Two sheets, each measuring 8½" x 11". Paper toned, each with an old horizontal and vertical fold, a few bumps and small tears along the edges, one sheet with two tiny holes along the folds as well as a brief ink note on the verso, very good overall. Two sheets of football plays by legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne, written in his hand on his official University of Notre Dame letterhead, with the final two entries on the first sheet referencing plays on the second sheet. The second sheet includes a depiction of the famous Notre Dame Box formation, as well as passing plays, which Rockne played a major role in developing in football. Historian largely attribute Notre Dame’s 1913 defeat of Army to the incorporation of the previously seldom-seen forward pass; quarterback Charlie Dorais repeatedly threw the ball downfield to end Knute Rockne, leading the team to a 35-13 victory. Rockne would go on to become Notre Dame’s head coach in 1918. During 13 years as head coach, Rockne led Notre Dame to 105 victories, 12 losses, five ties and three national championships. For nearly 100 years, Rockne has held the highest all-time winning percentage (.881) for a major college football coach. After leading Notre Dame to back-to-back national championships, his time in the game was cut short when he was killed in a plane crash in 1931. A rarely seen insight into the play-making mind of the man regarded by many as the greatest college football coach, and one of the most important figures in the history of the game.…
