108 Seasons Ago Clemson Football Finished 6-2 in 1917

Clemson returns to a winning season. A 6-2 record certainly beat the 3-6 record from the previous season!
Meanwhile:
Germany sends encoded messages to Mexico to take up arms against the USA if the Americans were to join the war. They promised to return Texas, New Mexico, and California if Mexico would enter into this secret alliance.
Despite Germany’s efforts, the US does join the war in Europe. And Mexico remains a US ally – not a German one.
Overview:
According to Wikipedia:
“Under first-year head coach Edward Donahue, the team posted an overall record of 6–2 with a mark of 5–1 in SIAA play. F. L. Witsel was the team captain.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_Clemson_Tigers_football_team
As for Head Coach Edward Donahue:
According to Wikipedia:
“He served as the head football coach at Clemson University from 1917 to 1920, compiling a record of 21–12–3 (.625). He also served as the school's basketball and baseball coach, as well as the track coach.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Donahue
Head Coach Edward Donahue:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Donahue)
Of Note:
According to ClemsonWiki:
October 25: Clemson defeats South Carolina in Columbia, 21-13, during a 6-2 season. The Gamecocks go 3-5.
November 1: The Tigers down Wofford, 27-16, in a road trip.
November 8: In a game played at Orangeburg, South Carolina, Clemson shuts out the Citadel Bull Dogs, 20-0.
November 17: The Tigers whup up on Florida, 55-7, in match played in Jacksonville, Florida.
https://clemsonwiki.com/wiki/1917
And according to ClemsonTigers.com:
Oct. 13, 1917 – Clemson downed Furman 38-0, as the Tigers’ Stumpy Banks scored five touchdowns, a record that still stands today.
https://clemsontigers.com/clemson-football-historical-timeline/
As noted yesterday:
Banks is one of Clemson’s all-time great players! After graduating from Clemson he later served as athletic director for Claflin University.
Stumpy Banks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stumpy_Banks
Results:
September 28 Presbyterian* W 13–0
October 13 at Furman W 38–0
October 19 Auburn L 0–7
October 25 at South Carolina W 21–13
November 1 at Wofford W 27–16
November 8 vs. The Citadel (Orangeburg) W 20–0
November 17 vs. Florida (Jacksonville) W 55–7
November 29 vs. Davidson* L 9–21
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_Clemson_Tigers_football_team
And (like clockwork) yet another win over the hapless Chickens.
Clemson now led the series with the Gamechickens 11-3-1.
1917 Clemson Football:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_Clemson_Tigers_football_team)
Also in 1917:
Germany attempted to persuade Mexico to fight against the US if the US were to enter the war. According to Wikipedia:
“The Zimmermann telegram (or Zimmermann note or Zimmermann cable) was a secret diplomatic communication issued from the German Foreign Office on January 17, 1917, that proposed a military contract between the German Empire and Mexico if the United States entered World War I against Germany. With Germany's aid, Mexico would recover Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. The telegram was intercepted by British intelligence.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_telegram
This attempt failed! According to History.state.gov:
“On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson went before a joint session of Congress to request a declaration of war against Germany. Wilson cited Germany’s violation of its pledge to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, as well as its attempts to entice Mexico into an alliance against the United States, as his reasons for declaring war. On April 4, 1917, the U.S. Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany. The House concurred two days later. The United States later declared war on German ally Austria-Hungary on December 7, 1917.”

Over there. Send the word – over there! That the Yanks are coming!

HeyPig®, do a night out, I recommend the Slippery Otter in West Yellowstone, MT.
Great atmosphere and their bison burger is awesome!
Enjoy your trip!
