Three historic photos are presented here of the Ohio Wesleyan basketball team. The most notable of the three is the 1906 shot of the "First Wesleyan Basketball Team", which is hand-painted in white above the photo. All three shots have been affixed to artist's board, and feature the 1906 team, the 1912-1913 Ohio Conference Champions Team, and the 1913-1914 team. Each has typewritten pieces of paper included that show the teams' records and rosters. Highlights include the scores of early basketball games (56-5 over Kenyon in 1906, and 76-7 over Wooster in 1912-1913) and shots of old-time basketballs/uniforms. Overall VG-EX.
