Millikin in the Pros
Millikin in the Pros Twenty-six former Millikin University players have enjoyed professional football careers in the NFL, CFL, European and Areana football leagues. Eight of them played in the Chicago Bears organization, including six on the 1920 Staley team that was the forerunner of the present Bears franchise. Enjoying the most distinguished professional careers of the former Big Blue were Pro Football Hall of Famer George Musso and Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Virgil Wagner. Musso, a 1982 Hall of Fame inductee, played 12 seasons with the Bears (1933-44) and earned All-Pro honors at tackle and guard–the first player to be recognized at two positions. He served as Chicago's captain when the Bears were known as the "Monsters of the Midway." Wagner, who played halfback and cornerback, was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 1980 following a nine-year career (1946-54) with the Montreal Alouettes. He led the CFL in scoring his first four seasons, scored a league-record 79 career touchdowns and was a five-time all-league selection. The most recent NFL signee is Michael Marker, a wide receiver who graduated in 2003. Marker, signed with the Green Bay Packers in December 2004. Eric Smith, a 1997 graduate and two-time CCIW selection at tight end, signed a two-year free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers in May 1998. Recent players Chris Katzmark, Ryan Bailey, Donnell Brown, Mike Kohl and Joe Hyland are playing or have played in European leagues. Katzmark (WR, 2007 graduate) and Bailey (DL, 2008 graduate), signed contracts with Finland's Kouvola Indians in 2008. -
Mini Bio: Sonny Jurgensen
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 4 (1991) Mini Bio: Sonny Jurgensen At Duke University, quarterback Jurgensen ran a run-oriented offense, and, in his first four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles (1957-60), he was a seldom-used backup. But, in 1961 when Norm Van Brocklin retired, Sonny suddenly emerged to prove himself a superb passer and team leader. In 1964, after three seasons as the Eagles' quarterback, the 6-0, 203-pound Jurgensen was traded to Washington and spent eleven seasons as a Redskin. In spite of numerous injuries, he compiled an exceptional passing record. His career totals: 2,433 completions, 32,224 yards, 255 touchdowns, and an 82.6 passer rating according to the NFL's formula. He won three NFL individual passing titles. In five seasons, he surpassed 3,000 yards gained. He had 25 300-yard games and five of more than 400. Jurgensen was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983. Mini Bio: Bobby Mitchell Mitchell switched positions in mid-career, going from a very good player to a great player in the process. Drafted by Cleveland out of the University of Illinois, he paired at halfback with the great Jim Brown to give the Browns a dynamic one-two punch. Blessed with exceptional speed, balance and faking ability, he reeled off numerous long runs. The Browns, however, decided to look for a back bigger than the 6-0, 195-pound Mitchell and traded him to Washington in 1962 for the rights to Syracuse All- America Ernie Davis. The Redskins moved him to flanker and Mitchell immediately led the NFL in pass receptions. -

The Pioneers
Gridiron Glory: Footballs Greatest Legends and Moments is the most extensive and comprehensive exhibit featuring America’smost popular sport ever to tour. Many of the objects included in the exhibition have never been outside the walls of their home, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The artifacts are representative of the great moments, great players and coaches and milestone moments of the sport over the last 100-plus years. Below is a partial list of the rare and historically significant artifacts that will be presented in Gridiron Glory: Footballs Greatest Legends and Moments. The Pioneers This section looks at the early days of the sport when a very unorganized, rough and tumble game was played in empty lots and other makeshift venues. It captures the moment when the NFL was born, when the rules of the game were created anew on every field and when one player of staggering ability, Red Grange, “barnstormed” across America to drum up fan support for a sport in its infancy. Artifacts featured include: 1892 Allegany Athletic Association accounting ledger – Pro Football’sBirth Certificate This accounting ledger sheet from the 1892 Allegheny Athletic Association documents football’s first case of professionalism. “Pro Football’sBirth Certificate” has never before been displayed outside the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jim Thorpe’sCanton bulldogs Sideline Blanket In 1915 the Canton Bulldogs signed Jim Thorpe to a $250 per game contract. Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, was an exceptional talent and major gate attraction. His outstanding talent enabled Canton to lay claim to unofficial world championships in 1916, 1917 and 1919. -

THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 6 (1997) PASS THAT DRUMSTICK! GO, LIONS! By Bob Carroll When the Lions’ Barry Sanders ran for 167 yards on Thanksgiving Day to move past Eric Dickerson and into second place in the NFL’s all-time rushing list, he and his mates set a Chicago Bears’ record -- the most points ever given up in a game by the Bruins. The come-from-behind, 55-20, Detroit victory could be looked upon as payback for the heartbreak of 1934. Or maybe the shock of 1980. Detroit’s annual Thanksgiving Day bash goes way back -- all the way to 1934, the first year the transplanted Portsmouth Spartans played as the Lions in the Motor City. After a five-year run, the club took Turkey Day off until World War II was over. It’s been going strong ever since. Getting Started Pro football teams had flopped in Detroit in 1920, 1921, 1925-26, and 1928. As far as Detroiters were concerned, professional sports meant the Detroit Tigers baseball team. Even though the Tigers were not a very good team in the ‘20s, they were still a bigger hit (to use a baseball reference) than any of the pro football wannabees. Even the great Benny Friedman, a University of Michigan alumnus and arguably the most exciting pro player of his day, couldn’t make a go of it in Detroit. The Lions, coming to town in 1934, needed something big to supplant the American League champion Tigers on the sports page. A Thanksgiving Day game, with the baseball season long gone, just might make the Lions top dog over the Tigers (to use a menagerie reference) for a week. -

The Season of '41
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 4 (1991) The Season of '41 by Stan Grosshandler On January second Stanford, using the resurrected T- formation, defeated Nebraska in the Rose Bowl illustrating the speed and deceptiveness of this formation. The following day the National Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee initiated unlimited substitution and recommended players be numbered according to their position. On the fourth, a Pro All-Star game was played at the Polo Grounds between the 1940 champion Bears and an All-Star team chosen from the rest of the NFL. The Bears won 35- 24. On January sixth President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed that when the war raging throughout the rest of the world ends all people should be guaranteed four freedoms: speech, worship, from want, and from fear. His new budget has 60% dedicated for national defense. In March the monumental Lend-Lease act allowing the U.S. to supply the Allies with much needed materials was passed by Congress. During the April meetings of the NFL Bert Bell and Art Rooney, co-owners of the Philadelphia Eagles announced they were trading franchises with Lex Thompson who had bought the Pittsburgh Pirates from Rooney the previous year. The entire rosters of each team would swap cities with the former Eagles becoming the Steelers and vice- versa.. Next, the league announced that Elmer Layden, coach and A.D. of Notre Dame, was appointed Commissioner. The old fullback of the Four Horseman would have powers equal to those of Baseball Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Landis. Baseball captured, and held tight, the attention of the nation as Joe DiMaggio compiled his incredible batting streak, Ted Williams attempted to become the first man in a decade to bat .400, and the Dodgers and Cardinals put on an exciting race for the National League pennant. -

APBA Great Teams of the Past Football Season Card Set Volume 1 The following players comprise the Great team of the Past Vol. 1 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. 1942 CHICAGO 1950 CLEVELAND 1962 GREEN BAY 1968 BALTIMORE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE Wide Receiver: John Siegel Wide Receiver: Mac Speedie Wide Receiver: Boyd Dowler PA Wide Receiver: Willie Richardson George Wilson Dante Lavelli Max McGee PB Jimmy Orr Hampton Pool Horace Gillom OC PA Gary Barnes Alex Hawkins Connie Mack Berry George Young Tackle: Bob Skoronski Ray Perkins Bob Nowaskey Tackle: Lou Groza KA KOA Forrest Gregg Gail Cogdill Clint Wager Lou Rymkus OC Norm Masters Tackle: Bob Vogel Tackle: Ed Kolman Chubby Gregg KB KOB Guard: Fuzzy Thurston Sam Ball Lee Artoe KB KOB John Sanusky Jerry Kramer KA KOA John Williams Joe Stydahar KB KOB John Kissell Ed Blaine Guard: Glenn Ressler Bill Hempel Guard: Weldon Humble Center: Jim Ringo Dan Sullivan Al Hoptowit Lin
