you are purchasing a 5″x10″ print of this image

The Tyler High School “Lions” football team for the 1930 season. Photo taken on the Tyler football field at the southwest corner of West Woldert Street and South Bois d’Arc Avenue. View looking north (none of the houses in the background remain), the “Team” caption is listing the A team for the group.

          “A more fighting team never walked on a football field than the Lions of ’30. The first district game was a walk-over for the Lions. All of them except the Palestine game were won with ease. In the bi-district game the Lions were the underdogs, but they came through on the big end of a 27-6 score. The under-rated Lions again showed their ability by beating the Austin Maroons. But Fort Worth was the place where the Lions won gridiron fame. Although predicted to lose, Tyler proved the Amarillo ‘Sandstorm’ to be only a gust of wind.” This quote taken from page 88 of the 1931 Tyler High School Alcalde Yearbook, SPORTS IN REVIEW written by Herschel Welch.
