No "cheesehead"s but there are some real block head looking fellas in the photo. My mother said he used to go to St. Louis every year to try out for the "baseball team" and won a reputation as being a "scrapper" by the other players. He owned a bar in Macon and was good at boxing/fighting too. He died before I was old enough to pick his brain but I bet he had some good stories. Played football, tried out for major league baseball and boxed. Carl is pictured sitting to left as you look at the photo of the guy with the mascot and was a pretty small guy.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could research an adult league football program in Decatur during the '20's?
