  • The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics by Debbie Z
    The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics By Debbie Z. Harwell rom its earliest days, the University of Houston rose to Fthe top in athletics—not in football or basketball as you might expect, but in ice hockey. The team competed for the first time in 1934 against Rice Institute in the Polar Wave Ice Rink on McGowan Street. It went undefeated for the season, scoring three goals to every one for its opponents. The next year, only one player returned, but the yearbook reported that they “represented a fighting bunch of puck- pushers.” They must have been because the team had no reserves and played entire games without a break.1 The sports picture changed dramatically in 1946 when the University joined the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and named Harry H. Fouke as athletic director. He added coaches in men’s tennis, golf, track, football, and basketball, and a new director of women’s athletics focused on physical education.

  • Donald Sanford
    2015 INDUCTEE DONALD SANFORD ONALD WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PARRISH, ALABAMA, where he Dfollowed in the footsteps of his uncle Bruce Jones, a member of the “Half Century All-Time Great Players at the University of Alabama.” Donald started every game in his career at Parrish where he played for coach Edward Childs. His senior year, they amassed a record of 11-2-1 beating Birmingham powerhouse Woodlawn 13-6 in a game played at Legion Field. He signed to play football at the University of Alabama where he was destined to find greatness. Donald was a three year letterman who played for both Wallace Wade and Frank Thomas at Alabama. He played on the Crimson Tideʼs last Southern Conference Championship team (1930). Donald was key figure in Wadeʼs last game at Alabama where he anchored the offensive line in Bamaʼs 24-0 win over Washington State in the 1931 Rose Bowl which clinched Bamaʼs 10-0 season and gave the Tide their fourth National Championship. While at the University of Alabama, he played with some of the all-time great players such as: Don Hutson, Dixie Howell, Johnny Cain, and Fred Sington. Donald came back to Walker County in 1947 as an assistant football coach and head basketball coach for the Walker County High School Vikings. He then took over the reigns as the head coach of the football team for the 1948-49 seasons. He had the unique opportunity to obtain the authentic football from the 1931 Rose Bowl victory which became a family heirloom and is still in the possession of the family today.

  • The First Pro Bowl Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 4 (1990) The First Pro Bowl Game by Fred R. Crawford The game was conceived by George P. Marshall, the Washington Redskins owner, and sponsored by the Los Angeles Times Charities. Pitting the league champion New York Giants against a collection of the NFL’s finest and five members from two independent Pacific coast teams was a novel idea. Played on January 15, 1939, in old Wrigley Field, a baseball park, before a crowd of an estimated 20,000 fans (30,000 had been expected but with poor weather conditions attendance was low). The game was typical of football in the 1930’s, punting on third down, scoring teams receiving the following kickoff, and a few breaks deciding the outcome of the game. The teams struggled between the 30-yard lines for most of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Giant fullback John (Bull) Karcis intercepted a Cecil Isbell pass on the All-Star 35-yard line and returned it to the All-Star 13. Two running plays and an incomplete pass forced the Giants into settling for a 19-yard field goal by Len Barnum. Giants 3 All-Stars 0. Late in the second quarter the All-Stars started a drive from their own 35 yard line with Ed Goddard running and passing along with John Drake's running, the All-Stars worked the ball to the Giants 19 yard line. Three plays failed to gain yardage and Ernie Smith kicked a 25-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the half.

Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

  • Coach Steve Owen: the Great Innovator
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996) COACH STEVE OWEN: THE GREAT INNOVATOR By Stan Grosshandler, et.al. (Originally published in part in Football Digest) Professional football has advanced from a simple to complex game. To a great extent, this is due to the imaginative genius of the coaches. In the early years the innovators were George Halas, Curly Lambeau, Greasy Neale and Jimmy Conzelman. Later Paul Brown and Vince Lombardi came along. Today [ed.: 1970s] we have Tom Landry, Don Shula, Hank Stram and George Allen to mention a few. Seldom mentioned; yet one of the great innovators of all time is Steve Owen, for 23 years the guiding genius of the New York Giants. Stout Steve came up with innovations like the A-formation and the Umbrella Defense. These were not only catchy names, but effective weapons. The Giants under Owen won eight division and two league championships. What is even more remarkable about Owen is that he stressed defense when few of his contemporaries did. His kind of football began with blocking and tackling. "Football is a game played down in the dirt and it always will be. There's no use getting fancy about it." Often criticized by Giants fans as ultra-conservative, he may have been the first NFL coach to elect to kick off to start a game. He often chose to go for a sure field goal rather than gamble for a touchdown, and that further upset New York rooters. Eventually, however, the rest of the league came around to his way of thinking.
