  • Sifting Through Sollenberger's Treasure Trove
    Sifting Through Sollenberger’s Treasure Trove berger also used his preseason magazine as a vehicle to de- liver Arizona’s high school sports history. Since relaunching Sollenberger’s magazine in 2014, we’ve added a story written by Sollenberger in every edition, contin- uing his tradition of keeping Arizona’s high school sports his- tory — and Sollenberger’s memory— alive. In this year’s issue, we have a story by Sollenberger on a 1960s Arizona 6- man two-time champ. We want to thank all of the coaches who answered our calls and countless emails to help produce the magazine. The football players were the beneficiaries. Just like Sollen- berger wanted. Barry Sollenberger Jose Garcia By Jose Garcia azpreps365.com Arizona Interscholastic Association tournament director David Shapiro, azpreps365.com’s sports information director Seth Polansky and I went hunting a couple of months ago. The location was a Phoenix warehouse, where we scav- enged for Arizona high school sports history items. Barry Sol- lenberger left behind a treasure trove of objects, which Dave Kukulski, Sollenberger’s publishing partner and friend, and Kukulski’s family stored at their warehouse. The Sollenberger’s AZ Football Prep Magazine is named after Sollenberger, the late Arizona high school sports histo- rian of the AIA. Sollenberger and the Kukulskis published their first preseason Arizona high school football magazine in 1970. The Kukulski’s allowed the AIA to move Sollenberger’s boxes and file cabinets to its Phoenix office, shrinking Polan- sky’s office space. He is archiving Sollenberger’s finds. Among Sollenberger’s items were several photos, some of which you'll find in this magazine, including an image of Randall McDaniel playing at Agua Fria High School.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.
