About this Item
Well-known Lafayette University football star who played halfback on their 1921 national championship team -- the last living member of that team at his death; later a running back for the Pottsville Maroons and Philadelphia Quakers. ANS, 1p, 5½" X 7", Easton, PA, 1977 May 31. Addressed to Richard C. Laade. Near fine. In response to a plea (also present) from this researcher "attempting to locate a number of Lafayette alumni who have played in the N.F.L.," Marhefka replies boldly in blue ballpoint, in part: "In addition to making necessary corrections, I have added three names of Laf. alumni who were quite prominent in pro football, their names are Leonard Brunner '24 Bull Lowe '19 and John Scott '19." The researcher's 8½" X 11" query for assistance in locating Lafayette alumni is present, on which Marhefka has inked the names he referred to. With original envelope, addressed in Marhefka's hand and signed again. Seller Inventory # 36507
