Thousands of Tulane alumni are here
today, drawn from all sections of America
for the great Homecoming celebration.
We hope that you have enjoyed every
minute of the time spent "back home"
with us and that you'll enjoy the football
game today.
It is the first invasion of the famed
Red Raiders of Colgate into the South.
Coach Andrew Kerr's teams are known
throughout the nation for their strength
and cleverly executed plays, involving
great handling of the ball.
We salute Colgate today!
Let's have a big cheer for the Red
Raiders, win, lose or draw.

RE ATHLETICS
Dr. ]ames H. Kirkland, Chancellor of
Vand erb ilt University, is quoted by The Associated
Press, as giving a few views on
"athletic ability" as "a factor in student
value."
Chancellor Kirkland's vi ews are interesting
and command thought.
The Chancellor, now in his forty-third
year as head of Vanderbilt, says that "when
scholarships are passed around, and when
loans are made, the student's athletic ability
should be taken into account."
In order that these loans and scholarships
shall not be stamped "salaries for athletic
services," Chancellor Kirkland prop oses that
their distr ibution be approved by college
faculty members and trustees as well as the
officers of athl etic conferences.
Chancellor Kirkland, the corresp ondent
points out, is one of those who believe that
the giving of money to football players by
alumni "can't be stopped absolutely."
"But the college can discourage such p ;actice
and can refuse to become a part of it, "
he says.
"Wh at are you going to do in a case like
this?" the Chancellor asked. "An alumnus
comes around to you and says he's going to ,
give $I 00 to Tom Brown or Jim Smith of
y o u r football team. Maybe y o u would tell
the alumnus not to d o it. But if the $I 00
were b eing ofered a non-athletic student,
would you give the same advice?"
Dr. Kirkland believes that the "mental
attitude of a student b o dy toward athletics
is more wholesome" than that of the public
and most o f the alumni.
"If football ever b ecomes solely a college
game again all this so-called subsidizing
of players will be eliminated, " he declared .
"As the game is accepted now many of the
evils can b e eliminated if all transactions involvin
g the lending of money or giving of
scholarships to players are brought into the
op en.''
Chancellor Kirkland plans to discuss his
ideas at the December meeting of the Conference.
That will be to the good of intercollegiate
athl etics. Chancellor Kirkland, like most
other university authorities, is anxious to
maintain a high plane in coll egiate sports
and to eliminate real evils where they may
exist, and at the same time op enly give
meritorious scholarships.

