You have to love the old timey illustration of the football player with the maskless helmet. Of course, this was the norm for the time and the era when the transition was occurring to encourage the use of masks. With their seven game schedules, it's no wonder they waited until October in two of the three schools to begin the season, stretching it out to a more traditional time.  Nowadays, they'll start in late August and end in October, just in time to begin playoffs.
