These stories originally appeared in "The Daily Advertiser's History of Acadiana by Jim Bradshaw: Beginning Traditions," published May 26, 1998. Keener Cagle put program on map Even the New York sports writers took notice in 1924, when the Southwestern Bulldog football team claimed a world record. This was the heyday of Christian Keener Cagle, a kid from the little town of Merryville in Beauregard Parish, who was arguably the best football player ever to set foot on the collegiate gridiron here. He was an incredible broken-field runner, but that was not what the world record was all about. John B. Foster wrote about it in the New York Sun: “In 1924, Southwestern, with a total of 125 forward passes, completed 67 successfully. That is a percentage of 53.5, and the students and coaches of the institute are quite sure that they made a world's record when they did it. Anyhow, they have claimed the record for proficiency in that respect and if there is any other college in the United States which can produce better figures the Southwestern Boys would like to see them. “In making these plays some good work was done by the Louisiana boys who have never seen any Northern football in their lives. Cagle was their best passer. Look at this for an individual record made by him: “Against Louisiana Poly he passed 50 yards to Wagner Ruger for a touchdown, no run being necessary. Against Jefferson College, 35 yards passed to Alton Bujard, who ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Against the Pensacola Aviators, 30 yards to Alton Bujard, who ran 10 yards for a touchdown. Against Sam Houston Normal, passed 25 yards to Wagner Ruger, who ran 16 yards for a touchdown. Against Pensacola Aviators, passed 29 yards to Clifton Theriot for a touchdown without run. Against South Park College, passed 10 yards to Alton Bujard, who ran three yards for a touchdown. Against South Park College, passed 10 yards to Alton Bujard, who made a touchdown without running. “All told, Cagle passed 199 yards in seven plays, which made as many touchdowns, and that is surely football of a high degree of skill, even if the Louisiana boys did not play against big elevens. They surely had all they could do in their own class and proved their fitness against teams which they were qualified to meet. “The distinct French atmosphere in the names of the players also has an interesting aside to it. While the French have never dipped very successfully into baseball, and this is the case among the descendants of the French Colonists in Louisiana as well as in many other sections, they have always shown ability to play football. They have proved their skill in football in France because it is the only game which has been taken into France by outsiders that has made much headway." In that 1924 season, SLI lost to Tulane (14-0) and LSU (31-7), tied Pensacola Navy (21-21), and beat Jefferson (66-0), Sam Houston State (28-7), Louisiana College (32-7), Lamar (20-8), Louisiana Tech (22-13) and Louisiana State Normal (24-7). In only 61 carries that year, Cagle rushed for 752 yards. He hit 20 of 25 drop-kick field goals, and, as claimed, led the nation, and world, in passing percentage. He went on to further fame as an All-American and Player of the Year at Army, making the cover of Time magazine on Sept. 23, 1929. Then, as a player for the New York football Giants and as part owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he became the toast of New York alongside Babe Ruth and other huge heroes of the day. But then, on an bitter December day in 1942, Cagle slipped on icy subway steps in New York, fell, and fractured his skull. He contracted pneumonia while he lay recuperating from that injury. He was only 37 years old when he died. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

I found the following on the Web today. I thought it was interesting and maybe you other football officiatoes may enjoy it as well: pg 8, The Harve Daily News, Harve, MT, May 14, 1930 Records Reveal Cagle Married Two Years Ago: Immediate dismissal of famous grid star from West Point predicted by Army officials. West Point, NY, May 13 API: Cadet Christian Keener Cagle resigned today from the US Military Academy after presenting a certificate saying he was married. The resignation was requested by Maj Gen William R Smith, superintendent of the Academy, and was forwarded at once to the War Dept, Washington, DC. New Orleans, LA, May 13, API: Records in the court of Gretna, Jefferson Parish, LA today revealed that Christian Keener Cagle, "Red Head" Army football star and Miss Marion Munford Haile, a pretty auburn haired girl of New Roads, LA were married on Aug 25, 1928. The marriage was performed by George J Trauth, Justice of the Peace of Gretna who went back through his records of seven years and located the certificate. Each gave their ages as 23 years. Cagle gave his address as New Orleans and his bride's address as Baton Rouge. Witnesses to the marriage were Garnett Todd II, and Daniel Whitney. The marriage certificate shows that the brides father is deceased. Her mother is Mrs Valentine Herbert Haile. Mrs Cagle left yesterday on a visit to New York. Academy officials including Maj Gen William R Smith, Commadant, were not prepared to take official action or make any official statement but the indications were that Cagle would be called summarily to account. Information concerning Cagle's marriage to Miss Haile on August 25, 1928 contained in an API dispatch was the first detailed evidence received at West Point. It was understood that following investigation of rumors, Cagle had explicitly denied being married. Marriage by any cadet is strictly prohibited by the regulations and after leave or furlough he is obliged to sign a certificate guaranteeing he has done nothing in violation of the rules. It was recalled Cagle overstayed a Christmas Holiday furlough in 1928 and was disciplined by assignment to three months extra guard duty. The announcement of the marriage, kept secret for two years, surprised relatives of Cagle as it did his wide circle of followers on the grid iron, with the exception of a few close friends. West Point, NY, May 13, API: Immediate dismissal of Christian Keener Cagle from the Military Academy was forecast today by officials, following news dispatches confirming reports of the Army football Captain's marriage nearly two years ago in violation of Army regulations.

Sorry about that but all I can really tell you is that This list is from Burke County North Carolina and that the information I got was from someone in the family but they did not tell me any birth dates or ages sorry.

The birth dates/ages of the oldest people you have listed here and the County and State in which they were born sure would be helpful. Might be able to figure something out from there.
