INTRODUCTION The Native American team name and mascot controversy has dismpted the world of American sports for more than six decades. In the 1940s, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) began a campaign against a variety of negative and unfiattering stereotypes of Indians in American culture.' Over time, the campaign began to focus on the use of Native American team names—like Indians and Redskins—and mascots by college and professional sports teams.2 The NCAI's basic argument was that the use of such names, mascots, and logos was offensive and *J.

  • La Salle College High School Football: in Retrospect
    La Salle College High School Football: In Retrospect NOTE: This is the thirty-fourth in a series of retrospectives highlighting some unique history of the football program at La Salle. Please continue to provide me with suggestions for future topics. Hope you enjoy these. Bill Wasylenko, ‘69 Issue Number Thirty-Four: A Falcon Never Lets Go This is the story of the rich football rivalry between the La Salle Explorers and the North Catholic Falcons. In the early 1920’s, Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop of Philadelphia, foresaw the need to expand the reach of the Archdiocese. He acquired many plots of land in the outer reaches of the city of Philadelphia, and beyond, into what we now know as the suburbs. His visionary plan allowed for many parishes and parish schools to be built on these plots of land years after their acquisition. But, in the field of secondary education, the needs were more pressing. With just two diocesan high schools for boys (Catholic High, West Catholic) located in the city of Philadelphia, it was time for another boys’ high school to be built to meet the growing demand for Catholic secondary education. The land for Northeast Catholic High School (“North” Catholic started to appear around 1937) was purchased from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and the school opened on September 7, 1926, to 277 freshmen and 172 sophomores. Eight Oblates and 5 other teachers formed the initial faculty. The first class at Northeast Catholic chose a Latin expression for its motto; the translation: “What I have, I will not lose”.

  • The Scoring Machine
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol 19, No. 1 (1997) THE SCORING MACHINE 1950 Rams were potent force on offense By Stanley Grosshandler In a move that was to have a far reaching consequence on the development of the NFL, the 1945 champion Cleveland Rams left the cold, murky waters of Lake Erie for the warm clear Pacific shores. By 1949 they were again the Western Division champs. "I give a great deal of credit for our great teams to Clark Shaughnessey and Eddie Kotal," says Dick Hoerner, the fullback on those teams. "Clark got rid of the trouble makers and slackards and molded us into a well oiled machine. Eddie Kotal, our personnel director, brought in excellent talent. We had a great gang. We lived, ate, and talked football. We never discussed our salaries with the press or even with one another." "There was a real closeness in those days," added Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch, the star receiver. "We spent a lot of time together and became very close. Since we traveled by train and were often on the road several weeks we really got to know one another." "While we took the Western Division in both '49 and '50 and the league in '51, I believe our best team was the 1950 one," said Hoerner. "In 1949 Van Buren slid to the title in the rain, while in '50 we ouplayed the Browns only to lose to a last-minute field goal, 30-28." "The 1950 team did have better talent," agreed Hirsch. "A good example was at tackle. Dick Huffman went both ways, while Bob Reinhard only played defense.

  • 1950 - a Landmark Year
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 1 (1992) 1950 - A Landmark Year by Stan Grosshandler The 1950 season was truly a landmark year and could even be considered the true beginning of the modern era of the National Football League as it encompassed many factors that had tremendous influence on the league. The decade that followed has been termed "The Golden Age of Pro Football." 1950 got it off and winging. On January 20, the Rules Committee allowed unlimited substitution which was destined to totally change the character of the game. The dissolution of the All- American Football Conference brought three new franchises into the league: Cleveland, San Francisco, and Baltimore. The first two were destined to be among the most successful sports franchises in history. With the Browns came Coach Paul Brown, perhaps the most innovative coach the game has ever seen. His philosophy, theory, and teaching techniques influence football coaching at all levels to this very day. Now all the best players would be concentrated in the NFL. These included a number of players from defunct AAFC teams and a whole cadre of well-trained recent college grads whose careers that had been disrupted by war. Ex-GI's who'd entered college in 1946 were now eligible for pro football. And of course, there was the usual fine crop of ex- collegians whose careers had passed uninterrupted from high school to college and now to pro ball. Undoubtedly, more talent was present in the league in 1950 than ever before. Television for the first time began to wind its tentacles around the game, as the Rams contracted to show all games on television including home contests.
