TROUNCES FOKDIIAM Talk of resuming football at Centenary college has caused the revival of memories of those golden gridiron days of the Gentlemen.

The golden era In football at Centenary began In 1922 with the arrival of Nugent "Bo" McMillan as coach and lasted until the bombing of Pearl Harbor. During the 24 years the Gents mingled with the major elevens of the nation and were known far and wide as the gollaths of the grid-Iron, the Maroon and White colors were In action from the far shores of the New England states to the sunny elopes of California and from the shores of the Gulf of Mexico as far north as Indiana. Under the regimen of McMillan the Gents played such stellar teams as the Tennessee Doctors of Memphis. Loyola of New Orleans, Louisville university, Chattanooga, Bowling Green of Western, Texas Christian university. Southwestern of Texas.

Oglethorpe, Boston college. Butler of Indiana, St. Louis university and Lombard. Earl Davis became coach in 1924 and lasted one year. Homer Norton then took over and under his regime the Gents added to their list of major teams by playing Union of Tennessee.

Mississippi college. Southern Methodist. Arkansas university, Baylor, Birmingham-Southern, Mississippi State, Rice, Texas Aggies, Texas university. Stetson, Purdue, Ole Miss, Tulane and Louisiana State. When Norton moved to Texas A.

and Curtis Parker became head coach at Centenary and Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Texas Tech. Xavier, Arizona, Oklahoma Aggies, Loyola of Los Angeles. De Paul, Iowa university and Southwestern of Tennessee appeared as newcomers on the Gents' schedule. New additions to the Gents' schedule with Jake Hanna as head coach were Washington of Missouri and Hardin-Simmons. Almost annually during these years the Gents had their traditional battles with Louisiana Tech of Kuston and Northwestern (Louisiana Normal) of Natchitoches.

During these golden years the Gents met the Tulane Greenies twite and were not able to finish In front of the New Orleans crew either time. In 1932. Centenary beat Louisiana State 6 to 0 and the following year they Invaded Baton Rouge and held the Tigers to a scoreless tie. Both were great battles, as were the games with Tulane that ended 14 to 0 in 1925 and 19 to 0 In 1936. The two games the Gents played with the Boston Eagles were great ones.

They lost the first 14 to and won the second 10 to 9. The second contest was marked by a piece of brilliant strategy, when in the last minute of play. Centenary deliberately gave the New Englanders a safety and two points to retain possession of the ball and held It until the final whistle sounded. In the midwest. Centenary beat Butler one year 9 to 7 and lost the next season 9 to 0.

They had one test at the University of Iowa and lost. 19 to 12, and against the husky Purdue Boilermakers, they lost two contests. In two games with Loyola of Los Angeles, they met defeat on both occasions. From 1923. when Texas Christian first appeared on the Centenary -rhertuie.

They did not meet again until 1930 and In the last three clashes Centenary did not score. During the golden days many gridiron events were recorded Including a 35-yard field goal by Jim Weaver, against Loyola of New Orleans; an 80-yard touchdown by Bard Farrell, against Boston college-a 35-yard field goal by J. Otis, against Lombard; a 96-yard return of a punt for a touchdown by Ralph Murff, against Texas A. and M. In 1930; a last-quarter rally in 1931, when the Gents scored four touchdowns to beat Baylor.

24 to 13; the year 1933, when Paul Gelsler wlngman. was named as all-American by the Associated Press and the United Press; Bill Burch's return of a kickoff of a 91-yard run for a touchdown, against Texas Christian In 1934; Langford Huddleston's return of a kickoff for 90 yards and a touchdown against Arizona In 1934; Weenie Bynum running 95 yards for a touchdown against Hardin-Slmmons In 1938 after Intercepting a pass; Truman "Big Chief Johnson's run of a kickoff for 86 yards and a touchdown against Texas Christian in 1941; that brilliant season of 1927 when the Gents raced through Louisiana Tech, Millsaps.

Teams starting football this year have found the going rough to say the least, with only a handful coming through with enviable records. Foremost In tills latter group are the Il.irdin-Simmons Cowboys from Abilene, Texas. To date they have won seven straight games, to stay In the thinning list of unbeaten and untied teams. Once-mighty Fordham Is on the other ide of the ledger with four straight defeats and only two touchdowns aganlst llfi opposing points.

jFurman made out a tough schedule for their comeback year, but has absorbed Its beatings by the week, including a 70-0 loss to Georgia. The list is long and the loss record of teams coming back this year far outshadows the winning column. Which proves that a comeback Into football Is no easy task, and must be well planned and well executed or. It will probably backfire.
