Huggins and Scott Auctions takes great pleasure in presenting treasures from the estate of Arthur J. “Dutch” Bergman. A halfback for Notre Dame from 1915-1916, and 1919, Bergman went on to a lengthy career as a college football coach, along with shorter stints in basketball and baseball. Held by the Bergman family for more than one hundred years, these ancient relics make their way to the market for the first time in our current auction.



Bergman cut his teeth as a football coach at New Mexico A&M, from 1920-1922. He went on to coach at Dayton, Minnesota, and Catholic University, and was also head coach of the Washington Redskins in 1943, when he led his only NFL squad to the championship game. While not quite a panoramic type, this oversized 1921 Texas A&M football team Type I photo is of unusual size, with dimensions of 16-3/4 x 10". Head coach Bergman is seen at right, wearing a white sweatshirt. Considering the size and age of this rare photo, it has withstood the test of time well, reporting in Vg condition, with creases and light soiling noted mainly along the perimeter. LOA from Bergman's estate.
