  • Wally Koppisch: Great Expectations
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 23, No. 6 (2001) Wally Koppisch: Great Expectations by Jeffrey Miller Walter Koppisch was a local hero. While playing high school ball at Masten Park High--now City Honors-- in Buffalo, he led his team to three consecutive Harvard Cup championships. He went on to star at Columbia University, where he captained the Lions for three seasons--playing in a backfield which also featured future New York Yankee immortal Lou Gehrig--and was selected to Walter Camp’s All-America squad in 1924. So when it was announced in September 1925 that Koppisch would be returning to Buffalo to coach--at 23 years of age, making him one of the youngest head coaches in league history-- and play for the Bisons, local sports enthusiasts were indeed delighted. But Koppisch’s signing almost didn’t happened. The New York Giants, a new N.F.L franchise in 1925, were seeking a big name around which they could build a team, and Walter’s was the top name on their list. Koppisch’s four brilliant years at New York- based Columbia gave him name recognition and the Giants instant credibility in the league. However, according to Giants historian Dr. Harry March, the Gothamites called off their pursuit at the request of the Buffalo Bisons. As March later recounted in his book, Pro Football--Its Ups and Downs: Koppisch was a distinct asset in New York by reason of his four years at Columbia, but when the Buffalo management came to us and pleaded that he would be the making of the Buffalo team-- his home town--we turned Santa Claus and let them have him to manage, play, captain, and coach.

  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities WAR SEASONS: GLENN KILLINGER, SERVICE FOOTBALL, AND THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN HERO IN POSTWAR AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation in American Studies by Todd M. Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

  • The Pottsville Maroons
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 5 (1981) The Pottsville Maroons ... won the title then lost it, not on the field but by orders of league president Joe Carr. --- The Encyclopedia of Football No team has ever been robbed of a championship quite like the Maroons. --- Profiles in Pennsylvania Sports One of the greatest injustices in NFL history had been perpetrated. --- article in Journal of Sports History, 1982 THE DISCARDED CHAMPIONSHIP By Joe Horrigan, Bob Braunwart, & Bob Carroll The National Football League isn't welcome in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Not unless it sends back that championship it stole from the little coal city's beloved Maroons more than 60 years ago. Pottsville is not completely alone in its outrage. Every couple of years -- just when the rest of the football world is about to forget -- somebody writes an article called "The Stolen Championship" or "The Tragedy of Pottsville" or "The Anthracite Antic", and the whole story -- or rather, Pottsville's version of it -- returns like those onions you had for lunch. There hasn't been an NFL franchise in Pottsville since Hoover was President, Prohibition was the law, and a kid reporter named John O'Hara covered the Maroons for the local Journal. But O'Hara, who achieved worldwide fame with Appointment in Samarra, Butterfield 8, and a dozen other bestselling novels remained a Maroons' fan all his life. Pottsville's population today is down about 20% from the 25,000 of those days when the Maroons were as good as it got in pro football. Only a few remain who actually saw the team in action, but later generations know the story.
