Title: Autograph Note Signed / Autograph Note
Description: Well-known Lafayette University football star who played halfback on their 1921 national championship team -- the last living member of that team at his death; later a running back for the Pottsville Maroons and Philadelphia Quakers. ANS, 1p, 5½" X 7", Easton, PA, 1977 May 31. Addressed to Richard C. Laade. Near fine. In response to a plea (also present) from this researcher "attempting to locate a number of Lafayette alumni who have played in the N.F.L." Marhefka replies boldly in blue ballpoint, in part: "In addition to making necessary corrections, I have added three names of Laf. alumni who were quite prominent in pro football, their names are Leonard Brunner '24 Bull Lowe '19 and John Scott '19.." The researcher's 8½" X 11" query for assistance in locating Lafayette alumni is present, on which Marhefka has inked the names he referred to. With original envelope, addressed in Marhefka's hand and signed again. .
