Renowned athletic coach (1862–1965) whose versatile skills earned him places in both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Basketball Hall of Fame. TLS signed “Lon Stagg,” one page, 7.75 x 10, University of Chicago letterhead, October 30, 1925. Letter to Roy Vernon of the Chicago Daily News. In part: “You and Mrs. Vernon certainly took your lives in your hands in your effort to see the Chicago-Penn game and your accident added another depressing touch to the very depressing day. Of course, I was disappointed in the showing that the team made and felt that they did not take advantage of the opportunities they had to score as they might have, but each week leaves mighty little time for regrets and we are all set again for the game with Purdue, tomorrow.” In fine condition, with faint intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature). After losing by a touchdown to Penn, Chicago was indeed ready for Purdue—they won 6 to 0, despite finishing the 1925 season with a losing record.
