Basketball, Central vs. Christian
Description:
Action shot of game with spectators in background.
Bob Schichtel, local sports researcher, further describes the photograph: An unidentified Grand Rapids Central Ram, most probably #55 Don Bender, prepares to grab a rebound in an aggressive crowd of players. Vying for the ball are Grand Rapids Christian #43 Bob Penning and Ram #57 Joe Cassius. Watching from a short distance are Rams #58 Richard Gillett, #50 Richard Geer, # 56 Harold Phillips and Eagle #48 Marve Bylsma. Notice how well dressed the fans are in the crowd. Many men in shirts and ties and women in skirts. Game was played at Grand Rapids Central.
