Tulane Info (Re: request)

There's a long shot chance that some player from the Tulane teams has 
contacted CBCI and registered with their Alumni database. You'd have 
to email them and ask them. Otherwise, I very much doubt there will 
be any player records for Tulane.

Tulane played before ACU-I instituted the six-year eligibility rule. 
Prior to that rule, I don't think anyone saw a need to maintain 
player records. If scoresheets from non-televised or non-championship 
matches of the early RCT's and NCT's exist, I don't know who has them.

The TV appearance was a big deal in the 60's. Two of the later NCT 
appearances involved trips to Miami. I would expect your student and 
local newspapers, which are probably available in your library, to 
have run a story or two - especially for the 60's team. You may have 
to look through every issue from February through April for news of 
the later teams. If you're lucky, someone has indexed them.

Two other places to try include your university archives. These are 
usually located in the main library special collections. They will 
probably be most helpful for the television appearnce. Even losing 
schools got a small amount of money, and there will probably be some 
record of where that went, and perhaps which students won the money 
for the school. The money was from GE to the scholarship fund. Some 
universities also have an official "University Historian" who might 
know of records not stored in the archives location. The other place 
that may help is the alumni association. They can put a notice for 
information in the alumni magazine, which will almost certainly get 
you the information but take a while. If they have an alumni listserv 
that can spread the word, you might get the information much quicker.

Your regional coordinator won't have anything. ACU-I RC's generally 
serve for a three-year maximum term, and often much shorter. They 
usually don't pass on to their successor anything but what is needed 
for the next year's tournament. There have been at least six RC's in 
your region since Tulane played, and almost certainly a few more. If 
your RC has any records more than a few years old, I will be 
astonished. Delighted to hear it, but astonished.

Good luck! And if you stumble across any match records from those 
RCT's or NCT's in the process, please let me or CBCI know! Both of us 
will see that the information is preserved.

Speaking only for myself.
