The SMU Heritage Hall website has some crazy, unseen trophy photos. I’ve re-uploaded them here:
Of particular note is the previously unseen Houlgate System trophy cup.
The plaque is the Knute Rockne trophy for the Dickinson System. This traveling plaque was won permanently by Minnesota, they presumably still have it.
The Heritage Hall website is old and now throwing browser safety warnings. They say you can order prints by emailing gerry@…
Unfortunately:
SMU mourns the loss of historian Gerry York, who passed away [in March 2023]. York was the Curator of SMU’s Heritage Hall since construction started on Gerald J. Ford Stadium in 1998.
Would LOVE to have high-resolution scans of these images. Unfortunately, after York’s death, we only have low-res, watermarked thumbnails. SMU archivists can’t find the originals.
The Houlgate trophy photo has writing on it. Can anyone make it out?
