THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, December 28, 1959

* Baltimore (Indianapolis) Colts vs. New York Giants
* NFL football championship title game


The front page has a banner headline above the masthead: "Colts Cut Down Giants, 31-16" Unfortunately there are two library stamps within this heading which affects its appearance somewhat. The sport's section (page 29) has a three column headline: "'Whirlway' Colts Win It" Also: "'Colt Defense Is What Beat Us'" and 3 related photos. First report coverage on the 1959 professional National Football League championship between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 pages, some small binding holes along the spine, again the two library stamps a the top of the front page, otherwise nice.
