1917

pretty good read on Tech's title 100 years ago:

Heisman also had very dramatic views about his other profession. “The coach should be masterful and commanding, even dictatorial,” he wrote in his 1922 book, Principles of Football. “He has not the time to say please or mister. ... He must be severe, arbitrary, and a little short of a czar.” He forbade his players from taking hot showers. He encouraged them to eat raw meat. He shared a list of foods to avoid: fresh pork and veal, cabbage, all nuts, pepper and soups. He abhorred apples but did allow for ice cream breaks a few times a week.

interesting:

Even as the Wreck began to pile up victories—they beat Furman 25–0 and Wake Forest 33–0 on opening day (which is believed to be the only doubleheader in football history)—opponents weren’t sold on their greatness.
