World Heavyweight champion. Died in a plane crash in 1969. Ballpoint signature, “To ‘fifth down ‘Red’ ‘Friesell’ Keep punching, Rocky Marciano,” on an off-white 8 x 5 card, dated October 30, 1964. Red Friesell made a historic mistake when he allowed Cornell a fifth down in the final seconds and the Big Red scored on a six-yard touchdown pass for an apparent 7-3 victory over Dartmouth at Hanover, N.H. But two days later, after reviewing films of the game at Dartmouth's urging, Friesell admitted he made a mistake. In fine condition, with a couple small and light creases. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
