Scope and content
This was the Lincoln High School football team, about to conclude their 1953 season. Senior players would graduate in 1954. According to the 1954 Lincolnian yearbook, the team placed first in the City and second in the Cross State League. After the end of the season, fullback Jim Jones (#80 -third row) was selected as the South Tacoma Kiwanis "inspiration award' winner by his fellow players in an almost unanimous vote. Head football coach was Norm Mayer, right, and Harry Bird, to Mayer's left, was the line coach. (1954 Lincolnian, p. 55+) This photograph was taken for the school annual but not used in the publication. TPL-10259
