Washington, DC: (Privately Printed for the Author). Very Good. 1919. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. 17 & [1] pages; Publisher's grey mottled wrappers, front cover with text printed in black within a framing pair of grey rules. Frontispiece etching by W. B. Wallace, with tissue guard on which an explanatory text is printed in red. With a full page photograph reproduced in gravure, also with tissue guard, and one text figure reproducing the Burnes Mantel. Clean and tight in the original wrappers and sewing. Minor split along the top of the spine, and some scrappy tears (minor loss along the bottom) to the Yapp (overhanging) edges of the wrappers. This text was presented by the author as a paper read to the Columbia Historical Society in Washington on February 25, 1919. The text was eventually published in the society's annual volume for 1920 [Records of the Columbia Historical Society, Washington, D.C. volume 23 (1920): pp. 1-9]. But this separate edition as a pamphlet is explained by a short note on the leaf following the title page: "The writer has printed a few copies of this sketch for presentation to friends, front-page by a practically unknown etching from a private plate made by William H. Wallace, of Bedford Park, New York, about 1896, from views taken before that date..." [This etching does not appear in the subsequent 1920 text contained in volume 23 of the Society's 'Records']. "An effective picture of the cottage in its final stage, and possibly its last authentic portrait, from an unpublished photograph by T. A. Mullet, of Washington, made in 1894, is shown with his permission." [This photograph is reproduced in gravure, with a similar tissue guard with text printed in red. As with the etching, Mullet's photograph does not appear in the 1920 'Records' version of Hood's text]. Inscribed in ink on the front free endpaper: "To my long-time friend / Mr. W. B. Hibbs / with the compliments of / The Author." [In 1889, William B. Hibbs purchased a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and founded the investment firm that later became Folger Nolan Fleming Douglas Incorporated. He became President of the Washington Stock Exchange and one of the wealthiest men in Washington. Hibbs commissioned a building for his brokerage firm at 725 15th Street NW. Designed by Bruce, Price & de Sibour, architects, the lower portion of the building was set aside for W. B. Hibbs & Co. and contained a banking room in the front and a stock trading room in the rear section. The architects set aside the upper floors for their Washington headquarters. The building was designed in the French renaissance style of the day and built of white marble upon a steel frame. As such, the building was considered fireproof. Upon completion, the total cost of the building was estimated to exceed $250,000. Luckily, it stands today, now known as the Folger building]. The subject of this text is David Burnes, who owned a farm occupying the center of the tract along the Potomac which was selected by the U. S. Congress in 1790 as the site of the new Capital city -- Washington. The house, or cottage, which Burnes built was the oldest dwelling in Washington, and stood near the present location of the Pan-American building. Burnes' farm included what is now the White House and its grounds, all of the National Mall, the Smithsonian museum buildings, and much more. George Washington considered "Davy" Burnes the most obstinate man he ever met. Burnes died May 9, 1799. His daughter Marcia married a wealthy congressman from New York, John Peter VanNess, in 1802. The VanNess's built a spendid mansion nearby on the grounds of her birthplace, but she maintained her father's cottage until her death in 1832. After her husband's death in 1846, the cottage went to ruin. After having been damaged by a serious storm, it was pulled down in May, 1894. The author visited the dwelling in 1893. As President of the Columbia Athletic Club, whose new grounds included the site, Hood was allowed to remove the old mantelpiece from the Burnes cottage, which he had cleaned of several coats of paint ... "to clean and renovate it, but on no account to undertake to restore it." In 1915, Hood gave the historic Burnes mantel to the Columbia Historical Society. ., (Privately Printed for the Author), 1919, 3, New York: Atheneum, 1984. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. Good/Good. Format is approximately 9.5 inches by 11.25 inches. [2], 218, [4] pages. Illustrations (some in color). DJ has some wear and soiling. Foreword by Jack Whitaker. Includes sections on The Coach The Thirties; The Trophy The Forties; The Records The Fifties; The Candidates The Sixties; The Spirit The Seventies, and The History The Eighties. The last Section is The Speech. Offers profiles of each Heisman Trophy winner from the first winner, Jay Berwanger, in 1935 to Mike Rozier in 1983, and traces the history of the award. Among those profiled are: Tom Harmon, Paul Hornung, Roger Staubach, Steve Spurrier, O. J. Simpson, Jim Plunkett, Archie Griffin, Marcus Allen, and Herschel Walker. The Heisman Memorial Trophy (usually known colloquially as the Heisman Trophy or The Heisman) is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work. It is presented by the Heisman Trophy Trust in early December before the postseason bowl games. The award was created by the Downtown Athletic Club in 1935 to recognize "the most