Outdoor basketball
Wow Michael - I didn't see this card when running thru them!
Outdoor basketball! I looked up the '36 roster but they don't include jersey numbers. And, on one web, I found a list of who used what numbers in the olympics - unfortunately #12 doesn't go all the way to 1936. Thanx for all the info.

All of this information was provided to me in 1998 by Frank Lubin. He wrote a letter to me providing this information and identified all of the players on a photo of the medal ceremony. Lubin is generally considered one of the greatest basketball players before the advent of professional basketball. His parents were born in Lithuania. After the Olympics he would coach the Lithuanian national team (Americans of Lithuanian descent) to the Eurobasket championship in 1937. In 1939 as player/coach of the team they won the championship again. He is considered the grandfather/godfather of Lithuanian basketball. He used the Lithuanian version of his name, Prakas Lubinas, while playing over there. As noted on the back of the card, this is the game versus the Philippines. As noted above, the McPherson/UWashington players competed in this game as it was the second game played by the U.S.

Here's a signed page from the 1937 Pasadena Junior College yearbook.
