October 15, 1954, Appleton Post-Crescent
I wish the quality of this photo was better but you can see enough to get the idea. And by this I'm pointing out the old school football helmets with no face masks, starting to be phased out in this decade. When I was growing up, my dad's old leather maskless football helmet was in my old toy box in our basement. I'd often put it on and being a young kid, it seemed like it was from another planet; I knew the 1960's NFL and I sure didn't understand history and what it meant. I wish I still had that old ratty thing, if only for sentimental value.
