Rare collection of autographs $449 1943 College All-Stars- This 20" x 11.5" photo of the 1943 All-Stars Football team has been signed by 71 players and coaches Interestingly enough, all the players are wearing All-American sweaters from 1943. (College Football All-Stars who beat the Redskins in a game played at Soldier Field on August 25, 1943 by the score of 27-7). This was taken by Burke and Koretke. The story of Francis Burke is a fascinating one and is featured in the book Henry Yee co-authored with renowned collector Marshall Fogel, Khyber Oser and published by Mastronet (now Mastro Auctions) titled a "A Portrait of Baseball Photography". In short, Francis Burke was a photographer who shot many of the Chicago Cubs portraits and team photos from the 1910's throughout the 1920's. The story goes that in September of 1929, Manager Joe McCarthy and catcher Gabby Hartnett were looking for the team's previous photographer to shoot the National League Champion team photo for promotion of the team in the World Series. They remember the name "Burke" so they looked it up in a phone book and found the listing: "Studio Photographer - George C. Burke" whose office was near Wrigley Field and he agreed to take the photos (without ANY prior experience shooting baseball subjects). Francis Burke never took another Cubs photo and George C. Burke has became one of the most famous of all sports photographers. However, Francis Burke still was shooting football in the Chicago area until the late 30's. This photo included the first, second, third team, and honorable mention All-Americans. Only the players and coaches received these. I think they may have even had to buy them to get them autographed.

Bierman, himself, admitted, "I never made an emotional speech in my life." His teams were as low key and fundamental as his own personality, because Bierman believed in simple, common- sense football. And it won games! Starting in 1919, his University of Montana, Mississippi State, Tulane and Minnesota squads compiled a 146-62-12 record. The "Silver Fox of the Northland" gave Minnesota a 93-35-6 slate over a 16-season span which included six Big Ten Championships, five National Championships and five undefeated campaigns. He produced 14 Gopher All-Americans, including Hall of Famers Pug Lund, Ed Widseth, Dick Wildung, Clayton Tonnemaker, Bruce Smith, and Leo Nomellini. There was nothing razzle-dazzle about Bernie Bierman's tactics. It was straight single-wing football, and he was often chastised for running a "dull" offense. In response to his critics, Bierman replied, "If I found that four or five plays were doing the job, we stuck with them. Still, we probably had more plays than our opponents. I always figured that ball control with good execution is the best thing you can have." He is a member of the College FB HOF. We offer a signed album page from the 1930's in fountain pen..$150 Dana X Bible-(D. 1980) He was a sharp, Scripture-quoting son of a Latin and Greek scholar. Dana X. Bible's unspectacular coaching techniques brought solid, fundamental football to the Southwest. At Mississippi College (1913-1915), LSU (1916), Texas A&M (1917, 1919-28), Nebraska (1926-36), Texas (1937-46) -33 years in all- Bible's teams rolled to a 198-72-23 record. All told, Bible squads won 14 conference championships. Bible frowned on fancy football. His idea of living dangerously was a fake-and-run punt formation on third down. In his book, CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL, Bible outlined the importance of scouting an opponent. He required each of his scouts to answer 42 pages of mimeographed questions on each game, and fill out another eight pages with comments and diagrams. Bible was boss at all times, running his clubs in a logical, well-planned manner. Bible began his career as a prep coach in Tennessee, and diligently studied the outstanding gridiron mentors of his time. In 11 years at Texas A&M, Bible did not have a losing season. At Nebraska, he lost only three games in eight seasons of conference competition. At Texas, Bible went 55-13-2 in his last seven years. He is a member of the College FB HOF. We offer a signed album page from the 1930's in fountain pen..$195 Verlon Biggs-(D. 1994 at age 51) played for the New York Jets (AFL) in Super Bowl III, but felt he didn't receive enough credit for the Jets' playoff win against the Oakland Raiders in the AFL Championship Game that launched them into the Super Bowl.

We offer a signed 3x5 card. $29 Earl Red Blaik- He was head football coach for the United States Military Academy between the 1941 and the 1958 seasons, and for Dartmouth College between the 1934 and the 1940 seasons.

