Description: TODAY'S ITEM FOR AUCTION IS: Presented is a Dec. 9, 1939, UCLA versus USC football full ticket (UCLA Rooter - valid with student card) for the Pacific Coast Conference game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum between the two undefeated squads, with a trip to the Rose Bowl at stake. The 0-0 tie in the game, played before 103,000, meant that USC went to the Rose Bowl, where the team lost to Tennessee. UCLA had a 5-3 record going into the game and before the contest, USC had an 8-0-1 mark. Jackie Robinson, at right halfback in the UCLA version of the single wing, was a tremendous college player. In the '39 season, Robinson led major football teams in yards per carry, and he averaged an incredible 20 yards per punt return. He was a true triple-threat, as he could pass and even did some of the team's place-kicking. On defense, Robinson played defensive back. The amazing Robinson was a 4-sport letter winner at UCLA: baseball, basketball, football, and track and field. In the key Dec. 9th game, Robinson made a game-saving tackle at the UCLA 3-yard line, which caused a fumble that UCLA recovered. In the game, Robinson had four carries for 23 yards and 48 yards on four punt returns. The offered AS SHOWN ticket STUB measures 4 7/8" X 2 3/8". It is a student ticket, labeled "U.C.L.A. Rooters." The TICKET has a humorous image of a fierce Bruin (for UCLA) and a rather timid-looking mouse, like a Mickey Mouse IN PARADE UNIFORM, representing USC and has BY SPECIAL PERMISSION OF WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS. COPR. WDP above it. Just discovered this past month of November in a group of paper hoarded for the last 20 years by Land - Sea Discovery Group's Paperchasesue eBay auction site. It has not been graded professionally. Instead at this late date before Christmas, we decided to put it up as is, as shown and let the winning bidder have the honors of grading if desired. Would also be wonderful to frame along with a signed piece of UCLA / JACKIE ROBINSON photo. (not included.). Right side corners have just a minor touch of wear. The reverse has a very slight amount of clear glue residue most likely from using stamp collectors hinges to attach to a collectors album page. WE COMBINE SHIPPING: IF YOU PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS.