valuable college football player east of the Mississippi", and was first awarded to University of Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger. After the death in October 1936 of the club's athletic director, John Heisman, the award was named in his honor and broadened to include players west of the Mississippi. Heisman had been active in college athletics as a football player; a head football, basketball, and baseball coach; and an athletic director. It is the oldest of several overall awards in college football, including the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, and the AP Player of the Year. The Heisman and the AP Player of the Year honor the outstanding player, while the Maxwell and the Walter Camp award recognizes the best player, and the Archie Griffin Award recognizes the most valuable player. It was first known simply as the DAC Trophy. The first winner, Jay Berwanger, was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles but declined to sign for them. He never played professional football for any team. In 1936, John Heisman died and the trophy was renamed in his honor. Larry Kelley, the second winner of the award, was the first man to win it as the "Heisman Trophy". The first African American player to win the Heisman was Syracuse's Ernie Davis, who never played a snap in the NFL. He was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after winning the award and died in 1963. In 1966, former Florida Gators quarterback Steve Spurrier gave his Heisman trophy to the university president, Dr. J. Wayne Reitz, so that the award could be shared by Florida students and faculty. The gesture caused Florida's student government to raise funds to purchase a replacement trophy for Spurrier. Since then, the Downtown Athletic Club has issued two trophies to winners, one to the individual and a replica to his college., Atheneum, 1984, 2.5<

[14], 255, [1] pages. Illustrations (some with color). Index. DJ has wear, tears, soiling, and chips. Foreword by John Underwood. Loran Smith has spent most of his professional life at the University of Georgia. After graduation and during that time has held positions as Assistant Sports Information Director, Business Manager, and Executive Director of the Georgia Bulldog Club, and member of the Athletic Association Development Office. He's also served as executive producer of the football coach's television show, packager of the game radio broadcasts, host of the Mark Richt post-game locker room show, and sideline reporter during the games. He still serves as co-host of the pre-game Tailgate Show, Throughout his career he has been a prolific author. He has written a number of books including: "Glory, Glory" (with Lewis Grizzard), "Fifty Years on the Fifty" (the Orange Bowl story); "Dooley's Dawgs" (with Vince Dooley); "Between the Hedges" (story of Georgia's first 100 years of football); "Let a Dead Horse Rest;" "Let the Big Dog Eat" (with his wife, Myrna, a collection of tailgate recipes); "Finish the Drill" (the inside story of Georgia's 2002 championship season); "Beloved Dawgs" (four years of David Pollack and David Greene); "Wally's Boys" (story of Wally Butts' years as head football coach); The Athens Sketchbook" (history of Athens and UGA); and book--"The Football Vault" (the story of Georgia football from 1892-2007). On January 1, 1965, the Texas vs. Alabama Orange Bowl was the first college bowl game to be televised live in prime time. "Fifty Years on the Fifty: The Orange Bowl Story celebrates a milestone anniversary in the best possible way . . . by looking back on the past 50 years of Orange Bowl football with insight, humor and pride. This monumental volume tells the whole history of this famous bowl, from its modest beginnings to its position as one of the most famous events in all sport." The Orange Bowl is an annual American college football bowl game played in the Miami metropolitan area. It has been played annually since January 1, 1935, making it, along with the Sugar Bowl and the Sun Bowl, the second-oldest bowl game in the country, behind the Rose Bowl (first played 1902, played annually since 1916). The Orange Bowl is one of the New Year's Six, the top bowl games for the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The Orange Bowl was originally held in the city of Miami at Miami Field before moving to the Miami Orange Bowl stadium in 1938. In its early years, the Orange Bowl had no defined conference tie-ins; it often pitted a team from the southeastern part of the country against a team from the central or northeastern states. From the 1950s until the mid-1990s, the Orange Bowl had a strong relationship with the Big Eight Conference. The champion (or runner-up in years in which the ?no-repeat? rule was invoked) was invited to the bowl game in most years during this time; the 1979 Orange Bowl even had two representatives from the Big Eight. Opponents of the Big Eight varied; but were often major independents, runners-up in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), or champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Since 2007, the Orange Bowl has hosted the ACC champion?unless they are involved in the national championship playoff, in which case another high-ranking ACC team takes their place)?and has used the brand Home of the ACC Champion., The East Woods Press in association with the Orange Bowl Committee, 1983, 2.25, New York: Atheneum, 1984.
