Hi all, Bonnie Selig and I have discovered that our fathers were on the same championship basketball team in high school. The championship was won on March 1, 1927. They went to Hibbard High School and Roosevelt. We are trying to find a better copy of the picture that appeared in the Herald Examiner (at least that's what the name reads at the bottom of the picture.) Molly looked at the Examiner on film for us but couldn't find it. Bonnie has written the school. Questions: Could other newspapers run pictures belonging to the Examiner? Is the Examiner on film anywhere that is NOT the Final Edition? Did the newspapers keep the original pictures and could they be stored somewhere? Can you think of some other way to find the picture? Any suggestions would be appreciated by both of us. Jackye Sullins San Diego

Jackye Where did you see the picture-On-line? Or is it from a scrap book that someone else had?

I am not Jackye, but I can respond to your question as my dad was on the team with her dad. My dad had a newspaper photograph of the winning basketball team that he had framed in his office for many many years. After his death I got the picture. Unfortunately he encased it in clear contact paper, and it has wrinkles in it - one over my dad's face and one over Jackye's dad's face. The photo is from some newspaper, and in the bottom right corner of the paper it says "Heard-Exam", which we take to mean the Herald Examiner. As Jackye said, we have had Molly Kennedy check that paper at the Lincoln Library in Springfield, as they hold copies for that time period. The date, which was cut out and pasted at the bottom of the photo was March 1, 1927. We have been able to find articles on the game, along with information on a riot by school students after the big win, but cant seem to find the original of the photo anyplace. If it was taken by a Herald Examiner photographer might it have appeared in a different paper, and that would explain the Herald Exam at the bottom of the photo? I scanned a copy of the photo and sent it to Jackye, but we would both really love to get a better copy. Bonnie -- Bonnie J.