We offer a signed handwritten letter on his letterhead.to famous LA Times sportswriter, Jim Murray thanking him for an article that Murray had written and that he had been tipped off by famous director, Frank Capra .$195 Vic Bottari-(D) College FB HOF. Midway through the 1936 season, California was a struggling 3-4 team that was trailing Southern California 7-6 in the second half. Golden Bear head coach "Stub" Allison looked to the end of his bench and said, "Bottari, get warmed up." The debut of Victor Bottari would transform California into a team that would post a 23-2-1 record over the remainder of his collegiate career. With the ball at mid-field Bottari completed one pass to put Cal at the 31 yard line and another for a touchdown to take the Bears on a two-play drive that proved to be the winning score. The next season saw Bottari become a member of the "Thunder Team" backfield as Cal went undefeated, winning the Pacific Coast and Rose Bowl titles. Losing Rose Bowl coach Frank Thomas of Alabama said after the game, "This California team was tough and that Bottari, ooohhh!" In 1938, California was Pacific Coast co-champion and posted a 10-1 won-lost mark. In his last home game with Cal leading Georgia Tech 13-0, Bottari was substituted for on the next to last play of the game, receiving one of the most thunderous ovations in the history of Memorial Stadium.

In 1933 he led the program to its second championship of the Pacific Coast Conference. The Ducks hired Callison in 1932. In 1933, he coached the Ducks to a 9-1 record and a tie for the Pacific Coast Conference championship with Stanford. Since the two schools did not meet head to head, the decision of which team would play in the Rose Bowl had to be made by the committee. They chose Stanford, on the strength of the school's victory over USC, the only team to have beaten Oregon that year. 1933 would be Callison's best year as the Ducks finished no higher than fourth in the next four seasons. We offer a signed album page signed in fountain pen $35 Joe Carter-(D. 1991) was an American football wide receiver in the National Football League.

Under captain Cochran, the 1896 Tigers have long been ranked as the best Princeton team of football's Pioneer Era. Cochran made them great, using an inbred ability to inspire and endlessly urging them to perform above their normal talents. The Tigers crushed arch rival Yale, 24-6, and finished with a 10-0-1 record. Over the next two campaigns, the Orange and Black were 21-1-1, as Cochran was lauded for his great leadership and play when he was named All-American in 1897. He was as strong as a bull and led by example, as Yale throttled the opposition. In selecting the 1897 All-America team, Caspar Whitney wrote, "The first and surest man for the All-America team is Garrett Cochran of Princeton." He was Princeton captain his last two years. He served as head coach at California in 1898-99 with a 15-1-3 record and at Navy in 1900 with a 6-3 record. Cochran then became president of the Williamsport Wire Rope Company. Cochran was born August 26, 1876 in Driftwood, Pennsylvania. He enlisted in the U.S. Army on July 7, 1917, and served as a lieutenant in the Field Artillery in France. He was on a ship returning to the United States in April, 1918, when he suddenly took ill and died. He was elected to the College FB HOF in 1971. We offer a signed business card sized advertising piece for the 1898 Class at Princeton promoting a first class table board.

Tough signature $75 Charlie Conerly-(D) signed 1959 Topps #65 $95 George Connor-(D. 2003) was a dream lineman with the toughness to stand firm and break up the power-play offenses of enemy clubs. He began his football career at Holy Cross College in 1942 and 1943, then transferred to Notre Dame following World War II. Frank Leahy was returning for a second term as Irish coach, and Connor was to be the best linemen of the era. He opened gaping holes for such outstanding runners as Emil Sitko and Terry Brennan, as Notre Dame rushed to glory once more. During Connor's two seasons in an Irish uniform, he never played in a losing game. The 1946 team finished 8- 0-1, perfection marred only by a scoreless tie with Army. Then, in 1947, it was 9 games of unblemished football. Leahy, looking back to those days, would state: "In the line, we never coached a player superior defensively to tackle George Connor." In 1962 a panel of 400 sports writers and broadcasters selected an all-time Notre Dame eleven. Connor and end Leon Hart each drew 340 votes to share the lead in the balloting. In 1946, Connor was the first winner of the Outland Trophy as the nation's best interior lineman. He was Notre Dame captain in 1947. Connor played eight years with the Chicago Bears and was an all-pro. He is in both the PRO and College FB HOF's.

