Attractive pair of football programs from Cheltenham (Pennsylvania) High School alma matter of baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson. Jackson was a star tailback as well as being a baseball basketball and track star. In 1962 he injured his knee and was told he would never play football again. He returned for the season's final game and fractured five vertebrae spent six weeks in the hospital and was told he might never walk again. Reggie obviously beat the odds. The first of two programs from Friday September 29 appears in EX condition. The second or the following week (at Lower Merion) is in FAIR condition with tape remnants around the edges along with age-related toning and discoloration. Still high school football programs featuring Reggie Jackson are few and far between. Two programs total.
