Illinois football icon Red Grange wins 1924 MVP...



Item # 698423

December 21, 1924

CHICAGO SUNDAY TRIBUNE, Dec. 21, 1924

* Red Grange wins Big Ten football MVP
* Illinois Fighting Illini college football HB
* Chicago Tribune Silver Football award
* Very 1st year of this award (very rare as such)


The front page of the sport's ection has a terrific banner headline for display: "RED GRANGE AWARDED TRIBUNE TROPHY" with subheads and pictorial. (see images) Of course this is the only publication to report this, very rare as such. This was the very 1st year of this award which is still giving out today.
Complete with 40+ pages, light toning and some chipping at the margins but no text loss, generally good. Should be handled with care.

NOTE: This issue comes with a free acid-free folder for protection
