Schlesinger Says Arabs Take Risk with Embargo WASHINGTON (AP)--Secretary of Defense James R Schlesinger says Arabs take risk with embargo WASHINGTON (AP)--Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger says Arab nations risk increasing U.S. public demand for force against them if they carry their oil embargo too far. "I think that that is a risk," Schlesinger said. However, the defense chief said he does not believe it will come to that because the oil-producing states have already indicated an easing of pressure by increasing the flow to some Europeant countries and Japan. "We should recognize the independent powers of sovereign states should not be used in such a way as would cripple the larger mass of the indus- trialized world," Schlesinger said in-an interview recorded for broad- cast on public television stations tonight. "That is running too high a risk and it is a source of danger, I think, not only from our standpoint, but from the standpoint of the oil-producing nations." At the same time, Schlesinger said, "The alleviation of'pressure" represented by a 10 per cent increase in oil output announced last month "is an indication that the oil-producing states recognize their common interests with the industrialized world." Although the Arabs did not-reopen the oil tap to the United States, Schlesinger is knownito feel that responsible leaders in the Arab pro- ducing states already recognize the embargo against this country has reached the point of diminishing returns from a political standpoint. Associates say he is optimistic the embargo will be relaxed or ended, although he is uncertain how soon. In one way, Schlesinger viewed the Middle East crisis as benefiting the U.S. military establishment by restoring some of the standing it lost with the American public as a result of the Vietnam War. "The entire evolution of the Middle Eastern conflict his been in the SECRETARY OF DEFENSE SCHLESINGER direction of making people appreciate more the reasons for which the United .predicts relax in embargo States maintains a defense establishment," he said.

  • Kapp-Ing a Memorable Campaign
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol 19, No. 1 (1997) Kapp-ing A Memorable Campaign `Injun' Joe Kapp spirited the '69 Vikings to an NFL championship By Ed Gruver He was called "Injun" Joe, despite the fact his heritage was a mix of Mexican and German blood, and he quarterbacked an NFL championship team, despite owning a passing arm that produced more wounded ducks than his hunter-head coach, Bud Grant, who spent pre-dawn hours squatting with a rifle in a Minneapolis duck blind. But in 1969, a season that remains memorable in the minds of Minnesota football fans, "Injun" Joe Kapp blazed a trail through the National Football League and bonded the Vikings into a formidable league champion, a family of men whose slogan, "Forty for Sixty," was testament to their togetherness. "I liked Joe," Grant said once. "Everybody liked Joe, he's a likeable guy. In this business, you play the people who get the job done, and Joe did that." John Beasley, who played tight end on the Vikings' '69 team, called Kapp "a piece of work...big and loud and fearless." Even the Viking defense rallied behind Kapp, an occurrence not so common on NFL teams, where offensive and defensive players are sometimes at odds with another. Witness the New York Giants teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s, where middle linebacker Sam Huff would tell halfback Frank Gifford, "Hold 'em Frank, and we'll score for you." No such situation occurred on the '69 Vikings, a fact made clear by Minnesota safety Dale Hackbart. "Playing with Kapp was like playing in the sandlot," Hackbart said.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro 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. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • Jim Finks: Builder
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 4 (1995) JIM FINKS: BUILDER By Don Smith The 45-year career of Jim Finks found him at one time or another doing almost everything imaginable in professional football. While Finks was associated briefly with professional baseball, his working career centered around the National Football League, first as a player with the Pittsburgh Steelers and later as a highly-regarded executive for the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. During that long tenure, Finks developed the reputation of a shrewd operator who specialized in turning struggling National Football League franchises into either Super Bowl champions or consistent contenders. Equally impressive was that each of his three teams continued to thrive with players Finks had acquired long after he had departed. As one executive remarked six months after Finks left Minnesota: "He has us so well organized. We carry on as though he were still here." Finks also gained widespread praise for his contributions on the NFL player management competition committees. When the NFL sought a new comissioner to replace Pete Rozelle in 1989, Finks was the leading candidate who just missed getting the necessary number of votes for election. His ultimate recognition, election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, came posthumously this year for Finks, who died of lung cancer on May 8, 1994. A Steeler First Although Finks became a Hall of Famer because of his off-the- field activities in pro football, he was a fine player during his seven-year stint from 1949 to 1955 with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  • Carl Eller: Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2004
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No 3 (2004) Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2004 Carl Eller In 1964, Carl Eller, a consensus All-America with the University of Minnesota, was a first-round draft pick of both the National Football League’s Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills of the then-rival American Football League. A 6-6, 247-pound defensive stalwart, Eller opted to stay in a familiar environment and signed with the Vikings. For the next 15 years through 1978, he was a fixture in one of pro footballs most effective defensive alignments. He finished his career with one final season with the Seattle Seahawks in 1979, having played in 225 regular season games. During Eller’s career, the Vikings enjoyed great success on the field. Starting in 1968, Eller’s fifth campaign, Minnesota won 10 NFL/NFC Central Division titles in the next 11 seasons. The Vikings won the 1969 NFL championship and NFC crowns in 1973, 1974, and 1976 and played in four Super Bowls. A major factor in this long string of successes was a ferocious defensive line often referred to as “The Purple People Eaters.” Eller was the left end of a line that included Jim Marshall at the opposite end and Hall of Famer Alan Page and Gary Larsen at the tackles. Extremely quick and mobile for his size, Carl was an excellent defender against the run and superb as a pass rusher. In one three-string season from 1975 to 1977, he recorded 44 sacks, according to unofficial statistics (sacks did not become an official NFL statistic until 1982).

