ALS signed “John Wooden, Purdue 1932,” two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, Central Junior–Senior High School letterhead, March 12, 1943. Letter to an admirer. In part: “It is very difficult to answer your question as to the three greatest players I have ever seen…It is hard to compare collegiate and professional players. However, as to all around ability the following players are among the best that I have ever seen or had the privilege of playing with or against…all were truly great. Bob McDermott—Dusquesne, ‘Hank’ Luisetti—Stanford, Charles Hyatt—Pittsburgh, Robert Vandiver—Franklin, ‘Fats’ Jenkins—New York Rens, ‘Stretch’ Murphy—Purdue, John Burch—Dusquesne, Robert Kessler—Purdue…those mentioned are or were all truly great players.” Left edge of both pages affixed to a slip of wallpaper, scattered toning and wrinkling, and collector’s notations to top of first page, otherwise fine condition. Three years later, Wooden would begin an incredible 29-year run as head coach of UCLA, coaching such greats as Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton.
