CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Sept. 26, 1932
* Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers
* First game of the year (0-0 tie)
* Bronko Nagurski and Red Grange era
* 1st ever NFL football championship year
* Best publication to be had - very rare
The front page of the sport's section has a one column heading: "BEARS, PACKERS PLAY 0 TO 0 TIE BEFORE 14,000" with subheads and lineups. (see images) This was the year that the NFL had it's very first championship game (playoff) at the end of the season in which the Bears would win. The years prior they would just declare a champion after the regular season. Great to have in this Chicago publication, very rare as such.
Complete with 30 pages, rag edition in great condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
wikipedia notes: The 1932 NFL Playoff Game was the first ever playoff game held by the National Football League (NFL), the major professional American football sports league in the United States. Due to extremely cold weather, the game was played indoors on December 18, 1932 at Chicago Stadium in Chicago. The final score was Chicago Bears 9, Portsmouth Spartans 0.
The game paved the way for a new era of professional American football. After following the rules of college football for its first 13 years of existence, the NFL began to develop its own rules. The popularity of the game also led the league to start holding annual playoff games. Thus, the 1932 NFL Playoff Game is sometimes unofficially called the 1932 NFL Championship Game.
