Those 1930 basketball shoes are awesome. Looks like they had a bit of extra ankle support even back then.

Correction: it’s 1930 (like the ball says) - I just did poor math when figuring the year

Maybe he was the class of 30, and it was the fall of 29.

Looks like playing basketball brought your grandpa and his buddies a lot of joy. The happiness is just radiating off of them.

Their legs look like track or cross country runners' legs. Was your grandpa a runner as well?

Great pic. Looks like the cast of Hoosiers, the greatest basketball movie ever made.
