  • The First Pro Bowl Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 4 (1990) The First Pro Bowl Game by Fred R. Crawford The game was conceived by George P. Marshall, the Washington Redskins owner, and sponsored by the Los Angeles Times Charities. Pitting the league champion New York Giants against a collection of the NFL’s finest and five members from two independent Pacific coast teams was a novel idea. Played on January 15, 1939, in old Wrigley Field, a baseball park, before a crowd of an estimated 20,000 fans (30,000 had been expected but with poor weather conditions attendance was low). The game was typical of football in the 1930’s, punting on third down, scoring teams receiving the following kickoff, and a few breaks deciding the outcome of the game. The teams struggled between the 30-yard lines for most of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Giant fullback John (Bull) Karcis intercepted a Cecil Isbell pass on the All-Star 35-yard line and returned it to the All-Star 13. Two running plays and an incomplete pass forced the Giants into settling for a 19-yard field goal by Len Barnum. Giants 3 All-Stars 0. Late in the second quarter the All-Stars started a drive from their own 35 yard line with Ed Goddard running and passing along with John Drake's running, the All-Stars worked the ball to the Giants 19 yard line. Three plays failed to gain yardage and Ernie Smith kicked a 25-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the half.

However, the big winner of the evening was West Lafayette High School standout Daniel Wodicka, who was named as Northwest Indiana’s Scholar Athlete of the Year, receiving a large trophy and scholarship as- sistance of more than $5,000. The event, co-hosted by the National Football Foundation’s Joe Tiller Chapter of Northwest Indiana and Purdue University’s Gimlet Leadership Honorary, drew a crowd of more than 750.

  • Curly Lambeau
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 6, No. 1 (1984) Curly Lambeau Just when most of the small town teams were disappearing, Lambeau had his Packers at the top of the NFL standings. He built a juggernaut that won league championships in 1929, ‘30, and ‘31. No team has ever topped that 3-straight record. Always, Lambeau’s teams emphasized the forward pass, using it as a main part of the offense when other teams treated it as a desperation tactic. In 1935, Don Hutson joined the pack, and – coupled with passers Arnie Herber and Cecil Isbell – he became the most devastating receiver the NFL had ever seen. Featuring Hutson, Lambeau’s Packers continued as a power into the 1940s, winning championships in 1936, ‘39, and ‘44. With six champions and 33 consecutive years as an NFL head coach, Lambeau was a shoo-in as a charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Today, the Green Bay Packers are the only remaining reminder that the National Football League was once studded with “small town” teams. Rock Island, Dayton, Canton and dozens of others competed against Chicago and New York. That little Green Bay survived where so many others failed was, more than anything else, due to the efforts of Earl “Curly” Lambeau. In 1919, when he should have been back at Notre Dame as George Gipp’s sophomore sub, Lambeau organized his frst Green Bay team and talked a local meat packer into sponsoring it. Two years later, Lambeau brought the Packers into the young NFL. Almost immediately, disaster struck! After only one season in the NFL, the Packers were found to have violated some league rules and the franchise was lifted.

  • Passer Ratings
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 9 (1986) BUCKING THE SYSTEM OR, WHY THE NFL CAN'T FIND HAPPINESS WITH ITS PASSER RATINGS By Bob Carroll If you believe in your heart of hearts that Warren Moon is a better passer than Otto Graham, you're at one with the National Football League. Never mind that Graham is a card-carrying member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a quarterback who led the Cleveland Browns to seven league championships in ten seasons, while Moon is the oft-booed signal-caller for one of the NFL's least successful franchises. According to the National Football League's Passer Rating System, Moon tossed for a 68.5 mark last season; Graham, in 1950 – a year his Cleveland Browns won the NFL Championship, could manage only a paltry 64.7. That makes it official; Warren is 3.8 better than "Automatic Otto." Has George Orwell become an NFL flack? Is this reality or newspeak? More! In the gospel according to the NFL, Dan Marino is the best passer ever. Until this year, Joe Montana was. A couple of other top ten performers: Danny White, the guy who made Dallas forget Roger Staubach, and Neil Lomax, whose success in St. Louis has made him a legend. And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. Well, it all depends, you say. Actually, it DOESN'T rain (or snow) inside the Hoosier Dome during any part of the calendar year, and Marino, Montana, White, and Lomax ARE good – maybe great – passers. But, are they THAT good? The much-maligned NFL Way of Rating Passers places some present throwers at the top of the Hurler Heap and consigns such clutzes as Sid Luckman, Johnny Unitas, Y.A.

