Description

A year after becoming the first southern Heisman winner, Sinkwich puts his team first

Frank Sinkwich was the first player from the South to win the Heisman Trophy. He set SEC single-season records for rushing, passing and total offense. He put together one of the best all-around performances ever in a bowl game. He was one of the greatest offensive players in college football history. TLS, one page, 5.25 x 5.5, University of Georgia letterhead, February 24, 1943. Sinkwich attempts to answer an admirer’s question. In part, “I would like to be able to answer your question as who the five best players on the team were. In my estimation they all contributed a great deal to the success of the team and I can not find it very easy to point out any particular five.” In very good condition, with scattered light toning, mounting remnants to each corner tip and several small tape repairs to front and back. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
