 Old Photographs I have started scanning in copies I have made over the years (or have been sent to me) of old six-man football photos...taken mainly from yearbooks and newspapers...
I am curious just how many are out there???
Anyone else have some old photos???
Here are some highlights of what I have:
1938: Hobbs starting 6, Beasley team photo and starting 6, Prairie Lea team photo and some small action photos
1939: Katy team photo, Van Horn starting 6, Prairie Lea team photo, Mattson team photo, Ovalo team photo
1940: Tuscola team photo, Blackwell team photo
1941: Trent team photo

Re: Old Photographs Do you think enlarging them to wall size
would just make them too blurry to even see?
(It makes me wonder...
just how fancy was THEIR weightroom?)

Re: Old Photographs I bet their weight room was a truck load of cedar posts and a set of them damn post hole diggers. Or an old stump, an ax, and a big pile of fire wood that needed split.

Re: Old Photographs Back in the day (for you Doggie) Fort Davis ran the same formation as pictured. (And no, I was not in high school in 1938) Anyway, the thing that made it interesting was that the plays they ran had three numbers, as 136. The first number was the person the ball was snapped to. The other thing was every player wore rib pads. These things were bulky as heck and with their high top black shoes was interesting. Oh well, funny what amuses old folks.

Re: Old Photographs My favorite thing about the Beasley picture is the condition of their "field"...all dirt!

That play calling strategy actually makes a lot of sense. Rib protection and high tops too!

Re: Old Photographs Not sure if this helps you...but in 1938 Beasley was in UIL Six-Man District 1 with Blessing, Crescent, Louise, Markham. Markham won the district. I was told by the person who has the photos that Beasley was runner-up.
