Next Page is of Red Cagle: Christian Keener "Red" Cagle, 1905-1942, Of Calcasieu Parish, LA (space does not permit a complete account of the football exploits of Chris "Red" Cagle, but the following excerpt, from The Story of Football, by Robert Leckie (Random House, 1965), pp. 150-51, will serve as an example of the impact which he had on college football in the late 1920s. Army--Navy Game, 1926 In 1925 Navy fielded the finest team it had ever had. This was the eleven which many experts thought should have been the national champions rather than Alabama. The Middlies had two all Americas, halfback Tom Hamilton who would later be a fine Navy coach, and Frank Wickhorst at tackle. Army also had two, the great halfback "Lighthorse Harry" Wilson and tackle Bud sprague, as well as a young halfback Chris Cagle,. Even so, Navy was still favored as the two teams met to dedicate Chicago's new Soldier Field before a record throng of 110,000 persons. As expected, Navy stomed to a 14-0 lead midway in the second period. It looked like a rout. But before the half was over the score was tied at 14-14. Between them , Wilson and Cagle tore Navy's line apart and Lighthorse Harry plunged over for the score. Then an Army punt struck the Navy safety's shoulder. It bounced off the knee of the covering Army end, Norris Harbold, and went rolling toward Army's end, Norris Harbold, and went rolling toward Army's goal 25 yards away. Harbold pursued it, cought it and went stumbling over the goal for a touchdown. As the second half opened, Wilson raced 17 yards. Chris Cagle, took the ball next, broke loose, reversed his field and danced 43 yards for a touchdown. Now Army led, 21-14. The Cadets fought furiously to protect that lead. They were still ahead with only four minutes to go when they decided to pass! Alan shapley intercepted for Navy and the Tars were back in the game. But they wre tired. Some of them doubted if they could back, until Wickhorst called time out and pleaded with them to turn the tide. They cought fire. Blocking furously they drove down to the Army 8-yard line. There, Navy called for a double reverse, with shapley carrying, and he swept around end for the score. There was thunder in soldier Field, but it gradually died down to a hushed silence as Tom Hamilton Stood waiting for the pass from center and the kick went between the uprights . The greatest cliff-hanger in Army-Navy history ended in a tie . (and ther is a photo of him at the bottom. (page 328) If anyone needs it there is a 1900 Calcasiue ,LA census record with children listed on another page , if you need it I will send it to you. Do not understand any thing I just copied down but I'm sure the rest of you do. Haha Nancy jane Tarzana, Ca. April --part1_e900439b.24994f47_boundary--
