I thought that was Johnston Hall. Check out this map. I am guessing the picture is looking to the south west towards that building:
No, Johnston sits into the natural levee from the Miss River. If you look just to the right of the stadium, you can see this hill. Johnston basically backs up to the stadium and looks nothing like the Art building. And thats Southeast, BTW.
Also, Johnston was built in 1949 so that photo is before then.

is it he back side of Howe Russell?

No, its the Art Building. Howe-Russell is on the other side of the Sculpture Garden.

South East, I was talking that direction but said the wrong way.
Thanks for the info on Johnston Hall. The snow picture is dated Feb 1949, and I have a couple pictures of a flag raising on the parade grounds dated 1942, so this game must be in the mid-40's.
What dorm is this, anyone know?:
