The Story of the NFL's Dayton Triangles

Dayton Triangles Frankford Yellow Jackets 1926

[from an unknown newspaper clipping in a Frandford Yellow Jackets scrapbook] 
" ... In the same period, Dayton showed to its best advantage getting away to several long end runs that gained yardage.  The rally was short lived however. To the right Abbott, the Dayton fullback is off to a twenty yard run around left end."
