Legendary basketball coach and Athletic Director Lynn St. John is on display here in 7 different photos. St. John is pictured as the coach of not only the 1911 and 1912 Ohio Wesleyan University basketball teams, but also with the 1909 and 1910 football teams, and 1910, 1911 and 1912 baseball teams. He was a brilliant coach whose insight into athletics led to him being hired by Ohio State University to lead the institution into a new age of athletic excellence; a role he filled beyond anybody's wildest dreams as he helped build OSU into the juggernaut it is today. St. John was elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1962. All photos included in this lot have been affixed to sturdy backing board and are in overall EX condition. Many shots include typewritten rosters and season records.