  • Warren RABB by Jeff Miller
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 7 (2006) Bonus Issue Warren RABB By Jeff Miller The Buffalo Bills were entering their second year of their existence in 1961. The Bills' inaugural season of 1960 had been plagued by inefficiency at quarterback, with veteran Tommy O'Connell alternating playing time along with Johnny Green and the team's first-ever number one draft choice, "Riverboat" Richie Lucas of Penn State. The result? A less-thanstellar 5-8-1 record and a third-place finish in the AFL's Eastern Division. When the Bills opened training camp '61, Green was penciled in as the starter. But mid-way through camp, Green sustained a shoulder injury that forced the recently retired O'Connell back into action. Feeling somewhat insecure about their quarterback situation, the Bills' brought in an NFL castoff named Warren Rabb to bolster the depth chart. Rabb was a two-year starter at Louisiana State, and led the Tigers to an 11-0 record and the Southwestern Conference Title in 1958. LSU faced Clemson in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1959, and, playing part of the game with a broken handed, Rabb led the Tigers to a 7 to 0 victory and the National Championship. "I was running down the sideline and had the ball," Rabb recalls of the play in which he was injured. "The guy put his helmet right on the football when he tackled me, and 1 broke my hand pretty bad. 1 came out of the game and told the coach. 1 said, 'Coach, 1 think my hand's broken.' He looked at it and said, 'Aw, it's alright.' So we got back in the game, and we had an opportunity to try a field goal-35 yards or something like that.

  • Al Blozis: Jersey City Giant
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 6 (1986) AL BLOZIS: JERSEY CITY GIANT By Victor Mastro, Frank Alkyer, and others You can't help but notice in Jersey City. There's the Al Blozis Hospital, the Al Blozis Little League, Blozis Hall, a senior citizen's apartment house, and several other memorials. If you didn't know, you might think Blozis was a wealthy philanthropist. Instead, he was a rugged football player. And a legitimate American hero. Al died over forty years ago while serving his country. His grave in St. Avold Cemetary in France is marked by a plain white cross. The simple inscription reads "Alfred C. Blozis 2 lt 110 inf 28 div New Jersey Jan 31 1945." Similar crosses stand over the graves of thousands of Allied soldiers who died in World War II, and America recalls their sacrifice each Memorial Day. In Jersey City, they still remember Al Blozis daily. Of the 638 National Football League players who served in World War II, 355 were commissioned as officers, 66 were decorated, and 21 lost their lives. "Blozis died during the battle of Black Mountain, near Colmar (France)," said Joseph Scott, who served in the same regiment as Blozis and now is president of Hudson County (New Jersey) Community College. Scott said he knew Blozis was in his regiment, but they never saw each other. "It (the fighting) was pretty fierce for a couple of days, considering it was cleanup duty. The war was practically over by that time." On January 31, six weeks after he'd played in the 1944 NFL championship game, Lt.

  • The Portsmouth Spartans
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 10 (1980) THE PORTSMOUTH SPARTANS By C. Robert Barnett Had it not been for some Wisconsin "cheese" and a Colorado basketball game, the little town of Portsmouth, Ohio might be able to fly two National League championship pennants over Spartan Municipal Stadium. The Portsmouth Spartans were members of the N.F.L. from 1930 through 1933. During those seasons, they amassed a 23-10-4 record (in N.F.L. games) and annually were a contender for the league championship. They couldn't have come any closer without winning it in '31 and '32. Some events of those near-miss seasons still rankle Portsmouth oldtimers. So close! The fact that the team secured an N.F.L. franchise and etched a place in the history of pro football certainly reflects an America of a different era. In the first place, N.F.L. fran- chises were not hard to get in 1930. A franchise could be acquired for as little as a $500 fee and a $2,500 deposit with the league office. Yet, the only city in the league in 1930 with a smaller population than Portsmouth was Green Bay, Wisc., with a population of 37,415 residents.
