The tradition of keen competition, spirit, and pride has long been a hallmark of JSU sports and can nowhere be seen as vividly as in a look at the heritage of football on the campus. With teams dating back to 1904, the institution has produced one page after another in the scrapbook of great football. Opponents have increased in power over the years, from the time Jacksonville State Normal School defeated Alabama Presbyterian in 1908 to the triumphant night in 1977 when the Gamecocks defeated North Dakota State in the Grantland Rice Bowl. With a history of excellent coaches like Ben Harris in the early 1900's, Don Sails in the 40's and 50s, and Charley Pell in the 70s, football at Jacksonville has brought forth some of the finest teams anywhere—teams that have traveled to games like the 1950 Paper Bowl and the 1966 Space City Classic. Conference titles have been won, players have gone on to the pros, and a pair of Lett boys have broken all school records. Little did the members of those early century teams know about the champions who would emerge in the decades to come. 6

Montgomery 1942 1970 1971-1981 1981-present Leading the way through the century, nine presidents forged a path for one hundred years of growth. In the early years before Jacksonville State Normal School became a teachers college, their leadership, perseverance, and vision carried the small, struggling institution through. Later years saw the culmination of that earlier, valiant labor. Incoming presidents were able to take the brave initiative of those before, complete it with their own determination and vi- sion, and emerge with the makings of a truly strong institution. That institution has weathered the years and now stands a proud testimonial to the men formerly at its helm—men who knew the task before them, took it with a dedication and fervor unprecedented, and forged the path now open to the president in 1983 and- those of the century to come.
