I have several photos of my father when he was a teenager and young man. In the way back machine, pictured is his 1930 high school football team. From what my father (second from the right front row) told me about the team, they had to play both ways, offense and defense. Not enough kids in the high school to have and offensive and defensive team. Can't imagine kids doing that today.

Sir,
Great picture; thanks for posting.
Re: playing both ways: That is a very widespread practice that continues to the present, and will continue indefinitely. I live in a rural area sprinkled with small communities -just like much of the country. High school players playing both ways is standard operating procedure in these regions. Usually in smaller schools there are standout athletes who give the team the very best chance of success by applying their skills on both sides of the ball. I wouldn't have been considered a "standout athlete", but played both ways as an interior lineman, and did well until I and the coaches realized that I was running out of gas by halftime, and became a substitute on the offensive line while playing the whole game on defense.
Usually a team from a smaller school is a mixture of one and two way players, and most of the time the number of boys on the roster determines how many have to be on the field the whole game.
You may have been aware of all this already -my apologies if I'm answering questions not asked. I rarely post, and sometimes when I do I get carried away.
Thank you again for the vintage photograph of your Dad with his teammates -brings back a few memories.
Regards,
Andy

Mike, NCR was a powerhouse in Dayton for 125 years. In HS I knew a lot of families that worked for or subcontracted to them.
The big dogs around here back then were GM/Fisher Body (Camero/Firebird), Cincinnati Milacron, P&G, Kroger, GE Aviation, Kenner Toys, Ford Transmission, etc, etc. You could easily throw a dart and hit someone that was connected to those giants.
The times, they are a changin'.

Ate there 19 years ago. Don’t do buffets anymore. They had a classic car show this weekend.

NCR's Old River was a hoot. I remember when NCR moved overseas (Japan). Sad day in Dayton.
I still have this Cincinnati Enquirer special edition for the 1970 All-Star game.
It was my senior year in HS. I was in the nosebleed section at the old Riverfront Stadium. What a day.

This is not staged. It is a training session for service dogs. They are learning to sit still in a theater while the film is rolling.

As part of a "Loyal Wingman" test, this Valkyrie US military drone is launching a smaller ALTIUS-600 drone of it's own. The first time a drone has launched a drone.
