Oh, look, they wore long shorts back in 1911. Who knew that current uniform shorts were retro?
Some of the players' names appear to originally have been typed below the photo, but they are faded. Local historian William (Bill) Bowan rewrote them on the back of the photo:
The back says: 1911- Ambr. H. School Basketball Team
1st Row L R

2 - ?

4 - Bill Cooper

2nd Row

If you know the names of the unidentified players or the coach, please let me know.

ReplyDeletethe long pants you are seeing may be sweat pants or warmup pants like they use today, pants & light jacket, to keep you warm while getting ready for the game, shooting hoops etc. after warmup if you sit on bench, body gets cold & muscles stiffen up, charley horse heaven,
