1924 Scheduling Letter Between Rivals

The MMQB presents NFL 95, a special project—unveiled every Wednesday from May through July—detailing 95 artifacts that tell the story of the NFL, as the league prepares to enter its 95th season. See the entire series here.

This is cool to read for NFL history fans. Amazing how different things were back then. Truly worlds apart from the modern game.
