How Many Jersey Numbers of Winners Can You Name?

By John Shearer

About four years ago, I wrote a story about the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners have worn.

I decided to write the article after noticing that 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor wore No. 10, and I began wondering which other Heisman Trophy winners wore that number.

That started an online search, and I was able to find everyone’s number, or at least a number the player wore during part of his career.

I wrote the story in chronological order by year and mentioned the jersey number with each player, but someone emailed me and said he would like to see a story if I ever listed the Heisman Trophy winners in numerical order.

After I thought about it, an article written that way would make for a more The College Football Historian-2 -

interesting story. So, here it is – four years later as the bowl season is back in full swing.

See what numbers seem easily recognizable to you, or what surprises you have over the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners of long ago wore.

As a alumnus who was in school in the early 1980s, I will likely never forget what number 1982 winner wore, just as many Auburn fans will never forget that 1985 recipient wore the same No. 34.

But I have already almost forgotten that 2010 winner wore No. 2 at Auburn, not the No. 1 he now wears for the . And who remembers that 1988 winner wore No. 21 at State, even though he became more famous for donning No. 20 for the Lions?

But a few Heisman winners – , , O.J. Simpson, and among them – wore the same jersey numbers in college that they did or do as pro players.

Can you guess what two jersey numbers have claimed the most Heisman Trophy winners to date at five apiece? Or do you know what numbers have never been worn by a winner?

Also, did you know that 20 of the Heisman Trophy winners have been the only recipients to wear those numbers so far?

Do you know that current Heisman winner of Alabama switched this season to No. 2 from No. 27 because God and his family are the ―two‖ reasons he plays football? It also happened to be his high school number.

And, for fans, do you know what number 1997 winner of Michigan wore while edging out ? It was not the same as the No. 24 he now wears in his last season with the Oakland Raiders before his retirement.

1947: Southern @ Grambling

When Eddie Robinson became at Grambling in 1946, the rural school in north central LA had never beaten Southern of Baton Rouge on the gridiron. There were many reasons for this.

• Southern had started its football program in 1915 while Grambling didn't begin until 1926. So when the schools started playing each other in 1933, Southern won the first three games by a combined 93-0.

The College Football Historian-5 -

• , considered by some as the Harvard of Southern black colleges, was started by the legislature in 1880 in and moved to Baton Rouge in 1914.

• Founded in 1901 as an agricultural school, Grambling State was a quasi-public institution for many years, not becoming a four-year college until 1943.

• "They were the big school and the most powerful in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC)," Robinson said of the Baton Rouge school coached by one of the early giants of black football, "Ace" Mumford, for whom Southern's stadium is named.

• The series had aspects of a class war: the more sophisticated, better educated blacks of Southern vs the country blacks from Grambling.

• A Baton Rouge native, Robinson said, "Southern used to treat Grambling like the little brother. There were times when they were not interested in playing us." To add to the disparity, most of the administrators and professors at Grambling were Southern grads.

Robinson lost his first Southern game in 1946, 38-0. He used Southern as the benchmark to measure the improvement of his program. He also knew that his Tigers would probably have to defeat the Jaguars multiple times to earn an invitation to join SWAC.

When the Tigers defeated the Jaguars 21-6 in 1947, "they were really upset," said Robinson. "As far as games go, that 1947 game was really the Big Game for Eddie Robinson," according to Collie Nicholson, longtime sports information director at Grambling. "They came into Grambling highly touted, the SWAC champ, and we beat them with two long runs. It was something they thought could never be done."

Southern won the 1948 game, 18-0, but a "huge fight" that broke out caused a cease fire in the series for eleven years and postponed acceptance of Grambling by SWAC. So the Tigers joined the Midwest Conference.

The College Football Historian-6 -

Robinson produced his first undefeated, untied team in 1955. Finally, Grambling joined SWAC in 1959.

FOOTBALL COACHES MUST OCCUPY BENCH

New York, Feb. 7.—The intercollegiate football rules committee decide today that hereafter coaches should be barred from, the side lines. That was the most radical change in the rules adopted at the meeting today, which was one of the shortest in the committee's history.

The rescinding of the rule which permits one player or coach of a team to walk along the side lines of the field will necessitate the coaches remaining on the bench with the substitutes. It was decided to abolish the obsolete rule which permitted the ball to be put into play from a touchback by a kick out from the line. Following the suggestion of , teams were given the optional right to use a fourth official in their games if they desired. This official will be known as "field judge." The College Football Historian-8 -

Other changes penalize for five yards a team whose player or players are out of bounds when the ball is snapped on first offense Instead of second, as heretofore, and make it obligatory for the team losing the toss to kick off when the winners elect to defend a given goal. Also the definition of roughing the full back was clarified.

The appointment of the following members to the central board of officials was announced: J. A. Babitt, chairman; Walter Camp, C. W. Savage, Parke Davis, E.K. Hall, Percy Houghton, H. G. Cope and A. A. Stagg.

Other changes were as follows: intentional grounding of a will be penalized by the loss of 10 yards from the point of scrimmage.

When the ball from a free kick hits a goal post and bounces back into the field, the play is counted as a touchback.

After the teams line up the team having the ball shall not enter the neutral none in shift formation.

A player out of bounds when the ball is put in play penalizes his team by the loss of five yards. Under the old rule there was no for this offense, the first time it was committed. The committee left it optional with teams to decide whether they shall have a fourth official, to be known as field judge, who shall have no specific duties of his own, but act as assistant to the referee and umpire.

The committee reached no decision regarding the question of distinguishing player in games by numbers. The members concluded to observe how this plan worked out next season before making any recommendations.

Parke Davis Football Historian

BY HOWARD A. GIDDINGS [Photograph by the Author]

Do you want to know who made the long in the Yale-Princeton game in 1897 and the exact length of the run? Ask Parke Davis. Do you desire the names of the men who made the in the game between Beloit and Lawrence in 1898? Ask Parke Davis. Are you curious about any other small fact in the history of , or college sport generally? Parke Davis is the man for you. He is the historian of the gridiron game. His memory, supplemented by his files, have let no smallest fact escape.

Parke Davis's football began in the High School at Jamestown, N. Y., and continued at Princeton in the early nineties. He was left in 1890 under the captaincy of Edgar Allen Poe and for the next two years was left and right tackle, respectively. But that was just the beginning. His real football career began after graduation.

For a year he was director of athletics at the University of Wisconsin, beating Michigan in football and assisting in the formation of the Western Intercollegiate Athletic Association, his team taking second place in the first games. In '94 he was coach at Amherst and from '95 to '98 was director of athletics at Lafayette, putting that college very firmly on the football and map. In 1896 Lafayette, under his coaching, tied his own alma mater on the gridiron and beat . The next spring his baseball team won against Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Pennsylvania.

For the past six years he has been a member of the Football Rules Committee. It was at his suggestion that interlocked interference was abolished in 1910 and he was one of the authors of the rule establishing the forward pass zone. For the past twenty years he has been a power in Princeton coaching councils.

But it is as a historian that he is best known. His statistical contributions are features of the Guide and his book on "Football, The American Intercollegiate Game" is standard. Incidentally he is a practicing lawyer at Easton, Pa., from The College Football Historian-20-

1901 to 1904 was district attorney, Secretary of the state Democratic Committee from 1901 to 1903, and Democratic candidate for judge in 1907. http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA368&lpg=PA368&dq=american%20football%20historians&sig=8KtEL3PNv9qH07l0Sy HDyvU3lz4&ei=EbuZS9fvIsT48AaGrK3KCg&ct=result&id=w1BhAAAAIAAJ&ots=zC3OjDDMpN&output=text
