Win One for the Gipper: America's Football Hero

40 pp. | Sleeping Bear | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-58536-221-2 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Bruce Langton. A brief, plainspoken text recounts the college career of George Gipp, who was awarded a baseball scholarship to Notre Dame but instead became a football hero under the coaching of Knute Rockne. Although he died before graduating, Gipp's spirit--and the phrase "Win one for the Gipper"--would inspire later players. The book's accompanying illustrations are dark and static.
