A near mint 1935 Ohio State Football Matchbook Cover produced for "The Ritz" by The Ohio Match Co. This beautiful pieces shows a picture of head coach Francis A. Schmidt above Ohio Stadium.  On the back side, it says "The Ritz" Students Favorite Meeting Place inside a Block O with both the Home and "Abroad" Schedule appearing in the middle of the O.

Schmidt and Ohio State won the Big Ten in 1935, but a comeback win by Notre Dame in The Game of the Century likely kept them from their first National Championship.
