    2017 APBA COLLEGE FOOTBALL ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE ROSTER The following players comprise the 2017season APBA College 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.

  • HISTORY of the RNCIC Written in the Fall of 1997 by Members of the RNCIC Board of Directors
    HISTORY OF THE RNCIC Written in the Fall of 1997 by members of the RNCIC Board Of Directors. National cemeteries were established by an act of Congress on February 22, 1867 at the urging of President Lincoln. There were three designated in Arkansas: Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Little Rock. Fayetteville’s is the eighth oldest in the United States. During the Civil War the dead were buried on the battlefield. In northwest Arkansas this brings to mind Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove, Rheas Mill, Cane Hill and other skirmishes the area sustained. The first burials in Fayetteville were on land just south of town, owned by J. K. Stone, a public- spirited man who gave permission to use this property in 1862. Over the next five years, many reinterments were done from known battlefields. It is believed this action caused the Federal Government to select the site in 1867. As to the actual 6.07 acres for the original site, Judge David Walker also gave several pieces of land to the cemetery to help increase its size, but the deeds of transfer were in error and were finally straightened out in 1947 to give Walker’s heirs due credit. Originally laid out for 1700 graves, design changes made possible 3,688 more spaces, but no more land was added to the original six acres on Government Avenue. By 1984 it became obvious that more room was needed as veterans from World Wars I and II, Korean veterans, VietNam and Gulf War survivors moved into adjacent four-state areas. So the Regional National Cemetery Improvement Corp.
