  • Football Hall Selects Another Marine
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 5 (2000) Football Hall selects another Marine By John Gunn Camp Lejeune Globe/ 5-5 On the football field, he was a hawk, not a dove. As a result, former Marine Bob Dove of Notre Dame and NFL fame was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. He is at least the 45th former Marine so honored. The hall's Honor Committee, which reviews accomplishments of players of more than 50 years ago, selected Dove, a three-year starter at end for the Fighting Irish from 1940-42, a two-time All-American and winner of the Knute Rockne Trophy in 1942. "It had been over 50 years. I almost forgot about it," Dove said. (Similar efforts have been unsuccessful to honor back George Franck, a Minnesota All-American who was third in the 1940 Heisman Trophy voting and a Marine aviator in the South Pacific during WW II.) THIRTEEN OTHER PLAYERS and two coaches whose selections were announced April 25 at a South Bend, Ind., news conference will be inducted into the hall at a Dec. 12 banquet in New York and formally enshrined at South Bend in August 2001. Dove, who played nine seasons with the Chicago Rockets, Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions, also starred for the El Toro Flying Marines in 1944 and '45 -- the "Boys of Autumn" and strongest Leatherneck teams ever fielded. The '44 team won eight, lost one and was ranked 16th in The Associated Press poll even though the base was barely a year and a half old.

Biggest factors in the rosy outlook, according to Bolstad, are experience and balance. The Gophers top four men, Gene Hansen, Capt. Carson Herron, Rolf Deming, and Jim Pfleider are extremely well matched, and Bolstad says he can't chose between them as to excellence. The other members of the squad's top six are Harry Newby and Les Peterson. Bolstad hopes his squad will continue the great improvement demonstrated last year when the Gophers catapulted from ninth to fourth place and almost finished second.

  • Fighting Illini Football History
    HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, Zuppke’s men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov.
