Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated June 1, 1963 partially reads "Since the beginning of football history one of the marks of a player has been an incomplete set of teeth to show for his gridiron combat, but the Valley Dental Society and the National Alliance Football Rules Committee are taking positive action to end the preponderance of dental plates among football players. In the picture at left five dentists of the Dental Society, who volunteered their services, fit Chatsworth High School football players with custom mouth pieces (intra-oral mouth protectors)."
