Throwback Thursday - 1901 Basketball Team

This week's "Throwback Thursday" shows the Howard College basketball team in 1901, identified as Inter-Collegiate champions.  The photograph was originally published in the Sixth Annual Catalogue and Register of Howard College, East Lake, Ala printed by the Dispatch Printing Company in 1902.

Although we haven't asked anyone over in the Athletics department to be sure, we do have a sneaking suspicion our current basketball team is glad that players' uniforms have changed in the past 116 years.
