Description

Phil Becker is a spark plug on the Paschal High School football team. The courageous 134-pound halfback is a good play selector, runner, and passer. The wiry tailback has won three of the five games in which he's played. In his last game against San Angelo High School, Becker was responsible for two scores. He is shown at practice, catching the football on the snap. He is dressed in a number 40 football uniform and a helmet. The young man is posed in a padded football shirt, below-the-knee padded knee canvas pants, long white socks and black lace-up football boots. His helmet is leather. "(Star-Telegram Photo by Tom Dillard)" Published Star-Telegram Morn. Oct. 21, 1941.
