A framed Sworn Affidavit with two portions from the South Goal Post from Ohio State's 14-11 upset of third ranked Michigan at Ohio Stadium.  Ohio State needed goal line stands on defense to keep the Wolverines from winning their 16th straight Big Ten victory. After Ohio State stopped Michigan again, thousands of fans, including Warren J. Goehring, rushed the field and tore down the south end goal post and eventually the north end's as well.  After clearing the fans from the field, Ohio State had to snap the ball one more time to make the game official. Not before Goehring was able to pocket these two pieces of the goal post.

Ohio State finished the Big Ten at 7-1 and earned a berth to the Rose Bowl to face No. 1 USC. A very unique piece from Archie Griffin's first Michigan game!
