Yes I have a few...man you are talking about something like 2 people (seriously doubt anyone but me knows what you are talking about) know what you are referring to! Message me or email me [email protected]
They were usually printed in the January or February issues
American Boy Magazine did a national all-six-man team in the late 1930s and 40s...six-man football was the fastest growing game in America at the time and Stephen Epler used American Boy Magazines to help grow it nationally. They sponsored the printing of the rule books for a time then as well. If I knew how to make files smaller I would post images as I have many of the magazines....but Im not that smart
