Fascinating group of 24 colorized photos as run in the Chicago Tribune in 1925 and 1926. Each of the photos measures slightly under 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" with a photo caption underneath each photo describing the player and typically what it is that justifies their inclusion in the paper (typically a big game that weekend). The photos are beautiful printed on newsprint (they appeared in the paper so the back of each piece is the reverse page of that day's paper). Each has been hand-cut so there is a certain degree of waviness about the cuts. A few have minor creases however given their method of distribution the condition is wonderful. Included in the collection are the following: 1) George C. Thayer of Pennsylvania2) W. John Madden of Columbia3) Roger Wheeler of Minnesota4) Harold Broda of Brown5) Newman Horton of Dartmouth6) Clement D. Coady of Harvard7) Marty Karow of Ohio State8) John W. Davis of Princeton9) Harold Zuber of the University of Kansas10) Walter Marks of the U. of Chicago11) Roland Coe of Iowa State12) Ralph "Moon" Baker of Northwestern13) Carl Bacchus of Missouri14) Alonzo Stiner of Nebraska15) Gail Fry of Drake16) Tom Hogan of Purdue17) Dolye Harmon of Wisconsin18) Phil W. Bunnell of Yale19) S. Tombaugh of Kansas State Agricultural
