CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, January 5, 1942

* Chicago Bears vs. Pro football all-stars
* Post Pearl Harbor Pro Bowl
* Best title to be had ? (rare)

The front page of section 2 (sports) has a nice banner headline: "BEARS DEFEAT LEAGUE ALL-STARS, 35 TO 24" with subheads, lineups and related photo. Nice for display.
Much on World War II with nice front page headline. Complete with all 34 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
