    APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA 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.

    THE CHRONICLE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1987 « DUKE UNIVERSITY DURHAM. NORTH CAROLINA CIRCULATION: 15,000 VOL, 83, NO. 60 Football beats UNC 25-10 to reclaim bell By BRENT BELVIN CHAPEL HILL — The Victory Bell, given to the win­ ner of the annual season-ending Duke-North Carolina football game, returns to Durham after the Blue Devils pasted the Tar Heels 25-10 Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. The victory raised Duke's record to 5-6, the Blue Devils' best record since 1982, while UNC dropped to 5-6. In a season full of narrow and bitter defeats, eighteen seniors were able to walk away from their collegiate ca­ reers on a positive note. At halftime, however, they might have wondered if Duke was on its way to another devastating loss. Sophomore placekicker Doug Peterson had missed an extra-point after Duke's first touchdown, and after a penalty nullified a touchdown pass, senior quarterback Steve Slayden threw an ill-advised pass that was picked off in the endzone. Instead of leading by seven at halftime, Duke found it­ self down by one — 10-9. But the Blue Devils, aided by injuries to Tar Heel quarterback Mark Maye and star tailback Torin Dorn, exploded in the second half to out- LANCE MORITZ/THE CHRONICLE score the Tar Heels 16-0. Steve Slayden hands off to Stanley Monk. Slayden and Monk were two of 18 seniors who can say their last "Our defense gave up some pass plays," said Duke collegiate game was a 25-10 trouncing of the University of North Carolina.

  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.

Charley Steiner: Well, sadly the season ended on opening day for you guys. 1 Will Hobson: They might be a little bit better this year than they were last year but at least they've got a few young kids that are worth paying attention to like Franco and what have you.

  • Rockbridge County, Virginia
    ROCKBRIDGB COUNTY, VIRGINIA ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA A N INFORMAL HISTORY by Edmi,nd Pendleton Tompkins, M.D. Late Librarian, Rockbridge H lstorlcal Society Edited by Mars1,all William Fishwick, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of American Studies Washington and Lee University I 9 5 2 WHITTBT & SHBPPBRSON • RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 0 FOREWORD AMBRICAN HISTORY has too often been written from the top down, rather than from the bottom up. The group involved has usually been the Senate, the Cabinet, or the General Staff. The scene has too often been New York, Washington, or the library stacks, rather than the American land and Main Street from which our culture springs and from which all our power is ultimately derived. The real American heritage is apparent only to those who follow the smaller contours and meanings, and fit them carefuHy into the general picture. Only when the individual fibers are understood is the completed pattern comprehensible. Edmund Pendleton Tompkins (1868-1952) spent years ex­ amining the fibers that went into Rockbridge county, and found in its diversification incentive and material for an Odyssey of the human spirit. Born in Lexington, Dr. Tomp­ kins attended Washington and Lee University and the Medi­ cal College of Virginia. From 1897 to 1907 he practiced medicine in the Natural Bridge neighborhood, and in 1913 toured the hospitals of Europe. Returning to his native county in 1925, he practiced medicine until his eighty-second year, endearing himself to thousands of people whom he attended. For many years he was county coroner, and he always par­ ticipated in the various affairs of his community.

REVOLT IN VIRGINIA Harry Byrd and the 1952 Presidential Election by JAMES R. SWEENEY* PRIOR to 1952 Virginians had voted for a Republican president only once in the twentieth century. In 1928 Herbert Hoover defeated Al Smith by 24,463 votes. Extraordinary circumstances produced that result. Smith's Catholicism and his opposition to Prohibition made him unacceptable to many Virginians, including the politically powerful Methodist Bishop James Cannon, Jr. By 1952 an entirely different political situation had developed in the Democratic Party, but Virginia Democrats were confronted with the same problem as in 1928, namely, whether or not to support a presidential candidate for whom they had a distinct lack of enthusiasm.' Since the incep- tion of the New Deal, the dominant wing of the Virginia Democratic Party, headed by Senator Harry F.

The origin of and continued demand for desegregation came from black Virginians who were challenging an oppressive racial caste system that greatly limited their freedom as American citizens. In the 1930's they b^gan demanding teacher salaries and school facilities equal to their white counter- parts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People provided lawyers and organizational assistance as the school protests became a mass movement among black Virginians. In 1951, the protest became an attack on public school segre- gation itself. /V The Brown decision and the response to it split white opinion into three groups. A few white liberals publicly ac- cepted racial integration as good; extreme segregationists vehemently rejected any change in the racial caste system; a third group occupied the more complex middle or moderate posi- tion.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Christopher Browning Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Lloyd Kramer Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Benjamin Carl Pearson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BENJAMIN CARL PEARSON: Faith and Democracy: Political Transformations at the German Protestant Kirchentag, 1949-1969 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) In the decades following World War II, German Protestants worked to transform their religious tradition. While this tradition had been previously characterized by rigidly hierarchical institutional structures, strong nationalist leanings, and authoritarian political tendencies, the experiences of dictatorship and defeat caused many Protestants to question their earlier beliefs. Motivated by the desire to overcome the burden of the Nazi past and by the opportunity to play a major role in postwar rebuilding efforts, several groups within the churches worked to reform Protestant social and political attitudes. As a result of their efforts, the churches came to play an important role in the ultimate success and stability of West German democracy. This study examines this transformation at the meetings of the German Protestant Kirchentag, one of the largest and most diverse postwar gatherings of Protestant laity. After situating the Kirchentag within the theological and political debates of the immediate postwar years, it focuses on changing understandings of the role of the church in society, the pluralization of Protestant political attitudes, and the shift from national to international self-understandings within the churches.
