Notes: The SOHS index claims that this photo depicts the "1877 Oregon champions." Henry Daniel Kubli was born on June 17, 1860; it is a stretch to think he is 16-17 years of age. The Mensor boys on the far right were sons of Morris Mensor, who had a total of 15 children (according to some sources).
