Seip ran back a 67-yard punt return in LSU's first ever bowl game, as well as the first football game played by an American team outside of the United States, the 1907 Bacardi Bowl.[4] LSU beat the University of Havana 56 to 0.
1910 was a disastrous year for the Tigers. After the 1908 campaign, and a strong 1909 campaign which saw their only SIAA loss come to SIAA champion Sewanee, the team lost some star power. Stovall, end, Mike Lally, halfback, and Seip would all be lost for the year.[6] Seip was ruled ineligible the week before the Sewanee game.[6]
