  • Goln' to the DOGS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 6 (1998) GOlN’ TO THE DOGS By Paul M. Bennett They're off and running excitedly and enthusiastically chasing that elusive rabbit. The long since departed and all but forgotten, All-America Football Conference was a professional football league that had "gone to the dogs." Literally! Some football fans, such as those dour National Football League diehards (you know who you are), would say that "going to the dogs" definitely had described the AAFC's level of play during the league's all too brief, four-year tenure as a fiery competitor to the established pro league. Their argument was further reinforced after the league finally called it quits following the end of the 1949 season, when three of its teams (Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts) were absorbed, or merged (if one is kind), into the NFL commencing with the 1950 season. AAFC fans would simply say "pooh" to those NFL naysayers. What did they know? Haughtiness and arrogance seemed to have been their credo. Conservative to a fault. A new idea must be a bad idea! The eight-team AAFC had played football at a level that was both entertaining to the viewing public and similar in quality to that of the older, ten-team league. The only problem the AAFC seemed to have had was its overall lack of depth, talent-wise, and, more importantly, its lack of adequate team competition. The AAFC's chief asset had been the powerful and innovative Cleveland Browns, arguably one of professional football's most dominant franchises.

  • Forty Years Later: Where the '72 White Sox Are Now
    Forty Years Later: Where The '72 White Sox Are Now By Mark Liptak and Paul Ladewski Posted on Friday, May 17 Forty years have passed since the 1972 White Sox team breathed new life into the franchise in one memorable season. Here's where the core players have been since then and where they are now: Cy Acosta, pitcher. The reliever spent three of his four major league seasons in a White Sox uniform. In 1973, his 18 saves ranked fifth in the league. The same year he became the first American League pitcher to bat in the designated hitter era. The 65- year-old resides in Mexico. Dick Allen, first base. He was the runaway winner in the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player vote, as he had career-highs in RBI (113), bases on balls (99) and on-base percentage (.420). The career .292 hitter played for five teams in15 seasons, after which he served as an advisor and instructor for several years. Now 70 years old, he resides in western Pennsylvania. Luis Alvarado, shortstop. In 1972, the Puerto Rican utilityman took part in a career-high 102 games. Two years earlier, the former International League Most Valuable Player was acquired in the trade that sent shortstop Luis Aparicio to the Boston Red Sox. Died at age 52 on March 20, 2001. Mike Andrews, second base. Also a part of the Aparicio trade, he started 143 games in the 1972 season, his last as an everyday player. One year later, he became the first DH in franchise history.

  • Bathing Belle
    BATHING BELLE Favourites from the Violet Rowe Swimwear Collection Take a step back in time and explore some of our favourite pieces from collector Violet Rowe’s remarkable collection of unique swimwear. Violet started curating her collection in 1957 at the age of 17 when she began work as a junior sales assistant in the fashion department at Myer Centre Ade- laide. The collection showcases the evolution of beach fashion and the iconic internation- al and national fashion labels and designers who rose to fame during the 1930s to 1960s. Though fashion fades, style is eternal. You can see the Violet Rowe Swimwear Collection in person at the Bay Discovery Centre museum.

The women’s bathing slippers with flower fabric and blue rubber were manufac- tured by “Dunlop” in Australia. The pattern varies slightly between the shoes.

  • Mormonism's Worldwide Aspirations and Its Changing Conceptions of Race and Lineage
    Mormonism's Worldwide Aspirations and its Changing Conceptions of Race and Lineage Armand L. Mauss Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.. .And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. -Apostle Paul to the Galatians 3:7, 29. MORMON HISTORY CONTAINS ITS FAIR SHARE of ironies and unintended con- sequences. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began with a mission to restore the ancient church, but not for everyone at the same time. In its earliest days, the church was preoccupied with its mission to seek out the descendants of Abraham through Jacob or Israel; these Is- raelites, in turn, would prepare the world for the millennial reign of the Messiah. The first to be so identified were the Lamanites, known to other Americans as the aboriginal Indians, but believed by the Latter- day Saints to be descendants of the ancient Joseph, son of Jacob (Israel). Next came the Anglo-Israelites, otherwise called "Mormons," who were thought to be descendants of Joseph through his son Ephraim. The church thus appeared at first as an exclusive, particularistic sect, not only claiming to be the sole authentically Christian church, but also seeking its converts primarily from certain lineages. This is the story of how such a provincial-even tribal-movement was gradually trans- formed into a universal religion in which lineage of all kinds became es- sentially irrelevant.1 1This account is given with much greater detail and documentation in my forthcom- ing book tentatively entitled, All Abraham's Children: Changing LDS Conceptions of Lineage and Race (unpublished manuscript under editorial review by publishers).
