I was moved to examine my copy of Leroy Mills' Kicking the American Football (1932), finding attached to the inside front paper a letter from the author to the first owner. Does 'Dick Hyland' ring a bell? ..

I mostly know Hyland as a newspaper columnist, though I know he played on Warner's great Stanford teams.
