  • Bill Willis: Dominant Defender
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 5 (1994) BILL WILLIS: DOMINANT DEFENDER By Bob Carroll Bill Willis was one of the most dominant defensive linemen to play pro football after World War II. His success helped open the doors of the pro game for other Afro-Americans. William K. Willis was born October 5, 1921 in Columbus, Ohio, the son of Clement and Willana Willis. His father died when he was four, and he was raised by his grandfather and mother. He attended Columbus East High School and at first was more interested in track than football. "I had a brother, Claude, who was about six years older than me," Willis says. "He was an outstanding football player, a fullback in high school and I was afraid I would be compared with him." When he finally went out for football, he chose to play in the line despite the great speed that seemingly destined him for the backfield. He was a three-year regular at Columbus East, winning Honorable Mention All-State honors in his senior year. After working a year, Willis entered Ohio State University in 1941 and quickly caught the eye of Coach Paul Brown. At 6-2 but only 202 pounds, he was small for a tackle on a major college team, but his quickness made him a regular as a sophomore. At season's end, the 9-1 Buckeyes won the 1942 Western Conference (Big 10) championship and were voted the number one college team in the country by the Associated Press. Wartime call-ups hurt the team in Willis' final two years as most of OSU's experienced players as well as Coach Brown went into the service, but his own reputation continued to grow.

  • (2005) Wallace “Wally” Triplett
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 4 (2005) Wallace “Wally” Triplett: Struggling for Success in the Postwar NFL By Jim Sargent In the nineteenth round of the National Football League’s annual draft in 1949, the Detroit Lions selected Wallace (Wally) Triplett, a “triple threat” all-around halfback at Penn State University. But Lions coach and general manager Alvin “Bo” McMillin could not be sure his number 19 choice would accept, since no African American player had yet signed as an NFL draft choice. Triplett changed that perception. Not only did the Pennsylvania native have the personality, character, and mindset to defy the odds in pro football, then considered a white man’s game, he also possessed the skills, speed, and toughness necessary to carry the ball and block on offense, defend against the run and the pass, and return kickoffs and punts. Although he played only four seasons in the NFL, Triplett earned a place in the league’s history. First, when the Lions selected him, Wally became the first African-American to accept the NFL’s draft. Several other black players preceded him in pro football, including end Bob Mann and halfback Mel Groomes, both of whom played for Detroit in 1948. Second, the speedy Triplett, a great scatback, excelled at football. Given an opening, he could sprint down the field. His finest hour came on October 29, 1950, when he set an NFL record (which lasted 44 years) by returning four kickoffs for 294 yards and one touchdown as the Rams ripped the Lions, 65-24, at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

  • Fighting Illini Football History
    HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, Zuppke’s men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov.

  • Black Hats in a Golden Age (1950S Tough Guys)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 4 (1993) BLACK HATS IN A GOLDEN AGE By Bob Barnett & Bob Carroll Originally published in Sports Heritage, I-1 (Jan.-Feb. 1987) Bobby Layne was a gutsy quarterback who led by macho example. "When Bobby said ‘Drink,' we drank," explained one teammate, "and when Bobby said, `Block,' we blocked!" And when Layne had an offense in high gear, it was a work of art. He would probe, plunge, and sweep with his ground game until he had a rival defense just where he wanted it, then suddenly launch one of his fluttery but devilishly effective passes for the kill. Layne's fiery play led the Detroit Lions to three division titles and two NFL championships in the early 1950's. On the afternoon of December 16, 1956, at Wrigley Field, he was ready to capture yet another Western Division crown for Detroit. The Lions' foes that day were the second-place Chicago Bears, a half-game behind and already demolished 42-10 two weeks earlier in Detroit by Layne and company. The Bears held an 3-0 lead early in the second quarter, but Lion fans weren't worried. It was an article of faith in Detroit that Bobby Layne never lost a game (although time sometimes ran out on him), and now he had three-fourths of the clock in which to accomplish victory. Early in the second stanza, Detroit began to move the ball. Layne -- still building the scaffold -- took the snap from center, stepped back, and pitched the ball to a sweeping running back.

    APBA FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST Volume 3 The following players comprise volume 3 of APBA's Great Football Teams of the Past ("GTOP") Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. Names in bold are starters. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.

