WLTV-DAY AND NIGHT WESTERN KENTUCKY STATE COLLEGE Western Kentucky State College is located on a hill overlook­ ing the city of Bowling Green, Kentucky (population 32,000). The central portion of the campus, known as College Heights, com­ mands an impressive view of the Barren River valley and surround­ ing hills. Embracing an area of 141 acres, the college campus has 31 beautiful buildings. A farm of 65 acres adjoining the campus provides instructional facilities in agriculture; another farm of 600 acres is maintained for production and research purposes. Rich in local and state history, Bowling Green was an impor­ tant center in the early settlement of the western part of the state. In the early days of the Civil War, General Albert Sidney Johnston established headquarters here for the Confederate Army of the West. A battle was fought in Bowling Green, and the city was for a short time the Confederate capital of Kentucky. A fort, begun by General J ohnston in 1861, was later occupied and held by Union troops. Among their commanders was General Benjamin Harrison, afterwards President of the United States. The Fort, now preserved and incorporated into the carefully planned landscape of the campus, remains a highly valued and treasured memorial in the midst of the college grounds. Originally created in 1906 for the sole purpose of teacher train­ ing, Western now offers three undergraduate degrees and the master's degree with course offerings in twenty-four different de­ partments. On June 1, 1961, the Graduate Division began offering graduate curricula leading to advanced certificates for teachers and school leaders based upon 24 hours beyond the Master's Degree. In addition, pre-professional work leading to entrance in professional and technical colleges for advanced study is also offered. Now with an enrollment of more than 5,000 students, Western as a co-educational institution is in the midst of the greatest build­ ing program in the history of the college. A six-story women's domi­ tory, the tallest building in Bowling Green, is scheduled for oc­ cupancy in September, 1962, and plans for an additional four-story women's dormitory and an ll-story "skyscraper" dormitory for men are well under way. Presently under construction is the $2.9 m illion dollar Academic-Athletic Building, which will house the E. A. Diddle Arena with a maximum seating capacity of 13,000, plus a smaller gymnasium, swimming pool, 30 master classrooms, and a portable stage. Scheduled for completion by September, 1963, the structure will be one of the largest buildings of its type in the United States. The Western Stadium, located in a natural setting on the east side of the campus, has a capacity of 5,500. Crowned by a majestic colennade at the top of the Stadium, the football arena is one of the most striking attractions on the Western campus. In addition to football, a complete schedule of intercollegiate athletics is played in basketball, baseball, track, tennis, and golf at Western. A Little All-America quarterback at Western Kentucky during the 1952 sea­ son, Jim Feix was named to the post of quarterback coach of his former team in 1958. During the 1957 season while com­ pleting requirements for the M. A. de­ gree, Feix served as a student assistant. While a member of Hilltopper teams himself, Feix ranked among the top passers in the nation during both his JIM FEI X junior and senior years. He gained national recognition for his quarterbacking of Western Kentucky's Refrigerator Bowl cham­ pions in 1952. Feix uses his own past quarterbacking. experiences to advan­ tage in coaching the Hilltoppers. A friendly, engaging person, he is one of the most popular members of the Western coaching staff. A native of Henderson, Feix served as a pilot in the U. S. Air Force from 1953 until 1957 when he returned to Western Kentucky to begin graduate work. -4- 1962 WESTERN KENTUCKY OPPONENTS FIRST GAME Southeast Missouri at Bowling Green, Ky.-September 1f>---7:30 p.m. (CST) Read Coach: Kenneth Knox, S.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro 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. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn WASHInGTOn REDSKInS Team History With three Super Bowl championships, the Washington Redskins are one of the NFL’s most dominant teams of the past quarter century. But the organization’s glorious past dates back almost 60 years and includes five world championships overall and some of the most innovative people and ideas the game has ever known. From George Preston Marshall to Jack Kent Cooke, from Vince Lombardi to Joe Gibbs, from Sammy Baugh to John Riggins, plus the NFL’s first fight song, marching band and radio network, the Redskins can be proud of an impressive professional football legacy. George Preston Marshall was awarded the inactive Boston franchise in July 1932. He originally named the team “Braves” because it used Braves Field, home of the National League baseball team. When the team moved to Fenway Park in July 1933, the name was changed to Redskins. A bizarre situation occurred in 1936, when the Redskins won the NFL Eastern division championship but Marshall, unhappy with the fan support in Boston,moved the championship game against Green Bay to the Polo Grounds in New York. Their home field advantage taken away by their owner, the Redskins lost. Not surprisingly, the Redskins moved to Washington, D.C., for the 1937 season. Games were played in Griffith Stadium with the opener on September 16, 1937, being played under flood lights. That year,Marshall created an official marching band and fight song, both firsts in the National Football League. That season also saw the debut of “Slinging Sammy” Baugh, a quarterback from Texas Christian who literally changed the offensive posture of pro football with his forward passing in his 16-season career.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 2 (2006) WHEN HAVING A BETTER RECORD DIDN'T MEAN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, Part Two By Andy Piascik With the NFL-AFL merger in 1966 and the advent of the Super Bowl, pro football's postseason began to grow larger. Neither the NFL or AFL addressed the long-standing problem of how better to determine the home team in their respective Championship Games, however. In fact, almost another decade would go by until necessary changes were made. Instead, both leagues continued with the rotation system that had ruled pro football's postseason since 1933. And as happened so many times previously, the teams that finished with the best regular season record in both leagues in 1966, the Packers and the Chiefs, had to go on the road in the title games. Bucking the odds clearly established over the previous 33 years, both won. Even when the NFL realigned in 1967 and enlarged the playoffs, the same system was left intact. Again, evidence that something was amiss was immediately apparent. That year, the Rams finished 11-1-2 and won the Coastal Division of the Western Conference on the basis of a head to head tie-breaker over the Colts, who also finished 11-1-2. In the West's Central Division, meanwhile, the Packers finished first at 9-4-1. Despite their superior record and even though they had beaten Green Bay in their regular season meeting, the Rams had to travel to Wisconsin to play the Western Conference Championship Game. After beating the Packers two weeks earlier in Los Angeles, the Rams lost and went home while the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.