During this time, Poole amassed no less than seven football, eight baseball and seven basketball letters. In football, he was an All-American choice at Army in 1944, and at Mississippi in 1947 and 1948. His secret was a "feel" for the game, particularly on defense, and the talent was best displayed in the final seconds of the 1946 Army-Navy game. The Cadets were battling to preserve a third straight undefeated season, leading 21-18, when the Midshipmen advanced deep into Army territory. Twice, Poole made game-saving tackles, the last when he hauled Navy's Pete Williams down at the Cadet 4 yard line, ending the final threat with just seven seconds left in the game.

His best remembered quote came from a speech to his team before a 1934 game with arch rival Michigan: "Those fellows are human; they put their pants on one leg at a time." Ohio State won the game 34-0 and thus was founded the Pants Club. Membership goes to any Ohio State player who takes part in a victory over Michigan.

His best season came in 1939, when his team went 9-1-1 and a win in the Pineapple Bowl against Hawaii, 39-6. Stiner coached in one of the greatest upset ties in NCAA history. On October 21, 1933, eleven Beaver "Iron Men" fought USC to a scoreless tie in what many consider to be the greatest game in Oregon State football history. The Trojans, two-time national champions, brought an 80-man squad to Multnomah Stadium in Portland, Oregon, and saw a 25-game win streak splattered by the Beavers. The Beavers did not make a substitution, playing only eleven men, each of whom played both ways for the entire 60 minutes. Stiner was also the head coach of another famous game in Beaver football history. His 1941 team played in the 1942 Rose Bowl. This game produced two important firsts. It was OSU's first-ever trip to the famous New Year's Day classic, and it remains the only Rose Bowl ever played outside of Pasadena, California. The reason for the move out of Pasadena was due to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1941. The game was played at Duke University's Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, with the undefeated Blue Devils picked as 3-1 favorites. Oregon State pulled off the upset and won, 20-16. Stiner, at 38, was the youngest head coach in Rose Bowl history. We offer a signed album page in black fountain pen $50 Carl Storck-(D. 1950) was a co-founder of the National Football League, as well as the founding owner of the Dayton Triangles.

Upon the death of Joe Carr, he served as president of the National Football League. Citing ill health, Storck only held the title of president until 1941. Storck started his football career as a local football hero in Dayton, Ohio, staring for St. Mary's College (now known as Dayton University). After graduation, Stork played semi-pro football for a local team that would later become the Dayton Tirangles. Storck became the team's manager in 1918 and guide his team into the the NFL (then called the American Professional Football Association). He represented Dayton at Ralph Hay's Hupmobile dealership on September 17, 1920. This meeting marked the formation of the NFL. Like nearly all managers, Storck was an unpaid volunteer; he had fulltime employment as a job foreman in the Inspection and Packing Department at the National Cash Register Company. The Triangles would have trouble competing in the increasingly competitive NFL, and Storck would eventual sell them in 1930 to Bill Dwyer, who moved the team to Brooklyn and named them the Brooklyn Dodgers.

During a 20-year coaching career at Lafayette (1919-1923) and Pittsburgh (1924-1938), his teams had a combined record of 144-28- 14. A dour, unmarried Scotsman, Sutherland was hardly a man of excesses or visible emotion. His personality mirrored the cold, calculated techniques of his teams. Pop Warner looked at Sutherland's single wing and admitted, "He put more punch into it than any other coach." In truth, Sutherland's opponents were helpless to his attack. In 1935, with a sophomore-dominated Pitt team, Sutherland led the Panthers to a 7-1-2 record. The next season, his third ranked Panthers went 8-1-1 and beat Washington, 21-0, in the Rose Bowl. In 1937, his team went undefeated and won the national crown, then shocked the country by becoming the first team to publicly decline a Rose Bowl invitation. The older players had already played in Pasadena once and wanted their Christmas holiday. Following his collegiate coaching career, Sutherland turned to professional football for two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and another two seasons with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Tolar helped the Houston Oilers win the first American Football League championship in 1960, and to repeat in 1961. The team finished as runners-up in 1962, when he was the team's Offensive MVP with 1,012 yards and a league record 244 carries. He was named to the Oilers' 30th Anniversary Dream Team chosen by fans in 1989, and was among the top ten all-time rushers in the history of the AFL. We offer a signed 3x5 card from the 1960's $25 Leonard Tose- (D) made a fortune in the trucking industry and was owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. He was known for his lavish lifestyle and eventually lost his fortune because of a gambling addiction and alcoholism. In 1969 Tose bought the Philadelphia Eagles from Jerry Wolman for $16,155,000[1], then a record for a professional sports franchise. Tose's first official act was to fire Coach Joe Kuharich. He followed this by naming former Eagles receiving great Pete Retzlaff as General Manager and Jerry Williams as coach. In 1976 he, along with General Manager Jimmy Murray, lured Dick Vermeil from UCLA to coach the hapless Eagles, who had one winning season from 1962-75. Vermeil's 1980 team lost to Oakland in the Super Bowl. In January 1983, Tose announced that his daughter, Susan Fletcher, the Eagles' vice president and legal counsel, would eventually succeed him as primary owner of the Eagles. In 1985 Tose was forced to sell the Eagles to Norman Braman and Ed Leibowitz, highly successful automobile dealers from Florida, for a reported $65 million to pay off his more than $25 million in gambling debts at Atlantic City casinos.

