Good point. I've seen the 1925 Spaulding promo sheet and he wasn't on there?
Another interest fact is besides the 1st halftime shows ... the Oorang's started the 1st training camp. It seems many attributed Thorpe's stamina to hunting. I had a discussion with my Daughter's boyfriend. There are still people today that hunt with dogs in the mountains and tough terrain, but they have a RF/GPS tag in today's world. In order for Thorpe to keep up with those Airedale's he had to be extremely fast and agile. Reminds me of Rocky Balboa trying to catch those Chickens as part of training. An Airedale is #9 out of the top 20 fastest dog breeds.
