Dayton got its gridiron start in the 1910s and was named after its Triangle Park home field. But an over-reliance on local players led to disappointing results and a lack of fans to fill the stadium, so the Triangles became a "traveling team" that usually played on the road. On October 23, 1927, they suffered a 7-0 defeat in Providence. This attractive greenish program (6-1/4" x 9-1/2") is a nice alternative to our adjacently offered '28 championship examples, because in addition to listing Steam Roller scoring leaders Jimmy Conzelman and Wildcat Wilson in the lineup, it also features full-length shots of Wilson and Bill Pritchard.
