WOW! I really don't know what to say about this letter. Definite trash talk.

The game was played October 19, 1946, a 19-16 victory over Penn State by Michigan State. What makes this letter so interesting to me, and what stood out, was the obvious racial overtones to some of the notes including the "Kleaveland Kroger Kollege".

The 1946 Penn State team had two African American players; Dennie Hoggard and Wally Triplett. On November 29, 1946 they cancelled a game with Miami of Florida when the latter school requested they not bring their black football players.

Great letter that speaks to a sad era.
