Out of the Mists of History!

While working on the All-Barrel team we came across a page eight of the October 5, 1932 addition of the Independent our of Tampa/ St. Petersburg Florida, the sports page. A couple of gems caught our eye.

DUKE FULLBACK FINALLY PUTS

OVER TOUCHDOWN AFTER YEARS IN WAITING

Durham, N. C., Oct. 5. - (AP) Ken

Abbot, reserve fullback at Duke

university, waited a long time for a

touchdown.

It wasn't that he hadn't made any

in the past two years. He had

crossed the goal line four times but

each time there was a penalty on

the Blue Devils and the play called

back.

In the Duke-Virginia Poly game...

So there, Virginia Poly is the officially the shortened name for VPI&SU.

Also of note.

Lean times for the "Tornados" under coach W.A. Alexander.

Rules changed to protect players, Sissy-fication of America continues!

Baseball managers fired at an alarming rate!

Babe Ruth! Star Athlete! Loud Mouth! Kind of a Jerk!

Georgia! Inept!
