  • The President's Corner
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. XVII (1996) THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER By Jack Clary Continuing with some memories of outstanding pro footballers who passed away last year: In 1946 Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes were the principles in the only severe gambling incident ever to affect an NFL championship game. Filchock was the Giants best offensive performer and Hapes backed up No. 2 rusher Bill Paschal (and Jim Lee Howell was one of their teammates). They helped the Giants to win the 1946 Eastern Division title, and were set to play the Chicago Bears for the title at the Polo Grounds. Frank Filchock: He was from the University of Indiana, and had backed up Sammy Baugh for many seasons at Washington. He was a happy-go-lucky, sometimes unpredictable guy who, as happened in this instance, often wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He made scrambling an art form because if his pass protection broke down, he was renowned for dancing and circling away from defenders until he found someone to throw to, or just took off and ran with the ball. But with this flamboyance also came a reputation for making mistakes -- 25 interceptions in 1946, one in every six and a half attempts, compared to just 12 TD passes. He had been traded to the Giants after the 1945 season and seemed to have at last found a full-time job as the ideal tailback in Owen's A-formation offense. Merle Hapes: He was from Mississippi, and a rookie in 1942. He spent three seasons in the military before rejoining the team in 1946.

He was right, in one sense: basketball would someday capture the attention of the American sports public. But Marshall was ahead of his time, and he didn’t have much patience to wait decades, let alone years, to reap the rewards of his sports venture. He was already a successful Washington businessman, inheriting the Palace Laundry from his father and building it into a profitable business. But Marshall liked action and being in the spotlight. He was a showman by nature, and he wanted to expand into something that gave him a greater rush than cleaning clothes. He hoped the ABL would do that, but in the era of Babe Ruth, Bobby Jones, and Jack Dempsey, thereCOPYRIGHTED was no such icon for roundball. MATERIAL Marshall’s basketball venture was not in vain, however. He made some important contacts with men of that era who had similar dreams. One man in particular who had a clearer vision of the future of Amer- ican sports was George “Papa Bear” Halas. And Halas had a standard bearer to compete with the likes of a Ruth, Jones, and Dempsey: Red Grange, who would help launch the National Football League in the 1920s. 5 c01.qxd 6/28/06 9:24 AM Page 6 6 HAIL VICTORY Halas, a former standout end and baseball player (he played with the New York Yankees in 1919), was hired in 1920 by the Staley Starch Company of Decatur, Illinois, to organize a company football team.

  • 1940: the Triumph of the T
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) 1940: THE TRIUMPH OF THE T By Bob Carroll The United States ended World War II with the biggest explosions ever seen on the planet up to then -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For pro football, the decade began with the biggest explosion ever on an NFL field -- the Chicago Bears' 73-0 blasting of the Washington Redskins. In the great scheme of things, happenings on a hundred-yard field may be of little importance compared to the events of a World War, but to a football fanatic the year 1940 is of crucial importance to the development of their game. The Bears' one-sided win led to the eventual triumph of the T-formation in all its guises as the premier attacking system. Once the lethal qualities of the T had been so thoroughly demonstrated by Chicago, other teams began redesigning their offenses. The switch was not accomplished overnight -- the Pittsburgh Steelers held onto their single-wing attack until 1952 and a few college teams still resisted the T into the 1960s. But by the end of the war in 1945, the T had clearly become the dominant method of moving a football. The T-formation lent itself to passing far better than the old wing attacks. The quarterback who began every play was the key man. By turning his back to the line of scrimmage as soon as he got the snap, the quarterback hid what he was going to do with the football from the defense. He might hand-off or pitch- out, and that froze the defenses long enough for him to spot a receiver and throw to him.

  • Vol. 5, No. 2 (1983)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 2 (1983) REDSKINS FROM WASHINGTON by Bob Kirlin Below is the roster of the 1942 Redskins, who, as you know, were the most recent team to win the NFL championship before this recent season. I took it from The Sports Encyclopedia: Pro Football, then arranged the players in alphabetical order. The idea was to find if what I suspected really was true. Sure enough, it was. If you will observe the schools attended by these men, you will notice that Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, San Jose State, Texas A & M, and TCU all contributed two players each to this title-winning team. But there is one school, not too big, that contributed three players! And that is not all...the coach of this outfit was also from that same college! In other words, no other school contributed as many players to the '42 Redskins as Gonzaga of Spokane. LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BULLDOGS! In addition, Dick Farman attended Washington State and Steve Slivinski attended Washington, so there was a real Evergreen State influence on that title team. Ki Aldrich, TCU Sammy Baugh, TCU Ed Beinor, Notre Dame Vic Carroll, Nevada Ed Cifers, Tennessee Fred Davis, Alabama Rufus Deal, Auburn Andy Farkas, Detroit Dick Farman, Washington State John Goodyear, Marquette Cecil Hare, Gonzaga Ray Hare, Gonzaga Ed Justice, Gonzaga Steve Juzwik, Notre Dame John Kovatch, Northwestern Al Krueger, USC Charley Malone, Texas A & M Bob Masterson, Miami, Fla.

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.
