Official 1931 Griffith Stadium game program from the annual President's Cup football contest pitting servicemen from the Marine's and Coast Guard. A tradition instituted by president Calvin Coolidge in 1924, a reported 7000 fans witnessed the 1931 iteration of the game – a thrilling 13-6 contest won by the Coast Guard with the Marines final, and potential game-tying drive, stalling on Coast Guard's three yard line. Program exhibits heavy wear to spine and edges with obvious soiling also present. Interior pages remain presentable with rounded corners typical of decades in storage. From the personal collection of longtime Baltimore-area broadcaster, Ted Patterson.
