RSC-Ohio-205 (Photograph)

Black and white photograph of a seven-person basketball team and their two coaches from East Technical High School, Cincinatti, Ohio. The photo is mounted in a grey paper frame inside of a black folder with a logo embossed on the front. It was taken and printed by Newman Studio, 1706 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. The team is posed in front of a curtain, three are sat on stools, and the center student is holding a basketball. 

The frame has names and numbers written either above or below the photo. Top row, left to right: "1. Bill Zweigart, 2. [blank], 3. Anthony Machi "mgr.", 4. Eric V. Calhaun "coach", 5. Nick Lalich, 6. Julius Bene, Albritton D., Bottom row: 7. Bernard Mordarche , 8. Joe Povce, 9. Julius Bene"

After graduating from East Tech in 1934, David Albritton (shown here top row, far right) attended Ohio State University and went on to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, get elected to the House of Representatives for Ohio (1960), and become the first African American to head a House committee in Ohio (1969).
