Nov. 12, 1945 “Time” Magazine Signed by Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard.
Lot 356. Nov. 12, 1945 “Time” Magazine Signed by Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. Arguably college football’s best ever backfield duo, Blanchard and Davis were largely responsible for Army’s record of 27-0-1 between 1944 and 1946. Blanchard was known as “Mr. Inside,” while Davis was “Mr. Outside.” They were known as the “Touchdown Twins” because together, they scored 97 touchdowns, a college record that stood until 2007. Blanchard was the 1945 Heisman Trophy winner, and Davis, the 1946 winner. After graduating from West Point, both, of course, served in the military. Afterwards, Blanchard continued his military career as a pilot, achieving the rank of colonel. Davis played for one season with the Los Angeles Rams before a knee injury ended his career. Both men are in the College Football Hall of Fame. The magazine, which has a mailing label, is vg-ex. Both sharpie signatures are bold mint 9s to gem mint 10s. Davis passed away in 2005, and Blanchard, in 2009. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $134.
