    Unit 487 OUR BRIDGE TO YOU Volume 17, No. 2, April 2017 Player Profile – Ancer Haggerty I started playing a lot of bridge just a couple of years ago, after retiring from the federal bench. I could have retired much earlier, and might have started bridge much earlier, too, had I been able to pursue my original professional dream of being a linebacker in the NFL. But that didn’t work out, and probably for the better. I am a lifelong Portlander and football fan. I spent my early years in the Woodlawn neighborhood, and at one time lived just a block from Cowboys great Mel Renfro. He was a childhood pal two years my senior and future star at Jefferson High School. I joined the team as a freshman and played three seasons. I wasn’t there in time to make the 1958 squad, when Renfro was one of the 10 out of 11 starting players who went on to play college ball, but our team did win the city title. Like Renfro, I also played for the Ducks, and as a freshman I competed on the school’s wrestling team. Between football and schoolwork I was also busy with Marine Infantry Officer Training, which I joined to ensure I could finish college before serving. I did go to Vietnam, in 1968, but was there just two weeks when a major injury sent me home and ended any hope I had of playing professional football. That’s when I got to thinking seriously about a law career. At U of O, head coach Len Casanova had urged me in that direction, and during officers’ training I had become intrigued with the Military Code of Justice.

  • APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set the Following Players Comprise the 1960 Season APBA Football Player Card Set
    APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.

There’s more excitement in store this week as the NFL kicks off the second quarter of its season with a bunch of intriguing games including a pair of always interesting NFC East matchups as the Washington Redskins visit the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys are hosted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington all earned impressive victories in Week 4 – while the New York Giants had a bye – including the Eagles’ 31-9 win over Green Bay on Monday night, highlighted by a four-touchdown performance from quarterback DONOVAN MC NABB. After missing significant playing time due to injury a year ago, McNabb leads the NFL with nine touchdown passes, including his 45-and 30-yard touchdown strikes on Monday, and is on pace for a career-best 36. “I looked up on some of the highlights and I saw Peyton Manning score, so I had to outdo him,” says McNabb of his career-best two rushing touchdowns against the Packers. “We have to focus on the mistakes we made in this game and try to eliminate them.

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

  • Andre Reed and the Hall of Fame a Way of Evaluating Pass Receivers
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 5 (1997) Andre Reed and the Hall of Fame A Way of Evaluating Pass Receivers By Keith Joyner I was watching a Denver-Buffalo Monday Night Football game about three years ago and heard something that made my ears perk up. After Andre Reed made a catch for a first down, Dan Dierdorf said that most people would be amazed to find out that Reed had 600 pass receptions, and he suggested that with that number of catches, Reed was probably headed for the Hall of Fame. I have to admit that I was surprised that Andre Reed had that many receptions. The Hall of Fame comment took me by surprise as well. I had never considered Andre Reed a potential Hall of Fame candidate, so I decided to examine the issue further. In reviewing Andre Reed's Hall of Fame qualifications, I always come back to Bill James. Ever since I was a teenager, I have been reading James' baseball books, and a constant theme in his books is perspective. Anytime he reviews a player, team, or era, he always tries to maintain historical perspective. In reviewing a ballplayer, he will try to view the player's accomplishments in relation to the other players of the era. If many ballplayers hit .350 (as happened during the 1920's) hitting .350 isn't as significant an accomplishment as hitting .350 in an era where no one else does (as happened in the 60's) One of the first issues I thought I had to face in determining whether or not Andre Reed's stats were of Hall of Fame caliber was the issue of perspective.

  • Week 16 Features Football on Four Straight Days As Playoff Picture Comes Into Focus
    FOR USE AS DESIRED 12/22/20 WEEK 16 FEATURES FOOTBALL ON FOUR STRAIGHT DAYS AS PLAYOFF PICTURE COMES INTO FOCUS With four straight days of football, a Christmas Day contest, a Saturday tripleheader and two clashes of teams with 10-or- more wins – including a Sunday night showdown on the Frozen Tundra – the NFL’s stockings are full entering Week 16. CHRISTMAS DAY GAMES: The MINNESOTA VIKINGS (6-8) and NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (10-4) kick off Week 16 with a Christmas Day game on Friday (4:30 PM, FOX/NFLN/Amazon). The Saints will clinch a fourth consecutive NFC South title with a win. Including the postseason, this will be the 22nd game played on Christmas Day since the 1970 league merger. That list includes the longest game in NFL history, Dec. 25, 1971, when Miami defeated Kansas City, 27-24, in double overtime to advance in the AFC playoffs. Minnesota wide receiver JUSTIN JEFFERSON is the fifth rookie with at least six games of 100-or-more receiving yards in history, joining BILL GROMAN (nine games in 1960), ODELL BECKHAM JR. (seven games in 2014), HARLON HILL (seven games in 1954) and BILLY HOWTON (six games in 1952). COMEBACK BUCS, BRADY KICK OFF SATURDAY TRIPLEHEADER: The TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (9-5) and DETROIT LIONS (5-9) play the first of three Saturday games this week (1:00 PM ET, NFLN).

  • Ron Kramer: All-American
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 1 (2004) Ron Kramer, All-American: Michigan Legend, Packer Great, Lion Hero By Jim Sargent Ronald John Kramer, one of the greatest athletes in the tradition-rich history of the University of Michigan, enjoyed a stellar career as the prototype tight end for several great Green Bay Packer teams during the Vince Lombardi era and for Kramer’s home state Detroit Lions. Total Football (1997) listed him as one of the 300 greatest players in the game’s history. A member of the College Football Hall of Fame, Ron is one of a handful of Michigan heroes—including halfback Tom Harmon and former President and center Gerald Ford—who have had their maize and blue jerseys retired. Kramer, who stood 6’ 3 ½” and weighed 220 as a senior in college, was an all-around athlete at Michigan. Competing from 1954 through 1957, he earned recognition as a football All-American in his junior and senior years, as MVP and top scorer on the Wolverine basketball team for three straight seasons, and as the team’s best shot putter and high jumper in track. In fact, big Ron is the last nine-letter performer at U-M. The Green Bay Packers, then a doormat in the National Football League, drafted Kramer first in 1957. The Packers also had a “bonus” choice, and they used it to select Notre Dame All-American back Paul Hornung. After coach Vince Lombardi joined Green Bay in 1959, he transformed the franchise, turning the Packers into an NFL powerhouse in the 1960s.
