The front page of the sport's section (page 45) has a two column heading: "Trophy to Tennessee" top 10 list. (see images)
Complete with 38 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.

Background: On December 4, 1951, the Associated Press and United Press officially named General Robert Neyland’s undefeated Tennessee Volunteers as the college football national champions, marking a historic apex for both the program and the single-wing offensive era. Finishing a flawless 10–0 regular season led by All-American halfback Hank Lauricella, the Vols dominated their SEC rivals and secured the consensus AP and UPI titles under the era’s polling rules, which awarded championships prior to postseason play. This distinction became especially significant when Tennessee subsequently lost 28–13 to Maryland in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1952; despite the bowl upset, the pre-postseason voting criteria meant the Volunteers permanently retained their crowned status, cementing 1951 as the second consecutive consensus national championship season for Neyland’s legendary defense-first program and forever etching this specific date into Tennessee football lore.
