  • The Chicago Fire of the World Football League
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 6 (1992) From Blaze to Ashes: A Brief History of the Chicago Fire of the World Football League by David Yamada The World Football League is generally regarded as one of pro football’s tragicomedies, featuring undertalented, under financed teams playing before paltry (or papered) crowds. The Chicago Fire, which played during the WFL’s maiden 1974 season, is probably best remembered for its catchy team nickname. However, for a few brief shining months, the Fire managed to capture the fancy of many Windy City football fans who were starved for a team that promised to play exciting, winning football. To understand the enthusiastic embrace which welcomed the Fire and the WFL in Chicago, one must grasp the state of the Chicago Bears during the early 1970s. The Bears of that time were hardly the marquee team they are today. Walter Payton did not arrive until 1975; he was quietly piling up yardage for Jackson State during the Fire’s first and only season. Gale Sayers had retired in 1972, and Dick Butkus had lasted only through 1973 before his battered knees also forced him to the sidelines. Bobby Douglass was the primary Bear Quarterback; in 1972, he managed to run for 968 yards while completing a comical 37.9 percent of his passes. In 1973, the Bears won only 3 of 14 games. As the Bears approached their 1974 summer training camp, a players’ strike was looming and would soon become a reality. Clearly then, there was a window of opportunity for a new professional football team in Chicago, and for a short while, the Chicago Fire took full advantage of that opportunity.

  • The College All-Star Football Classic
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 2 (2000) The College All-Star Football Classic By Jon Grogan INTRODUCTION In early 1934, Chicago mayor Edward Kelly asked the editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, Colo- nel Robert McCormick, to help stage a sports spectacle as an adjunct to the city’s Century of Progress exposition. A year earlier, the Tribune hosted the first all-star baseball game at Comisky Park to help boost attendance at the exposition. The game was a financial and promotional success, and it catapulted its organizer, Tribune sports editor Arch Ward, to a preeminent position in the area of sports promotion. After speaking to the mayor, McCormick turned again to his thirty-seven year old sports editor for another idea. Ward subsequently met with his friend, Chicago Bear owner George Halas, and the two tossed around the idea for a football game between a team of the nation’s best collegiate players and the de- fending National Football League champions. Each man saw benefits in staging such a contest. Arch Ward joined the Chicago Tribune in January 1925, fresh from the campus of the University of Notre Dame where he had been Knute Rockne’s press secretary. His primary job at Notre Dame lay in promot- ing Rockne and his “Rambler” (precursor to the “Fighting Irish”) football team to eastern newspapers, par- ticularly those in New York City. After stints as a copyreader and the assistant sports editor, Ward be- came the Tribune’s sports editor in April 1930. Although he lacked the journalistic skills of sports report- ers like Grantland Rice and Ring Lardner, Ward was an accomplished and indefatigable promoter.

  • World Bowl I ...And Only~
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 2 (1998) WORLD BOWL I .... AND ONLY~ by Mark Speck The World Bowl Championship Game was supposed to be the crown jewel of the W.F.L.'s inaugural season. But because of problems both on and off the field, that crown jewel began to take on the look of a dunce cap. Originally scheduled to be played November 29, 1974 in Jacksonville's Gator Bowl, the World Bowl was to cap the first successful season of a league that founder and commissioner Gary Davidson said would one day "encompass the entire planet." "We are pleased to be able to announce Jacksonville as the site of our first championship game," Davidson crowed proudly, "The response of the fans in the Jacksonville area to the W.F.L. has been tremendous and we are certain that they will do an outstanding job in hosting our first title game." But as the season progressed, it became painfully obvious that most of the league's teams were concerned with making payroll than making the playoffs. Every team in the league experienced some sort of financial hardship. Two teams moved and two other franchises folded. One of the teams that folded was Jacksonville. The response of the fans in the Jacksonville area to the W.F.L. had been less than tremendous. In fact, they treated the league with the same distaste that they held for snow or dirt in the swimming pool. In short, they didn't like it, and by November wanted nothing to do with hosting any World Bowl game.
