re: I found some UGA yearbooks from 1947-1950 and thought y’all might like some pictures

The bulbous thing on the left? That's gotta be a light. The cylindrical thing on the right looks like some kind of transformer box usually found on power poles.

Speakers back then were usually wired and mounted directly to (sometimes on top of) the announcers booth.

Now that I think of it, they likely didn't have stadium lights in Columbus Memorial Stadium back in the 40's and 50's and played all games in daylight (as Shug wisely noted that all college games should be played), so I have no idea what its for or why its there. A light for stadium maintenance, maybe?

But, as Aubie originally pointed out, that's a crappy place to put a light pole. Columbus has always been good at doing things on the cheap.
