  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.

  • §TORY by Lloyd E
    YJEIJE YJEID)JMIJEYN §TORY by Lloyd E. Klos Ted Meyn, a theatre organist whose work took him to several areas of the United States, was born in 1901 in Kansas City, Kansas. From his debut in show business in 1907 until his retirement in the sixties, his life was one adventure after another, but all so interesting that Ted agreed to work with the writer in preparing his biog­ raphy for publication in "THEATRE ORGAN." Ted Meyn's introduction to en­ tertainment began at the tender age of six, on the stage of one of his father's six nickelodians. It was not at a piano or organ, but as a participant in an amateur night, and in the most daring fashion. Tom Daley, a tight-wire acrobat and escape artist, attempted to dem­ onstrate his skill with a machete in splitting a potato atop a volunteer's head. Having seen the performer prac­ tice this feat on a block of wood, Ted leaped to the stage. The potato was placed on his head, the audience sat Ted Meyn at the console of his one-man-trio instrument with which he made appearances throughout the east in the late fifties and early sixties. Third manual controls the Wurlitzer in deathly silence, until one swish of electric piano. - (Meyn collection) the blade split the potato. Ted bowed to the audience which went wild over butcher, selling peanuts, popcorn, stead of "Hearts and Flowers " while his bravery. Daley got first prize, a Cracker Jack, and chewing gum, up little Eva was dying, he would have $5 gold piece, but Ted merely got a and down the aisles.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE KNOXVILLE AN INTERVIEW WITH CLINTON E. RIDDLE FOR THE VETERAN’S ORAL HISTORY PROJECT CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF WAR AND SOCIETY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY INTERVIEWED BY G. KURT PIEHLER SETH M. WOMACK DUNFORD HALL MARCH 19, 2002 TRANSCRIPT BY SETH M. WOMACK REVIEWED BY CARRIE DAVISSON MAGGIE L.YANCEY G. KURT PIEHLER: This begins an interview with Clinton Riddle on March 20, 2002 in Knoxville, Tennessee with Kurt Piehler and … SETH WOMACK: Seth Womack. PIEHLER: I’d like to just begin with a very formal question. When were you born and where were you born? CLINTON E. RIDDLE: I was born on February 24, 1921 in Loudon County. PIEHLER: And your parents—their names were Eva Grace Riddle and Samuel Elmer Riddle? RIDDLE: That’s correct. PIEHLER: And could you just tell me, I guess, a little about your parents? RIDDLE: My father was a farmer. That’s all he knew was farming, and my mother was a housewife. I was the only child and being the oldest and youngest in our family, they say the only child is petted! I disagree with that. (Laughter) But I grew up; I went to grammar school at the Luttrell School which is a country school up to the eighth grade. Then I started to school in Sweetwater, graduated from the eighth grade, went to Sweetwater high school, [and] graduated in 1941. The last year, senior year, I took Diversified Occupations. I took Department Store Management, and I worked at McKinney’s department store during the school year and the following summer up to Thanksgiving.
