Scope and content
This was Stadium High School's first squad during the 1922 football season. Coach Myron Carr (not pictured) had only three returning first team lettermen at the beginning of the school year. Nevertheless, the veterans and newcomers played to the best of their ability in clashes with rival Lincoln High and maintained a tough competitive spirit throughout the season. Center Herman Brix, a junior, proved to be a mainstay on offense. Brix (third from right, back row) later used his athletic prowess at the University of Washington where he was a tackle on the 1926 Rose Bowl team. His silver medal in shot-putting at the 1928 Olympics and his rugged good looks helped lead to Hollywood and the role of Tarzan in "The New Adventures of Tarzan." Later, as actor Bruce Bennett, he would appear in many motion pictures including "Mildred Pierce" and "Treasure of the Sierra Madre." G46.1-041
