Paul Brown took over the head coaching responsibilities at Washington High School in Massillon OH in 1932 to turn around a struggling football program. From 1935 to 1940 the Tigers lost only one game posted a 35 game winning streak on the way to 6 straight State Championships and 4 National High School championships. For 1940 the tigers were 11-0 including 10 shut outs while outscoring opponents an incredible 477-6. The yearbook offered here is from 1941 which devotes 16 pages to the incredible 1940 season. The pages chronicle the 1940 season with game recaps and includes plenty of black and white player photos and ends with a photo of Paul Brown that has been signed by the young coach in crisp red ball point pen. The autograph is very sharp and shows little to no signs of fading and would rate a 9-10/10. After the 1940 season Brown left Washington HS to take over the Ohio State Buckeye job and eventually the Cleveland Brown and Cincinnati Bengals
