Northwestern Wildcat Football, by Larry LaTourette

They were once regarded as a powerhouse, but 25 years ago the Northwestern University football team set records for futility.  Defying nearly all expectations, the Wildcats experienced a rebirth in 1995 and have been surprising the college football world since. Northwestern Wildcat Football describes in detail the team's first games in the 19th century, their title runs in the 1930s, the career of NU legend Otto Graham, the 1949 Rose Bowl championship, the era of Ara Parseghian, the woes of the '70s and '80s, and Northwestern's return to football prominence in the past decade.  From their beginning as one of the earliest college teams in the Midwest to the recent series of Big Ten championships, the Northwestern Wildcats have clawed their way to 8 conference titles, 36 All-Americans, and victory in some of the most thrilling college football games ever played.  Over 100 photographs of the Wildcats, including many from the university archives and some that have not been seen by the public in decades.

Softcover, 6 x 9, 128 pgs.