He served as an anchor for the Texans' (who became the Kansas City Chiefs in 1963) line, and was selected as The Sporting News'' AFL All-League tackle eight consective years, from 1962 through 1969. He was an AFL Western Division All-Star seven times, in 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968 and 1969 before also capturing a pair of All-AFC accolades in 1970-71. His efforts in the upstart league would result in his selection to the American Football League All-Time Team. In Super Bowl IV, Tyrer used his uncanny ability to open a hole for Chiefs running backs, single-handedly taking on two of the Minnesota Vikings's vaunted defensive linemen to help the team to an upset 23-7 victory. Tyrer was named AFL Offensive Lineman of the Year that same year and play in 180 consecutive games for the franchise. Remaining in the Kansas City area following his retirement, Tyrer turned down an opportunity to serve as a scout for the Chiefs. He then spent the next three years as a salesman before tiring of the constant travel and investing in a tire business. However, a mild winter proved to be financially disastrous for Tyrer, who moved on to work for Amway. This series of business misfortunes culminated on September 15, 1980 when Tyrer, the father of four, shot his wife and then committed suicide by turning the gun on himself. Many say that he would be in the Pro FB HOF today if the circumstances of his death hadn't occurred.

The key was teamwork, and Weller took great pride in knowing he had made a measurable contribution to the team effort. It all began in 1933 when the Tigers finished 9-0-0, including a 20- 0 thumping of eventual Rose Bowl champion Columbia. The next year, the ledger read 7-1-0, marred only by a 7-0 loss to rival Yale. Then, again, in 1935, the Tigers were perfect through nine games. Weller received All-America recognition that year. Later, looking back upon his incredible career, Weller would say: "We had one of the finest bunch of football players ever to come to Princeton .in four years, no major opponent ever scored more than one touchdown on us." Indeed, if those Tigers were a great bunch, then Weller was one of the greatest players. Coach Tad Wieman admitted: "I have coached several All-America linemen. Weller was the best."

Wilkinson was an excellent quarterback and guard on coach Bernie Bierman's Minnesota teams of 1934 through 1936, before going to the University of Oklahoma and compiling one of the best records in modern football history. Over 17 years, Wilkinson's Sooners rolled to a 145-29-4 record. Under Wilkinson, Oklahoma was virtually unstoppable, running off winning streaks of 31 and 47 games. Wilkinson's 1950, 1955 and 1956 squads were national champions, and the 1956 Sooners averaged 46.6 points per game. His team won conference championships 14 of 17 years.

Southern Methodist lined up in kick formation at the Texas Christian 37-yard line. Unexpectedly, Bob Finley broke from his punting stance and lofted a long pass toward the goal as Bobby Wilson raced across the chalk lines. Wilson grabbed the falling football on the four, and tumbled into the end zone for the score that gave SMU a 20- 14 victory which many feel was the most important in Southern Methodist gridiron history. Why? Because it led to a Rose Bowl appearance, and despite a 7-0 loss to Stanford, brought $85,000 in revenue - the exact amount needed to pay off the mortgage on the new SMU Stadium. Thus, Wilson's TD catch became known as the $85,000 touchdown. Bobby was one of the game's top little men, an All-America choice in both 1934 and 1935. Coached by Ray Morrison and Matty Bell, his long runs from scrimmage, his punt and kickoff returns and his team leadership not only helped SMU to a 12-game winning streak, but made him the first Southwest back to win All-America laurels. In 1934, Bobby led the Southwest Conference in scoring (48 points), then repeated the feat with 72 points in 1935, when SMU won the Southwest Conference Championship. He was elected to the College FB HOF in 1973.

