2 Page college notes in the hand of Ernie Davis while he attended Syracuse University. He has signed his name on both sides of the notes. Dated 3/11/60 the notes appear to be from a college business administration class. He must have been bored because on the back he writes his names then goes over it many times adding more detail. The page is torn from his college notebook. This was obtained by Todd Mueller from a family member of Ernie Davis. Mr. Mueller purchased the entire estate. Obtained through the estate by Todd Mueller. (1939–1963) He was a halfback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1961 while at Syracuse University. He was the first African-American winner of the Heisman Trophy. Davis was diagnosed with leukemia in the summer of 1962, and died less than a year later at age 23, without ever playing in a professional game. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979, and was the subject of the 2008 Universal Pictures film The Express, based on the non-fiction book Ernie Davis: The Elmira Express, by Robert C. Gallagher. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.

Torn from a notebook with frayed ends on the left side, otherwise, the piece is in excellent condition.
