Lot 290. 16 University of Maryland Yearbooks Including a 1943-51 Run. Called “The Terrapin,” the yearbooks are for 1921, 1922, 1938, 1941, 1943-51, 1957, 1959 and 1967. Typically, they contain 200 pages or more of photos and text, including an average of about 20 pages on football and basketball. The 1951 edition offers a photo and feature on the university’s first consensus All-American in football, Bob Ward, a guard. It also has photos of Maryland’s second and third All-Americans, Jack Scarbath and Ed Modzelewski. Ward appears also in the 1950 yearbook, along with Ray Krouse, the Terps’ first All-American selection. AP and UPS named him the tackle to their second teams. He subsequently played in the NFL, as did Scarbath and Big Mo. This book has a feature on the Terps’ 20-7 win over Missouri in the Gator Bowl. The 1921 yearbook has a three-page fold-out with individual photos of the school’s football players. On a non-sport note, the 1967 yearbook presents three pages of a young Harry Belafonte, and four pages on Sammy Davis, Jr. Lou Saban was the football coach. The 1921 yearbook is vg, and the 1922 issue, vg-ex. The others average ex to ex-m. Excellent start on a complete collection.
Winning Bid $70.
