M. The first seeds will be planted in the 140 individual gardens by cMldren of the noightoorhood. Summer crops of sweet corn, beans, swiss chard, carrots, beets will bo sown. Those individual gardens are allotted to different child- ren at each planting. The Children's Garden adjoins the old Schenk House, which was built in 1762. This garden was reconstructed in keeping with this old colonial landmark. A 2 room gatehouse, at the entrance to the garden witfc its wide clapboards, stone sides, half doors and many panod windows, might well have been built by the original craftsman, who erected the old Schenk Homestead. One room is used for storing miniature spades, rakes, hoes and other juvenile im- plements; the other room serves as a mooting room and display center for items of garden interest. The garden covers about half an acre, with paved walks and bordered flower- beds.

  • Back Before Bengalmania Cincinnati's First Brush with the Big Time
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 11, No. 5 (1989) Back Before Bengalmania Cincinnati's First Brush With the Big Time by Bob Gill Sometimes the past pops up in the darnedest places. Last January, amid the Super Bowl hoopla that engulfed Cincinnati and all the southwestern Ohio, the Dayton Daily News (on a page headed "Bengalmania") ran a column by Bucky Albers about Cincinnati's first brush with big-time pro football: the 1937 Bengals of the American Football League. What the column doesn't say is that from 1936 to '41 Cincinnati was a hotbed of pro football activity. It's hard to fault Albers for that, though, because it's a story that very few people know. The tale begins with the formation of Midwest Football League in early 1936. This minor league grew from a regular circuit of teams that played each other in 1935. It included clubs in Louisville, Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus, Springfield--and two in Cincinnati. Most were sponsored by local businesses, and the Cincinnati members were no exception. One was called the Model Shoes (Models for short), the other the Tresler Oils (or Treslers). The Models were the important team, featuring several former or future NFL players, including John Wiethe, an all-pro in 1939 and '40. They were coached by Hal Pennington and led on the field by a diminutive halfback named Leo Sack, who was second in the league in scoring with 42 points. They finished the regular season undefeated, but the league staged a Shaughnessy-style playoff afterward (first place against fourth, second against third, winners meet for the championship), and the Models lost the title game to the Louisville Tanks by the singular score of 2-0.

  • Byron White's Rookie Season
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 6 (1996) BYRON WHITE'S ROOKIE SEASON By John Hogrogian Nineteen thirty-eight was a good year for Byron White. On New Year's Day, the 20-year-old senior led the unbeaten Buffaloes of the University of Colorado into the second annual Cotton Bowl game in Dallas. The Owls of Rice University beat Colorado 28-14 before about 37,000 fans. In a strong effort for the losers, White threw one touchdown pass and ran 53 yards with an interception for the other Colorado touchdown. The Cotton Bowl capped a superb season for White. Every major selector had picked him for the All- American backfield. The powerful 185-pound tailback was the star runner, passer and kicker in the Colorado single-wing offense, and he also excelled in the defensive secondary. Although Clint Frank of Yale won the Heisman Trophy, "Whizzer" White was the most acclaimed college football player of the 1937 season. With football over, Byron White took to the basketball floor for Colorado. The Buffaloes compiled a 10-2 conference record and were invited to compete in the first annual National Invitational Tournament in the Madison Square Garden in March. The Buffs would play NYU in the semi-final round on March 14, then, if successful, would play for the championship on March 16. The New York Times described Colorado as "a high-scoring outfit built around Jim (Swisher) Schwartz, a great shotmaker, and Byron (Whizzer) White, the All-American football back." Schwartz averaged an outstanding 17.7 points per game.
