With the hills of Kentucky in the background and fans crowded around the field, this image is the only known photograph of live play between the Shoe-Steels and their great rival, the Tanks. While Portsmouth lost their first encounter with the Tanks (depicted here), they won their second, setting them up for a chance to play the Ashland Armcos in the Ohio Valley Championship. This image was obtained from an original hardcopy of the Portsmouth Daily Times, which published the photograph on November 7th, 1927.