He then began broadcasting Michigan State sports on MSU's radio station WKAR in a position arranged for him by his coach, Charlie Bachman. In 1934 he was hired as the public-address announcer for the Detroit Lions, who were then owned by the same man, George A. "Dick" Richards, who owned Detroit radio station WJR. Wismer soon began doing a ten-minute daily radio show covering the Lions in addition to his PA duties, while continuing as a student at Michigan State. Wismer achieved the height of his fame as the voice of the Washington Redskins. His first game for the Redskins was a most inauspicious one, their 73-0 loss to the Chicago Bears' great "Monsters of the Midway" team in the 1940 NFL Championship Game. At one point Wismer was a 25% owner of the club as well, with the majority of the stock being retained by founding owner George Preston Marshall. However, the relationship between the two had greatly degenerated by the mid-1950s over several issues, not the least of which was Marshall's steadfast refusal to sign any black players. The relationship dissolved in claims, counterclaims, and litigation, and Marshall then set out to destroy Wismer's future as a broadcaster, with some success. Wismer was also involved for a time in the broadcasting of Notre Dame football. Wismer was a charter owner in the AFL, which was announced in 1959 and began actual play in 1960. He was the only owner with experience in sports team ownership and in broadcasting. He had been a part owner of the Detroit Lions and the Washington Redskins. His New York franchise was nicknamed the "Titans". Wismer devised a plan in which the proceeds from the broadcast rights to league games (initially with ABC) would be shared equally by all teams, very innovative at the time but setting the standard for all future professional football television broadcasting contracts. As Wismer owned what would seem to have been the most potentially lucrative franchise, especially with regard to broadcasting rights, in the nation's largest media market, the act seemed at first blush most generous for a self-described "hustler". We offer a signed 3x5 card signed by Wismer $295 Gary Wood-(D. 1994 at the age of 52) was an American football quarterback in the National Football League from 1964 until 1969. The 5'11'' quarterback was drafted out of Cornell University in the 1964 NFL Draft by the New York Giants in the eighth round. He later played in the CFL. Wood was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame on March 24, 1996. We offer a signed 3x5 card while he was playing for the Giants $50 Robert Zuppke-(D. 1957) The agile brain of Bob Zuppke gave more to the game of football than most could ever hope to donate. As Illinois coach from 1913 through 1941, Zuppke was the innovator of "pocket" and "screen" passing, "strategy maps" for quarterbacks, and was the first coach to use the 5-4-2 defense. His Fighting Illini rolled to a 131-81-13 record on the way to seven conference championships and two runner- up finishes. Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1879, Zuppke was two years old when his family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was still coaching at Illinois 60 years later. During the Zuppke years, Illinois' per-game attendance rose from 4,500 to 60,000. Zuppke's record his first 17 seasons was 77-27-8. He did no recruiting, and losing years followed. He gave witty speeches, and his philosophical remarks were called Zuppkeisms. These are the seven best known Zuppkeisms: 1, never let hope elude you; that is life's biggest failure; 2, the greatest athlete is one who can carry a nimble brain to the place of action; 3, moral courage is the result of respect from fellow men; 4, a good back should keep his feet at all times and never lose his head; 5, men do their best if they know they are being observed; 6, alumni are loyal if a coach wins all his games; 7, advice to freshmen: don't drink the liniment. He is a member of the College FB HOF. We offer a signed album page from the 1930's while he was at Illinois in fountain pen. Gorgeous $195 Team Signed Footballs1936 East-West Shrine game- signed football with over 30 signatures on it plus a program This game football was given to Don Erwin of Colgate because he was named most outstanding player of the game. The family tells the story that Erwin immediately handed the ball to lineman Ed Antonini of Indiana and declared him the real MVP for the key plays in the game. Antonini then took the ball around to the players and had everyone sign it. Most of the players were at least drafted in the first NFL draft. Historical!
