Kennison Challenges Cannon to 100-Yard Dash

The Great One Accepts But with a Humorous Condition

CENTRAL — When former LSU track star Eddie Kennison challenged the legendary Billy Cannon to a 100-yard dash, Cannon said nothing.  But when Kennison asked for Cannon’s autograph, the Heisman Trophy winner wrote, “To Eddie, I accept the 100 yard challenge!  In the year 2150!  Billy ‘20’ Cannon.”

Kennison will be 177 years old then and Cannon a ripe old 223.

Probably an even match!
