  • Donnie Stone
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Donnie Stone This article is by Budd Bailey. Donnie Stone was something of a journeyman football player. He had a few nice moments in college and pro ball, but isn’t remembered for what he did on the field. However, one incident that came out of nowhere well after retirement will be associated with him for the rest of his life. Edward Donald Stone was born on January 5, 1937, in Sioux City, Iowa. That’s right on the Missouri River, the dividing line between Iowa and Nebraska. Apparently, he didn’t stay long enough to learn the geography, as the next reference for him comes when he went to Fayetteville High School in Arkansas. It is in the northwest corner of the state, located in the Ozark Mountains. Fayetteville is best known as the home of the University of Arkansas, and it’s a large college town in a sense. The school dominates the town’s culture, especially in the sports department. That trickles down to the high school, Fayetteville High, where Stone returns to the story. FHS has had several athletes walk through its halls, including basketball player Ron Brewer, and some NFL players. But we shouldn’t forget music – Sarah Caldwell was the first woman to conduct the New York Metropolitan Opera, while Ronnie Hawkins went on to musical fame with The Band. 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Stone obviously was a very good back. The school yearbook for his senior year mentions that Donnie was an all-State and all-district in his senior year of the fall of 1954.

    1963 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1963 season APBA Pro Football Player 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. 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. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • When the Buffalo Bills Rode High
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) WHEN THE BUFFALO BILLS RODE HIGH by Stan Grosshandler (Originally published in Pro Football Digest) "Count me in with Buffalo!" These words, spoken by Ralph Wilson Jr. to the founders of the American Football League, heralded the return of Buffalo to the pro football scene after an absence of 11 years. The metropolis on the shores of Lake Erie has had a long and distinguished place in the history of professional football. The city's first team, the Buffalo All-Americans of 1920, was a member of the American Professional Football Association, forerunner of the NFL. This club lasted until 1927 and was also known as the Bisons and Rangers. Some of the finest players of that period played for Buffalo, stars such as Eddie Casey, Lud Wray, Elmer Oliphant, Tommy Hughitt, Lou Little and Tiny Thornhill. The second team to represent the city was in the third abortive AFL of 194-41. This team was called the Indians and then the Tigers. A third and more substantial team appeared in 1946, the Bills of the All- America Conference. Playing the entire four years of the AAFC, they won their division the third year. After Wilson obtained the franchise in October of 1959, he selected his first draft choice, Richie Lucas; named the team the Bills, and signed his first player Joe Schaffer. The name had infinitely more success than the players. When Wilson got around to naming his coach he selected Garrard "Buster" Ramsey. Ramsey had been a fine guard for the Cardinals and for the previous eight years had been defensive coach of the Lions.

  • 1965 Afl Championship Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 23, No. 6 (2001) 1965 AFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME By Ken Crippen The San Diego Chargers were a seven-point favorite to win the game, but most experts believed that they would win by a larger margin. How could you not think that the Chargers would win easily? They were ranked first in passing offense, first in rushing offense, first in passing defense, and first in running defense. The Buffalo Bills were second in rushing defense, but seventh in total offense. San Diego coach Sid Gillman was so confident of his victory, he told a Buffalo News reporter “You know, there is no way we can lose this game on Sunday…We’re going to win this game because Kemp has the maturity of a 10-year-old girl.” The Chargers had stars like flanker Lance Alworth, quarterback John Hadl, running back Paul Lowe, Keith Lincoln, and defensive tackle Ernie Ladd. The Bills traded away their star running back, Cookie Gilchrist, before the season. Their best receivers Elbert Dubenion and Glenn Bass were lost due to injury. Backup receiver Charley Ferguson took over for Bass, but pulled a hamstring three weeks prior to this game and was not activated. Center Dave Behrman did not play due to muscle spasms in his back. The Bills also lost safeties Gene Sykes and Tom Keating for the season. As if things could not get any worse for Buffalo, guard Billy Shaw was injured on the first play of the game and did not return until the second half. The Bills won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball, starting their first series of the game with three straight runs (one by Billy Joe and two by Wray Carlton) gaining 10 yards and a first down.

There is one other bit of news here: The Big Ten may or may not be reverting to its original 12-18 month timeline to add teams.
