football!

On the coffee table of Tony’s beach house, where we’ve been staying in South Haven, is Richard Applegate’s very entertaining pictorial history of the area Photographic Memories Grand Rapids: Josten’s Printing and Publishing, 1996.  In the section on sports, of which SH has a proud tradition (they always beat our asses), is a picture of 6 SH footballers sometime around 1900, before and after the game, p188.  I think Jim Harbaugh could use it for motivation

Mr. Applegate identified the combatants as C.O. Monroe, Harold French, Arthur Ryall, Howard Webster, Harold Webster, Calvin Donahue, and Arch Haven.  I’m sure their descendants are proud of them.
