He was synonomous with "Big Thursday" and he never played on a team that lost to South Carolina. It was said that "Stumpy has become almost as much a part of the tradition of Big Thursday as the governor's crossing at halftime." He saw his first Clemson- South Carolina game in 1909 and first carried the chain in 1920. He only missed three games until his death in 1961. Banks was awarded an extra year of play due to the World War effect on eligibility, and he went on to become one of Clemson's greatest backs.

Taylor M. (Mac) Folger, football and Donahue said Gee "ranks easily with the best centers in the south" prior to the opening of the 1917 season. The Tigers went on to compile a 6-2 that year. Gee, a veteran of both World Wars where he rose to rank of colonel, spent most of his life in the education field, serving as president of East Texas State University in Commerce, Texas, from Sept. 1, 1947 until Sept. 1, 1966. Prior to that the Union native, who received his master's from Cornell and his doctor of philosophy degree from Peabody, taught at Sam Houston State and also served as its acting president, was head of the Department of Agricul- ture Education at Florida before return- ing to serve as Clemson's athletic di- rector for three years in 1927. In his 19-year tenure as president, East Texas State experienced its greatest period of academic and physi- cal growth, going from an evaluation of $1 .8 million to over $20 million. Banks entered Clemson in 1 91 4 as a Mutt Gee 105-pound quarterback, and although Stumpy Banks Woods has been called by former Clemson football coach Frank Howard "by far the best center who has played here." He played this position three sea- sons (1936-38), receiving a BS degree in mechanical engineering in 1939. During his football career at Clem- son he was named to the All-South and the All-Southern teams in 1937 and was all-state in 1937 and 1938. He served as captain of the 1938 team -1 which was 7-1 . In Woods' three years of varsity competition the Tigers were 16-10-2. Woods joined the Bailey Meter Company of Cleveland, Ohio, upon graduation and was associated with this firm until 1941 when he entered service. He rose to the rank of major, being discharged in 1946.
