1913 Head to toe photograph of Jack O'Hearn from Cornell in full uniform and posing at the height of his career. With Jim Thorpe having graduated from college, O'Hearn took the mantle of "greatest college football player in America" in 1913. A rare player to find images of, this is one of the only examples we have ever seen. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. The photo has some pinholes from editorial use but otherwise it presents well.
