This postcard from the Ken Levin Toledo Postcard Collection, donated by Toledo resident, Ken Levin. The collection contains picture postcards about the Toledo area. Mr. Levin’s collection was published by the Toledo Blade in a book entitled “You Will Do Better in Toledo: From Frogtown to Glass City”, edited by Sandy and John R. Husman.

Note the giant championship banner with the name of the game in two words, "Basket Ball." Also the script writing over Overland on the dark jerseys and the long canvas football pants that were the athletic wear of many sports including football where the style became popilar.