Fair Chenango's sun-kissed valley is famous for
its sweet apples and sweeter football players. Colgate
spirit, a by-word on the gridiron, makes up for
lack of student numbers. The little giant of the
North can show an old-time roster worthy of any
great university.
Tow-headed little Ellery Huntington, elusive as a
Scotch mist, inspiring as an evangelist, ranks with
the great quarterbacks of all time. Reared on the
Colgate Campus, Ellery early determined to win a
name for himself in footbalL He practiced for
hours pegging a ball at a spot on his cellar door.
He read books on quarterback strategy and quizzed
himself daily on choice of plays. Once in college
Huntington proceeded to turn theory into fact.
Larry Bankhart, among the smartest of coaches,
could pick no flaws in Huntington's generalship.
Huntington ran through Syracuse and Yale like a
will-o-the-wisp.
• Oc. Anderson, a 1 0-second man, twice went to
·town against Yale in 1 9 1 5 from points beyond mid-field.
He could hit a handkerchief with a pass at
30 yards from the dreaded Bankhart's spread form·
ation.
Anderson never dropped a punt during four
years and never played one safe either.
Eddie Tryon ranks with Kaw of Cornell as the
greatest mud-runner football has known. On a
wet track Tryon was even better than on a dry
field, which is saying plenty. Eddie slithered
through a swamp to beat Princeton in 1 925, but
his peak performance came at Ohio State's expense
in 1 923 when he thrice dashed to touchdowns in
the wake of Tiny Welsh's interference. An under·
slung type, Tryon kept his feet like one of those
lea<;l-weighted celluloid dolls.
Slant sho.;'ldered, bow-legged Walter Runge was
the greatest blocking back in Colgate annals. As
a take-out man he ranks with Hardwick of Harvard.
6
Runge's lethal interference made Riley Castleman's
fame as an open field runner. Against Dartmouth
in 1 904 Runge took out three men on one play,
bobbing to his feet each time to keep ahead of
Castleman
Colgate boasts such steamroller fullbacks as Macaluso,
Irwin, Lyon, Shaughnessy and Swartout, but
Hank Cillo was the hardest driver of the lot. Cillo
could do the century in 1 1 seconds, and thus cash
in on his bovine rusher. He played 40 minutes
against Syracuse in 19 1 9 with a broken collarbone
strapped in place. Charlie Soleau, most versatile
of the Kerr era backs, handled the ball like a juggler..
Leslie Hart was a flash at turning the end.
Colgate is noted for its mighty tackles-West,
Abell, Brooks, Horning and Huntington. Belford
West epitomized the virtues of an ideal tackle. His
foot work and use of hands was beyond criticism.
He could punt and pass and place-kick like a quarterback.
Against Syracuse in 1 9 1 5 he booted a 5 2-
yard field goaL Despite a bandaged knee he made
the AU-America two years running.
Tufy Abell, broad as a barn door, did not look
his 6 feet. Fast, despite his huge bulk, he could
punt and place-kick. He split Yale's uprights from
the 42-yard line in 1 9 1 5 . Jim Welsh, called Tiny,
because he weighed 2 1 5 pounds, was a squat, thickset
fellow, who popped out of line to lead interference
as nimbly as a cat scales a fence. Jim was ·
the best open field blocker in Colgate history. He
was adept at place-kicking, too. It's just an old
Colgate custom for line men to boot the field goals.
Bob Smith, Kerr's torpedo-like interferer, stood out
above the modern gods.
John Orsi, a second Oosterbaan at snatching
passes, was the hardest driver among Colgate ends.
Winne Anderson of recent fame had relaxed elbows
and hands that gave with a thrown balL
Fred Peterson, king-pin of Colgate's centers, almost
murdered Ketcham of Yale in 1 9 1 3 and fought
Syracuse to the finish on two sprained ankles. This
Swede was tough. Glen Peters of the 1 93 3 team
had an even wider ofensive range than Peterson.

Colgate-Giant of the Chenango
By DEXTER H. TEED,
(Director of Publicity, Colgate University)
When the Greenies of Tulane and the Red
Raiders of Colgate lineup for the first kickof
to day, and the 22 men on the field swing
into the smashing action of the gridiron
game, it will be the first time a Colgate team
will have played in New Orleans, and it will
be the first time the Raid ers have engaged
an el even in the d eep South.
D own in the South not too much is known
about Colgate, except that the tradition of
having g o o d football teams is well-established.
Since 1906 Colgate teams have been
beating some of the best in the game. Since
Andy K err came to Colgate as coach in 19 29
the Raid ers have been rated at the top, or
close to the top, nationally.
What about Colgate University? It is not
well-known d own in the South. But it is I I 6
years old, having been founded in 18 I 9 by
I 3 men, who p ooled their I 3 d ollars and
started the institution that was to grow slowly
until the late 1880's, when Dr. James C.
Colgate, an alumnus of a few years before,
spent much o f his time and money building
up the modern university.
Since then he has been patron and president
of the b oard of trustees. A New York
banker, h e has given lavishly of his energies
as h e has watched the university grow from
a few hundred students and a few buildings
to the m o d ern university of splendid p hysical
equipm ent and more than I 000 students.
He is kn own as "the father of Colgate."
When h e resigned as president of the board
of trustees a year ago, h e was honored as
"th e man who made Colgate."
Colgate is a college for b oys only. It is
situat ed in Central New York, 30 miles from
Utica and 40 miles fr om Syracuse. Its
president, George Barton Cutten, is a football
enthusiast. He once was All-America
center at Yale. H e d o esn't believe in d eemphasis.
He b elieves in all kinds of athletics
and fo otball is his first love. Football
is a typical American game, he b elieves, and
should be fostered as such.
Colgate has strict eligibility rules for all
sports. Every year some of the best players
are barred b ecause o f scholastic dificulties.
This year one of the best b acks was lost.
Students who do not do their work do not
play football at Colgate, d espite President
Cutten's love of the game.
9
In educational circl es Colgate is known b ecause
o f the renowned "Colgate Plan" o f
education. It is based u p o n t h e fundamental
thought that the best way to prepare a student
for his work in the world is to give him
a broad foundation of learning, and then
give him the work in which he expects to specialize.
Thus, as a freshman, the student
covers the entire range of human knowledge
in survey courses covering such subjects as
philosophy, religion, languages, literature,
sciences and allied subjects. Later he will
specialize, and tutors will work with him.
He is given the utmost freedom in pl otting
his own educational advancement. Initiative
is encouraged.
But Colgate is more than that. Being a
small college, situated in the village of Hamilton,
in the Chenango Hills, it has g enerated
a spirit known as "Colgate Spirit-" which is
something intangible, something that quickens
the pulses and makes students cheer a
little louder, play a little harder and do their
jobs better. I t's a tradition at Colgate.
G o o d football teams have been the rule,
rather than the exception. The first great
team operated in I 91 3, when Ellery Huntington,
a great quarterback, led his eleven
to a I 6-6 victory over Yale. Ellery was AllAmerica
quarterb ack that year. From then
onward the football team was at the top or
cl ose to the top in the East. In I 9 I 6 Colgate
was undisputed national champion, with a
15-0 victory over Illinois, the Big Ten champion,
as the p ro o f of the team's greatness.
Three Colgate players made Walter Camp's
All-America team. Football dropped d own
in the Worl d War years, but it has come
back stronger than ever under Andy K err.
It fits in with the tradition of the typ e o f
manh o o d that is devel oped a t Colgate.
All athletics are on a high plane at Colgate.
Losing teams are seld om produced.
Since William A. Reid came as graduate
manager in I 9 I 9, the scope of intercollegiate
athletics has been broadened and now teams
seek to play Colgate in all sp orts. Reid , as
coach o f baseball, has turned out some fine
nin es. Until 1928 he coached basketball
and was uniformly successful. The intramural
program is highly developed, and
more than 90 per cent of the students en-

