President’s Message: One of the missions of the Varsity ’S’ Club is to engage MSU letterwinners with MSU Athletics to help maintain your connection back to MSU. Each member of our Club, young and old, has played an important role in defining what it means to be a Spartan. By coming together in celebration of past athletic achievements and present successes of our current student-athletes, our Club can help advance MSU athletics in the future. With these goals in mind, we hope this upcoming year will be a year of celebration and engagement, kicked off with the 100 Year Celebration of the MSU Varsity ‘S’ Club on Friday, September 18. The 100 Year Celebration is a black tie optional event and will be co-hosted by MSU Athletic Director, Mark Hollis and MSU Alumni Association Executive Director, Scott Westerman. The Celebration will begin with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner. The 100 Year Celebration program will feature special guest speakers and presentations highlighting 100 years of the Varsity ‘S’ Club and MSU, and we will also honor our 2015 award winners. On Saturday, September 19, we will be hosting a tailgate on Old College Field prior to the home football game against Air Force. We hope to see you at these very special events. You can register for the 100 Year Celebration online at: https://commerce.cashnet.com/ msu_3719. Please help us spread the word to all Club members and MSU letterwinners. In addition to the 100 Year Celebration, our esteemed board of directors will be planning new events and opportunities for our membership to stay engaged with the university and celebrate our experiences at MSU. Stay tuned! Lastly, as I am writing this message, another fall season of MSU sports is quickly approaching. That means a lot of you will be joining us in the Varsity ‘S’ Club Room on football Saturdays and we look forward to having you. As a reminder, the Club Room will be open for all home football games at least 1.5 hours prior to kick-off. As always, concessions will be selling food and beverages and our new TVs will be on with the broadcast of the game. Members may bring up to three (3) guests into the Club Room but must accompany their guests. Keep in mind: the Club Room has a capacity of 150 people and is closely monitored by the fire marshal. Once we have reached capacity, entry to the Club will be closed until the number of occupants has been reduced.

Following last fall’s NCAA championship in cross country, many of State’s points came in the distance runs, with star senior Leah O’Connor winning the 3,000 Meter Steeplechase, the 1500 Meters, and the 5,000 Meter Runs. However, it was truly a team victory as MSU’s women scored in 24 events. At the end of the second day of the three-day meet, Minnesota led with 71 points to State’s 52 and Nebraska’s 51. But the Spartans came storming back on the final day, spanking the competition with 128 points to Nebraska’s 97 and Minnesota’s 93. The MSU men finished seventh with 55 points, after several years edging to the top half of the now-expanded Big Ten conference. Scenes, Memories from Michigan State University’s Sports History Editor’s Note: This editor would like to thank Paulette Martis and the staff at MSU’s Athletics Communications for pictures used in the production of this and previous Anniversary “Sentinel” issues. Also credited are Tom Shanahan and his book, “Raye of Light,” as well as Ernie Pasteur, who told me of his family’s visit from Duffy Daugherty. Other sources are Frimodig & Stabley’s “Spartan Saga” and Seibold’s “Spartan Sports Encyclopedia.” But credit is also deserved by the ‘S’ Club’s Don Behm, and our woman who gets things done, Marilyn Bria, Supervisor of the Varsity ‘S‘ Club Office. S UM M E R 2 0 1 5 4 Duffy’s “Underground Railroad” and “Hawaiian Pipeline” Bring African-American and Hawaiian Athletes Into Division One Football As Never Before The 1967 Spartan Football Team with 23 Minority Players In the 1950s and 1960s, a smattering of black athletes could be found at Division 1 colleges and in professional sports. But Duffy Daugherty, an an assistant coach to MSU Biggie Munn, took over as head coach in 1959 when Munn retired and became the AD. Both had previously coached at Syracuse, where in 1961 black running back Ernie Davis had won the Heisman Trophy. (Davis unfortunately died of cancer and never got to play in the NFL.) Davis‘ speed and power caught Daugherty’s notice, and he began to send assistants to scout black players, finding a gold mine in black high schools in the segregated south. Also noticed were Hawaiians Bob Apisa, Dick Kenney and Charlie Wedemeyer. Not all were stars and a few had little playing time, but from 1959 to 1972, 44 black players from the south played on Duffy’s teams, with thirty of them graduating, above the average until just recently. At the height of their power, the Spartan teams of 1966 and 1967 were the best in America. The potent offense featured quarterback Jimmie Raye, running backs Clinton Jones and Bob Apisa, and receiver Gene Washington. But it was the defense that was special. Defensive end Bubba Smith, roverback George Webster, and 5’9” sparkplug linebacker Charlie (Mad Dog) Thornhill led the charge in holding teams like Michigan and Notre Dame to negative rushing yardage, and at times negative overall yardage. These were the most dominant Spartan football teams ever.

Pasteur was a highly recruited 1962 fullback/linebacker at black Queen Street High School in Beaufort, North Carolina. He fully expected to play at black colleges North Carolina A&T or Grambling, but a friend of his brother, Earl Tootle, drove him to meet with Norm Clark, a white high school coach at nearby Morehead City. Clark said, “Ernie, you’re better than that. I’ve been following your career--let me write some letters.” Michigan State was among the Big Ten schools that began to recruit him. Pasteur vividly remembered when Daugherty came knocking at the door to convince him to play for Michigan State: “You’ve got to understand what it was like in the South back then,” he said.

DAVIS Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ____________________________ Dr. Stephen H.

Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

  • Bubba Smith: All Too Real
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 2 (1996) BUBBA SMITH: ALL TOO REAL by Mike Gershman "When hearing tales of Bubba Smith, You wonder, is he man or myth?" -- Ogden Nash Quarterbacks who faced a charging Charles "Bubba" Smith generally found him -- at 6'8", 280 pounds -- all too real. A legend in East Lansing, Smith was a two-time All-America at Michigan State and an All-Pro before a freak accident hampered his effectiveness and shortened his playing career. He was born in Beaumont, Texas, and his father, coach Willie Ray Smith, bred three All-State Smiths -- Willie Ray, Jr., Tody, and Bubba. Willie Ray, Sr., made Charlton Pollard a perennial power in Texas school football; the school was 11-0 Bubba's senior year, and recruiters wore out the rugs in the Smith household until he decided on MSU. As a sophomore, he starred on a team that yielded just 76 points in eleven games. In 1965, MSU beat UCLA, 13-3, shut out Penn State, 23-0, and held Michigan to minus 51 yards rushing. Before the Ohio State game, Buckeye coach Woody Hayes warned that his team would run directly at Bubba; Smith stuffed the running attack, and MSU won, 32-7. The Spartans beat Notre Dame, 12-3, in South Bend to finish unbeaten but lost a Rose Bowl rematch to UCLA, 14-12. Despite the loss, Smith was called "the Deacon Jones of the college ranks" and was a consensus All-America selection. In 1966, Michigan State won its first nine games. The day before MSU was to play undefeated Notre Dame for the national championship, Smith roared by the Irish practice and was jailed on the eve of the Big Game.

  • 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.
