...turn of the century, the most famous painting in the U.S. was Custer's Last Fight, a huge canvas across which hordes of infuriated redskins hurled themselves at General George A. Custer and the last of his 7th Cavalry at Little Big Horn. The man who made the picture famous was a St. Louis brewer named Adolphus Busch,* co-founder of Anheuser-Busch and inventor of Budweiser beer. Reproduced on outdoor posters and hung in countless saloons, Custer's Last Fight became an amazingly successful advertisement. The company filled 1,000,000 requests for copies in 50 years...

I'd forgotten I sent that up here." Afterward, the President...
...Mature gets an unconscionable amount of nudging from heavenly voices which keep insisting that he is the legendary hero of his people. By the time he accepts his commission from the Great Spirit and wins a couple of cavalry skirmishes, there were apparently not enough extras left to stage Custer's last stand at the Little Bighorn. So, curiously, the picture dispenses with most of it. Suzan Ball flutters her eyelids as Mature's squaw, and Ray Danton, Keith Larsen and Robert Warwick are equally improbable as a trio of braves...
Those nine men play against other colleges, but break up into two teams when facing schools. A tenth man is then needed to fill the second team, Wynn choosing from among Joe Walker, Robyn Dawes, and Ben Custer...
