Their matching sailor-collared uniforms and dark neckerchiefs create a striking rhythm across the group, while a basketball marked “1916” anchors the scene at floor level.

Poised in crisp uniforms and arranged in two neat rows, the Western College sophomore basketball team of 1916 offers a quiet study in early collegiate athletics.

Mid-leap on a sunlit ballfield, a uniformed player stretches for a high catch, glove raised and eyes locked on the unseen ball.
