The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.

  • Blondy Wallace and the Biggest Football Scandal Ever
    1984 PFRA Annual No. 5 BLONDY WALLACE AND THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL SCANDAL EVER By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1906, the fierce rivalry between the Canton and Massillon pro football teams took a nasty turn toward the unsavory. Most of the nastiness that sometimes showed through in 1905 came from fans goaded by newspaper hyperbole. Incendiary phases like "hated foe" and "bitter enemy" lit up sports pages and ignited fiery oaths on street corners, but managers George Williams of Canton and J.J. Wise of Massillon conducted their clubs with the ethics typical of American businesses at the time. There might be surprise signings of stars such as Michigan's Willie Heston and tricky contract negotiations like Canton's "exclusive" with Carlisle, but ultimately there were real limits to how far either side might go to humble and humiliate the other. It was all right to hit below the belt, but no brass knuckles please. But before the 1906 season ended, all restraints disappeared. Each side stood accused by the other of unfair and illegal practices. There were charges of darker, more dastardly deeds by individuals on both sides. Each club swore never to play the other again. And each was likely to follow through on the threat because both were out of the football business. For Ohio professional football in general and for Massillon and Canton in particular, 1906 was a season of unprecedented disaster. * * * To many Canton minds, the first shot fired in all- out war came a few days after the Massillon Tigers defeated the Canton team for the 1905 state championship.

  • Fighting Illini Football History
    HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, Zuppke’s men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov.

  • Lavie Dilweg, by Nearly All Contemporary Accounts and Measurements, Was the Best End in Pro Football Almost from His First Game Until His Last
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 3 (1986) THE BEST END WE EVER FORGOT By Bob Carroll Lavie Dilweg, by nearly all contemporary accounts and measurements, was the best end in pro football almost from his first game until his last. He had an unusually long career, played on the best team of his time, and followed his playing days with a life of public service that took him all the way to Washington. What more could anyone ask? How about being remembered? Today, the name Dilweg would stump all but the most dedicated pro football trivia buffs. Ask the average fan to identify "Dilweg" and he might think it's some kind of pickle. Well, you say, that happens sometimes. The men he played against and beat, the writers who modified his name with reverent adjectives, the fans who cheered him to the skies have, for the most part, passed on. The man himself is gone. That's the way it happens. Yet, it didn't happen to Ed Healey or Mike Michalske or George Trafton or Joe Guyon – men arguably no better at their positions than Dilweg at his. Their glory, legends, and skill seem to grow greater in proportion to the distance from their last games. Their names may not ring a bell with the casual fan, but to anyone who knows pro football was played before Garbo talked, their names set off tingles like the Greeks used to get when Homer mentioned Olympus. But Dilweg? Is it some kind of toupee? Well, if he was so good, why ain't he famous? The reasons for this phenomenon are to be found in the way football has changed since Lavie played it so well and in his own – for lack of a better word – style.
