Here’s an amazing 1953 story about Morris Chick, one of the players scolded by L.E. Zieger in 1920 as “a bunch of Spoofhounds,” who wound up with one of the plaster casts of a Spoofhound that was sold during the dedication of the Liberty Memorial.
Included in this very funny stunt was Homer Ogden, president of the school board in 1953, who was also part of the Ziegler scolding. Ogden “borrowed” Chick’s Spoofhound during a visit to set up the punchline that Chick, an employee of Nodaway Valley Bank, would decide to place the statue for safekeeping in the bank’s vault.
The article says the statue was thought to be the only one in existence. But there are multiple statues, including one that I own. The AI colorization/enhancement on a very poor quality Forum photo may not get the participants’ faces right, but it is spot on for Spoofy, as that is a copy of the one I have.
