Lewie Hardage
Lewis Woolford Hardage (February 11, 1891 – August 29, 1973) was an American college football player and college football and baseball coach.
Hardage was an All-Southern halfback every year he played: 1908, 1909, 1911, and 1912—the first two for Mike Donahue's Auburn Tigers of Auburn University and the latter two for Dan McGugin's Vanderbilt Commodores of Vanderbilt University. Sportswriter and historian Fuzzy Woodruff dubbed him "one of the most brilliant and famous ever to run across limed lines in the South" and the South's "fastest back of the 1910-1920 decade."
Hardage served as the head football coach at Mercer University in 1913 and the University of Oklahoma from 1932 to 1934, compiling a career college football head coaching record of 13–17–5. He was later the head baseball coach at the University of Florida from 1937 to 1939, tallying a mark of 35–24–1. Hardage also had stints at the head football coach at The McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, from 1915 to 1917 and Gordon Military College—now known as Gordon State College—in Barnesville, Georgia, in 1921. He spent ten seasons, from 1922 to 1931, as the backfield coach at his alma mater, Vanderbilt.
Lewis Hardage was born on February 11, 1891, in Madison, Alabama, to Monroe L., a liquor dealer, and Katherine Hardage. His father Monroe operated the Hardage Brother's Saloon in Madison. By the time Lewis Hardage entered college, his family had moved to Decatur. He was inducted into the Morgan County Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.
Hardage was a prominent halfback at two different schools: Auburn University and Vanderbilt University, and was selected All-Southern every year in which he played.
Hardage played two years for Mike Donahue's Auburn Tigers football team, from 1908 to 1909. He weighed some 165 pounds.
The 1908 Auburn team disputes a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) championship with the LSU Tigers, despite losing to LSU 10–2 during the season, due to charges of professionalism against LSU. Amidst fears of many players being ineligible under SIAA rules most sportswriters did not include LSU for consideration as conference champions.
Hardage scored three touchdowns in the win over the Mercer Baptists.
