  • 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.

  • Dodgers and Giants Move to the West: Causes and Effects an Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Nick Tabacca Dr. Tony Edmonds Ball State
    Dodgers and Giants Move to the West: Causes and Effects An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Nick Tabacca Dr. Tony Edmonds Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2004 May 8, 2004 Abstract The history of baseball in the United States during the twentieth century in many ways mirrors the history of our nation in general. When the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants left New York for California in 1957, it had very interesting repercussions for New York. The vacancy left by these two storied baseball franchises only spurred on the reason why they left. Urban decay and an exodus of middle class baseball fans from the city, along with the increasing popularity of television, were the underlying causes of the Giants' and Dodgers' departure. In the end, especially in the case of Brooklyn, which was very attached to its team, these processes of urban decay and exodus were only sped up when professional baseball was no longer a uniting force in a very diverse area. New York's urban demographic could no longer support three baseball teams, and California was an excellent option for the Dodger and Giant owners. It offered large cities that were hungry for major league baseball, so hungry that they would meet the requirements that Giants' and Dodgers' owners Horace Stoneham and Walter O'Malley had asked for in New York. These included condemnation of land for new stadium sites and some city government subsidization for the Giants in actually building the stadium. Overall, this research shows the very real impact that sports has on its city and the impact a city has on its sports.

  • National Football League Franchise Transactions
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4 (1982) The following article was originally published in PFRA's 1982 Annual and has long been out of print. Because of numerous requests, we reprint it here. Some small changes in wording have been made to reflect new information discovered since this article's original publication. NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE FRANCHISE TRANSACTIONS By Joe Horrigan The following is a chronological presentation of the franchise transactions of the National Football League from 1920 until 1949. The study begins with the first league organizational meeting held on August 20, 1920 and ends at the January 21, 1949 league meeting. The purpose of the study is to present the date when each N.F.L. franchise was granted, the various transactions that took place during its membership years, and the date at which it was no longer considered a league member. The study is presented in a yearly format with three sections for each year. The sections are: the Franchise and Team lists section, the Transaction Date section, and the Transaction Notes section. The Franchise and Team lists section lists the franchises and teams that were at some point during that year operating as league members. A comparison of the two lists will show that not all N.F.L. franchises fielded N.F.L. teams at all times. The Transaction Dates section provides the appropriate date at which a franchise transaction took place. Only those transactions that can be date-verified will be listed in this section. An asterisk preceding a franchise name in the Franchise list refers the reader to the Transaction Dates section for the appropriate information.

  • Goln' to the DOGS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 6 (1998) GOlN’ TO THE DOGS By Paul M. Bennett They're off and running excitedly and enthusiastically chasing that elusive rabbit. The long since departed and all but forgotten, All-America Football Conference was a professional football league that had "gone to the dogs." Literally! Some football fans, such as those dour National Football League diehards (you know who you are), would say that "going to the dogs" definitely had described the AAFC's level of play during the league's all too brief, four-year tenure as a fiery competitor to the established pro league. Their argument was further reinforced after the league finally called it quits following the end of the 1949 season, when three of its teams (Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts) were absorbed, or merged (if one is kind), into the NFL commencing with the 1950 season. AAFC fans would simply say "pooh" to those NFL naysayers. What did they know? Haughtiness and arrogance seemed to have been their credo. Conservative to a fault. A new idea must be a bad idea! The eight-team AAFC had played football at a level that was both entertaining to the viewing public and similar in quality to that of the older, ten-team league. The only problem the AAFC seemed to have had was its overall lack of depth, talent-wise, and, more importantly, its lack of adequate team competition. The AAFC's chief asset had been the powerful and innovative Cleveland Browns, arguably one of professional football's most dominant franchises.

  • The Staten Island Stapletons
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 6 (1985) THE STATEN ISLAND STAPLETONS By John Hogrogian Special thanks to N.F.L. Properties, Inc. for permission to publish this article. Trollies rolled down Broadway and Calvin Coolidge was president when the NFL came to New York City in 1925. In the years since Tim Mara founded the Giants, NFL teams have made their home in each of the City's five boroughs. The Giants played in the Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan through 1955, then moved to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx through 1973. The Brooklyn Dodgers football team thrived in Ebbets Field during the 1930s and 1940s. The Jets made their home in Shea Stadium in Queens from 1964 until recently. And, in the sleepiest of the boroughs, the Staten Island Stapletons played NFL ball from 1929 through 1932. The Stapes struggled through life on a shoestring, but helped keep the NFL afloat as it fought for life in the Depression. The Stapes started out in 1915, five years before the NFL was born in the midwest. Dan Blaine, a good halfback and a native of the working-class neighborhood known as Stapleton, along with three other players formed the team to play other semi-pro squads from New York and New Jersey. The Stapes played more for fun than money. Just as well: crowds were small; salaries averaged $10 per game. Nevertheless, they managed to do well, winning several local semi-pro titles before World War I. After military service, Blaine took over sole ownership in 1919. Blaine himself prospered in the 1920s.

