  • Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 3 (2002) Tony Adamle: Doctor of Defense By Bob Carroll Paul Brown “always wanted his players to better themselves, and he wanted us known for being more than just football players,” Tony Adamle told an Akron Beacon Journal reporter in 1999. In the case of Adamle, the former Cleveland Browns linebacker who passed away on October 8, 2000, at age 76, his post-football career brought him even more honor than captaining a world championship team. Tony was born May 15, 1924, in Fairmont, West Virginia, to parents who had immigrated from Slovenia. By the time he reached high school, his family had moved to Cleveland where he attended Collinwood High. From there, he moved on to Ohio State University where he first played under Brown who became the OSU coach in 1941. World War II interrupted Adamle’s college days along with those of so many others. He joined the U.S. Air Force and served in the Middle East theatre. By the time he returned, Paul Bixler had succeeded Paul Brown, who had moved on to create Cleveland’s team in the new All-America Football Conference. Adamle lettered for the Buckeyes in 1946 and played well enough that he was selected to the 1947 College All-Star Game. He started at fullback on a team that pulled off a rare 16-0 victory over the NFL’s 1946 champions, the Chicago Bears. Six other members of the starting lineup were destined to make a mark in the AAFC, including the game’s stars, quarterback George Ratterman and running back Buddy Young.

  • Mini-Bio: Abe Gibron
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 5 (1994) MINI-BIO: ABE GIBRON By Bob Carroll Round Abe Gibron was an outstanding guard with Cleveland's championship teams of the 1950s. At 5'11" and 250 pounds, he was unusually large and fast for a guard at the time, and is often cited as one of the three or four best at his position during the decade. Though gruff on the field, he was a strong family man, taking pride in his wife and three children. Abe was born September 22, 1925, in Michigan City, IN. After beginning at Valparaiso, he lettered two years at Purdue University. He was the first draft choice of the Buffalo Bills of the All-America Football Conference in a secret draft held on July 8, 1948 -- before his final season at Purdue. The AAFC hoped to get the jump on the rival National Football League in signing college seniors. In the 1949 NFL draft, he was selected on the sixth round by the New York Giants, but he signed with Buffalo and became an immediate starter with the Bills. But, when the AAFC merged with the NFL after the 1949 season, the players from defunct AAFC clubs like Buffalo were thrown into a general pool to be drafted by the remaining NFL teams. The Cleveland Browns had joined the NFL as part of the merger, and Cleveland Coach Paul Brown remembered Gibron "had the fastest and quickest charge I ever saw. He was very spirited and played at 250 pounds." He grabbed Gibron. The roly-poly Gibron became one of the Browns' "messenger guards," linemen who alternated in taking each play called by the coach into the quarterback.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996) 1948 AAFC CHAMPIONSHIP: PERFECT ENDING The Cleveland Browns completed a perfect, all-winning season with a 49-7 thrashing of the Buffalo Bills before a disappointing, but hardly disappointed, crowd of 22,981 at Municipal Stadium. The Browns thus became the first professional football team in a major league to win every game of the regular season and then continue victorious through the championship game. In both 1934 and 1942, the Chicago Bears completed undefeated, untied NFL seasons only to lose in the championship game. The rout of the Bills, who only broke even during their regular season and needed a playoff win over Baltimore to advance to the finale, was fully expected. That anticipation no doubt held down the crowd. Buffalo's porous defense was expected to be easily solved by the Browns, but the few Bills' rooters in the stands hoped that the invaders' high-powered offense might give the Clevelanders some trouble. Instead, Cleveland held the Bills to under 170 yards from scrimmage while taking advantage of numerous Buffalo mistakes. The first half was played on comparatively even terms, but Cleveland scored once in each quarter. First, Edgar Jones went three yards to a touchdown with only ten seconds left in the opening quarter. Early in the second quarter, Browns end George Young returned Rex Bumgardner's fumble 18 yards for Cleveland's second touchdown. The second half was all Browns. Barely two minutes into the session, Otto Graham passed nine yards to Edgar Jones to make the score 21-0.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 1 (2002) JIM RAY SMITH
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 1 (2002) JIM RAY SMITH By Andy Piascik Among the traditions of the Cleveland Browns is one of great offensive linemen. This is not surprising for a franchise that has 4 running backs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame; the two go together. Among the great blockers who were integral parts of the Cleveland offense during their championship years of the 1940's, 50's and 60's are Frank Gatski, Lou Groza, Abe Gibron, Mike McCormack, Gene Hickerson, and Dick Schafrath. Each made all-pro and all were regular selections for the Pro Bowl. Gatski, Groza, and McCormack are in the Hall of Fame while Hickerson is considered by many to be the best offensive lineman not in the Hall of Fame. But perhaps the best of all of the Cleveland linemen was guard Jim Ray Smith. A four sports star in high school, Smith was a two-time All-American tackle at Baylor in 1954 and 1955. He was selected as a future in the seventh round by the Browns in the 1954 draft but did not join the team until halfway through the 1956 season because of a hitch in the army. During that season, Smith played as a 220 pound defensive end. The following year, Paul Brown switched him to offense and he became one of the team’s messenger guards. A track star in high school, Smith routinely finished in a dead heat with Ray Renfro behind only Bobby Mitchell and Jim Brown in sprints during Cleveland practices.
