Like I said, I don't remember which coach it was, or even when/where I heard it, but the evidence presented was that the poem lists off a number of animals, not just the tiger.
D. M. Balliet played at Princeton, Coached at AU 1893
Forrest M. Hall played at Princeton, Coached at AU 1894
Walter H. Watkins played at Princeton, Coached at AU 1900-01
Those are the ones that I dug up...I could have missed someone.

Very interesting. It's certainly possible. You learn something new everyday.
It's amazing how things get lost to time, just because they aren't preserved or written down. The legend of War Eagle, for example. No one really knows the true origin. I recently uncovered some information about the origin that I had never seen before. It is a 4th origin story (Eagle at 1st game, Carlisle Indian story, Eagle pin at pep rally are the others), and possibly the true one, as it came from old records.
