Among the Bain News Service glass negatives, this one is distinguished by its name: a University of Michigan athlete identified only as G.A. Dull. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that the Bain company recorded and that has not been independently verified, so the identification should be read with that caveat in mind. Bain News Service, a New York agency, supplied newspapers and magazines with pictures of people and events from roughly 1900 to 1932, and its files are largely made up of such portraits and sports images. Collegiate athletes of that era were frequent subjects for newspaper coverage, which makes this negative a useful glimpse of how university sports were pictured in the period.
