TLS signed “K. K. Rockne,” one page, 8.5 x 11, University of Notre Dame letterhead, August 23, 1927. Letter to one of his football players, Eugene Mahoney. In part, “I passed right close to your town this summer…but was in such a hurry that I couldn’t detour enough to drop over…Regarding yourself, however, with Hogan not returning to school this fall and Boland and McManmon graduating, the tackle situation doesn’t look any too well unless you and one or two others come through. You certainly came along nicely this spring and showed splendid improvement—your play in spots was good enough for anyone but in other spots it lacked things that I feel quite confident that you will develop this fall, so come back determined to be one of the right tackles at any cost. I am counting on you.” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some scattered light creasing and soiling. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
