Coolidge, H'v'd' [i.e., Harvard] (LOC)

    A report on Harvard sports a little later than this has reports on football at books.google.com/books?id=YluWJIchpVEC&pg=PA76&lp... Of the footballers pictured in this batch of Bain photos, I see: H. R. Hitchcock, Jr. '14 W. H. Trumbull, Jr. '15 D. C. Parmenter '13 P. L. Wendell '13 R. T. P. Storer '14 F. J. O'Brien '14 G. A. McKinlock Jr. '16 For Coolidge there are two possibilities: T. J. Coolidge, 3rd '15 C. A. Coolidge '17

    If this is T.J. Coolidge III, he is the great-great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson, according to www.masshist.org/findingaids/doc.cfm?fa=fa0031 Obituary in NYT for Thomas Jefferson Coolidge at select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F6091FFB3D551B7B... [subscription required] has a picture that could be this guy. And NYT report on a November 1913 game suggests that it is probably him, since CA Coolidge doesn't get a mention query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E01E1D71E3BE633A...

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called blowupnewyork, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    swanq: Thanks! I think it's somewhat inconclusive which Coolidge this might be, as both C.A. Coolidge and T.J. Coolidge are mentioned as playing in a November 1914 game in this article from the New York Times. There is a photo in the article, but it's hard to say if it's the Coolidge pictured here, particularly if these two Coolidges happen to be brothers and share similar features. We will add a bit more to this description, since it doesn't mention Harvard or football, but may leave the identity a bit vague for now. Thanks for the sleuthing!

Ball grounds, Monte Carlo (LOC)

    See comments on Vicomte De La Panouse (LOC)
  • Retired at last said:
    That looks like a football field (soccer for those of you in the US) What can be seen of the field markings and goal posts look right for football.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for your research. Looks as though the only connection is Viscount de la Panouse's position as President of the Sporting Club of Monte Carlo.

    This photo ran in The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.), February 11, 1917 with the caption: "Baseball Field, Monte Carlo, Beautiful Monte Carlo is to have another game than those that have made It famous, and it is just plain American baseball. However, the grand old game will have an entirely new setting on grounds that lie within sight of the famous casino, where fortunes are won and lost, mostly lost. The capital of the little state of Monaco, which nestles between France and Italy on the Mediterranean, will be in the new league of Southern France to be established after the war." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1917-02-11/ed-1/se...
