People in he Oklahoma Terriory were excied by he prospecs of having fooball in he area, bu no one really undersood how he game was played. The Kendall eam didn even acually have a coach in ha firs season. A young ransfer suden from Springfield, Missouri, named Norman Leard sepped up o he ask. Alhough here was no score recorded, Kendall College won he only game he eam played ha year. Fooball sruggled o gain is prominence a he college. The college played only 19 games beween 1900 and No eams were fielded in 1903, 1904, 1906,1907 or Kendall College s reappearance on he collegiae fooball scene in 1912 came a a ime when he game iself was becoming modernized. New rules alered he game. Offenses were allowed four downs o make 10 yards. The lengh of he playing field was reduced from 110 o 100 yards, and mos imporanly, he 20-yard limi on forward passes was removed. By 1914, he resurrecion of Kendall College fooball was in full swing and wo men helped spur ha along. Sam McBirney, a Tulsa banker, and Francis Schmid came on he scene. In 1914, McBirney led he eam o a 7-2 record wih five shuou vicories, and followed ha season wih a record in I wasn jus McBirney who jump-sared he fooball program. Ivan Grove, who was one player insrumenal in building he he Kendall fooball program, was he key o undefeaed seasons of 1916 and He quarerbacked he Presbyerians from 1914 hrough 1916, and again in 1919 During he 1916 season, Grove and receivers Virgil Jones and Madison Puny Blevins developed he conroversial ower play. The play called for Jones and Blevins o sprin down field, Blevins would sop, lif Jones ono his shoulders, and Grove would oss he ball o Jones. A ha ime, here were no rules agains such a play Bu i only worked once for he Kendallies in a hrashing of Missouri School of Mines. Tha was he ype of dominaion The firs season ha fooball Kendall experienced in The season wore numerals on ended wih Kendall producing an undefeaed 10-0 record, and laying claim o heir jerseys was in he unofficial ile of sae champions. While he eam urned in heir uniforms ha season, a few Tulsa businessmen waned one more game for he Kendall eam, agains he fabulous Irish of Nore Dame. How close Kendall came o playing Nore Dame in he finale of he 1916 season probably will never be known, bu a definie move was underway wih some of he own s wealhies oilmen reporedly backing he promoion. Prior o he 1917 season, McBirney wen back o his bank, and Schmid, an assisan coach under McBirney, wen o figh in World War I, as did a number of. As a resul, he 1917 season was a rough one for Kendall College. Hal Medford ook he coaching reins, bu enrollmen dropped drasically as did he male populaion. Wih only wo varsiy available, Medford ook he iniiaive o recrui from Kendall Academy o fill he roser. The eam had many weak areas and Medford had a hard ime finding o srenghen hose areas. The eam wen wihou a win, hus i was called he season ha fell vicim o he Kaiser s war. By 1919, he Presbyerians were back in full force and primed for a comeback.

The eam played nine games, bu only hree were seen as serious hreas Oklahoma, Oklahoma A&M and Arkansas. The powerful Kendall eam wih Grove, John Young, Benon Springer, Harry Miller and Vergil Jones back in 1919, pummeled is firs opponen, Oklahoma Bapis. Kendall scored 22 ouchdowns and 20 conversions o amass a vicory. Tulsa wen on o defeaed wo of is main rivals, including 27-0 agains Oklahoma and a 63-7 vicory over Arkansas. Tulsa and Oklahoma A&M ied 7-7. By he urn of he cenury, Henry Kendall College was on he map as a eam o reckon wih on he fooball field. The Glorious Twenies Schmid ook Henry Kendall College ino he new decade wih anoher undefeaed season in 1920, he hird such season in he brief of he school. Kendall ouswcored is in 1920, 621 o 21 poins. As he decade progressed, changes ranging from coaching o he name of he universiy iself alered he face of Kendall fooball. The firs hing o change was he acual name of he universiy. On February 8, 1921, The Universiy of Tulsa was born. The adminisraion of Kendall College believed ha by aking on he name of he ciy, more suppor from is ciizens would follow. This change was me wih ime increases in donaions, hus proving is effeciveness. Schmid, who led he 1921 eam o a 6-3 record, was preparing for he 1922 season when he was named he head coach a he Universiy of Arkansas. Ener he name Howard Acher. When he ook over he posiion, Acher saw grea poenial in his eam and waned o publicize i by creaing a new ideniy wih a new nickname. Spors wriers and ohers had called he school by any number of names from he Presbyerians o he Orange and Black, o he Kendallies. Afer an opening day win agains a srong Texas Chrisian Universiy eam in 1922, Acher pu his mind o work. The press had claimed ha he Kendall fooball eam blew hrough is like a ornado. So, i figured ha Tornadoes, would be he nickname wih golden added o idenify he color of he uniforms. However, i was laer found ha Georgia Tech had claimed ha name, so from ornado i was evolved meeorologically o a hurricane. Thus he squad voed, and he name Golden Hurricane became he new eam monker wih he gold added because of he jersey color. TU lived up o is nickname as he Golden Hurricane blew hrough he Texas A&M defense in he nex game wih pass afer pass from quarerback Rex Thomas. TU won is firs game as he Golden Hurricane by a score of A perfec 9-0 record in was followed wih wo sraigh losing seasons, and afer he 1924 season Acher resigned his posiion as head coach. His replacemen was quie a shock o everyone as Elmer Gloomy Gus Henderson was chosen o ake over he coaching reins. The selecion of Henderson wasn as much of a surprise as was his accepance of he offer. He was coming from a program a he Universiy of Souhern California where, one All American was in he game, and his subsiue on he bench was an All American. No one could undersand why he would leave such a program. Bu he reason COACH FRNKA PICTURED WITH GLENN DOBBS, Only 12 fooball was simple, his lucraive conrac a Tulsa.

His firs few seasons resuled in 13 wins and four losses, and by 1927, Golden Hurricane fooball was well on is way o recovery. In 1928, prosperiy in America and he success of Tulsa fooball, inspired Henderson o dream of a new sadium. He ook his dream o he rich oilmen of Tulsa, and hey suppored i. A shor ime laer, Henderson saw his dream come rue. The Universiy of Tulsa fooball eam had a new home o go along wih he new philosophy and nickname. Tulsa Fooball Ges a New Home The 1930 season saw Coach Henderson s dream of a new home for Tulsa fooball became a realiy. Though he Depression had hi hard, he need for a new sadium was growing by he day. McNuly Park, he original home of he Golden Hurricane, had become archaic by modern collegiae sandards. In acualiy, i was a baseball field ha only measured 90 yards. This mean eams had o cross he goal line once, place he ball back on he 10 yard line, and cross he goal line again in order o score. By 1930, he new sadium had been approved and funding for he $300,000 projec had been acquired, so here could be no sopping. The sadium was buil o hold 15,000 specaors, and he norh and souh ends were lef open for fuure growh. Capaciy now sands a 40,235. The sadium was named afer William G. Skelly, a local oilman, who donaed $125,000 o he projec. The balance was raised by Tulsa businessmen by organizing he Sadium Corporaion of Tulsa. The sadium was dedicaed a he 1930 season opener agains Arkansas. The Golden Hurricane chrisened heir new home wih a 26-6 vicory TULSA FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 131

He was one of he Hurricane s mos prolific passers himself, so i s no wonder he brough his aerial philosophy back o Tulsa. Under Dobbs guidance, he Hurricane offense passed 52 percen of he ime, well above he 29 percen Tulsa s were averaging.
