Date:

1953

Description:

The basketball flies toward the upper right of the frame while Illinois and DePaul players reach to grab it. Photo appears in Champaign-Urbana Courier for December 20, 1953, with the caption: "DePaul was the best rebounding team Illinois faced yet, but the Demons had trouble, nevertheless, claiming the ball against the two Illini board stars, Johnny Kerr and Bruce Brothers, Saturday night. Here DePaul's fine sophomore, Ron Sobieszczyk, disputes a rebound with Kerr (22) and Brothers but Kerr wound up with it. Jimmy Wright is in back of Sobieszczyk. Kerr wound up with 27 points and Sobiszczyk [sic] 17. (Photo by Chuck Scott)"
