Gipp at Notre Dame : The Untold Story: Finally - The Truth About

GIPP AT NOTRE DAME-THE UNTOLD STORY
by Emil Klosinski

Patrick Chelland

$21.95

It is mind boggling to find out that George Gipp, the best football player in America in 1920, never had a one-on-one interview during his entire four year career at Notre Dame. Gipp, whose deathbed request to coach Knute Rockne to have a future Notre Dame team "Win one for The Gipper," has pretty much remained an enigma to this day, with tons of second hand misinformation continually being perpetrated about him by lazy writers as recently as this year.

Other than Patrick Chelland's masterful biography, "One For the Gipper," very little if any original material has turned up on Gipp. That is, until Emil Klosinski's new book, "Gipp at Notre Dame-The Untold Story." Klosinski's material is pure gold. His father, John, was a close friend of Gipp's. "Hunk" Anderson, whose biography Klosinski co-wrote in 1976, was Gipp's best friend and teammate and gave Klosinski a wealth of heretofore unpublished information about "The Gipper." Klosinski debunks a ton of myths about Gipp and sets the record straight. This book is a must read for anyone interested in Gipp, Notre Dame, football or history in general. It makes an excellent companion book to Chelland's in-depth biography.
