    APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA Football Player 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. 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 compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 8 (1983)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 8 (1983) STOPPING THE FORCE by Bob Braunwart & Bob Carroll In a classic case of immovable object and irresistible force, the Chicago Bears and New York Giants met on December 29, 1963, for the NFL championship. The Bears, keyed by linebackers Bill George, Larry Morris, and Joe Fortunato, had held opponents to 144 points during the season -- the lowest total since 1950 when teams played only twelve games. All year the defense told quarterback Billy Wade: "Get us eleven points and we'll win." The Bruins' average of just over ten points surrendered per game hadn't been bettered since World War II and was the main factor in their 11-1-2 record. Although the Giants' defense of Robustelli, Huff, and Paton had been famous for years, in 1963 they had done it with offense -- riding the air arm of Y.A. Title and the receiving of Del Shofner, Frank Gifford, and Joe Morrison to 440 points. Yat had thrown a record 36 touchdown passes in leading New York to a 11- 3-0 mark. A crowd of 45,801 packed Wrigley Field in eleven degree temperature and millions more watched in comfort at home on television. The Giants were slight favorites at kickoff. The New Yorkers showed they deserved the compliment by moving straight down the field to a touch down the first time they got the ball. Wade, the Bears' veteran quarterback, fumbled at his own 41 and Erich Barnes recovered for the Giants. Tittle mixed running plays with an 11-yard toss to Morrison to get to the 16.
