Joe Guyon attended and played at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School from 1912 to 1913 under head coach Pop Warner. Sportswriters often tried to call him "Injun Joe" after the character in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but it never much caught on outside the press. The 1913 team went 10-1-1, scoring 296 points. Guyon shifted to Thorpe's place at halfback and was honored by Walter Camp as a second-team All-American. From the 1913 season comes this real photo postcard featuring the entire team, Pop Warner and Joe Guyon. Freshly graded SGC GD 2.
