Document 179352

GERALD R. FORD
College football hero.
Photograph of an illustration signed: "Gerald Ford". Color, 8x11. At the University of Michigan, Gerald Ford was a center on Michigan's undefeated championship football teams of 1932 and 1933. He was voted the team's most valuable player in 1934, and in 1935 he was selected as a College All-Star. When Ford graduated with a liberal arts degree in 1935, he refused offers from the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions to play professional football. He decided instead to coach football and boxing at Yale University. Ford coached at Yale from 1935 to 1940. In 1938 he began to take law courses, and he was in the top third of his class when he received his degree from Yale Law School in 1941. Ink notations on verso (no show through). Fine condition.
