On Nov. 21 1931 the USC Trojans football team coached by Howard Jones defeated the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame 16-14 in South Bend Indiana. It was the seventh straight victory that season for the Trojans who went on to win the National Championship following a 21-12 victory over Tulane in the Rose Bowl on New Years Day 1932. More than 300000 fans welcomed the Trojans home from this thrilling victory in South Bend a victory clinched by what sportswriter Maxwell Stiles called "Johnny Baker's 10 little toes and three BIG points." After trailing 14-0 USC won the game with a Johnny Baker 33-yard field goal with one minute remaining. The win snapped Notre Dame's 26-game unbeaten string and was the Trojans' first win in South Bend. This lot includes an actual game-used multi-signed football from that classic battle that includes 55 signatures from the Trojans 1931 roster. The majority of the signatures in black ink are remarkably intact. Notable names include Team Captain and center Stan Williamson Homer Griffith Henry Biggs Harrold Hammock Tom Mallory Garrett Arbelbide Dick Barber Bob Hall and Ray Sparling.
Includes Letter of Provenance from the Newport Sports Museum.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