THE GRIDIRON ROUNDUP
The Score to Date:
Picked
48
Winners
31
Your Editor had some difficulty in quiet-.
ing Mr. Demon Dopester this week. Old
Demon seemed to have caught the spirit of
the H omecoming and instead of selecting
the "toughest dozen" games of this week to
prognosticate, the woozy old fellow wanted
to go out on the limb and try a hand at naming
the winners in twenty-four gamse.
Your Editor glanced over the selecti ons
and found the Demon as reckless as ever.
He had really dug up two dozen games in
which an element of d oubt might be found.
Since Demon has to take the "rap" on
the selections, we decided to present his list,
without guarantees. (You might check your
hand against that of Demon). Here they
are:
NOTRE DAME-OHIO STATE-This is
the one that is worrying lots of folks but not
me. "Show 'em no mercy" Schmidt won't
show any to the Ramblers. I have just discovered
that neither of these teams have
been beaten or tied. That makes it simple.
I predict that one of the teams will join the
beaten ranks today and it won't be Ohio
State.
I calls that going right out on the
branch es.
CALIFORNIA - U. C. L. A.-Here's
another one that is bothering some of the
other exp erts but which I claims d o n't annoy
me at all. Despite the fact that neither the
Cal Bears or the Uclans have been tied o r
beaten, I simply awards t h e verdict to M r .
Bill Spaulding's Bruins of Los Angeles. (Eds.
N o te: We are pleased to see that Demon at
least knows where U. C. L. A. is l ocate d . )
Now that those two set-ups are dished
away, let's get down to serious business:
NORTH CAROLINA-N. C. STATEHere'
s a d o g-eat-puppy game. Chapel Hill
is general headquarters for the State University
system in Nawth Ca'lina just as
Berkeley is hea dquarters in California. In
this case, h owever, Carl Snaveley's Tarh eels
will beat back Hunk Anderson' s W ol fpack
but it will be close.
II
Losers Ties
11 0
MISS. STATE-ARMY-The Maroons of
Mississippi State will be teed up high for this
one and may kick the dope bucket. Yet, I
am going to stick with the probably overconfident
Cadets. Major Ralph Sasse may
give the Point another lesson in football
though at that. If Miss. State comes through
it'll be the biggest victory of the year for the
football forces of Dixie since Army, unbeaten
and untied, is a strong challenger for
the national title.
IND IANA-lOW A-The Hoosiers showed
power in the first half against Ohio State but
it must be remembered that Schmidt's Buckeyes
were probably under wraps awaiting
the Irish challenge. Two votes for Iowa .
MINNESOTA - PURDUE - Purdue, unscored
upon until last week when they lost
in a shocking upset to Carnegie, will be back
and really tough. Bernie Bierman's Gophers
are badly battered. Still we cast % vote for
the Gophers.
PRINCETON-NAVY-The Navy is better
than most anyone thinks and conceivably
may trip Nassau. We're riding only
with the favorites, where we can find 'em,
and so it' s one rousing vote for Princeton.
STANFORD - SANTA CLARA -Anything
may happen here. Santa Clara is
strong enough to beat the Cardinals if they
are wobbly after the hard Washington game.
% vote for Stanford.
TEMPLE-MICHIGAN STATE-This one
will trip plenty of "pick ers" since it is positively
a natural. Temple gets my vote
although a coin decided the decision.
DARTMOUTH-YALE - Dartmo uth has
never beaten Yale. Every year it seems they
go into the game an even choice but some how
fail to come through. On the basis of
past scores, Yale by one vote to continue the
tradition.

