Versatile Native American athlete (1887–1953), widely regarded as the finest all-around athlete of the twentieth century, who won two Olympic gold medals and excelled in football, baseball, and basketball. His Olympic medals were stripped from him for an ostensible violation of the amateur status rule (Thorpe had earlier played minor-league baseball) but were posthumously restored to him in 1983. For his sheer dominance on the gridiron, the diamond, the hardwood, and even as an Olympian, Jim Thorpe is revered as arguably the finest all-around athlete of the 20th Century. Vintage color printed 1952 football schedule for the University of Santa Clara, 2.5 x 4.25, signed and inscribed on the reverse in fountain pen, “For Mary and Billy Jones, Jim Thorpe 1952.” A bit of scattered light soiling, and old tape toning to two corners, otherwise fine condition.
