1938 St. Mary's Team Autographed (38) Football Program 1939 Cotton Bowl Champs

Description: This fantastic program for the game against the Fordham Rams features the very respectable 6-2 football team from St. Marys where 36 players signed in the photo section in vintage period fountain pen. The Athletic Director And Coaches page is signed in pencil by St.

Marys Athletic Director, Head Coach, and future College Football Hall of Fame Member Edward P. Slip Madigan as well as by Pat Frayne, sports editor of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin newspaper. Marys Gaels, huge underdogs, defeated the heavily favored and previously undefeated 10-0 Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 20-13 in the 1939 Cotton Bowl. Although largely forgotten today, at the time it was considered one of the biggest upsets in the history of college football. The 1939 Cotton Bowl was the first post-season game for St.

Marys and the only bowl game they ever won. See websites: 1939 Cotton Bowl Summary & History. Marys Gaels football players from the 1939 Cotton Bowl who signed this program include: Andy Marefos, Ed Heffernan (scored a touchdown), Michael Mike Klotovich (scored a touchdown), Herb Whitey Smith (recovered a fumble which led to a touchdown, intercepted a pass and ran it back for a touchdown), Lou Rimassa (made a critical open field game saving tackle towards the end of the game), and Center Jerry Dowd who was the 1939 Cotton Bowl MVP, primarily as a result of his superb punting.
