While combing through an online postcard store (OldPostcards.com) recently, I came across an RPPC showing the 1906 football squad for the S.O.I.S. of Scotland, Pennsylvania. The image shows a few coaches and 35 or so high school-age boys posed for their team picture in front of an imposing three-story school building. Not having heard of the SOIS or Scotland, Pennsylvania, it was not clear whether there might be an interesting football-only story or a broader story in which football is a part, and it turned out to be the latter.
