THE NEW YORK TIMES, Massachusetts, December 13, 1939

* Texas A & M Aggies declared national champions
* Nile Kinnick wins Walter Camp trophy
* Iowa Hawkeyes - NCAA college football
* Douglas Fairbanks death


Page 40 has a small one column heading: "Camp Trophy to Kinnick"
Also page 38 has one column headings that include: "TEXAS AGGIES WIN IN FINAL BALLOTING" "Southwest Champions Rated No. 1 Team of Nation in Associated Press Poll" and more with standings. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Pages 29 & 30 have 1st report coverage on the death of famous actor Douglas Fairbanks with pictorial
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 54 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
