The implication is that we, football coaches , accept and share a responsibility to take care of our game in Minnesota; to celebrate it, to preserve it, to improve it, to continue and better its’ course. We are the ‘guardians’, the custodians of something, we all know, is worth keeping. Across our state, the keepers and the kids will soon meet again to teach, Ron Stolski learn,and enjoy our special game; its’ special gifts. There are, of course, legions of Executive Director people who give of their passion, time, and talent to the game and to the MFCA. The pages of this marvelous magazine are filled with the names of coaches who contribute in myriad ways, to the welfare and well being of the game. They are Conference Reps., Committee Chairs, Special Event Chairs, Officers past and present, Hall of Famers, Championship Coaches, Award recepients, et all. I might suggest that there are few State Football Associations across the country that receive as much support as our MFCA. For that, and on behalf of the Executive Committee, I express my heartfelt thanks to all, and invite all of our coaches to continue to participate in and contribute to the many opportunities and programs available to help us be better ‘keepers’. The special contributions made by so many are far too numerous too mention, suffice to say as noted, our pages are filled with them. I do want to give VERY Special thanks to Terry Turek, and his wife, Megan, for the wonderful job they do of gathering, writing, editing and publishing this Summer Manual. It is an outstanding magazine; an interesting and important reference and a complete and marvelous summary of us; today and yesterday. Terry and Megan do an exceptional job that requires hours,days, and weeks of work.Congratulations and, again, thanks. In this Autumn, I am reminded of my own. Enjoy, good friends. See you on the field.

  • 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.

  • Coach Steve Owen: the Great Innovator
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996) COACH STEVE OWEN: THE GREAT INNOVATOR By Stan Grosshandler, et.al. (Originally published in part in Football Digest) Professional football has advanced from a simple to complex game. To a great extent, this is due to the imaginative genius of the coaches. In the early years the innovators were George Halas, Curly Lambeau, Greasy Neale and Jimmy Conzelman. Later Paul Brown and Vince Lombardi came along. Today [ed.: 1970s] we have Tom Landry, Don Shula, Hank Stram and George Allen to mention a few. Seldom mentioned; yet one of the great innovators of all time is Steve Owen, for 23 years the guiding genius of the New York Giants. Stout Steve came up with innovations like the A-formation and the Umbrella Defense. These were not only catchy names, but effective weapons. The Giants under Owen won eight division and two league championships. What is even more remarkable about Owen is that he stressed defense when few of his contemporaries did. His kind of football began with blocking and tackling. "Football is a game played down in the dirt and it always will be. There's no use getting fancy about it." Often criticized by Giants fans as ultra-conservative, he may have been the first NFL coach to elect to kick off to start a game. He often chose to go for a sure field goal rather than gamble for a touchdown, and that further upset New York rooters. Eventually, however, the rest of the league came around to his way of thinking.
