Football Photo ID Help

[KrenBats]

Anyone have an idea of who this might be? Have not been able to come up with much researching on my own. Looks to be older than a high school player but younger than a pro. Any help would be appreciated.

"Howard Leslie Spedding opened a photography studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1918." Might narrow it down. Here's the article:

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Thanks Ty! Maybe a U of Michigan player? Any Wolverines fans that may know who this is?

Mike - You might make a paper copy of the photo and send it to the Sports Information office at Michigan. With some luck they will have a work study student look through the old yearbooks to ID the player.

Excellent, thanks Mike!

Here's a website that has images for history of Michigan football uniforms:

Doesn't immediately look like any of them. I believe your on the right track about the youthful appearance of this man, might be an Ann Arbor High School football player, or something entirely different. Fun project.
