C. Gardiner Lyon Affidavit
Affidavit
To whom it may concern,
I, C. Gardiner Lyon, played left-end on the College of
Emporia Foot-ball team in the years of 1910 and 1911. Bill Hargiss was our
coach. In 1910 we used the forward pass as an integral part of our offense,
the Quarter-back starting with the ball passing to an end or half-back. In
1910 Bill also gave us the "Hike" play where we lined up and then when quarter-back
yelled Hike we shifted to an unbalanced line.
In 1910, mainly with use of these two plays we beat Bill's
old Alma Mater, the Kansas Normal.
