The AMERICAN LEGION Monthly Erin Go Bragh by Peter B MARCH 1936 25 CENTS LEGIONT THE NEW FORD V'8 FOR i 93 6 Everything about the New Ford V-8 for 1936 reflects high quality and modern design. It is thor- oughly up-to-date in line and appointment. Its 8-cylinder performance makes you doubly certain you are driving a thoroughly fine car. For the Ford V-type engine is brother-under-the-hood to the world's finest power plants —on land, on water, and in the air. It gives you something dis- tinctly better in power, acceleration, smoothness and all-round motoring satisfaction. There are many other important, distinctive features of the Ford V-8, especially its ease of control, safety, comfort and roominess. The genuine steel bodies are electrically welded. All fifteen body types have Safety Glass throughout at no additional cost. The big, powerful Super-Safety Brakes are sure and dependable under all driving conditions. ... It is a great all-round value — this New Ford V-8 for 1936. The car that led all others in 1935 has been made still better for the new year. ! ; — When Doctors "Feel Rotten" -This Is What They Do!

  • The Steam Roller
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 3 (1980) THE STEAM ROLLER by John Hogrogian The state of Rhode Island sits squarely in the shadow of Boston as far as major-league professional sports is concerned. Ocean State residents generally take a rooting interest in the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins. But more than half a century ago, in 1928, Rhode Island had its own National Football League champions, the Providence Steam Roller. The story of that team is the story of an era of professional football much different from that of today. In the Roaring Twenties, the American public found a host of popular heroes in its sporting greats. Standing with Charles Lindbergh on the pedestal of unalloyed admiration were such men as baseball player Babe Ruth, boxer Jack Dempsey, and tennis player Bill Tilden. College football players also shared in this adulation, with Red Grange of Illinois, Ernie Nevers of Stanford, and the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame national figures because of their gridiron exploits. College football was an immensely popular spectator sport, with teams such as Notre Dame, Stanford, Yale, and Dartmouth drawing huge followings both in person and through the newspapers and newsreels. Professional football, in stark contrast, was struggling to survive, a neglected stepchild in the sports boom. The National Football League was entering only its ninth season in the fall of 1928, and instead of roaring crowds in huge metropolitan stadia, small, intimate audiences in mostly smaller fields viewed the league's contests. Pro football held the same place in 1928 that pro track and field holds today, a fledgling professional sport living in the shadow of a popular collegiate version.

  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities WAR SEASONS: GLENN KILLINGER, SERVICE FOOTBALL, AND THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN HERO IN POSTWAR AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation in American Studies by Todd M. Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

  • Struggling to Stay in the Black a Close Look at the Profit and Loss Sheets for a 1927 Team
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 5 (1993) Struggling to Stay in the Black A Close Look at the Profit and Loss Sheets for a 1927 Team By Bob GIll (The information for this story came from a Providence Steam Roller cash book for 1927 donated to the Pro Football Hall of Fame by Raymond Monaco of North Providence, R.I. Monaco played with the Washington Redskins, the Cleveland Rams and the Steam Roller.) * * * * * * * * * * A few issues back, we took a detailed look at the 1940 financial story of the Providence Steam Roller, a minor league team in the American Football Association – and managed by none other than PFRA’s own Pearce Johnson (“Balancing Dollars and Sense,” Vol. XIII, No. 5). This time we’ll take a similar, though somewhat less detailed, look at another Providence season ledger, this one for 1927, one of the Steam Roller’s seasons in the NFL. In fact, as you may recall, this was one year before Providence captured the NFL championship. Coming off a 5-7-1 season in 1926, the Steam Roller had a new coach and a new star in 1927. The coach was Jimmy Conzelman, who also played as a blocking back and caught at least 34 passes, a very high total for the time. The star was tailback George “Wildcat” Wilson, an All-American from the University of Washington. He signed with Providence after spending the previous season with Los Angeles in the short-lived AFL – the Red Grange league, as it’s often called. Conzelman and Wilson were the highest-paid members of the team; each got $500 per game.

An unpolished masterpiece. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of professional wrestling.By DaClydeEasily the definitive work on Ed Lewis, and the heavyweight title picture of his era. Ed Lewis occupied that enormously important era of wrestling history between the Gotch era and the Thesz era, when the sport went from the slower, "realistic" Greco-Roman and catch-as-catch-can styles to the flashier, strictly performance-based style that we have today. Lewis and Co. help build the sport back up after the Gotch/Hackenschmidt fiasco, and along the way effectively commit a few similar travesties of their own, killing various towns over the years, but always steadily moving the sport forward. An impressive amount of research went into this work, by a murderer's row of pro wrestling historians and beaten into shape by the inimitable Steve Yohe.The photos are wonderful, and the work is thoroughly cited with an enormous number of end notes used.

  • All-Pros of 1926
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 6 (1983) 1926 All Pros by John Hogrogian This article will be short because my search for 1926 All Pro teams came up short on quantity. Fortunately, it came up long on quality. The only two teams I dug up each had items of special interest. For those who have forgotten, 1926 was the year in which two major football leagues competed for the recreational dollar and media attention. The National Football League was in its seventh season and was just getting used to having East Coast teams in addition to the traditional Midwestern crew. The American Football League had just sprung into being around the magnetic popularity of Red Grange. The New York Yankees served as Grange's vehicle for his first full pro season, hoping for some of the wealth he'd generated in his late 1925 tours with the Chicago Bears. The first All Pro team I encountered excluded the AFL. The annual poll of writers and team officials from NFL cities confined its attention to the senior league.

  • All-Pros of 1927
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 12 (1982) ALL-PROS OF 1927 by John Hogrogian I love all those old tales about the NFL organizational meeting in Canton, with everyone sitting on Hupmobile running boards, drinking buckets of beer, and creating big league pro football. I also respect the accomplishments of the 1933 NFL meetings, when the league fathers adopted divisional play and made rule changes which boosted offense to a new level. In my mind, though, the 1927 league meetings rank with these legends for massive significance. With a vision of a different sort of league, the NFL powers pressured the small fry such as Canton and Akron out of the circuit. The NFL went from a 22 team behemoth to a tight 12 team outfit. With a reduced number of teams, interested observers could see most of the league's players without spending a fortune on train fare. Some of these experts picked All-Pro teams at the end of the season. One group of 18 experts participated in the annual All-Pro poll which appeared in the Green Bay Press Gazette. The voters included sports writers, game officials, and team managers. first team second team E- Lavern Dilweg, G.B. E- Ed Lynch, Prov. E- Cal Hubbard, Giants E- George Kenneally, Potts.
