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 New
comb'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 scuff 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 "off-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 difficult. This was called "guardjng.'' Gradually these men advanced in from of rhe runners and
IULANt;'S
NJATION� OF TWIC-
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.

NEVER PAil�HED
NEVER TOASTED
CAMELS are always FRESH! SWITCH to Camels and learn the mildness of a fresh,
cool- burning cigarette. A blend of choice Turkish
and mellow, sun-ripened Domestic tobaccos, Camels are
never parched or toasted. That's why we say smoke them
for one day, then leav<:: them-if you can.
