Joe Paterno's 1st game as starter at Brown University...



Item # 721493

November 17, 1946

THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 17, 1946

* Joe Paterno at Brown University (college football)
* Legendary Penn State Nittany Lions head coach


Page 2 of the sport's section (inside) has a banner heading: "Harvard Scores Twice Through Air in Crushing Brown Before 20,000 Fans" with subheads and stats. (see) Paterno is mentioned within the report once and his name also appears in the lineup. (see images) Probably only found in a NYC publication since he was from Brooklyn. Rare as such.
Complete in a thick 80+ page Sunday edition, light toning at the margins, some residue along the spine from disbinding, generally nice.
