For bid is an original 1964-1965 portrait of University of San Francisco Dons basketball player JOE ELLIS as he looked in his JUNIOR year playing basketball at the college / NCAA level for the USF Dons. Photo from the archives of the San Francisco Examiner newspaper. Photo has been painted for publication in the newspaper to accompany an article.
Painting and writing on the front and back.
Looks like an official USF Dons basketball photo from USF Dons news service. He's wearing jersey number 31.
Ellis played several seasons in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors starting in 1966 and ending with the 1974 season...
GREAT photo of a young Ellis (born 1944).
