Great ESPN Veteran's Day Story

Georgia Tech's first football star has a heckuva story to tell


A day late, but this is a great article about Georgia Tech's first football "star," Leonard Wood, a physician and highly decorated (Medal of Honor) Army veteran before, during, and after his tenure at Tech. (He actually commanded the Rough Riders; Teddy Roosevelt was his second in command.) The sections about football describe how the game has changed (in some ways, not all that much) over the years.

I think I have a 2-Volume biography of him on my shelf (really a small bookcase that isn't big enough) of old books.
