Picture Of The Day
This is one of the first pictures I've seen with a proper view of what looks like the old Bovard Field. Many of us are too young to ever see this field, which used to be the main athletic field. It was taken by Loomis Dean in 1951 and is part of the recently released Life magazine collection available on Google.
Tell us Wolfeee, that's really you stuffed inside of that tackling dummy! Fight On!
SW,
Thanks for the memory. Bovard Field...you could sit in classes in the old Founders Hall and watch a baseball game or football practice. Same for some of the lecture halls at the back of the Administration Building. Ah, the memories...some might remember that the eucalyptus tree down the right field line was "in play". The short right field screen made home runs a mere chip shot for Fred Lynn. Bovard Field was THE field of champions...
