Wofford / Wilmas [i.e., Welmas] (LOC)

    The name of the player on the right is "Wilmas", not "Williams". These may be members of the Carlisle Industrial School for Indians 1914 football team. . A write up in the New York Times of a game played between Carlisle and Brown on November 26, 1914 mentioned the names of Carlisle players named Wofford and Wallmas (or Welmas, spelled both ways in the article). At that time, the coach of Carlisle was Glenn "Pop" Warner. The date written at the top of both these photos is 11/14/14. On November 14, 1914, Carlisle played Notre Dame in Chicago, a game which the Indians lost 48-6.
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for catching the typo and pointing out alternate spellings of the name, as well as the date. We'll add information to the record when we update.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Yes, it's pretty clear these are players on the "Carlisle Indians" football team of 1914, coached by the not-yet-legendary Pop Warner. The monument to Warner on the Stanford campus: www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/4017400485/

    Jesse Wofford (mentioned as a 17 year old player) and Phil Welmas (this seems to be the actual spelling) are mentioned in this article about a game with Cornell:

    These fellas looked more sturdy than the average man of that era. I can see why they would make good football players.

    Many people who are Natie American consider the word "Squaw" racist and do not like it.

    Thanks for your comment. Our cataloging style is to transcribe period handwriting, when it is available, as the title. If no title is available, we use square brackets and create the title. Certainly, we would never create a title using a term that could be deemed offensive! We appreciate your taking the time to share this information.

    Back then, when this was written, little thought was given as to what was offensive or racist; it was what it was. Nowadays, it's a whole different situation with everyone trying to be PC.
  • Elite Bit said:
    Squaw sounds like an Indian word to me. Did some white guy sit down and say to himself "Hmmm, now what word can I dream up that sounds Indian for the word "woman" so that a hundred years from now I can tick off some Native American Indian?" I don't think so. We latinos used to have a slang word for the word "girl"; it was "rooka" and for guy it was "bato". I guess some PC latino out there will someday be offended by it. Good grief people let's grow up a litte.
