Sports in the Old Days
I love seeing old pictures like this. They never seemed to be wearing much padding. Yay for shorpy!
Helmets
Not sure about college regulations, but helmets only became mandatory in the NFL in 1940.
Skillful photographer
Wow, whoever took this picture had a phenomenal eye. Not just the tilted frame, but the placement of the pileup and the spacing of the figures in the left half of the screen--it could be a Thomas Eakins photograph, or painting.
Question: was headgear optional in those days? About half the players, including some in the center of the action, are bareheaded.
