Thought I heard somewhere that the headlights were used if game was running late and it was murky on the field. Maybe not.

If you twitter, give these guys a follow. A lot of cool stuff about the history of the state.

I thought a running track around the field was bad, but a horse track?

I got run out of bounds hard right into a Model T headlight. I finally got a helmet after that.

When they built Dornblaser at that site, that track became a very fine cinder track that hosted the state Interscholastic track championships for many years. It was a very fast track.

The Dornblaser track was well drained and the very fine rolled cinders did not retain water. I never saw it in bad shape. The biggest problem with these tracks was that the source of cinders dried up.

Kem, were you at that game in the pic?

It's a great pic. You can imagine someone wrestling a bear for the half-time show.
