Northwestern Home Game Programs Gallery
Part 7: 1950 through 1952
Posted 6/24/12; Updated 8/5/12
Northwestern
had been using mostly generic, syndicated artwork for its covers in the
late 1940s. By 1950, the school began using NU-specific artwork
again. While the covers from 1950 through 1952 did feature
artwork done specifically for Northwestern, most of it was recycled
from the few periods in the 1940s when NU was making its own program
covers. The rehashed artwork left this period mostly forgettable
for its program cover art. There were, however, a few notable
exceptions, particularly in 1952.

Predating
a cartoon style that would become the standard for NU in 1959, this
drawing of battling mascots is wonderfully whimsical and qualifies as
one of the twenty CLASSIC NU PROGRAM COVERS.