  • John Prchlik
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com John Prchlik This article was written by Chad Moody Once humorously praised by famed sportswriter Red Smith for lacking nothing on the football field “but vowels,” John Prchlik was indeed a talented tackle who found success at every level.i And although he patrolled the gridiron like a “berserk mastodon,” there was much more to Prchlik than the game.ii “He saw football as merely a way to pay his way through law school,” his daughter said. “He just happened to be really good at it.”iii John George Prchlik was born on July 20, 1925, in Cleveland, Ohio. His father, John, worked in jobs including truck driving and managing a beer store, and his mother, Bessie (née Kral), worked as a seamstress before becoming a homemaker. Prchlik was the oldest of the family’s four children. Arthur, Richard, and Ruth were his younger siblings. Prchlik was raised in a Czech immigrant community on the west side of Cleveland; his father was a native of what is now the Czech Republic and his mother was the child of two Czech-born parents. An honor student and standout on the football and track squads at Cleveland West Tech High School, Prchlik had plans to attend college in his home state at Ohio State University.iv His plans changed, however, when he enrolled at Yale University in 1943 as part of the War Department’s World War II Navy V-12 College Training Program. Immediately joining the football team as a lineman, Prchlik was “uncovered” as a potential gem by the Bulldogs when he

  • PFRA-Ternizing
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 6 (2006) PFRA-ternizing From Bob Gill: With help from Tod Maher, I've recently finished a book called "Outsiders: Minor League and Independent Football, 1923-1950," published by St. Johann Press. This is a companion book to "Minor League Football, 1980-1985," which McFarland published four years ago. Between them, these books contain a pretty thorough account of all of the top minor leagues and independent teams that have ever existed, and quite a few others a notch or two below that. The new book contains the basic information (aside from the individual game statistics) from a half-dozen PFRA books I did a while back: "Best in the West" (PCFL 1940-48), "A Minor Masterpiece," Vols. I and II (American Association 1936-41, AFL 1946-50), "The Outsiders" (AFLs of 1936-41, with Tad Maher), "Southern Exposure" (Dixie League, 1936-46) and "Down in the Valley" (Ohio Valley League, 1925-29). It's presented differently, though: Rather than yearly rosters for each team, this book has a player register so you can trace the careers of individual players or look up one guy you're interested in, which was basically impossible before. (Coaches get a register of their own.) There are hundreds of new bits of information about the players -- we've added heights, colleges, birthdates, whatever, though it's still far from complete and always will be. Game scores are included for the top teams, in basically the same form as in the PFRA books. And there's a section listing regular starters for all the top teams by year, which is something new.

  • "Hunchy" Hoernschemeyer Was a Key Member of the Great Detroit Lions Teams of the Early 1950'S
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 1 (1993) HUNCHY by Mark Latterman Bob "Hunchy" Hoernschemeyer was a key member of the great Detroit Lions teams of the early 1950's. Hunchy first demonstrated his tremendous versatility as a 17-year-old freshman for Bo McMillin's wartime Indiana team by leading the Big Nine in total offense, breaking records previously set by Tom Harmon and Otto Graham. After a stint in the Navy, he joined the old All America Football Conference and played singlewing tailback for the Chicago Rockets and Brooklyn Dodgers. An excellent runner and quality passer, he even did some kicking during his stay in the AAFC. In 1950, the AAFC was absorbed by the NFL. A number of "other league" stars were available to NFL teams. Hoernschemeyer's old college coach, Bo McMillin was putting together the nucleus of the Lions' championship teams of the era. In addition to Hunchy, the roster included Leon Hart, Cloyce Box, and Les Bingaman. The great Lions' backfield had Hoernschemeyer, Bobby Layne, Doak Walker, and Pat Harder. It was a versatile group, with each member excelling at several skills. Among Hunchy's contibutions was his ability to pass from his halfback position. During his six seasons in the Lions' backfield, he connected for ten touchdowns on only 26 pass attempts. As the first effective option passer from the T-formation, he paved the way for Frank Gifford and Paul Hornung. Hoernschemeyer led Detroit in rushing from 1950 thru 1954, and was particularly noted for his dependability on third down. But "the best third- down back in football" was more than a plugger.
