1942-01-03 [P EAST FAVORITE IN ALL-STAR SHINER GAME CHARITY GAME SET FOR NEW ORLEANS Jinx Favors Westerns In Spite Of Talented East- ern Performers BY MORTIMER KREEGER NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2.—C?)— The east will have the big name players but the west will have its old-time jinx working tomorrow in the Shriners’ annual all-star charity game transferred here from San Francisco. The Easterners, with four men from the all-America to the west’s three and four from the second team to the west’s one, are decid- ed favorites. But they’re pratical- ly always the favorites—yet have- n’t won since 1937 and have taken only five victories to their oppon- ents’ ten. The very presence of publicized players on the eastern squad has made western teams go out de- termined to show ’em up. Which they usually do. Eastern all-Americas include two guards, Endicott Peabody 11 of Har- vard and Ralph File of Pittsburgh, and a pair of backs, Bruce Smith of Minnesota and Bill Dudley DUKE GAINS IN ROSE BOWL of Virginia.

  • Mcafee Takes a Handoff from Sid Luckman (1947)
    by Jim Ridgeway George McAfee takes a handoff from Sid Luckman (1947). Ironton, a small city in Southern Ohio, is known throughout the state for its high school football program. Coach Bob Lutz, head coach at Ironton High School since 1972, has won more football games than any coach in Ohio high school history. Ironton High School has been a regular in the state football playoffs since the tournament’s inception in 1972, with the school winning state titles in 1979 and 1989. Long before the hiring of Bob Lutz and the outstanding title teams of 1979 and 1989, Ironton High School fielded what might have been the greatest gridiron squad in school history. This nearly-forgotten Tiger squad was coached by a man who would become an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns, general manager of the Buffalo Bills and the second director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The squad featured three brothers, two of which would become NFL players, in its starting eleven. One of the brothers would earn All-Ohio, All-American and All-Pro honors before his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. This story is a tribute to the greatest player in Ironton High School football history, his family, his high school coach and the 1935 Ironton High School gridiron squad. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the undefeated and untied Ironton High School football team featuring three players with the last name of McAfee. It was Ironton High School’s first perfect football season, and the school would not see another such gridiron season until 1978.

  • The President's Corner
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. XVII (1996) THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER By Jack Clary Continuing with some memories of outstanding pro footballers who passed away last year: In 1946 Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes were the principles in the only severe gambling incident ever to affect an NFL championship game. Filchock was the Giants best offensive performer and Hapes backed up No. 2 rusher Bill Paschal (and Jim Lee Howell was one of their teammates). They helped the Giants to win the 1946 Eastern Division title, and were set to play the Chicago Bears for the title at the Polo Grounds. Frank Filchock: He was from the University of Indiana, and had backed up Sammy Baugh for many seasons at Washington. He was a happy-go-lucky, sometimes unpredictable guy who, as happened in this instance, often wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He made scrambling an art form because if his pass protection broke down, he was renowned for dancing and circling away from defenders until he found someone to throw to, or just took off and ran with the ball. But with this flamboyance also came a reputation for making mistakes -- 25 interceptions in 1946, one in every six and a half attempts, compared to just 12 TD passes. He had been traded to the Giants after the 1945 season and seemed to have at last found a full-time job as the ideal tailback in Owen's A-formation offense. Merle Hapes: He was from Mississippi, and a rookie in 1942. He spent three seasons in the military before rejoining the team in 1946.
