EXCEPTIONAL piece of post-WWII collegiate sports history: an original Duke University Athletic Association Student Ticket Booklet from the historic 1945–1946 academic year.This unique piece features excellent mid-century typography and graphics, printed on a striking pink/coral cardstock cover. It was officially issued to student "Emmett E. Short" and bears his original vintage signature across the front, matching the serial numbers inside (Book No. 910).It includes ticket numbers 31-50 and are clearly
stamped with the "1945-1946" dates. This marks the legendary sports season when iconic head football coach Wallace Wade returned to the Blue Devils after serving in World War II, leading the team to a 6-3 record and a #13 national AP ranking.Unlike most vintage ticket books from this era, this booklet is completely intact. The internal ticket coupons and stubs—have NOT been torn out or removed.
