Default Your Best Pickup of 2012

It's that time of year...show off your best pickup of the year.

For me it was without a doubt the Max Towle Photo album. Max played for the Nebraska Indians, and was also the quarterback for the 1915 Nebraska Cornhuskers which made the album even better for me. He was also good friends with Les Mann so there were quite a few photos with a major leaguer as well.



Some tough looking Nebraska Indian players wearing their caps at the train station



A team shot that I'd not seen before



Max also played for the Husker baseball team



Some Husker football shots




Hanging out with Les Mann (In his Springfield College lettermen's sweater) and "Doc" (haven't researched this fellow yet) in Kalispell, Montana



More shots of the Nebraska Indians





A shot of Buck Beltzer with his family - Beltzer was team owner and manager of the Nebraska Indians at that time



1918 Naval Aviation (Seattle) Football team...lots of former collegians on this team



A Lincoln company team (I believe Laundry company)



A couple semi-pro teams that Towle played with



A three legged race at the ball park