(Continued from page II)
DUKE - TENNESSEE - Two up-andd
owners in a game that l o oks even from
every angle. Tennessee by a straw.
L. S. U.-AUBURN-Auburn has the stuff
to win if L. S. U. gets of balance momentarily.
Yet, the Plainsmen may crack after
the strenuous schedule to date with a small
squad. One vote for the Baton Rouge
Tigers.
BAYLOR-T. C. U.-Another o f those
Southwest puzzlers. The Horned Frogs
after a great game.
GEORGIA TECH-VANDY-This is the
'steenth toss-up of "the day. The Commodores
get the nod.
NORTHWESTERN - I LLINOIS - The
Wildcats o f Evanston but n o t by more than

S. M. U. -TEXAS-Mattie Bell's Mustangs

Alligators.
PITT-FORDHAM-The Panthers to pester
the Rams in a rough way.

proving each week and they'll be entertaining
on their home lot. Still, one vote for
Penn's prize sophomores.
MARYLAND-VIRGINIA-The Old Liners
of College Park to trim the Cavaliers.
NEBRASKA-MISSOURI - Dana Bible's
steam roller is going a gam. T o o bad for
Missouri.

played a real ball game last week and Syracuse
l o oked just fair in taking Brown. Still ,

"The Ayes Have It"
A girl who "'noes"
Wears last year's clothes;
But one who "yesses"
Has lovely dresses.

A farmer gave the new man an alarm clock and
told him that he was expected to get up at 4
o'clock each morning .
The first morning the alarm failed to ring, and
the new man was nearly an hour late in rising.
''Why didn't you get up at 4 o'clock, as I told
you?" the farmer asked him.
"The alarm didn't ring, " the new man replied.
"I meant to tell you about that," the farmer told
him. "'Sometimes it gets stuck, and won't ring;
but you've just got to shake it a bit, and she'll ring
all right. Now, if she don't ring by five past four
tomorrow morning, give. her a shake."

