1928
Drennon was a member of the national champion 1928 team, selected All-Southern that year.[2] Coach William Alexander called him the "best all around guard that ever put a cleat into Grant Field."[3][4]
He received an appointment to West Point in 1930.[5]
gollark: I see. That seems like a stretch.
gollark: IIRC they didn't even claim it had actually gone through sufficient trials, just that they had one and were using it.
gollark: I doubt they could just fake clinical trials somehow and get all the regulators to go along with it.
gollark: The reason I think the assumption isn't great is that people see each other in multiple gatherings and so one person being infected means others are more likely to be and vice versa
gollark: It replicates what <@215706991748841473>'s code does. Also, I'm not sure exactly what you're saying.
