Mathewson Football Pic?

[jboosted92]

I know Connie mack created one of the 1st Pro football teams in Philly, and Mathewson was on the squad ( i think it lasted 1-2 years )

anyone ever seen a vintage photo?

Once had a team cabinet photo in the early 80's, Mathewson and the whole team were in uniforms, and Mack was in the photo. Believe it is still in the advanced Mathewson collector's possession, that I traded it to.

Mathewson played fullback and punter for the Pittsburg team, so he would not have been in a team photo with Connie Mack.

Here are the 1902 (football) Athletics, with Mack but no Mathewson:

My recollection was Mack was in the photo, I also do not remember letters on the uniform, i thought they were blank, but looked to be black or vey dark.

I don't know of any pictures of Big Six as a pro footballer but would love to see one if such exists. Here's a scan from the 1902 Bucknell yearbook of the 1900 varsity squad, Matty at back near center.
