I was kidding of course. Tubby was only 15 years old then (kidding again). Enjoying the video on the Memphis State 8. Almost hard to believe it was over half a century ago.
Life must have been brutal back in those days. Some of those college students look 40 years old.
I think Zach Curlin was probably Alec Baldwin's real father.
I was thinking the same thing. I think it's their hair. They needed a Davenport hairdo is all.
Looks like our center back then was a strapping 5’10.
Hey... Height was no big deal back then. None of those white dudes could jump and the basket was lower then too.
This was back when they would wash the uniforms once the season was over. Plus it was mandatory to fold you arms for photos.
Notice the ball with WTSN. West Tenn State Normal School.

Nice uniforms, everything matches. Do those guys look SHORT? I don't think any of them look like they are over 6 feet tall. That looks more like a rugby team. Practice must have been 3 on 3. I checked and the ALL AMERICAN center that year was 6' 1" tall.

Yeah they do look short and their socks scream RUGBY.
Who knows what the poor guys wore for shoes. It must've been bad, 'cause the photographer cut them off.

Here's a pic of another team from about the same time.

Converse...maybe?
http://basketball.epicsports.com/basketb...story.html The 1920s gave basketball a place on the map, and a uniform consisting of medium length shorts, sleeveless form-fitting jerseys, and flat, comfortable shoes. Eventually uniforms were designed to not only identify the team, but to reflect its spirit. Men and women wore special shirts; sleeveless for the men, short sleeves for the ladies. Socks went to above the knees and were rolled down a bit. Women, considered more delicate, were required to wear knee pads for their protection. Uniforms were made from breathable, stretchable wool. Not only hot, but woolen shirts were difficult to care for and tended to shrink.
