Cowboy Hat on the Sidelines...

Masonic Home's Coach H.N. "Rusty Russell" is pictured with Notre Dame's College Hall of Fame Coach Frank Leahy in South Bend, Indiana before the kick-off of the SMU-Notre Dame game in 1951.

Coach Russell often wore this hat and this hat was donated, along with other personal effects, to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame for the new Rusty Russell exhibit. The exhibit was funded by the Masonic Home Ex-Student Association and Coach Russell's Ex-Victoria College players who also provided memorabilia.
