Default George Sisler-Carl Lundgren-Fielding Yost @ U Michigan - Share Your College Photos

I have an album page from one of the University of Michigan players. Pictured are the baseball coach (1914-1920), the famous to this board Carl Lundgren, and football coach Fielding Yost, their famous football coach (1901-1926).

The pics show the players at the hotel in uniform, and out on the town at landmarks and hitting on some young ladies (captioned "A favorite sport").
Second from the left seated in the pic at the hotel with the uniforms on is George Sisler, who lettered at Michigan from 1913-1915.

The dates narrow the photos down to 1914-1915. Some are labeled, so I emailed the baseball staff to ask for the team schedules in those two years and they were kind enough to send them. They only played Vanderbilt in 1914, so that makes these 1914 photos.

Let's see some other players from their college days!

That Sisler is my favorite image of his we have ever handled. I have yet to see a better photograph of his even several years after it was sold!

Default Not a single player... historic nonetheless!

Hi all,

This is an original photo from the kickoff of the University of Washington's first game of the 1922 season.

In their first game of the season, they faced off against a football team consisting of crew members from the U.S.S. Idaho battleship.

Prior to the 1922 football season, the UW football team was known as the Sun Dodgers and briefly as the Vikings. The name and mascot were changed to the Huskies after a contest in February 1922.

Being that this picture is from the kickoff of the 1922 season it is from the first moment that the UW football team ever took the field as the Huskies, the name in which they are recognized and known by to this day.

The school's football stadium was also only two years old at the time of the picture, having been completed in 1920 and was known as U of W stadium at that time. Thus making this the first photo of the stadium as "Husky Stadium."

Right up my alley. I collect photos of U.S. Olympians and many of them are college athletes. I quickly scanned some, along with some I already had scanned. Very little alteration of the images other that some cropping and resizing for this site though they are still large. Most I scanned in color a few in grayscale for contrast. All are pre-WWII with a large number of them Pre-WWI. I will post some now and some more later today. For your enjoyment.

Lee Barnes - gold medal pole vault 1924. This photo shows him at the Olympic trials. The glare is in the photo. He had just graduated Hollywood H.S. in CA and would enter USC.

Attachment 414877

Chet Bowman - competed in the 100m in 1924, but no medal. Star running back on the Syracuse football team.

Attachment 414878

Sabin Carr - gold medal in the pole vault 1928. He went to Yale. I also have a photo of him in high school.

carr-redo.jpg

Wilson "Buster" Charles - finished fourth in the decathlon in 1932. A Native American he attended Haskell Institute. One of two Olympians to attend that school.

charles-redo.jpg

Clarence Childs - won a bronze medal in the hammer throw 1912. Attended Yale. The other person is Simon Gillis who competed in 1908 and 1912. Gillis was 37 at the time of this photo. Photo was taken at the Eastern Olympic Track Trials at Hilltop Park

childs-&-gillis-redo.jpg

Ralph Craig - Won gold in the 100m & 200m at the 1912 Olympics. Flag bearer during the opening ceremony 1948. Attended Michigan. One of my favorite photos

craig-r-redo.jpg

Eddie Eagan - The only Olympic athlete to win a gold medal in the summer (Boxing 1920) and winter (bobsled 1932). This is his Yale Captains photo. He was also a Rhodes Scholar and boxed at Oxford.

eagan-eddie.jpg

Dave Fall - Won a silver medal in diving at the 1924 games. He attended Stanford. The man next to him is Ernst Brandsten who competed in diving for Sweden at the 1912 Olympics. There is some card from the 1930's that the 'grading clowns' identify as Babe Ruth. It is actually this man.

fall-brandsten.jpg

John DeWitt - He won a silver medal in the hammer throw at the 1904 Olympics. He attended Princeton. He was a star football player there. Captain of the team and Walter Camp All American in 1903.

He played football at Michigan for Fielding Yost on the 1904 and 1905 'Point a Minute' teams. He was captain of the 1907 track team. This is a real photo post card, probably from 1905 or 1906.

garrels-redo.jpg

Marquis 'Bill' Horr - Won silver and bronze medals in the discus at the 1908 games. There were two styles of discus throw back then - one handed and two handed aka the Greek Style. He attended Syracuse where he was also a star football player. Member of the College Football Hall of Fame.