  • 75Th Anniversary of Oldest Record in Books
    “OLDEST RECORD IN BOOKS” SET 75 YEARS AGO On November 28, 1929 -- Thanksgiving Day -- Chicago Cardinals halfback ERNIE NEVERS produced one of the most memorable performances in NFL history. On a snow-covered field at Comiskey Park before 7,000 fans, Nevers scored all of the Cardinals’ 40 points, on six rushing touchdowns and four extra points, in their 40-6 win over the crosstown rival Chicago Bears. “This was a game we just had to win,” said Nevers in the book Ernie Nevers, Football Hero. “We were in the throes of deep frustration. In the previous four games against our bitter crosstown rival, we hadn’t scored a single touchdown. Someone had to do something about it.” Nevers certainly did. His records for rushing touchdowns in a game (6) and total points scored in a game (40) have never been broken, and stand as the oldest individual single-game records in league history. Only two other players in the history of the league have ever scored six total touchdowns in a game – Dub Jones of the Cleveland Browns in 1951 (four rushing and two receiving) and Gale Sayers of the Chicago Bears in 1965 (four rushing, one receiving and one punt return). “The final score: Bears 6, Nevers 40!,” said Chicago Bears founder and then-coach GEORGE HALAS in his book Halas. “Nevers was properly cheered by the 8,000 or so people, including the entire Notre Dame team brought there by (KNUTE) ROCKNE for a postseason course.” The previous week against the Dayton Triangles, Nevers had again scored all of his team’s points in a 19-0 shutout.

  • How to Get from Dayton to Indianapolis by Way of Brooklyn, Boston, New York, Dallas, Hershey and Baltimore
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 5 (1995) HOW TO GET FROM DAYTON TO INDIANAPOLIS BY WAY OF BROOKLYN, BOSTON, NEW YORK, DALLAS, HERSHEY AND BALTIMORE By Bob Carroll Originally published in Ragtyme Sports Once upon a time -- well, in March of 1995, to be exact -- Ragtyme Sports published Rick Hines' story on Y.A. Tittle, one of my all-time favorite bald quarterbacks. Maybe I enjoyed reminiscing about Y.A. too much because I read right past an error in the article without noticing it, an error that has since given rise to a series of letter-to-the-editor corrections that may have simply confused the issue further. To remind everybody, what Rick wrote was "... the [Baltimore] Colts were one of four AAFC teams taken in by the NFL. The other teams from the defunct AAFC to merge with the NFL were the [Cleveland] Browns, New York Yankees and San Francisco 49ers." The question seems simple enough: which teams and how many of them from the old All-America Football Conference (1946-1949) were taken into the the National Football League in 1950? What Rick wrote was wrong. But also it was sort of right, as I will explain later. Eric Minde, a reader who knows his AAFC potatoes (as my sainted grandpa used to say}, jumped all over Rick. In Issue 4, Eric said: "... the article about Y.A. Tittle identifies the New York Yankees as an AAFC team that transferred to the NFL -- this is also wrong! The New York Yankees folded with the AAFC -- it was the Boston Yanks already in the NFL before the AAFC came into existence that became the New York Bulldogs, then later renamed the New York Yanks." This is right as far as it goes.

  • The '40'S: Nfl Goes to War
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 8 (1987) THE '40'S: NFL GOES TO WAR By Tony Barnhart Reprinted by permission of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution The decade began with one of the NFL's most celebrated championship games. The Bears had won the Western Division in 1940 with an 8-3 record, with one of their losses being to the Redskins (7-3). Late in that game, the Bears complained of pass interference but didn't get the call. Marshall, the Redskins' owner, called the Bears "crybabies." Appropriately inspired, Halas brought back one of his old assistant coaches, Clark Shaughnessy, who had had great success at Stanford with his sophisticated T-formation. After studying films of the Redskins defense, Shaughnessy made radical changes in the Bears' offense, employing man- in-motion and counter plays designed to confuse the Redskins. The results were overwhelming. On the second play of the game Bears fullback Bill Osmanski ran 68 yards for a touchdown. With quarterback Sid Luckman running the T- formation and controlling the ball with deadly precision, Baugh and the Redskins offense were pinned to the bench for long periods of time. When the smoke finally cleared the Bears had won 73-0, the most lopsided score in championship game history. Less than a year later professional football would be in a somber mood. On Dec. 7, 1941, the NFL was in its last week of the regular season. The New York Giants had already clinched the Eastern Division championship and were playing the Brooklyn Dodgers in the Polo Grounds. Mel Hein, the Hall of Fame center of the Giants, remembers the day well.
