 Lot 146. Stereoview of the 1893 Football Game Between National Champion Princeton and Yale. Two football powerhouses met in New York City on Thanksgiving Day in 1893 to determine the top team in the country. Each team was undefeated after 10 games. Yale had yielded only six points while scoring 330; Princeton had outscored its opponents, 264-14. As is often the case in such games, strong defenses stifled high-scoring offenses. The Tigers eked out a 6-0 victory to capture the mythical national title. Published by Strohmeyer & Wyman Publishers of New York, the stereoview presents two strong sepia photos that show the crowd and game action. Ex-m.

The box shows wear and the paste-down with the football players and fans has chips at the edges and corners, a couple of heavy creases and some light stains. It shows well and will make a very nice addition to a vintage collection of football display items. Inside the box are some crayons, chalk and a ruler from the Eagle Pencil Co. of New York.

The Dallas team selected him in the third round of the 1991 draft. With the Cowboys, he had 111 tackles and two interceptions.

Myles’ name is on the jersey back, and his number 98 is on the front and back. From top to bottom, the jersey is about 41” long. The pants, size 48 from Apex, also have the “95” tag and an “Equipment NFL” patch. Both the jersey and the pants appear to be unused. Great example of a Cowboys uniform!

 Lot 220. Autograph of Football Executive Joe Foss on a Grinnell Print, “Number Twenty for Joe.” Foss was the leading U.S. Marine Corps fighter ace of World War II with 26 kills, a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the 20th governor of South Dakota and commissioner of the American Football League during most of its existence. He has a good chance to make it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Foss passed away in 2003. His pencil signature on the print is a 10. Grinnell’s artwork shows Foss, flying an F4F-4 Wildcat, shooting down a Japanese bomber on Jan. 25, 1943, for his 20th victory of the war. He shot down two additional planes that day. The 24” x 30” lithograph, #603 of 1250, is from Roy Grinnell’s “American Fighter Aces” series. Grinnell also signed the nm-m print, which has an image of Foss next to his signature. Comes with an American Fighter Aces Certificate of Authenticity. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $154.
