Early Eisenhower?

smotan_02 · #1 07-18-2017, 08:31 AM

Came across some scrapbook items from 1911-1913 belonging to Cadet Paul Newgarden; eventually became a Brigadier General. These items included several football programs, tickets, and photos of the football team (varsity and JV). By chance, the far left gentleman in tge group photo look like a young Eisenhower? The second photo is a yearbook photo of him pulled from the internet.

Sure looks like it could be.

Much closer than that Amelia Aearhart photo

Looks like him to me.

Great and thank you for the replies everyone! It's pretty exciting as it would be one of only a handful of photos of him as a cadet and even more scarce of him connected to a football team. I believe only 3-4 exist as he was hurt early in his playing days.

It may help if you could post the photo in higher resolution. All we need is his head.

If I were you, I'd contact the Eisenhower Presidential Library at eisenhower.library@nara.gov. They should be able to quickly verify if Ike is in the picture.

Since no one is saying it, I will. There is no way in heck that is Ike. Come on!

I was able to scan the image tonight, both the whole and just a scan of him. Should be much better quality.

The Ike photo below right was chosen because it was the best for ear comparison that I could find. Ears don't change much with age, and the changes that may occur are pretty predictable. The only explanation for the completely differing ear shapes here is that these are two different persons. Post #17 above is correct with respect to the earlobes.

Good info in the thread and thanks for getting back on track and being nice on the forum. This place should be free of most animosity but we are all passionate so things happen.

Thanks to Mark (and the others) for helping on the ID too.....
