Sorry to post on a BST thread without an offer but this is so a cool piece! I'm from the Cin/Dayton area and I've never heard of the Triangles and just looked up some info on them.

Also, so interesting to look at the 3 players background... one from Dayton, but two from Hawaii before it was even a state. Makes you wonder how 2 young men from paradise, decades before it became a state, wound up playing a fledgling college sport in the frigid midwest. GLWTS!

I had the same thought re: the Hawaiian players. Wish there was more info out there about these guys.
