Dean Cromwell was perhaps the most accomplished coach in American history. He was a famous football coach at USC as well as the greatest track coach in Olympic history. He is also a polarizing figure as well as he made the call in 1936 to remove two Jewish sprinters from the United States team to appease Adolf Hitler. A powerful portrait photograph in nice shape, issued by NEA and stamped on the back by photographer J.B. Ward. This is his best portrait photograph we have ever seen and it is being offered here for the first time ever.
