- Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner (1871-1954). Legendary Football Coach who developed
the single and double wing offenses and other plays. He had career
wins of 312, the most ever until eclipsed by 'Bear' Bryant. The
'Pop Warner League' is named in his honor. Very Rare Autograph
Letter Signed, one page, quarto, 'Temple University Philadelphia'
official imprinted letterhead, dated October 8, 1934. A very
good football related letter to the Nelson-Willard-McIntyre Game
Co. on their new football game. Reads in part:
-
- "…I have had the
pleasure of playing your new football game called Signals and
can say that it is one of the most interesting indoor football
games I have ever seen. What appeals to me is the fact that in
your game there is ample opportunity to use strategy and generalshiop
of the same nature as in a real gridiron battle. This ganme should
appeal to all lovers of football young and old.
- Yours truly,
- Glenn S. Warner".
Warner coached at 7 colleges over 49 years. He brought many innovations
to college football, including the spiral punt, the screen play,
single- and double-wing formations, the naked reverse, the three-point
stance, numbering players' jerseys, and the use of shoulder and
thigh pads. But to many Americans, Warner is best remembered
for starting the Pop Warner Youth Football League in 1929. A
bust portrait has been affixed to the lower right by his signature.
Mounted to another sheet, age toning, overall, very good. Exceptionally
uncommon piece. $1,950.
