Nothing about history pops off a page better than illustrative
photos. And nothing can tell the story of the first century of the
Trojans better than the nearly 200 photos collected
in Historic Photos of USC Football. The slow but inexorable
transformation from muddy, sloppy fields, leather helmets,
unprotected faces, and basic bleachers to modern turf,
sophisticated head gear, sleek uniforms, and gargantuan stadiums is
clearly and impressively shown in these images. Marion Morrison
before he became John Wayne, the Trojans as they became the
Thundering Herd, Coach Elmer "Gloomy Gus” Henderson actually
smiling, the Trojans in derby hats in Chicago celebrating, and Turd
the forgotten mascot are all captured here through the camera’s
eye. Whether it’s the drama of big games, the gimmicky publicity
photos of a bygone era, or the unrelenting demands of practice, the
story of this uniquely ambitious team is told here in gridiron
detail.