  • PAUL KRAUSE Feature
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 24, No. 1 (2002) PAUL KRAUSE By Michael Richman When Redskins’ history buffs recall the 1964 season, they are likely to remember a thrilling, high-octane offense led by quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, running back Charley Taylor and flanker Bobby Mitchell. The defense wasn’t the team’s focal point, although it featured a future Pro Bowler, linebacker Sam Huff, and a promising rookie. That player, free safety Paul Krause, intercepted a league-high 12 passes and was named to the Pro Bowl. He earned Pro Bowl honors again in 1965. But Krause was gone after the 1967 season. The Redskins traded him to the Minnesota Vikings for linebacker Marlin McKeever and a seventh-round draft choice. It goes down as arguably the worst trade in Redskins’ history. Playing for Minnesota, Krause was selected to six more Pro Bowls. He finished his 16-year career as the NFL’s all-time leader in interceptions with 81, a record that still stands. Overall, he made the All-NFL team four teams and was All-NFC five times. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. Why was he traded? Apparently, Redskins’ defensive backfield coach Ed Hughes didn’t think much of Krause’s playing ability and persuaded coach Otto Graham to trade him to Minnesota. At the time, Krause, who had amassed 28 interceptions in four seasons, was bitter about the deal. “I didn’t care for Otto Graham,” he said in July at the Bobby Mitchell charity golf tournament in Lansdowne, Va. “Graham listened to one of his defensive coaches who didn’t know what he was doing.

  • Fearsome 4Some, Purple People Eaters, Steel Curtain by Mike
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 4 (1993) THREE GREAT LINES by Mike Gershman, Football Datebook 1988 THE FEARSOME FOURSOME "They remind me of Dempsey, Firpo, Ruth, and Gehrig." --Norm Van Brocklin Rams publicist Jack Teele gave them their name, but the Fearsome Foursome did the rest themselves. They made up signals, invented moves like stunting and looping, coined the term "sack," and made defense a focal point of football. From left to right, they were 85 - end David (Deacon) Jones; 74 - tackle Merlin Olsen; 76 - tackle Roosevelt Grier; and, 75 - end Lamar Lundy. Lundy, who joined the Rams in 1957, was the senior member, an honor student from Purdue. Next came David Jones of Eatonville, Florida who played at South Carolina State and Mississippi Vocational. He once said, "I was a poor black boy in a poor black place ond no one was beating down any doors to get to me." That changed when Ram scouts saw film of him catching an offensive back from behind. The Rams' fourteenth-round draft choice in 1961, Jones was winning his spurs when Merlin Olsen was named a consensus All-America tackle at Utah State. Two years later, Olsen, Jones, and Lundy became a foursome when the Rams traded John Lovetere to the Giants for Roosevelt Grier. But Jones was the star, the man Ram fans called the "Secretary of Defense." An all-pro from 1965 to 1969, he won the George Halas Trophy as the league's best defensive player in l967 and 1969 and finished second in 1967 and 1969 in voting for UPI's NFL player of the year award.
