The original Cyclones team in 1895. At far left, standing in back row is "Pop" Warner who later became a famous coach. From 1895 through 1899, he came from an Ivy League School for a month each year to coach ISC new team. He was offered a full-time position as ISC coach for $750/year, but position was vetoed by a member of the ISC Board of Trustees because he considered the salary too much to pay a coach. The football team became known as the Cyclones in 1895 when they trounced Northwestern in Evanston, Illinois, 36-0; a sportswriter wrote in "The Chicago Tribune" of September 29, 1895, that the ISC team "struck like a cyclone" and the name stuck. Photo is from the Iowa State College "Bomb" of 1896, opposite page 130; last names only are given for all those men who are pictured.
