1950 Minot Mallards
This Photo appeared in the Minot Mallards reunion booklet in 1997. Several players in the photo were not identified (TBD is an abbreviation for “to be determined”).
Front Row: Henry Smith, TBD, TBD, TBD, Marly Strong, Sugar Cain (But it definitely is not Cain as he first joined the team in 1951.Probably Jack Bruton.)
Middle Row: TBD, TBD (probably Willie Cathey), Del Triplett, Zoonie McLean, Harvey Lapides, Bob Danielson
Top Row: TBD, Lefty Lefebvre, Brad Tolson, Norm Felde, Cliff Kempf,
I believe the first player in the top row is Andy Anderson and the fourth player in the front row is Paul Wasseth. The other unidentified players including the one wrongly identified as Cain are Jack Bruton, Willie Cathey, Gervis Fagan, Leo Henry, Frank Pickens or Fred Shepard. (I realize that I listed six possible players for five unidentified in the photo.)
