  • 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.

  • NFL 1926 in Theory & Practice
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 3 (2002) One division, no playoffs, no championship game. Was there ANY organization to pro football before 1933? Forget the official history for a moment, put on your leather thinking cap, and consider the possibilities of NFL 1926 in Theory and Practice By Mark L. Ford 1926 and 2001 The year 1926 makes an interesting study. For one thing, it was 75 years earlier than the just completed season. More importantly, 1926, like 2001, saw thirty-one pro football teams in competition. The NFL had a record 22 clubs, and Red Grange’s manager had organized the new 9 team American Football League. Besides the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and New York Giants, and the Cardinals (who would not move from Chicago until 1959), there were other team names that would be familiar today – Buccaneers (Los Angeles), Lions (Brooklyn), Cowboys (Kansas City) and Panthers (Detroit). The AFL created rivals in major cities, with American League Yankees to match the National League Giants, a pre-NBA Chicago Bulls to match the Bears, Philadelphia Quakers against the Philly-suburb Frankford Yellowjackets, a Brooklyn rival formed around the two of the Four Horsemen turned pro, and another “Los Angeles” team. The official summary of 1926 might look chaotic and unorganized – 22 teams grouped in one division in a hodgepodge of large cities and small towns, and is summarized as “Frankford, Chicago Bears, Pottsville, Kansas City, Green Bay, Los Angeles, New York, Duluth, Buffalo, Chicago Cardinals, Providence, Detroit, Hartford, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, Akron, Dayton, Racine, Columbus, Canton, Hammond, Louisville”.

  • The Perfect Tackle: the Career of Hall of Famer Pete Henry
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 5 (2005) The Perfect Tackle: The Career of Hall of Famer Pete Henry By Chris Willis “Tackles will come and tackles will go, but never will professional football enthusiasts of Canton (Ohio) ever see the peer of Wilbur Henry, 247-pounder, resident of Mansfield, graduate of Washington-Jefferson College at Washington, Pa., and a member of Canton Bulldogs teams for the last three campaigns in which he has played every game. Though he never would be able to qualify as a matinee idol, the Richland-co. individual stands out as the greatest tackle in football today- bar none, as the prohibitionists say.”-- Canton Repository, 1922. In the early years of the National Football League, most newspaper headlines- if they wrote about the NFL- were usually reserved for the exploits of fleet-footed halfbacks or bruising fullbacks scoring touchdowns. But in Canton, Ohio where the Canton Bulldogs were kings, the headlines seemed to be written about a very popular and highly gifted tackle, who was nicknamed “Fats,” who might’ve been the most talented player in the NFL. Wilbur Francis Henry was born on October 31, 1897 in the small town of Mansfield, Ohio, as the only child to Ulysses and Bertha Henry. While growing up the name Wilbur didn’t stick for very long and the Ohio kid was simply called “Pete,” the name he was called for the rest of his life. Pete gained a big appetite for food while living on the family farm and the rotund boy would use his size to become a great athlete.

  • 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.
