From the bayous tO the gulfcides, you may hear our barde
song
When the autumn's glowing colors hangs o'er ripened
cane among
Lo' the clans are swifdy gathering nd Tulane comes
marching on
And the Green Wave· s rolling on.
Chorus:
Rolling, Rolling, Rolling Onward,
Rolling, Rolling, Rolling Onward,
Onward, Tulane's Rolling Onward
Oh, the Green Wave's Rolling On.
Loyal hosrs and maidens fair, all in Tulane's brave array,
Cheer the warriors inro battle for the jousting of the day.
We are true co Alma Macer, win or lose, or right or wrong
And the Green Wave's rolling on.
A westering gale is blowing, Pals, there's glory in the air.
Our banners gayly Raunc and wave in the hands of Newcomb's
fair,
Comes the surging pulse of battle and d1e will co ao and
dare,
And the Green Wave's rolling on.
The grand old Captain watches from his vantage in the
air,
And the flame of courage rises from "Old Hickory in the
Square,"
Hearcs of oak and men of valor, still achieve nor know
despair.
And the Green Wave's rolling on.
Onward Tulane, show your metde, stand your ground like
men of old,
Watch their Jines, bring down the boldest, all their srracegy
unfold.
Here they come now into batde, show the world the Tulane
mould,
And the Green Wave's rolling on.
Hold them Tulane, we are gaining, inch by inch, che
winning down,
Gallant runs and dauntless cackles soon will bring the
victor's crown,
By the Pioneers we'll crush them and we'll add to old
renown.
And the Green Wave's rolling on.
Hurrah! We gained the victory. There's old time warriors
yet.
'Tis the steadfast heart chat conquers, 'tis the scuf that
won Chalmette.
By tl1e Mississippi .Rowing, still bold lances shall be met.
And the Green Wave's rolling on.

Football's Opportunity
By MORGAN BLAKE
(Sports Editor, Atlanta Jotmu:tl)
While in New Orleans lace in September on a tour of
southern football camps for my paper I anended on Sunday
the Sr. Charles Baptise Church. There 1 was introduced w
a husl-.'}' young gentleman, pleasant faced and mild mannered.
His name was Lefcy Haynes.
1r was the first rime I had ever seen Lefcy with his hair
combed and in his Sunday go co meeting clothes. He bore
no resemblance co the shaggy lion of the grid, who was
the rerror of all opposition. Tulane's mighcy flankman of
1931 is teaching a Sunday school class for youngsrers at
the Sc. Charles church and needless to say the arrendance
is a hundred per cent aH the rime.
Destiny certainly handled Haynes in a srrange manner.
Absolutely unknown until the Vanderbilt game in his
senior year, Haynes in a half dozen battles became such a
formidable player that he was rated one of the grearesr ends
of the nation.
He played sixty seconds during the season of 1929 and
one quarter in the season of 1930. Up to his senior year
he was just one of the boys in the squad. Then like a
bright star in the heavens whose light bad just reached this
earthly sphere he blazed forth, and did a lion's share of the
job of making Tulane southern champions, and runner up
to the mighcy Trojans in the nation.
When Bernjc Bierman sene Haynes in for those sixcy
seconds in a minor game in his sophomore year, Bernie of
course, never dreamed that he was in6iccing a real disaster
co the Green Wave of 1932. Yet had this minute nor been
played Lefty would have been eligible for another year ac
his Alma Mater. And we imagine Ted Cox could use him.
1 was thrilled when I found chat one of the south's
greatest football heroes was reaching a class of boys and
seeking co point the way co them co a fine clean manhood.
lts a great responsibilicy co be a football hero and have
the youngsters worship you. A football hero counts more
with a kid chan all the preachers and professors in cown.
And when little fellows love and trust you, God picy the
man who is nor inspired ro sec an example for them.
Yes a football hero has a great responsibilicy. And also
a great opponunicy.
Hurrah for Lefcy Haynes!
