Porterville High School football team, 1920.
Porterville High School  football team,  1920.   (Scanned from the glass negative).   The team is posed in front of the school's  El Granito  building.    I found a partial list of names for the team members,  and I attempted to match the names to the players in this image, e.g.  Using old yearbook senior class photos, etc.    Here's what I came up with, (the players are listed from Left to Right):
Back row (Standing):  3rd player from the Left: Clyde Hubbs,   next to him (4th from L.):  Everett Cattaneo.   8th from the Left:  Sherrill Halbert.   9th from L:   Elrino Neher.   10th:  Roy Vincent.   11th:  D.R. Lightner (coach).
Middle row (kneeling):   1st from Left:  Calvin Stewart.   2nd from L:   Henry (or Oliver?) Peak.  3rd: Walter Premo.   4th: Taylor Perry.   5th: Jack Newbury.   8th from L:   Nelson Smith.
And sitting in the front row,  4th from the L:   Gilbert Velie.

A couple of close-ups:
