  • Mcafee Takes a Handoff from Sid Luckman (1947)
    by Jim Ridgeway George McAfee takes a handoff from Sid Luckman (1947). Ironton, a small city in Southern Ohio, is known throughout the state for its high school football program. Coach Bob Lutz, head coach at Ironton High School since 1972, has won more football games than any coach in Ohio high school history. Ironton High School has been a regular in the state football playoffs since the tournament’s inception in 1972, with the school winning state titles in 1979 and 1989. Long before the hiring of Bob Lutz and the outstanding title teams of 1979 and 1989, Ironton High School fielded what might have been the greatest gridiron squad in school history. This nearly-forgotten Tiger squad was coached by a man who would become an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns, general manager of the Buffalo Bills and the second director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The squad featured three brothers, two of which would become NFL players, in its starting eleven. One of the brothers would earn All-Ohio, All-American and All-Pro honors before his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. This story is a tribute to the greatest player in Ironton High School football history, his family, his high school coach and the 1935 Ironton High School gridiron squad. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the undefeated and untied Ironton High School football team featuring three players with the last name of McAfee. It was Ironton High School’s first perfect football season, and the school would not see another such gridiron season until 1978.

I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can” -Babe Ruth 4 Abstract Like no other athlete before or since, Babe Ruth’s popularity has endured long after his playing days ended. His name has entered the popular lexicon, where “Ruthian” is a synonym for a superhuman feat, and other greats are referred to as the “Babe Ruth” of their field. Ruth’s name has even been attached to modern players, such as Shohei Ohtani, the Angels rookie known as the “Japanese Babe Ruth”. Ruth’s on field records and off-field antics have entered the realm of legend, and as a result, Ruth is often looked at as a sort of folk-hero. This thesis explains why Ruth is seen this way, and what forces led to the creation of the mythic figure surrounding the man.

  • Papa Bear's Nightmare
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 1 (1997) PAPA BEAR'S NIGHTMARE By Phil Dietrich Akron's spanking new Rubber Bowl bore little resemblance to a graveyard in 1946 when professional football's sagest elder, George Halas, launched his Akron Bears of the American Football League. Dedicated Aug. 10, 1949 before an overflowing crowd of 40,000 on the eve of the International Soapbox Derby, it already had played to a National Football League turnout of 23,720 Sept. 7, 1941 when the Cleveland Rams defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-14. Now, one world war later, the Rams' NFL franchise had moved to Los Angeles, leaving the fertile northeastern Ohio territory without a professional team. Without, that is, until the birth of the All-America Conference with the Cleveland Browns as a key member. Named for coach-general manager Paul Brown who previously had enjoyed considerable success at Masillon Washington High School, Ohio State University and Great Lakes Naval Training Station, the Cleveland team had more appeal in Brown's home state than it did in George Halas' Chicago. There the competition from the All-America Conference wasn't taken too seriously, particularly by Halas, owner-coach of the defending NFL champion Bears. An opportunity presented itself to take advantage of the new league's inexperience. How? By staking territorial rights to metropolitan areas in which there were no NFL teams but where the AAC had franchises! Such territorial rights would become valuable when the AAC, in desperation, sued for peace, as it appeared in the summer of '46 the newcomers would have to do.

  • Great Forgotten Ends of the 1930'S
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 1 (1993) Great Forgotten Ends of the 1930's by Stan Grosshandler There was once a position called END! The end played on both sides of the line of scrimmage; therefore, there was a left end and a right end. There were no split ends, tight ends, wide receivers, flankers, wide outs, or anything else. There were just plain ENDS! Now end was a very difficult position to play. You had to catch passes all over the field, block a tackle who vastly outweighed you, and stop end sweeps by throwing yourself into an interference that consisted of two running guards built like tanks and a pretty hefty blocking back built like a bull. You were expected to play sixty minutes, which often meant you had to chase a pass the length of the field, then block that monster in front of you, and next go on defense and break up the interference. Some days it was just plain hell! Four ends from the 1930's, Don Hutson, Red Badgro, Bill Hewitt, and Wayne Millner are honored in the Hall of Fame. A fifth, Ray Flaherty, is in the Hall for his coaching success, but was a very good end as a player. During the early years of the NFL, George Halas, an old right end himself, did a pretty good job of collecting most of the talent. Besides Hewitt he had Luke Johnsos, Bill Karr, Eggs Manske, Dick Plasman, and George Wilson. Johnsos and Karr played the right side opposite Hewitt. With the Bears from 1929 through 1936 Luke had a career total of 87 receptions and 19 TD's.
