First year of the long-running publication covering college football. Headline of the Article is "Robinson Brings Victory to UCLA" and he scored 2 touchdowns in a 16 - 6 win over Oregon including an 82 yard rush. People forget Jackie is one of only three Major League MVP's to also be a college football All-American! Fraying around the edges and the spine and wear to the fold, but the paper is intact. The Football News was published until at least 2003 and was a "Major Selector" of College Football National Championships from 1958 -2002 and an "Official Selector" of College Football All-Americans from 1993 - 2001. Hard to find any other history or the fate of the periodical.
