September 24, 1934
THE NEW YORK TIMES, Sept. 24, 1934
* Detroit Lions very 1st football game
* NFL - National Football League
* In a Detroit publication (very rare)
Page 22 has a one column heading: "FOOTBALL GIANTS BEATEN IN DETROIT" with subhead and lineups. (see images)
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with 36 pages, light toning and a little wear along the margins, generally in good condition.
wikipedia notes: The 1934 Detroit Lions season was the fifth in franchise history and the first in Detroit; the franchise had previously played as the Portsmouth Spartans in Portsmouth, Ohio, a city with a population of approximately 40,000. Under head coach Potsy Clark, the Lions won their first ten games (of which the first seven were shutouts) then lost three straight in an eight-day span to end the season at 10–3. They finished in second place in the NFL Western Division, three games behind the undefeated Chicago Bears.
