CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Jan. 30, 1939
* Glenn "Pop" Warner resigns from Temple Owls
* Official end of his legendary coaching career
* NCAA college football - youth football name fame
The front page of the sport's section has a nice banner headline: "POP WARNER RESIGNS AS COACH OF TEMPLE" with subheads and small photo of Warner. (see images) This would actually be the end of his coaching career.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with 22 pages, rag edition in very nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
AI notes: On January 29, 1939, legendary football coach Glenn "Pop" Warner resigned as head coach of Temple University after six seasons, citing declining team performance and health issues. Warner had led the Owls to national prominence, including an undefeated regular season in 1934 and a Sugar Bowl appearance. His final season ended with a disappointing 3–6–1 record. After stepping down, Warner returned to California, where he continued to contribute to football as an advisor at San Jose State College before his death in 1954.
