wow, excellent collection. great blog as well. keep it up.
Wow, Michigan had night games back in the ’50s!
See Rich, it’s a tradition. That means you have to do it.
M’Dog,
Plenty more on Michigan’s first night game in 1944 against Marquette here:

The bad news: The current renovation plans do not include permanent lights! Not to say they can’t just bring them in like they do for the 3:30 games, but to date there’s never been a night game at Michigan stadium.
This is Mike Renda, Hercules Renda (the 11th item, 1940′s) was my uncle, he died a few years back but really nice collection there, we got some official signed cards and footballs, old original team photos etc… when i can i’ll take some pictures. Just letting you know.
That 11th Item….is my grandfather is Hercules Renda…and i can remember going to the Michigan games on saturdays. Meeting all kinds of historical people and U OF M alum that i still am in contact with…i’m glad that my grandpa is honored by being put on this collection…
Thanks
