Is this Pop Warner?

Pop? Thanks.

At first glance, I think it is.

I don't think so. Pop is one of the most evil looking men, scowl and piercing eyes.

This guy looks to, well nice

Tough to tell but my first impression was no.

I don't think so either, but if you show the whole piece it might provide some insight.

here is a younger Pop.....

Is that your Cabinet Becker, you F'er!

And the master collector gets master-er

Here's the full postcard. The captions read, "Sioux Indians Football Team, Howell, Regina." Regina refers to Canada (the postcard bears a July 1909 postmark and was sent from Regina, Saskatchewan to Olathe, Kansas). Howell is presumably the photographer.

A note on the reverse reads, "we can beat KU or Haskell" (presumably referring to Kansas University and Haskell Institute Indian school).

Was it a team that traveled to Regina from the United States? A Canadian team? And what sport was it? There are too few players for a soccer or American football team. Ideas?

The postmark makes sense...Canadian football uniforms.

Warner was pretty firmly entrenched as Carlisle's head coach and AD in 1909.

I was the underbidder on that one. Ugh!!!!!

thanks for posting the full image. I still don't think it's Pop, but I'm less sure seeing the subject with an Indian team. further research is needed.

Hi Joe and Dan.....

I did not see this when it first sold, but I did trade the owner that outbid Dan.

Hey Andy! So you have Pop now? Congrats! I stared at that item at least 1,000 times when it was up for auction to lose out by "that much".
