Sims was a prominent guard for the Alabama Crimson White of the University of Alabama.[1]
1905
Sims scored in the opening win of 17 to 0 over Maryville in 1905. A number of Alabama turnovers kept the game scoreless through halftime. Sims scored the first touchdown and Auxford Burks added a 95-yard return for a touchdown.[2] Sims also scored the first touchdown of the 30 to 0 victory over Auburn in what was then the largest crowd ever to see a game in Birmingham (4,000) with an 18-yard run.[3] He was selected All-Southern in 1905.[4]
1906
In 1906, Auburn protested he was an illegal player. The protest was heard by the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, but it was denied.[5][6]
