  • Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense

    Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 3 (2002) Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense By Bob Carroll Paul Brown “always wanted his players to better themselves, and he wanted us known for being more than just football players,” Tony Adamle told an Akron Beacon Journal reporter in 1999. In the case of Adamle, the former Cleveland Browns linebacker who passed away on October 8, 2000, at age 76, his post-football career brought him even more honor than captaining a world championship team. Tony was born May 15, 1924, in Fairmont, West Virginia, to parents who had immigrated from Slovenia. By the time he reached high school, his family had moved to Cleveland where he attended Collinwood High. From there, he moved on to Ohio State University where he first played under Brown who became the OSU coach in 1941. World War II interrupted Adamle’s college days along with those of so many others. He joined the U.S. Air Force and served in the Middle East theatre. By the time he returned, Paul Bixler had succeeded Paul Brown, who had moved on to create Cleveland’s team in the new All-America Football Conference. Adamle lettered for the Buckeyes in 1946 and played well enough that he was selected to the 1947 College All-Star Game. He started at fullback on a team that pulled off a rare 16-0 victory over the NFL’s 1946 champions, the Chicago Bears. Six other members of the starting lineup were destined to make a mark in the AAFC, including the game’s stars, quarterback George Ratterman and running back Buddy Young.

  • Are You Ready for Some Super-Senior Football?

    Are You Ready for Some Super-Senior Football?

    Oldest living players Are you ready for some super-senior football? Starting East team quarterback Ace Parker (Information was current as of May 2013 when article appeared in Sports Collectors Digest magazine) By George Vrechek Can you imagine a tackle football game featuring the oldest living NFL players with some of the guys in their 90s? Well to tell the truth, I can’t really imagine it either. However that doesn’t stop me from fantasizing about the possibility of a super-senior all-star game featuring players who appeared on football cards. After SCD featured my articles earlier this year about the (remote) possibility of a game involving the oldest living baseball players, you knew it wouldn’t be long before you read about the possibility of a super-senior football game. Old-timers have been coming back to baseball parks for years to make cameo appearances. Walter Johnson pitched against Babe Ruth long after both had retired. My earlier articles proposed the possibility of getting the oldest baseball players (ranging in age from 88 to 101) back for one more game. While not very likely, it is at least conceivable. Getting the oldest old-timers back for a game of tackle football, on the other hand, isn’t very likely. We can probably think about a touch game, but the players would properly insist that touch is not the same game. If the game were played as touch football, the plethora of linemen would have to entertain one another, while the players in the skill positions got to run around and get all the attention, sort of like it is now in the NFL, except the linemen are knocking themselves silly.

    Eagles' Team Travel

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.
  • Bill Willis: Dominant Defender

    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.

    Vol. 10, No. 2 (1988) JACK FERRANTE: EAGLES GREAT

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 2 (1988) JACK FERRANTE: EAGLES GREAT By Richard Pagano Reprinted from Town Talk, 1/6/88 In 1933, Bert Bell and Lud Wray formed a syndicate to purchase the Frankford Yellowjackets' N.F.L. franchise.

Even Davey O'Brien, the All-American quarterback signed in 1939, could not the Eagles out of the Eastern Division cellar. Bert Bell finally sold the Eagles in 1941. He sold half the franchise to Alexis Thompson of New York. Before the season, Rooney and Bell swapped Thompson their Philadelphia franchise for his Pittsburgh franchise. The new owner hired Earle "Greasy" Neale to coach the team. In 1944, the Eagles really started winning. They finished with a record of 7-1-2 and ended the season in second place in the Eastern Division. From 1944 until 1950, the Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed their most successful years in the history of the franchise. They finished second in the Eastern Division three times and also won the Eastern Division championship three times. The Eagles played in three consecutive N.F.L.
