No wonder I've never seen this photo before connected with the 1932 Olympics!
What you both say makes perfect sense now. Also, the fact that they're referring to a "Homecoming" game. Since it was labeled 1932, I guess I thought it was just referring to a trip to Mars or something. I went back to that website, which is selling this and similar as stock footage and photos and don't see a way to correct their page headings of this being related to the Olympics.
(I wonder if someone actually bought their footage to use in an Olympics documentary could at least get their money back if they discovered that info is false?)
