  • (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.

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

By John Shearer About four years ago, I wrote a story about the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners have worn. I decided to write the article after noticing that 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor wore No. 10, and I began wondering which other Heisman Trophy winners wore that number. That started an online search, and I was able to find everyone’s number, or at least a number the player wore during part of his career. I wrote the story in chronological order by year and mentioned the jersey number with each player, but someone emailed me and said he would like to see a story if I ever listed the Heisman Trophy winners in numerical order. After I thought about it, an article written that way would make for a more The College Football Historian-2 - interesting story.

Perennial 500+ scoring team Mount Union has kept its record of consecutive seasons recording 500 or more points alive—at 20 [1995-2014]—with a 66-7 victory over Otterbien. It is team’s 21st overall. Thus far during the 2014 season, the Purple Raiders have scored at least 58 points in all 8 of its games; recording a 66-7 triumph. This was the school’s third highest score this season. In contrast, Morningside, currently the top ranked team in the weekly NAIA Coaches’ Poll, would register its lowest game score game of the season, a 44-21 triumph over Concordia (Neb.) to be a part of the scoring accomplishment. Both teams have two games and any possible post-season games to increase their tallies. With the teams reaching 500+ points in a single-season, the “record” of consecutive seasons remains in tack.

  • Texas Sports Hall of Fame
    Texas Sports Hall of Fame The Texas Sports Hall of Fame was organized in 1951 by the Texas Sports Writers Association. Each year the honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame at a gala dinner. (The second such fete in 1952 was headlined by, “That filmland athlete, Ronald Reagan, and his actress wife, Nancy Davis,” The Dallas Morning News, June 9, 1952.) The hall was originally in Grand Prairie in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Hall of Fame was closed in 1986 for financial reasons, but in 1991 it was reopened in Waco. In addition to memorabilia, the new location also houses archives. Under the current selection process, dues-paying members of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame can nominate any number of individuals. (Anyone can become a member.) The selection committee, chaired by Dave Campbell, founder of Texas Football Magazine, reviews all nominees and creates the “Official Voting Membership” ballot. Ballots are then mailed to the voting membership, former Texas Sports Hall of Fame inductees and the media selection committee. The results of the balloting are announced in the fall with the induction banquet following in the winter. The hall of fame website is at www.tshof.org.

  • Indiana Football Hall of Fame
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 1 (1995) OTHER HALLS OF FAME, NO. 1 THE INDIANA FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME By Bob Carroll Mention sports and Indiana in the same sentence and you're probably thinking of basketball. After all, that movie Hoosiers wasn't about ping pong, Larry Bird didn't fly out of Evansville to pitch horseshoes, and Bobby Knight doesn't toss chairs across badminton courts. But Indiana has a proud football heritage too. And, to learn more about it than you ever thought was possible (even if you're from Muncie), take Interstate 70 to Richmond, cut to the corner of North 9th and "A" Streets, and pull in at the Indiana Football Hall of Fame. The Indiana Football Hall of Fame organization purchased their building in Richmond in July, 1974, at a cost of $98,000. Unlike the Hall in Canton which was designed to look like a football, the Indiana Hall's building is attractively, Hoosier- conservative, but don't be put off. Inside, it's wall-to-wall football with a blue and gold color scheme. Murals have been painted on the walls depicting football action, pennants of state championship schools, and well known football stadiums. Inside you'll find a history of the game from the 1890s to the present, an outstanding library, and memorabilia including uniforms from as far back as when the forward pass was legal. There are special exhibits honoring Purdue's 1967 Rose Bowl Champs, Knute Rockne, Weeb Ewbank, the early and undefeated Pine Village team, the less successful Indianapolis Colts, and lots more.
