词源 | Heisman Trophy. The Heisman Memorial Trophy has been called the ultima Thule for undergraduate football players, being awarded annually since 1935 to the best of their breed in the country. It is named for John W. Heisman, former Georgia Tech coach. Called “Shut the Gates of Mercy” Heis- man, the coach was a great mentor, though not noted for be- ing a gentleman on the playing field. On one occasion he al- lowed his team to rack up an incredible 222 points against an opponent. Notable Heisman Trophy winners include Tom Harmon of Michigan (1940), Paul Hornung of Notre Dame (1956), and O. J. Simpson of Southern California (1968). Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago won the initial award in 1935. |
