Re: Old Photographs Great pictues!
Forsan, with the building in the background, in the period equipment, looking like they enjoy it is cool.
The Beasley pic is a classic. The sand, the treeless West Texas desolation in the background.
The look of determination on the players faces. The look on the center's face of I'm gonna kick your ass.
More pulleaze.

Re: Old Photographs The area has changed a lot in 70+ years...ever hear some old timer say something like..."I can remember when there was nothing out here...wide open as far as the eye can see..."...I'm betting Beasley in 1938 was rural...I know there was some cotton fields in East Texas back in the 30's...so maybe that area was wide open farm land...

Re: Old Photographs Notice the popular formation...believe it was called the "short punt formation"...this was ran with variations due in part to the clear pass rule of the time...basically you couldn't hand the ball off, it had to be a "clear pass" or pitch...
What was usually drawn up as the regular punt formation would be the classic "spread" formation with the ends on each sideline.
people always want to try to pin point who "invented" the spread offense...its been ran as long as the game has been played...the clear pitch rule helped foster it way back in the beginning...so the inventor of the spread formation was probably Stephen Epler or some coach in Nebraska back in the 1934-35 time frame

Re: Old Photographs If the district is on the Gulf coast, then Crescent is not the same Crescent between Granbury and Ft Worth?

Re: Old Photographs Blue Bird - The Crescent school here (1938 District 1) was located close to Wharton, TX
According to my map skills...the school was located at the intersection of FM 960 and FM 961, west of Wharton and south west of Glen Flora