WHAT makes football teams fight?
Popular belief has it that it is dressing
room oratory that wins games; at half time, with
one team trailing by a touchdown or so, you'll
frequently hear Joe Fan observe sagely to Mrs. Fan
or anyone else within earshot: "You just wait and
see! Good ole 'Pop' Schmalz'll give those boys a
talkin-to they won't forget in a hurry. They'll be
. a diferent team the next half."
Dressing room oratory is all right in its way,
but more than one senior footballer has confessed
that it merely bored him, and that he grew to be
critical of the coach's verbal pyrotechnics. Smart
coaches recognize that constant dripping doesn't
wear away the hardest stone, so they resort, when
the occasion warrants, to shrewd stratagem.
One of the shortest "fight talks" on record is
credited to the late Knute K. Rockne, whose "block,
Block, BLOCK!" was the standard closing period
of most dressing room talks. It was at half time.
The Notre Dame team, strangely lethargic, was
trailing and, what was more, seemed too pepless to
do anything about it. Rockne entered the train-
fJa\tKS
ing quarters, surveyed the listless players with a
look of withering scorn and, in two words that
spoke volumes, said "Fighting Irish!" And left the
room. Notre Dame won.
Harry Mehre, coach of the University of Georgia.
fired his team up to beat Yale, 26 to 7, Yale's only
defeat in 19 3 J, in a game in which the Yale Bulldogs
were favored over the Georgia Bulldogs. Sensing
that oratory would do little or no good, Mehre
stood in the center of the training quarters with
his hands on his hips, looked the squad over and
said, in tones of chagrin: "Well, boys, we're just
a one dollar game in New Haven." The southerners
took the field fighting mad, shook Homer Key
loose for 75 yards and a touchdown, and routed
the Elis.
Fight talks have their comic side, too. There is
the case of the player, said to have been at the
Naval Academy, who became so aroused by the
between-halves fireworks set of by the coach that
he ran, blind with rage, into a concrete pillar in
the training quarters and fractured his nose. Then
there was the :09.8 sprinter-Bill Alexander, of
Georgia Tech, tells the story-who was groomed
all season for a touchdown run in the "big game"
of the year. Clad in track scanties, he crouched
on the sidelines, awaiting the psychological moment.
·It came. The coach gave him a few last words of
advice, slapped him on the back and pushed him
toward the field. The high-strung lad sped like
:a deer to the sidelines, tripped over the linesmen's
''chain and stepped into a water bucket, breaking
his ankle!

The year 1 9 3 5 will go into the r e c o rd b o o k s a s
p e rhaps the dizziest s e a s o n o f S o u t h e r n football
history.
"How come ? "
Is it because football is of lower caliber than
during the past decade when each year two or
three outstanding teams of the Southeastern Conference
or Southern Conference went into the November
stretch unbeaten and untied, battling for
leade rship }
Is it because the strong teams of other years
have failed to develop in the Spring and hit championship
stride in the early Fall ?
We don't thing so. We are of the conviction
that football in the Southeastern Conference is better
today than ever before and that proof of the
assertion is the fact that hitherto unimp ressive
teams have jumped into giant-killing roles.
Perhaps there is no team in the Conference
this year with the strength of the 1934 Alabama
team or the 1931 Tulane team or the 1928 Georgia
fech array. That is a point that can't be determined,
regardless of pro and con arguments. Alabama's
team just at this time seems to have great
power.
Let's take t h e conference a s a whole, o n e team
at a time :
Alabama-Perhaps a shade down j u s t now from
1 9 3 4 strength b u t gaining momentum weekly.
Aubu rn-Greatly improved over last year.
L . S. U.-lmproved over last y e a r.
Geor gia-I mproved over last y e a r .
Geo r gia Tech-Greatly improved over last year.
Flo rida-About t h e same a s last y e a r o r a shade
weaker.
Kentucky-I mproved o v e r last year.
Mississippi S tate-Greatly improved over l ast
year.
O l e Miss-Improved over last year.
Vanderbilt-Greatly improved o v e r last year.
Tennessee-Weaker than last year.
Sewanee-About the same as last y e a r .
Tulane-N o t as s t r o n g as last year, due t o l o s s
o f e i g h t e e n l ettermen f r o m 1 9 3 4 t e a m . L a c k i n g in
the experience o f last year' s great t e a m .
Those a r e statements t h a t w e feel a r e based on
obvious facts, p rincipally the results o f games
played to date.
2 2
To further substantiate these beliefs, we m i g h t
point out i n the case o f Auburn that the P l a i n s m e n
al ready have won four games t h i s y e a r compared
with two victories f o r the 1 9 3 4 season. G e o r gia
has scored four victories this year compared with
two up t o the same time a year ago. Georgia Tech
has w o n four games this fall contrasted with a single
victory during last season. Kentucky has won
no m o r e games than in the same p e r i o d twelve
months a g-o b u t has been more imp ressive i n its
games this fall, with the exception o f the Auburn
contest. L . S . U. has b e e n j u s t as impressive as
last fall if n o t even m o r e consistent. Ole Miss and
Mississippi State have given c o n c rete evidence that
t h e y a r e n o longer a d o o rmat f o r any opposition.
Vanderbilt. despite t h r e e defeats, has left ' n o doubt
b u t that its team is imp roved conside rably over la s t
year.
The Sou thwest Conference has had a somewhat
similar situation to o u r p resent one f o r a numbe r
of years. The same has b e e n true of the "Big Ten . "
It i s a new experience f o r us.
T h e r e have b e e n few weak football "sisters" i n
the B i g Ten o r t h e Southwest Conference and c o n s
e q uently t h e y have s e l d o m s u rvived a s e a s o n with
o n e team standing o u t greatly over the others.
When a B i g Ten team played a schedule o f six
Conference games, they usually can figure o n five
tough ones a n d p e rhaps six in the lot. The same
has b e e n t r u e of the Sou thwest Conference.
Up until this year, that has not always been the
case i n the S o u t h e a s t e r n Conference and s t i l l is n o t
t r u e of the S o u t h e r n Conference. T h e t w o Mississippi
institutions, Sewa nee and often Auburn o r
Kentucky, have been unable t o ofer serious c o m p
e t i t i o n to the maj o r t e a m s . T h o s e days seem
gone forever with Mississippi State bumping o v e r
A l a b a m a , Ole Miss t r i m m i n g teams here a n d there,
and Auburn a n d K e ntucky givi n g and taking with
the best o f them. F o r instance, Kentucky's great
game a gainst p owerful Ohio State was o n e o f t h e
best o f the y e a r i n the intersectional competition.
I t all boils down to th e fact that we may not
have so m a n y teams to send to the Rose B owl a s i n
t h e past b u t at any rate we' l l see better football
during o u r regular nine and ten game schedules
which, after all, is m o r e important.

