Lot #41:

1948-1949 Abe Androff University of Southern California Trojans Home Jersey (Photo Style Match) (Magnificent 3-D Style)

Abe Androff was not tall or particularly fast but he could shoot the ball well and had a knack for finding the open man. Those skills served him particularly well at USC where his deft passes often made for easy scores for future Hall of Fame legend Bill Sharman, who was a Trojan teammate of his from 1947 to 1949. In 1949, Androff was named the team MVP by head coach Sam Barry. On the inside back tail is the “Rawlings” manufacturers tag. To the left is the size “44” tag and to the right is the wash instructions tag. On the front is “Southern California.” In the middle and on back is the player number “15.” All lettering and numbering is done in yellow on burgundy felt. The jersey shows good game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
