Trophies - George Gipp |

[Engraved trophy states: "The George Gipp All-Amerian Trophy - Famed fields that echoed hostile shouts left him undaunted, he had heard Superiors voice rise higher than the storm. Grim foemen answering thrust with thrust inspired him onward, he had seen imprisoned treasure wrested from the rock. Cold weariness clutching at the heart found him prepared, in his home land, green banners mock the north winds icy blast. Swift flowing time that humbles men can not touch deeds, the record stands to tempt brave feet to climb the lonely heights." See comments section for rest of inscription.] Scanned: October 30, 2007 |