ANDREW KERR, Head Coach at
Colgate University, has directed the destinies
of Colgate football for the past six
seasons. During that time he has turned
out six of the finest .teams in the history
of the University. Kerr has had a wide
experience as a coach, having filled that
position at Washington and Jeferson,
Pittsburgh, and Stanford Universities
previous to coming to Colgate.
JOHN ORSI is servmg his fourth
year as varsity end coach. He was captain
of the 1 93 1 Red Raiders and received
All-American honors at the close
of that season on the All-American
Board of Football's annual team. He
was one of the best ends ever developed
at Colgate and his coaching of the fine
wingmen of last year is ample proof of
his ability as a tutor.
J. LESLIE HART captained the Colgate
eleven of 1 930 and is also serving
. his fourth year as backfield coach. He
received All-American mention three
years ago and was regarded as one of
the finest kickers and passers in the
country. His coaching had much to do
last year with the smooth execution of
the Raider's air attack.
ROBERT GILLSON played three
years of varsity football at Colgate before
graduating in 1 930, and was one of
the finest linemen in the country in his
final year. Fallowing this he played
three seasons of professional football
with the Brooklyn Dodgers and coached
the line at Middlebury in 1 932. This
is his third year as line coach at Colgate
30
and his wide experience should do much
in moulding another fine forward wall
for the Red Raiders.
JACK ROURKE, trainer of the football
team, has been at Colgate more than
20 years. Athletes conditioned by him
have gone into games fit and ready for
the fray. One of his greatest contributions
has been as a builder of moraleand
if anybody doubts that he has plenty
of wit, humor and stories, call on
him in the wintergreen-scented trainer's
room.

gage in some sport. Athletics are a part of
Colgate. There is no de-emphasis. There
won' t be any.
Distinguished alumni of Colgate include :
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes of the
Supreme Court ; Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick,
pastor o f the Riverside church, in N ew York ;
Morris Hindus, distinguished writer on Russia,
whose book, "Humanity Upro oted , " is
considered a classic ; Ray Fosdick, secretary
of the League of Nations ; Dr. William H .
Crawshaw, authority on literature and author
; Dr. Bernard C. Clausen, distinguished
Pittsburgh pastor and writer on religious
subj ects ; George W. Cobb, former a dvertising
manager of the American Can Company-
and many oth ers.
The Colgate tradition and spirit is symb olized
in "Alma Mater, " which has words like
these :
"When through thy valleys, Fair Chenango,
twilight falls,
Bringing its silence to our college halls.
In that happy moment l ove for Alma Mater
swells,
And the h eart, out-p ouring, of her gl ory
tells.
Colgate, Alma Mater, fairest theme of all
our lays.
Colgate, Alma Mater, ever blest thy
days. "