The Evolution of Football
By PARKE H. DAVIS
One of the most interesting and surnng features of
of American Collegiate Football is the evolution of the
game itself. While other sports remain fixed in their rules
and operation from year co year, football has been and still
is in a fascinating change.
Our great sporr was founded by William S. Gummere
'79 of Princeton, who conceived the idea of an inrercollegiare
game of football berween Princeton and Rutgers, al·
though at that rime no such contest had been waged eirher
in England or America. He, thereupon invented a ser of
rules following the associarion pattern. He next inspired
William S. Legge« of Rutgers ro join him. Two reams
chen were organized and drilled and the game evenrually
played at New Brunswick, November 16, 1869, Rutgers
winning by six goals to Princeron's four. Leggett recently
died bur Gummere lives ro survey with pride the great
institution which he sec in morion. He is, coday, the Chief
Justice of the Stare of New Jersey.
Columbia joined Princeton and Rmgers in 1870. In
1872 Yale became an intercollegiate competitor, playing
and winning irs first game with Columbia, 3 ro 0, ar New
Haven, November 16, 1872. In 1874 David Roger, cap·
rain of the McGill Universicy ream ar Montreal, challenged
Harvard to a game of rugby. Havard had neither
played Rugby nor waged an intercollegiate game bur irs
captain, Henry R. Grant, accepted rhe d1a1lenge. This
historic game was played on Jarvis field at Cambridge,
May 15, L874, and resulted in a draw at 0 ro 0.
Harvard immediately after became a rugby playing instirurion
and in the fall of 1875 Nathaniel Curtis, captain
of Harvard, challenged Yale. The Blue's captain was
William A. Arnold, who immediately accepted. This game
was played ar New Haven on November 13, 1875, and resulted
in a vicrocy for Harvard 4 goals ro Yale's 0. Both
Mr. Curtis and Mr. Arnold are still living and keenly interested
in football.
Attending this game were rwo of Princeron's leading
players, Earle Dodge and Jotham Porter. Perceiving the
superioricy of the rugby sryle of play over rhe various
American versions of association, rhey rerurned ro Princeron
and substiruted rugby for the prevailing sryle of game.
Bur they did more. In the fall of 1876, on Thursday,
November 23rd, rhey assembled delegates from Columbia,
Harvard and Yale in the old Massoit House at Springfield,
where they formed the American Inrercollegiare Football
Association, adopted the Rugby Union Code of England as
their rules of play and scheduled a murual set of games.
The game adopted on that memorable day, filcy-five years
ago, with the many changes introduced during this long
period, is the game which you are watching roday.
Rugby in the beginning had fifteen players on a side.
These in 1870 were reduced ro eleven, rhe Eron number.
In the English game the ball was pur in play by a "serum."
This in 1881 was abolished and rhe American scrimmage
invenred. The players adjacenr co the ends ar first were
called "next-co-end" and the players at each side of the
center, "oexr-to-cenrer." Jc soon became noriced that the
"oexc-co-eods" made most of the tackles and so they came
co be called ac first "cacklers" and Iacer "cackles." Similarly,
ir was noticed char the "next-to-centers" guarded che cenrer
with their legs precisely as rhey do wday and so these
players were called the "guards."
In the early days there was no "of-side" interference.
1t was contrary to the rules. About 1885 a practice arose
of sending a man ar each side of the carrier co make tackling
from the side more dificult. This was called "guardjng.''
Gradually these men advanced in from of rhe runners and

rhus interference was created. The rugby styles of tackling,
above the waist only, lasted until 1887 when rbe knees were
made the restraining line. In the early '90s momentum
mass plays arose. These were plays in which as many as
reo men massed behind rhe line and srarced in motion
before the ball was put in play. These were outlawed during
thjs decade. In 1906 the forward pass was invenred
and introduced ioro the game in order to force tacticians
ro adopt open play. Thus, in every year since 1876 e.xcepring
1877 and 1878 and the World War years of 1918
and 1919 changes of some kind have been introduced inro
the game, unril today rhere is as much interest each fall in
the new changes in rhe FoorbalJ Rules as there are in faJI
hars, overcoats and shoes.
