Howard Harding Jones (D 1941) was an American football player and coach. He served as the head coach at Syracuse University (1908), Yale University (1909, 1913), Ohio State University (1910), the University of Iowa (1916–1923), Duke University (1924) and the University of Southern California (1925–1940), compiling a career record of 194–64–21. His 1909 Yale team and four of his USC teams (1928, 1931–1932, 1939) won national championships. Jones coached USC in five Rose Bowls, winning all of them. Before coaching, Jones played football at Yale (1905–1907), where he played on three national title-winning teams. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1951.
Offered is a signature from Jones that appears to have been cut from a program page or an actual USC schedule and is attached to a 4x6 card. His photo cut out from a newspaper is also attached.
