The story about the most lopsided, highest scoring football game ever played as prominently featured by broadcast media including ESPN, the CBS Sports Network, National Public Radio, and in a number of print publications including metropolitan daily newspapers and periodicals nationwide. Heisman's First Trophy is a riveting novel based on a true story featuring romance, greed and revenge about a historically significant college football game played more than 100 years ago credited with changing the way the national media at the time viewed college football in the South. On a mission to save their beloved alma mater from financial demise, a handful of Kappa Sig fraternity brothers, representing tiny Cumberland University, boarded a train in Lebanon, Tennessee and traveled to Atlanta to play a monstrous Georgia Tech team coached by the legendary John Heisman. The game, which remarkably saw no first downs and hand a number of twists and turns, ended with Tech winning 222-0, a record score that remains still today in college football. Tech's win put Coach Heisman on a path to his first national championship, saved Cumberland from likely having to close its doors forever, and changed the perception of a nation about the quality of football being played in the South. From the cost of a bottle of Jack Daniels in 1916 to why Tech withdrew from the SEC in 1963, Heisman's First Trophy is consumed with history about the game of football, its legends, special events and memorable games.

"Heisman's First Trophy is a sports novel based on a historically significant football game played 100 years ago in which tiny Cumberland University, led by a bunch of Kappa Sig fraternity brothers, squared off in Atlanta against a Georgia Tech team destined for a national championship and coached by the legendary John Heisman. The final score 222 - 0, remains the most lopsided victory in the annals of Collegiate Football. The game saved Cumberland from financial demise; placed Georgia Tech on a path to a national championship; and changed the perception of a nation about the quality of football being played in the South. In many respects this one game was the birth of southern football champions to follow."--Amazon.com.

The first authorized and definitive biography of the man behind the most famous individual award in sports, including never-before-published photos and correspondence. No other football trophy captures the country’s imagination like the Heisman does. Each September, as the college football season begins, every player has the same singular aspiration—to hold aloft the Heisman Trophy in New York come December. Yet very little is known about John W. Heisman, the man the Downtown Athletic Club of New York honored in 1936 when it named its national player of the year award for him. In this richly illustrated official biography, the legendary coach’s great-nephew joins with New York Times bestselling author Mark Schlabach to reveal the real story behind the iconic image. Drawing on thousands of pages of personal documents, writings, playbooks, and correspondence with some of college football’s most famous coaches, the authors chronicle Heisman’s life from a young boy growing up on the oil fields of northwest Pennsylvania to one of football’s most innovative and successful coaches. For football fans, this is a fascinating and insightful look at the man linked forever with one of sport’s most enduring symbols.

Introduction I compiled the information in this book to explain why the Heisman Memorial Trophy Award was created. This book is a must for football fans. I also added The Life of Jim Thorpe, who reportedly began his Athletic career at Carlisle in 1907 when he walked past the track and beat all the school's High Jumpers with an impromptu 5-ft 9-in Jump still in Street clothes. His earliest recorded Track and Field results come from 1907. He also competed in football, baseball, lacrosse and even ballroom dancing, winning the 1912 Intercollegiate Ballroom Dancing Championship. The Heisman Trophy is Awarded annually to the player deemed the most outstanding player in Collegiate football. It was created in 1935 as the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy and renamed in 1936 following the death of the Club's Athletic Director, John Heisman (former Brown University and University of Pennsylvania player; head football Coach at Oberlin College, Auburn University, Clemson University, Rice University, and the University of Pennsylvania; and football, basketball, and baseball head Coach and Athletic Director at Georgia Tech). The Award is presented by the Heisman Trophy Trust in early December before the postseason Bowl Games. It is the oldest of several overall Awards in college football, including the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, and the AP Player of the Year. The Heisman and the AP Player of the Year are the only Awards to honor the most outstanding player, while the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award recognize the best player, and the Archie Griffin Award recognizes the most valuable player. All football players in all divisions of college football are eligible for the Award, though winners usually represent Division I Football Bowl Subdivision schools. There are three categories of persons eligible to vote for the Award winner: Sports Journalists Previous Heisman winners Fans the survey collected by ESPN.com constitutes one Heisman vote.

"In order that there will be no misunderstanding regarding the eligibility of a candidate, the recipient of the award must be a bona fide student of an accredited university. The recipient must be in compliance with the bylaws defining an NCAA student." -- From the ballot for the Heisman Trophy December 10, 2005: Amid a roaring ovation and media crush, with his family standing proudly by his side, Reginald Alfred Bush is named the year's Heisman Trophy winner. With his honest demeanor, effervescent smile and, of course, stunning talent displayed on the fields of the University of Southern California, Reggie Bush is, on that celebratory night, the portrait of a great American sportsman, and the pinnacle of everything the NCAA espouses in its athletes. What America didn't know about the acclaimed college star was that, in direct violation of NCAA policies, Bush and his family had allegedly taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts long before he ever laid his hands on the Heisman. The rumors first surfaced one week before the 2006 NFL draft: allegations of improper benefits that transformed Bush's final year at USC into a financial windfall. The resulting scandal from such charges could mark one of the darkest chapters in college football history. Now, drawn together for the first time in Tarnished Heisman, the facts are laid bare. Don Yaeger, a former Sports Illustrated investigative reporter who documented the Duke University lacrosse case in the shattering New York Times bestseller It's Not About the Truth, reveals the heated controversy behind Bush's high-flying rise before turning pro for the New Orleans Saints, going back to his first taste of fame, when Bush landed in the pages of Sports Illustrated and all eyes were watching to see what was next for the USC sophomore. What few eyes saw, however, were the ties between Bush and two San Diego men, cofounders of a fledgling sports agency, who claim to have paid Bush and his family in cash and gifts to ensure his endorsement -- benefits including a vintage car, lavish trips, and an upscale home where Bush's family lived rent-free. Don Yaeger exposes the NCAA-prohibited activity in which Bush allegedly engaged, and also shows how USC and its coaching staff appeared to have turned a blind eye to the increasingly luxurious lifestyle of their star athlete and his family. With the explosive information revealed in Tarnished Heisman, Bush stands to be ruled ineligible -- a decision that could cost his alma mater the 2004 national championship title, force the forfeit of every game Bush played in after losing his eligibility, and potentially strip Reggie Bush of the shining prize of his college career: the Heisman Trophy.

A biography of Jay Berwanger (1914-2002), heralded as one of the greatest football players of the first half of the 20th Century. The modest son of an Iowa blacksmith, Berwanger starred at the University of Chicago (1933-35), then a member of the Big Ten Conference. He earned All-American honors in 1934 and 1935, including the captaincy of a 1934 All-American Team. In 1935, he received the first Heisman Trophy. Berwanger was the first player selected in the first-ever draft of the National Football League. However, he passed up the NFL and took a job in Chicago, where he eventually became a business owner and millionaire. His post-athletic years included stints as a sportswriter, coach, referee, and military pilot trainer. As the significance of the Heisman Trophy increased over time, so did Berwanger's standing as the first Heisman recipient.
