Somewhere in each of these pictures is a young Doyt Perry, but I can't figure out which one he might be. I have ideas, but can't be sure without the crew cut!

Just guesses, but I think I see him in that young man's forehead/eyebrows.

Last Saturday, when I was in Eppler North picking up my kids from Karate class, I noticed they had a bunch of women's team pictures (basketball, gymnastics, I think, forget which other ones) hanging in the second floor gym at the end of the building. Some of the teams were from the 20's and many from the early and late 70's. (at least I think they were from those dates. If they are still there this week, I can check it out again!) It's the room that they usually teach gymnastics in. Really neat pictures with coach's names and years listed on them. It was like a hall of fame-type tribute. Very neat!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second." ~~USCHO Poster "BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got." ~~USCHO Poster, AFTER Tech beat us #NeverGiveUp

I got a bunch of information for BGSUsports.com from the west side upper hallway at AA last winter. Alot of names and faces that did great things at BG in the 50's and 60's, but don't get the recognition.

My grandfather was Doyt's center. I think that's him in the second picture, top row on our right.
I think, in the link, he's the football player above the "G" in the 1928 football picture. I'll have to send the link to my mom to make sure. I can't remember when he graduated. I know he was a letter winner in football and track.
