This is perhaps the rarest Jim Thorpe program of all as the game was played before a crowd of only 1,500 fans, one of the smallest crowds ever to ever see a Jim Thorpe football game. Not only has it never been seen with Thorpe, it is also the only Portsmouth Shoe-Steels football program of any kind we have ever heard of. Jim Thorpe made his debut in Portsmouth starting at fullback at Labold Field versus the Columbus Bobb Chevrolets. Home program in EX condition and 6x8".
