I also could not find any pics of him with glasses. It would seem he would regularly wear them if he was wearing them at this time.

I was concerned about that also.

I just base the idea on his ears and face generally matching up with the man in the photo, and the fact that he was at the game in 1947. Keep in mind also, that he probably served in WWII, and men did generally look older than their chronological age (at least what we're used to now) at the time.

I looked at photos of the other players id'd as being at the 1947 game, and couldn't find a good match with any of them.
