A Collection of 43 Spalding's Football Rule Books
New York: American Sports Publishing, 1903-1930. Some are in wrappers; some bound either with or without wrappers; many with notes, mostly pencil, and various enclosures, printed and holograph. These were the property of player and coach (mostly at the University of Chicago) Amos Alonzo Stagg, and his name is embossed on many covers, and while we are unfamiliar with his writing, presumably many, if not most or all, of the notes are in his hand. This is an extensive collection, but evidently not complete with every rule book from every year, and there are some duplicates. The condition varies, as expected in publications intended for use on the playing field; generally very good.
