There are some really neat letters to autograph collectors by various athletes, especially during the pre-WW2 era. This one is pretty cool. Lynn Bomar was an All-American End for Vanderbilt from 1921-24 and played professionally for the New York Giants from 1925-26. He was the first Vanderbilt player inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Interestingly, he later had a career in law enforcement and was warden of Tennessee State Prison from 1955 until his death in 1964.
