If you haven't read Carlisle v Army I would recommend that. However, it wouldnt be eligible for the list because it has nothing to do with Thorpe's pro career. It is fascinating nonetheless. The author was able to find enough info to give detailed accounts of many of the games Carlisle played in that 1911(?) season. It also goes into detail on the childhood of Thorpe and Eisenhower and tells a fascinating narrative about the historic context of the Carlisle-Army game.
