Sports MemorabiliaHigh School - College Yearbooks1909 Notre Dame- The DOME - NR MT condition. This book looks practically new. You can tell by the paper it's printed on that it's 100 years old, but the condition is phenomenal. It features Red Miller (father of Creighton Miller), Pete Dwayer (captain of the football team) It has been said to sum up the football season, Notre Dame continued its success during this time and achieved their first victory over Michigan in 1909 by the score of 11-3 after which Michigan refused to play Notre Dame again for 33 years. Back then they only printed up maybe a few hundred of these yearbooks as the students would order them $995 1920 Notre Dame-The DOME - EX-NR MT - features George Gipp and Coach Knute Rockne in his 3rd year as the head coach. Also features a picture of the 1919 team with Gipp, Rockne, Slip Madigan, Gus Dorais (as assistant coach), Hunk Anderson, George Trafton (who may be the first player from Notre Dame elected to the Pro Football HOF). One of the big events of the 1920 season occurred when Notre Dame was nearly upset, as Indiana lead the undefeated Irish 10-0 in Indianapolis. With Gipp out with a shoulder injury the Irish fight back to score and close the gap to 10-7. Then Rockne sends in Gipp to score the final touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Some feel that this injury weakened Gipp and left him suseptible to the infection that killed him four weeks later.

Great book $995 Harry Agganis -nicknamed "The Golden Greek", was an American athletic star in two sports. Agganis was a star football player at Boston University, primarily at quarterback. After a sophomore season in 1949, when he set a school record by tossing fifteen touchdown passes, he entered the Marine Corps. Agganis played for the Camp Lejeune (N.C.) football and baseball teams. He received a dependency discharge from the Marines to support his mother and returned to college to play in 1951-52. Agganis became the school's first All-American in football. Agganis set another Boston University mark by passing for 1,402 yards (1,282 m) for the season and won the Bulger Lowe Award as New England's outstanding football player. Coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns thought he could be the successor to Otto Graham and drafted the college junior in the first round of the 1952 NFL Draft, offering him a bonus of $25,000. Boston Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey outdid Brown, however, and signed Agganis to play Major League Baseball for the Red Sox as a first baseman for $35,000. Following his 1953 college graduation, Agganis played with the Triple-A Louisville where he hit .281 with 23 home runs and 108 RBI. He made his major league debut on April 13, 1954. Agganis had a modest rookie campaign, though he did lead American League first basemen in assists and fielding percentage. In 1955, Agganis was off to a good start, but on June 2, he was hospitalized with pneumonia after complaining of severe fever and chest pains. Though he rejoined the Red Sox ten days later, he fell ill again in Kansas City on June 27 and was flown back to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he died of a pulmonary embolism. Ten thousand mourners attended his wake. Agganis was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1974. We offer his 1947 Classical High School yearbook. It's in nice shape and Agganis is pictured on 6 separate pages. Extremely rare. $495 Mildred Ella ("Babe") Didrikson - was an American athlete named by the Guinness Book of Records, along with Lottie Dod, as the most versatile female competitor. She achieved outstanding success in golf, basketball, and track and field. Zaharias had her greatest year in 1950 when she completed the Grand Slam of the three women's majors of the day, the U.S. Open, the Titleholders Championship, and the Western Open, in addition to leading the money list. That year, she became the fastest LPGA golfer to ever reach 10 wins, doing so in one year and 20 days, a record still standing. She was the leading money-winner again in 1951, and in 1952 took another major with a Titleholders victory, but illness prevented her from playing a full schedule in 1952-53. However, this did not stop her from also becoming the fastest player to reach 20 wins (two years and four months). Babe Didrickson Zaharias was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1953, and even after undergoing cancer surgery, she made a comeback in 1954. She took the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average, her only win of that trophy, and her 10th and final major with a U.S. Women's Open championship, one month after the cancer surgery. With this win, she became the second-oldest woman to ever win a major LPGA championship tournament (behind Fay Crocker). Babe Zaharias now stands third to Crocker and Sherri Steinhauer). These wins, made her the fastest player to reach 30 wins (five years and 22 days)[7]. In addition to continuing tournament play, she also served as the president of the LPGA from 1952 to 1955. Her colon cancer recurred in 1955, and that limited her schedule to eight golfing events that season, but she managed two wins, which stand as her final ones in competitive golf. The cancer was a fatal one, and Babe Zaharias died at the John Sealy Hospital in Galveston, Texas. At the time of her death, at age forty-five, she was still in the front ranks of female golfers. We offer an an extremely scarce 1930 BEAUMONT HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK. Her name is spelled DIDRIKSEN which is somewhat ironic as today her name is most commonly misspelled Didrickson. She is pictured twice in the yearbook. This is from her jr. year. GREAT EYE APPEAL. $495 |
