Pat Cannamela, a guard and linebacker for USC, was originally from New London, Connecticut before he moved out west to attend Ventura College in 1948 and 1949. USC took notice and offered Cannamela a scholarship and he finished out his college career with the Trojans in 1950 and 1951. Following his senior year in 1951, Cannamela was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. While representing USC, Cannamela wore this blue jersey during the 1951 East-West Shrine Game played on December 29, 1951. This game was won by the East squad 15-14. This blue Dureen jersey features Cannamela’s number “42” sewn on the front and back in yellow tackle twill. The sleeves are ¾-length and have three yellow stripes.
