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.

A History of the Presentation of American Football in England and Germany
FROM VIOLENCE TO PARTY: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENTATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND AND GERMANY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lars Dzikus, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin L. Adelman, Adviser Professor Sarah K. Fields Adviser Professor William J. Morgan College of Education ABSTRACT While scholars have widely discussed the cultural, economic, and political influence of the United States on Europe in general and Germany in particular, the realm of sports has received surprisingly little attention. This study ties in with the scholarly debate about Americanization and / or globalization that started in the first half the 1990s. It examines the presentation of American football in England from the 1890s through World War II as well as in Germany following the war to the present day. The study discusses what non-Americans wrote about football and what their countrymen and –women read about it. The study draws on English and German newspapers and magazines, particularly the London Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It also examines the role American military, radio, television, and movies played in the diffusion of American football. In the case of Germany, the researcher draws on extensive qualitative interviews with several of the “founding fathers” of American football in Germany as well as his own experiences in the sport. The work demonstrates that American football arrived in Germany on a field that had been prepared by a three-hundred-year process of imagining Amerika.

Frankie Albert: "Mr
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 5 (1985) FRANKIE ALBERT: "MR. 49ER" By Joseph Hession Excerpted from FORTY NINERS: Looking Back He was called "the T-Formation Wizard" and for good reason. Frankie Albert threw 88 touchdown passes in four years of All-America Football Conference play, the league record. Other than Otto Graham, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, no one came close to that. Remember, that was the era of three yards and a cloud of dust, a time when throwing the football was akin to witchcraft. And maybe that's why Frankie Albert was called the wizard. He certainly could throw a football. In 1948, he led the wildest offense in the nation, throwing 29 touchdown passes in 14 games. That was a 49er single season record that stood until 1965 when John Brodie threw for 30, the current record. At 5-9 and 170 pounds, the southpaw from Stanford didn't look like a football player. But on the field his wide array of talents took over. He could run, throw, kick and handle the ball like a magician. With Albert in control, the ball disappeared more times than a rabbit in a vaudeville show – now you see it, now you don't. "I guess my ability to handle the ball made me effective," he said modestly. "I was pretty good on a bootleg. I could hide the ball and run it if I had to." But running the football wasn't what made Albert one of the highest paid players in the old league.
