Minnesota at Cal Program October 6, 1951

A week early, but I dug this up recently. I originally found this at a thrift shop in Ames, Iowa many years ago. These images are not the entire program. I'll bump the thread next Monday.

The team featured Paul Giel, Geno Cappelletti, Roger French, among others. Burnham (Rocky) Elton was my mom's HS boyfriend at Fergus Falls. She was also friends with the Foss's and Kuehnel's.

Is anyone from this team still alive?

I see my Dad, Bill Foss from Fergus Falls, listed on the roster, but not his photo. He would have been starting his sophomore year.
