Default I have acquired one of my Holy Grails

A photo album filled with baseball and football photos taken by a member of the Nebraska Indians baseball team...Making this even better for me the player was also the quarterback of the Nebraska Cornhuskers in 1914 and 1915 and there are also many photos of the football team. Another plus is the addition of many photos of Les Mann who was apparently a pal of the player who made the album (Max Towle)...further research has revealed that they went to high school together.



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
