Nagurski's Debut and Rockne's Lesson
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 3 (1998) NAGURSKI’S DEBUT AND ROCKNE’S LESSON Pro Football in 1930 By Bob Carroll For years it was said that George Halas and Dutch Sternaman, the Chicago Bears’ co-owners and co- coaches, always took opposite sides in every minor argument at league meetings but presented a united front whenever anything major was on the table. But, by 1929, their bickering had spread from league politics to how their own team was to be directed. The absence of a united front between its leaders split the team. The result was the worst year in the Bears’ short history -- 4-9-2, underscored by a humiliating 40-6 loss to the crosstown Cardinals. A change was necessary. Neither Halas nor Sternaman was willing to let the other take charge, and so, in the best tradition of Solomon, they resolved their differences by agreeing that neither would coach the team. In effect, they fired themselves, vowing to attend to their front office knitting. A few years later, Sternaman would sell his interest to Halas and leave pro football for good. Halas would go on and on. Halas and Sternaman chose Ralph Jones, the head man at Lake Forest (IL) Academy, as the Bears’ new coach. Jones had faith in the T-formation, the attack mode the Bears had used since they began as the Decatur Staleys. While other pro teams lined up in more modern formations like the single wing, double wing, or Notre Dame box, the Bears under Jones continued to use their basic T. -
Statistical Leaders of the ‘20S
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 2 (1992) Statistical Leaders of the ‘20s By Bob GIll Probably the most ambitious undertaking in football research was David Neft’s effort to re-create statistics from contemporary newspaper accounts for 1920-31, the years before the NFL started to keep its own records. Though in a sense the attempt had to fail, since complete and official stats are impossible, the results of his tireless work provide the best picture yet of the NFL’s formative years. Since the stats Neft obtained are far from complete, except for scoring records, he refrained from printing yearly leaders for 1920-31. But it seems a shame not to have such a list, incomplete though it may be. Of course, it’s tough to pinpoint a single leader each year; so what follows is my tabulation of the top five, or thereabouts, in passing, rushing and receiving for each season, based on the best information available – the stats printed in Pro Football: The Early Years and Neft’s new hardback edition, The Football Encyclopedia. These stats can be misleading, because one man’s yardage total will be based on, say, five complete games and four incomplete, while another’s might cover just 10 incomplete games (i.e., games for which no play-by-play accounts were found). And then some teams, like Rock Island, Green Bay, Pottsville and Staten Island, often have complete stats, based on play-by-plays for every game of a season. I’ll try to mention variations like that in discussing each year’s leaders – for one thing, “complete” totals will be printed in boldface. -

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER OUTSTANDING YEAR! How Many Jersey Numbers of Heisman Trophy Winners Can You Name? By John Shearer About four years ago, I wrote a story about the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners have worn. I decided to write the article after noticing that 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor wore No. 10, and I began wondering which other Heisman Trophy winners wore that number. That started an online search, and I was able to find everyone’s number, or at least a number the player wore during part of his career. I wrote the story in chronological order by year and mentioned the jersey number with each player, but someone emailed me and said he would like to see a story if I ever listed the Heisman Trophy winners in numerical order. After I thought about it, an article written that way would make for a more The College Football Historian-2 - interesting story. -

All Pros of 1930
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 1 (1983) ALL PROS OF 1930 by John Hogrogian While the country endured the first year of the great Depression, Bronko Nagurski played his first season with the Chicago Bears. From day one, Nagurski dominated the field with his physical power as a runner and defender. A 1929 All-American at the University of Minnesota, he stepped into the professional ranks without a stumble and led the Bears out of the second division to a strong third place finish. Trailing the Bears in seventh place were the Chicago Cardinals, also the proud possessors of a superstar fullback. Ernie Nevers already had earned himself a reputation as the greatest back in history, both with his play at Stanford and with his pro service. The dominant force on the Cardinals, Nevers was unrivaled as the fullback extraordinaire until Nagurski came along. Only in 1930 would All Pro selectors have to weigh the merits of these two superb fullbacks. Nevers would play his final season in 1931 while Nagurski was struggling with injuries. The closeness of their talents was reflected in the annual poll of sports writers, team officials, coaches, and game officials. The ballot produced a dead heat between the two. The unnamed author of the accompanying article, writing under a Green Bay dateline, stated that the chose to make Nevers the first team fullback because of his wider range of skills.
