Here are more Southern Pacific menus featuring covers by Bay Area artist Michel Kady. These were used during a trip by the 1934 University of Southern California football team to play the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. USC lost that game 20-6 and did not have a good season that year, winning only one of their in-conference games (against Oregon) and tying one (against Oregon State).

The first menu shows a golf course “along California’s scenic coast line,” which probably means Pebble Beach. The fully priced a la carte dinner menu inside is dated Wednesday, October 10. It is possible that a table d’hôte insert was included but has since been lost.

The third menu shows a painting of Lake Tahoe. The menu inside is dated October 12 but otherwise is the same as the other two. The back covers of these menus, incidentally, lists the people going on this trip: 44 players, 17 staff members, and 36 “guest” (no doubt alumni). The three different categories are separated by cute little swastikas that would never be used today.
While yesterday’s menu was from my own collection, I borrowed these three from the Texas Compound, a small commercial development outside of Austin that features several Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Burlington, and other railroad menus on its web site. By my count, they have more than 230 different menus as well as some other memorabilia. While I don’t normally show items from other web sites here, in this and a few other cases I do to provide a context for items from my own collection (such as yesterday’s menu).
The fact that all of these Michel Kady menus were used on special trains suggests that this menu series was dedicated to such trains and not used for ordinary passengers. In the late 1930s, this same function was served by SP’s black-and-white menu series.
