This is Steve's yearbook photo and yearbook autograph



Here's Steve's introduction as a new NY Giant in 1926



Here's his autograph on a team signed page from 1929



And a picture as a player in 1930



And 1931, when he also took over as Giants Head Coach

No, some confusion over that, especially when it comes to autographs. The Heisman winner was Owens, the Giants coach was Owen.

Mike and Showdawg - great thread. Showdawg, if you take requests, I'd love to see what you have of Marion Motley. I think I may have seen what looked like the original artwork to his 1950 Bowman cards in one of your pics. No rush though - please finish with Jim Brown first - I'm not trying to hijack.
