Fourth annual Outland Award presented in 1949 to Michigan State guard Ed Bagdon. Dr. John Outland conceived the award in 1946 to recognize the position of interior lineman in college football. The plaque has a bronze figure of a lineman adorning a leather helmet in a two-point stance with his hand on the turf. The top reads, ''Dr. John H. Outland Award to the Outstanding College Guard or Tackle of the Year Selected by the Football Writers Association of America''. At the bottom, engraved on a copper strip, ''Ed Bagdon-Michigan State College-Guard 1949''. Plaque measures 9.25'' x 12.5'', in near fine condition with light scratching. One of college football's most prestigious awards, this is the oldest Outland Trophy to go on the auction market.
