Item # 633274 ·
TAUNTON DAILY GAZETTE, Massachusetts, November 10, 1928  A one column head on page 5: "ARMY FAVORED IN GAME WITH ROCKNE CREW" with brief text. (see) This was the game that had Notre Dame as big underdogs and was famous for Knute Rockne's famous 'Win one for the Gipper' speech at halftime. Notre Dame would pull off the upset in the second half.
The front page announces: "Hirohito On Throne As New Emperor of Japan" with several subheads.
Fourteen pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
