Description: The offering is the original owner/attendee’s vintage Official Souvenir Program for the Army / Syracuse football game played on 10.15.1955 at Michie Stadium. From the mid-1950’s through early 1960’s, the owner’s family attended numerous Army football games at West Point. This program is unique and collectible because Jim Brown’s individual team photograph, (page 41), as a Junior in 1955, shows “James N. Brown, center, Manhasset, NY”. Other references in the program list his position (1) as “LH” in the color center foldout, page 29, and (2) “Squad Roster”, page 31, “44 – Brown, James N., B, Weight: 212, Age 19, Manhasset, NY, Class’57”. Researching other 1955 Syracuse football programs (Pittsburgh, Penn State, Boston University & Colgate), Jim Brown always is shown as “LH”, with individual team photos having no position shown.
