Lane Tech High School vs. Austin High School Football Game, 1955

This is very cool...I found a photos of my Uncle Russ playing football for Lane Tech High School on eBay. Here's the image:


And the seller's description:

Don Martorano (24) of Lane Tech, who picked up nine yards before being upended in a tangle of players. Austin's John Lullo (25) and Lane Tech's Rich Asala stay clear of the flying Martorano. Lane Tech went on to beat Austin 27-0 at Lane Stadium, October 29, 1955.

The College Girl, Yale Football Fan, 1907


THE COLLEGE GIRL
Of football she talks like a sport
And rooting and cheering's her forte,
Whichever side wins
She's sure of "frat" pins,
For she's really a very good sort.
