Incredible exhibition game program from August 28, 1941 at Soldier Field where a team of college All-Americans took on the Chicago Bears –– the same Chicago Bears who defeated the Washington Redskins 73-0 in the 1940 NFL championship game. Among those All-Americans was none other than standout Jackie Robinson. Robinson caught a 36-yard touchdown pass from Boston College's Charlie O'Rourke but the Bears ultimately emerged with a 35-24 victory. The New York Times reported 93,200 tickets were sold for the game.

Program cover has some general wear, particularly to all four corners and a fold across the illustrated player’s left arm. This fold is present on interior pages but more noticeable on cover. Interior not only includes an image of Jackie Robinson in his UCLA Bruins college football uniform but also includes images of Bears HOFers Dan Fortmann, Sid Luckman, George McAfee, Bulldog Turner, Joe Stydahar, and George Musso.
