Haskell links to the Midwest and Northeastern teams.
Their only links to those regions in 1908 are wins over non-majors (Drury and St Mary (KS)), a tie with non-major Creighton, and losses to Nebraska and non-major Washburn. None of those ties would establish LSU on an even playing field with the top teams in the Midwest and Northeast. In other years it would have been a substantial victory. That year it was not.

Mike, you have to know the 1908 season, Haskell plays x, x plays y and you're at Carlisle and other teams
Remember I have spent better than 20 years studying 1898-1916 college football.
LSU coach Wingard played at Susquehanna back in 1898 and one of his teammates plays on the 1908 Michigan team. That made the 3rd team he played for that I know of; he may have played on another using assumed name.
The Nothern teams are loaded with mass player, playing 3 yards and a cloud of dust football. LSU and Carlisle play a far different game than the other teams. Carlisle is limited in players (being paid good money to play).
