  • Statistical Leaders of the ‘20S

    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.

  • Ben Lee Boynton:The Purple Streak

    Ben Lee Boynton:The Purple Streak

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 25, No. 3 (2003) Ben Lee Boynton:The Purple Streak by Jeffrey Miller The 1924 season was one of transition for Buffalo’s pro football team. The All-Americans, as the team had been known since its founding in 1920, had been very successful in its four year history, finishing within one game of the league championship in both the 1920 and 1921 seasons. But successive 5-4 campaigns and declining attendance had convinced owner Frank McNeil that it was time to get out of the football business. McNeil sold the franchise to a group led by local businessman Warren D. Patterson and Tommy Hughitt, the team’s player/coach, for $50,000. The new ownership changed the name of the team to Bisons, and committed themselves signing big name players in an effort to improve performance both on the field and at the box office. The biggest transaction of the off-season was the signing of “the Purple Streak,” former Williams College star quarterback Benny Lee Boynton. Boynton, a multiple All America selection at Williams, began his pro career with the Rochester Jeffersons in 1921. His signing with the Bisons in 1924 gave the Buffalo team its first legitimate star since Elmer Oliphant donned an orange and black sweater three years earlier. Born Benjamin Lee Boynton on December 6, 1898 in Waco, Texas, to Charles and Laura Boynton, Ben Lee learned his love of football at an early age. He entered Waco High School in 1912, and the next year began a string of three consecutive seasons and Waco’s starting quarterback.

  • Chapter Eight

    Chapter Eight

    CHAPTER EIGHT PRO FOOTBALL’S EARLY YEARS Then all of a sudden this team was playing to 6,000–8,000 people. I personally think that the Oorang Indians, the Canton Bulldogs, and the Massillon Tigers were three teams that probably introduced people to pro football. — Robert Whitman. Professional football got its start long after pro baseball, and for many years was largely ignored by the general public. Prior to 1915, when Jim Thorpe signed with the Canton Bulldogs, there was little money in the game. The players earned less than was paid, under the table, to some allegedly amateur players on success- ful college teams. Jim Thorpe, 1920s jim thorpe association Things changed when Thorpe entered the pro game. Jack Cusack, the manager of the Canton Bulldogs, recalled: “I hit the jackpot by signing the famous Jim Thorpe … some of my business ‘advisers’ frankly predicted that I was leading the Bulldogs into bankruptcy by paying Jim the enormous sum of $250 a game, but the deal paid off even beyond my greatest expectations. Jim was an attraction as well as a player. Whereas our paid attendance averaged about 1,200 before we took him on, we filled the Massil- lon and Canton parks for the next two games — 6,000 for the first and 8,000 for the second. All the fans wanted to see the big Indian in action. On the field, Jim was a fierce competitor, absolutely fearless. Off the field, he was a lovable fellow, big-hearted and with a good sense of humor.” Unlike Thorpe’s experience in professional baseball, he was fully utilized on the gridiron as a running back, kicker, and fierce defensive player.

  • The Oorang Indians

    The Oorang Indians

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 1 (1981) THE OORANG INDIANS By Bob Braunwart, Bob Carroll & Joe Horrigan GOING TO THE DOGS "Let me tell you about my big publicity stunt," wrote Walter Lingo, owner and operator of the Oorang Kennels in a 1923 edition of Oorang Comments, his monthly magazine devoted to singing the praises of himself and his Airedales. "You know Jim Thorpe, don't you, the Sac and Fox Indian, the world's greatest athlete, who won the all-around championship at the Olympic Games in Sweden in 1912? Well, Thorpe is in our organization." Lingo went on to explain that he had placed Thorpe in charge of an all-Indian football team that toured the country's leading cities for the express purpose of advertising Oorang Airedales. As far as Lingo was concerned, that was the only thing that really mattered -- how good Thorpe and company made his dogs look. Football was a game he never really cared for very much. Ironically, Lingo's "stunt" produced the most colorful collection of athletes ever to step onto an NFL gridiron. In American sports lore, there never was, and surely never will be again, anything like the Oorangs, the first, the last, and the only all-Indian team ever to play in a major professional sports league. Although Thorpe was given three full pages in Oorang Comments, very little was said about the performance of his team. It was just as well; they weren't very good, despite the presence of two future Hall of Famers and several other former All-Americans in their lineup.

    1926 Buffalo Rangers Ken Crippen

    1926 Buffalo Rangers Ken Crippen 1926 BUFFALO RANGERS By Ken Crippen After a dismal 1-6-2 season in 1925, Buffalo needed to make a change with their pro football team. Jim Kendrick was hired to replace Wally Koppisch as manager. Kendrick, a former Texas A&M player who played seven games for the Buffalo Bisons in 1925, planned to put together an all-Texas team. This team was sometimes called the “Texas” Rangers or “Cowboys,” but they represented the Queen City in the National Football League (NFL). Made up of “Southwestern products,” Kendrick believed that if the players had no outside interests or anything to divert their minds from playing football, they would play better. The player’s families would remain in the southern states, while they were alone in Buffalo. This was an experiment for the new manager and the season would determine if his theory was correct. Professional football had gained popularity since the NFL was formed. The 1926 season saw the emergence of a rival to the NFL: the first incarnation of the American Football League (AFL). Illinois gridiron legend Red Grange and sports agent Charles C. “C.C.” Pyle – sometimes referred to as “Cash-and-Carry” Pyle – started the league after NFL President Joe Carr refused the pair a franchise in New York City. The league only lasted one season, but it was the first competition for the relatively new NFL. While they were waiting for their new home in Bison Stadium to be ready for football, the Rangers practiced at Grover Cleveland Park on Bailey Avenue.

    NFL Hall of Fame, 50Th Anniversary by CHUCK SUCH Behind the Scenes…A Determined Force

    NFL Hall of Fame, 50th Anniversary By CHUCK SUCH Behind the Scenes…a determined force We changed the face of Canton beyond expectations. It was a humble beginning compared to today, but historically significant. Meanwhile, the television industry orbited taking the NFL, Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame with it. What a ride for 50 unimaginable years! Not to be brushed aside are those years when the onetime cradle of pro football was dusted off and became part of the sports world again. Behind the scenes, those with a Midas touch set some lofty goals far above the pedestrian knowledge in the community. It all started with a Dec. 6, 1959 story in The Repository, which drew wide and immediate reaction under its 8-column headline, “Pro Football Needs a Hall of Fame, and Logical Site Is Here.” We’ll take you on a trip behind the scenes from the embryo to the diaper stages of the establishment of what today is the crown jewel of the sports world, and Canton in particular. At dawn on a Monday morning, after the Sunday story appeared, the phone rang at the Repository sports desk and the voice identified itself as Henry Timken, Chairman of the Timken Roller Bearing Co. “Chuck, I read your (Sunday) story and I would like to discuss it with you today either at your office or mine,” Timken said. “I’m busy putting out today’s edition but will be free at 11:30,” I replied as we agreed on the Timken office as a meeting place.
