On the opening day of the Iowa State Fair, university photographer Chris Gannon captured some of Iowans' interest in the university's exhibit at the Varied Industries Building. As part of a yearlong commemoration of the legacy of student-athlete Jack Trice, planners made his story the focus of the fair exhibit this summer. It includes photos and other archival information, a prototype of the 1923-inspired football uniform the Cyclone team will wear for a home game on Oct. 7, and a scale wood replica of artist Ivan Toth Depeña's Breaking Barriers sculpture north of Jack Trice Stadium.
Trice died in Oct. 8, 1923, from injuries suffered during a football game several days earlier.
