  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.

  • Podunk Versus Gotham: the 1946 Browns-Yankees Rivalry
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 2 (1994) PODUNK VERSUS GOTHAM: THE 1946 BROWNS-YANKEES RIVALRY by Jack Ziegler In 1946 America had a new football league - the All-America Conference. In the Eastern division the New York Yankees dominated. In the West the Cleveland Browns emerged as the team to beat, though not without some stiff competition from the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Dons. A lively rivalry quickly developed between the two divisional champions due in large part to the personalities of their coaches, New York's Ray Flaherty and Cleveland's Paul Brown. The Yankees with their uniforms of silver and blue and offices on Park Avenue were the blue chip franchise of the new league and Ray Flaherty was their blue chip coach. Flaherty's roots reached deep into pro football. He had played end with Red Grange's New York Yankees in 1927-28. In 1929 Flaherty moved to Steve Owen's New York Giants, becoming a playing coach in 1933 at age 29. In 1936 Flaherty became head coach of the Boston Redskins. In 1937, Flaherty coached the Redskins (now in Washington) to a league championship, a feat he duplicated in 1942. After Navy service in World War II, Flaherty assumed control of the Yankees. The AAC's most high-profile coach felt very good about his personnel: "I have the best material I've ever had, and that goes for the fine Washington teams." The major power in the West would turn out to be the Cleveland Browns. or as Flaherty snidely referred to them, "a team from Podunk with a high school coach." At 38, only four years younger than Flaherty, Paul Brown seemed the antithesis of his opposite number.

  • 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.

  • PDF Vol 1 History
    Comments of Present and Former Colleagues and Graduate Students on This Book “What a completely wonderful, beautiful book! I look forward to reading it. I was really moved by the inscription you wrote. Thank you so much. It is hard for me to believe, but I am now the most senior member of the department. I’m doing my best to keep the spirit of intellectual pluralism and adventurousness alive, but sometimes it is hard given all of the pressures the department is under. Your book, I think, will do much to remind people of values and spirit which have sustained us.” - Erik Wright, colleague, University of Wisconsin (deceased Jan. 22, 2019) “I have recently joined what I suspect are the exclusive ranks of those who have read the entirety of your 1200 plus page colossal, encyclopedic history of the UW Sociology Department (and its Rural Sociology and Anthropology offspring). When I embarked on the Political Science history, I tracked down most of the dozen or so departmental histories then in existence; I can attest that none of them re- motely compare to yours in their scope, the richness of their detail, or the extraor- dinary scope of the research that you undertook. The accomplishment becomes all the more impressive if, as you suggest in the foreword, you were entirely on your own in this venture, and did not have the funding that I did to hire several research assistants. The amount of material you gathered, and the rich biographical de- tail you provide about the generations of Department faculty as well as many of the graduate students is truly breathtaking.

    APBA Great Teams of the Past Football Season Card Set Volume 1 The following players comprise the Great team of the Past Vol. 1 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. 1942 CHICAGO 1950 CLEVELAND 1962 GREEN BAY 1968 BALTIMORE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE Wide Receiver: John Siegel Wide Receiver: Mac Speedie Wide Receiver: Boyd Dowler PA Wide Receiver: Willie Richardson George Wilson Dante Lavelli Max McGee PB Jimmy Orr Hampton Pool Horace Gillom OC PA Gary Barnes Alex Hawkins Connie Mack Berry George Young Tackle: Bob Skoronski Ray Perkins Bob Nowaskey Tackle: Lou Groza KA KOA Forrest Gregg Gail Cogdill Clint Wager Lou Rymkus OC Norm Masters Tackle: Bob Vogel Tackle: Ed Kolman Chubby Gregg KB KOB Guard: Fuzzy Thurston Sam Ball Lee Artoe KB KOB John Sanusky Jerry Kramer KA KOA John Williams Joe Stydahar KB KOB John Kissell Ed Blaine Guard: Glenn Ressler Bill Hempel Guard: Weldon Humble Center: Jim Ringo Dan Sullivan Al Hoptowit Lin

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No 3 (2005) The following opinions are not necessarily those of PFRA: Why the AAFC Cleveland Browns Were the Best Team in Football From 1946 Through 1949 By Andy Piascik The legacy of the All America Football Conference has not stood the passage of time very well. More than 50 years after three of its franchises merged into the NFL, the AAFC is largely unknown by several generations of fans. Only fans of the league’s teams who are still around and pro football history buffs know of its achievements and contributions to the development of football. And to add insult to injury, the increasingly low visibility of the AAFC over the years is largely a result of a conscious attitude of the NFL hierarchy. That a league that only lasted four seasons and expired in 1949 is largely unknown by today’s fans is entirely understandable on one level. Most fans live in the present – this game, this season, these players – and have as a frame of reference primarily who and what they’ve seen in their time as fans. Where the AAFC has not been well served, however, is by the NFL’s league office, which has essentially relegated the league to a minor league status. From the exclusion of individual feats from official record books to the ignoring of team histories and attainments, the NFL has perpetuated the idea that the AAFC was inferior to such a degree that it warrants only a passing footnote in the game’s history. Among those who serve as at least a slight counterweight to this unfortunate state of affairs is the PFRA and prominent sportswriters like Paul Zimmerman and the late John Steadman.
