The Trojans meet the University
of Hawaii on Christmas Day and play the
same team again on New Year's Day.
Leading Scores and Sco·rers
Taking clean play and sportsmanship for
granted, the one thing that counts in foot­ball
is the winner. We used to read a great
deal of fluff and guf about the game being
the thing and we used to hear lectures along
the line that "I would rather play a game
well and lose than play it poorly and win."
These ideas started way back in the buggy
whip and non-streamlined era and that's
where they belong. Today we're sportsmen
if we play at all and so, of course, are our
opponents.
The winner is what counts, but let's keep
that exact idea in mind. The winner is the
one who gets more than the loser. That's
what really counts. The victory is celebrated
and the defeat mourned as such and not by
the size of the margin. There's just as much
to celebrate in beating old Hohpukus by
one point as by 20.
In recent years there's been a growing
newspaper trend to glory in quantity, to
gloat over mere figures and to brag about
hugh totals. Considered calmly these don't
mean a thing in almost every case.
One has to look back no further than the
I 9 34 season to find support of this line of
reasoning. Who was the big scorer last
year? Pittsburg's mighty Panther? Minne­sota's
smashing Big Ten combine? The Rose
Bowl opponents, Stanford and Alabama?
No, none of these.
The leading 1 93 4 scorer was Amarillo
College of Texas. Amarillo played ten in­tercollegiate
contests, winning all but one,
which was a tie. In all, Amarillo made 381
points against its opponents' 60, so Amarillo
must have had a good team. But how good?
Against what opposition was this amazing
average of 38 points per game compiled?
Well, for one, against Altus]. C., which was
beaten, 62-6. Against Panhandle A. & M.,
which was topped by a measly 5 4 - 7 margin,
and against Texas Tech Freshmen, which
were taken to town, I 3-6.
Now another of the big score-makers was
Monmouth College of Oregon, which also
played ten games, and made 32 7 points to
71 for its opponents. But did Monmouth
make these scores against Army or Cali­fornia
or Notre Dame or even Rutgers?
Ah, no. Monmouth registered against
Bachelors ( I 8-0 and in a second game
48- 7), against La Grande Teachers 48- I 3,
22
and topping of the season by edging out
St. Martin by a mere I 0 1 -0.
There are, of course, exceptions. Last
year there were two major ones. One of
these was Minnesota, undefeated and untied
in eight starts. The Gophers played first­rate
opposition for the most part, and yet
tallied 2 70 points against 38 in eight games.
Another was Alabama, champion of the old
South and of the Rose Bowl, with a total
of I 0 games, 3 I 6 points for, and 39
against.
At the other extreme were four colleges
which didn't score so much as a single point.
Lead-of in this unhappy group was, of
course, Knox, which hadn't won since col­lars
were inflammable. If your Saturday
afternoon extras inform you that Knox
scored a point, look for a story on page one
on Sunday morning. It will be there.
Others who kept their own scoring columns
unsullied were Western Union (college, not
Postal's principal competition), Eureka,
which was blanked while discovering 98
opposition points, and Fisk (the college,
not the tire).
Something of similar analogies can be
found among the individual score-makers,
National champion pointer was Bill Shep­herd
of Western Maryland. William col­lected
I 8 touchdowns, and enough other
points to bring his total to I 3 3. Yet a vast
majority of journey's ends on his scoring
sallies came in contests with teams outside
the Grade A and B category. For instance,
Albright, St. Thomas and Mt. St. Mary's.
This isn't intended to detract from the
prowess of Bill Shepherd. He was a really
fine footballer, as many impartial observers
will attest. But these same observers will
argue convincingly that he could have
scored no such total against Ohio State,
Santa Clara or Texas Christian.
Additional figures serve only to prove
the point. For instance, there was Claude
Simons who played with a good club, T u­lane.
He was the leader among big college
scorers, yet his total of 69 points was little
more than half as big as Shepherd's. Then
there were Bobby Grayson of Stanford, who
made 60 points in big-time competition,
and mighty Stan Kostka of Minnesota, with
54, tallied against teams of the Gophers'
general class.
