There has always been trouble with the University of Louisiana scoreboard clock, or its equivalent, if you can believe early correspondence between early athletic director C.J. McNaspy and the Spalding company in New Orleans.

In October 1912, an upset McNaspy wrote to the sporting goods suppliers:

“I am sending you by today’s mail one Lawson football timer. This instrument is a joke and has run about thirty minutes since we bought it. If this is the best this timer can do, keep it. If you sell a timer that is really some good, replace this one. We have trouble enough in paying for good supplies without buying toys.”

Came the reply from W.W. Nail, manager of A.G. Spalding Brothers, 140 Carondelet St., New Orleans: “We regret exceedingly that this instrument proved defective and are today referring your letter to our Chicago House for attention. In our communication to them we asked that they supply you with a better grade timer, if possible. This is the only timer we catalogue — but we thought it might be possible that they could secure for you a better timer than the one recently shipped. As a general rule we do not have much trouble with this timer, occasionally we have one returned, but not very often. We are sorry that you were so unfortunate to secure a ‘BUM’ one and trust that we will succeed in having a first class timer delivered to you very shortly.”

Morgan City don't want none!

I think we need to get a little revenge on tulane
and beat them 96-0 this year

+1

I'll settle for a victory and scoring 52 which would beat the 51 scored the first time UL beat Tulane.

UL is 4-5 the last 9 games, BALDWIN lost by "1" the last time UL played them.

This is the 101st year of the rivalry and the 100 year anniversary of UL's worst loss to Tulane.

A victory will pull UL even in the last 10 games . . .

It's easy to see, this group didn't have "the juice".
