Born June 10, 1880, in Syracuse, New York, was Notre Dame’s fine fullback from the seasons of 1900 to 1903, Louis “Red” Salmon. The FootballFoundation.org website claims that Louis was the first of a long line of very special running backs for the Fighting Irish. As a matter of fact some seventy-five years after Red Salmon graduated from Notre Dame, the Irish record book continued to have his name listed on certain categories!  The 1903 record setting season where Red scored 105 points as a senior and his 36 career touchdowns still stood as school standards until 1985.Think about all of the great backs that passed played near the Golden Dome like the Four Horsemen, George Gipp, Stan Cofall, John Lattner and even Paul Hornung. Through four varsity seasons, Red Salmon scored a total of 250 points - and those were tallied in the days when a touchdown was only worth five points.  Louis Salmon received the great honor of being selected for inclusion into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971.
