Scope and content
ca. 1926. This photograph of the Rock Dell soccer team ran in the January 16, 1927 Tacoma Daily Ledger when the team became Tacoma's representative in Division II of the Northwest League. They were scheduled to play the Black Diamond Bricquets in a double header at Athletic Park. Soccer was very popular in America in the 1920's. The USA was one of 13 teams attending the first FIFA World Cup in 1930 Uruguay, a contest they were favored to win before being eliminated by Argentina in the semi-finals. Pictured are back row, left to right, Tom Downing, Horace Steele, C. Froste and Joe Bowers. Middle row: Alex McLeod, Arthur Piltie, Jay Cook, Fred James and Bobby Sandford. Front row: Fred Jennings, Jack Reed, Sam Downing, Les Brogan and Bert Warner. (WSHS) (TDL 1/16/1927, pg. C-2)
