So I hunted down his obit in the March 15, 1987, Chicago Tribune, and yes, this is him.

  1. Tony Kelly lettered at Marquette in the 1939-40 season, per the all-time roster in a previous media guide (https://s3.amazonaws.com/gomarquette.com/documents/2012/1/23/_marq_m_baskbl_2011_12_misc_non_event__mediaguide_mbb_1112.pdf)
