If your male ancestor played football for the Glasgow Scotties in 1927, this I think will be interesting. I have a list of the players and their official "nicknames" on the team. Players included: Loren 'Slick" NELSON Hershell "Fanny" AUSTIN Harold "Old Devil" HARPST Bill "Hoot" VAUGHAN (mascot) Mitchell "Pap" TAYLOR John Uri "Nellie" NELSON Francis "Sunshine" JACKSON Bernard "Peck" JONES Oren "Dink" NELSON Arthur "Mudeyes" BROOKS Garland "Butter" REYNOLDS William "Big Bill" DICKINSON Paul "Bear" TUCKER Ralph "Socker" HAMMER Johnny JONES Frank McGLOCKLIN Charles "Feets" GOODMAN Raymond D RIDLEY (head coach) James Freeman TANNER (assistant coach) Arthur MATTHEWS Billy PEDIGO Lawrence "Dusty" MILLER Edmund "Hezzie" SMITH Billy Sam TERRY Paul "Fox" HOLMAN Henry Clay "Buzz" BARTON D. Crawford LYNN (assistant coach) Robert "Nuts" VAUGHAN I guess a few "escaped" without nicknames! Sandi SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
