  • (2005) Wallace “Wally” Triplett
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 4 (2005) Wallace “Wally” Triplett: Struggling for Success in the Postwar NFL By Jim Sargent In the nineteenth round of the National Football League’s annual draft in 1949, the Detroit Lions selected Wallace (Wally) Triplett, a “triple threat” all-around halfback at Penn State University. But Lions coach and general manager Alvin “Bo” McMillin could not be sure his number 19 choice would accept, since no African American player had yet signed as an NFL draft choice. Triplett changed that perception. Not only did the Pennsylvania native have the personality, character, and mindset to defy the odds in pro football, then considered a white man’s game, he also possessed the skills, speed, and toughness necessary to carry the ball and block on offense, defend against the run and the pass, and return kickoffs and punts. Although he played only four seasons in the NFL, Triplett earned a place in the league’s history. First, when the Lions selected him, Wally became the first African-American to accept the NFL’s draft. Several other black players preceded him in pro football, including end Bob Mann and halfback Mel Groomes, both of whom played for Detroit in 1948. Second, the speedy Triplett, a great scatback, excelled at football. Given an opening, he could sprint down the field. His finest hour came on October 29, 1950, when he set an NFL record (which lasted 44 years) by returning four kickoffs for 294 yards and one touchdown as the Rams ripped the Lions, 65-24, at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

    APBA FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST Volume 3 The following players comprise volume 3 of APBA's Great Football Teams of the Past ("GTOP") 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. Names in bold are starters. 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.

  • The Chris Crew
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 3 (1986) THE CHRIS CREW By Stan Grosshandler One of the first of the glamorously named defensive units was the Detroit Lions' "Chris Crew" of the 1950s. From 1951 through 1958 this group was instrumental in winning three league and four divisional titles. "We were not ahead of our time in the mechanism of defense," stated Hall of Famer Jack Christiansen, the man for whom the crew was named. It was a mere matter of personnel. Detroit was the first club to put their best players on defense. Prior to that, most teams used offensive rejects on defense. We got the best players available amd placed them on the defensive unit. I am certain many could have been fine offensive players if placed on that unit." In Jack's rookie season (1951), he set a record by twice taking two punts back for TD's. He went 69 and 47 yards against the Rams and on Thanksgiving Day hit the Packers with 71 and 89 yard returns. "My first season," Jack recalled, "we had Don Doll at left safety, Jim Smith right half, Clarence Self and Dorne Dibble, an offensive end, at right half, and I played the right safety. We used either the Eagle Seven man line or the Giant Umbrella defenses. In 1953 Chris moved to left safety, the position he was to earn Hall of Fame honors at. "I played left safety the rest of my career and ran back both punts and kickoff. I usually covered the tight end as we played man-to-man about 80%.

  • PFRA-Ternizing
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 6 (2006) PFRA-ternizing From Bob Gill: With help from Tod Maher, I've recently finished a book called "Outsiders: Minor League and Independent Football, 1923-1950," published by St. Johann Press. This is a companion book to "Minor League Football, 1980-1985," which McFarland published four years ago. Between them, these books contain a pretty thorough account of all of the top minor leagues and independent teams that have ever existed, and quite a few others a notch or two below that. The new book contains the basic information (aside from the individual game statistics) from a half-dozen PFRA books I did a while back: "Best in the West" (PCFL 1940-48), "A Minor Masterpiece," Vols. I and II (American Association 1936-41, AFL 1946-50), "The Outsiders" (AFLs of 1936-41, with Tad Maher), "Southern Exposure" (Dixie League, 1936-46) and "Down in the Valley" (Ohio Valley League, 1925-29). It's presented differently, though: Rather than yearly rosters for each team, this book has a player register so you can trace the careers of individual players or look up one guy you're interested in, which was basically impossible before. (Coaches get a register of their own.) There are hundreds of new bits of information about the players -- we've added heights, colleges, birthdates, whatever, though it's still far from complete and always will be. Game scores are included for the top teams, in basically the same form as in the PFRA books. And there's a section listing regular starters for all the top teams by year, which is something new.
