2 www.pigskinclub.com 75th Anniversary www.pigskinclub.com 3 75th Anniversary January 25, 2014 Greeting from the President

On behalf of the officers, board of directors, and members of the Pigskin Club of Washington, it is my esteemed pleasure to welcome you to our 75th Anniversary Awards Dinner. Tonight we celebrate our honorees, the best in their craft, those who have embodied the spirit of hard work, the triumph of victory and through defeat attained victory again by keeping their eye on the prize; your successes personify the spirit of sportsmanship and civic responsibility of the individuals after whom these awards are named.

Our founder, Dr. Charles B. Fisher believed that participation in athletics brought forth such qualities as teamwork, solidarity and character building, leadership and respect for others.

As Pigskinners we know that great things do not come easy but are accomplished by how hard we are willing to work. We are mindful of our motto “Democracy In Sports” as we reach out to our youth to ensure that this organization continues to flourish; for the youth of today are the Pigskinners of tomorrow.

We would like to thank the parents and guardians of our honorees, who by their dauntless efforts over the years have made it possible for these student athletes to accomplish the awards they are receiving tonight.

Thanks to our sponsors, members and their families for their support over the years and a special thanks to James Jackson, Brian Thomas and all of the members of the dinner committee for their tireless efforts, not just tonight but over the years which allow us to celebrate 75 years of “Democracy In Sports.”

Welcome and enjoy your evening, Lucille W Hester Lucille W. Hester President

4 www.pigskinclub.com 75th Anniversary www.pigskinclub.com 5 75th Anniversary BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PIGSKIN CLUB OF WASHINGTON, D.C., INCORPORATED Rodney P. Savoy, Jr., Club Archivist Emeritus (Deceased)

The Pigskin Club was the brainchild of the late Dr. Charles B. Fisher, a former star football player on the football teams of 1917, 1919, and 1920. Being impressed with the benefits that derive from wholesome athletics, and understanding the problems incident to participation in competitive sports, Dr. Fisher conceived the idea of assembling men who had received benefits from such activities and forming them into an organization. He discussed these ideas with a number of his friends with like interests and called a meeting for Tuesday, July 25, 1938. In a note announcing a larger meeting, Dr. Fisher wrote:

“Dear Friend of Football:

On Saturday night, July 30, 1938, at nine o’clock, I am asking those whom I believe are interested in the formation of the Pigskin Club to meet at my home. To become a member requires no fee. The purpose and eligibility are stated on the enclosed card.

May I have the pleasure of seeing you?

Sincerely yours,

Charles B. Fisher, M.D. “Organizer”

The purpose of this meeting was stated on a card, enclosed with the call for the initial meeting: “PIGSKIN CLUB-PURPOSE”

That there be an ever improving relationship between persons interested in the game of football; that there may be given encouragement for good, clean sport; that there may be a more perfect under¬standing among such persons; and, that there may be mutual benefits and pleasures derived from such association.

ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBERSHIP

Satisfactory evidence of having played in competition. Satisfactory evidence of having made some outstanding contribution to the sport of football.”

Since the first meeting, the Pigskin Club has become one of the leading and influential sports organizations in the Nation. Under the leadership of Charles B. Fisher, the Club became a rallying point for college lettermen, coaches and citizens interested in clean sports and fair play.

At many luncheon and dinner meetings, high school athletes have been given achievement awards. All-star sports aggregations also have been honored and given awards at the Club’s annual awards dinners.

www.pigskinclub.com 7 75th Anniversary John T. Rhines - Following the death of Charles Fisher, the late John T. Rhines headed the Club. Officers of the previous administration were retained. Quarterly meetings were held at which prominent speakers on many cur¬rent topics of interest, and movie-tone pictures of national and international athletic events were featured. James G. Tyson - Following the death of John Rhines, James G. “Pete” Tyson was elected president at a meeting held in the Cimmaron Club on November 12, 1947. Other officers elected at this time included: E. B. Henderson and John Pinkett, vice presidents; Joseph H.B. Evans and Rosier Gaddis, secretaries; W. Henry Greene, treasurer. Under this administration, the Club made greater strides towards “Big Time” operation. It was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. Sensing a responsibility in public and community affairs, the club extended its influence by contributing nearly one thousand dollars for to the city amateur clubs, and by a gift of $500 to the Dr. Charles R. Drew Memorial Fund. Appropriate trophies were donated to such athletic events as the Evening Star indoor track meet; the YMCA basketball and track events and to many local high school championship teams.

Due to an increase in membership, larger banquet rooms were needed for the annual dinner. During this period, as in former years, visiting athletes were entertained at luncheon and din¬ner meetings. , “Minnie” Minosa, and “ Jersey” Joe Walcott were among the honorees at this time. Speakers at the annual banquet included Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, Honorable William McNair Rand, and Judge Fred “Duke” Slater.

Bradford of Olympic Games fame. Lawrence A. Oxley - veteran U.S. Department of Labor official, was elected president in December 1953; and was unanimously re-elected for the years 1955, 1956 and 1957. Officers elected with this administration were; Isaiah Burton, George W. Dorsey, and Millard Dean, vice presidents; Everett Carter and Cato Adams, secretaries; W. Henry Greene, treasurer; Daniel Monroe, auditor; Edwin Henderson, archivist; and William S. Thompson, general counsel. Beginning in January 1954, under “Prexy” Oxley’s leadership, the Pigskin Club has had a phenomenal growth in interest, in prestige, in financial stability, and an increase to more than 500 members. The Club continues to at¬tract outstanding athletes and men of national and international prominence to the Annual A wards Dinner, held the first Friday evening in December of each year. During this period, the Spring Smokers and the annual ban¬quets have enjoyed an attendance of over 800 Pigskinners and their guests, at each of these events. For two years, the members honored their ladies with an annual cocktail and buffet party. Awards Dinner speakers 1954 through 1957 were: Senator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois; Branch Rickey of the Pittsburgh National League Baseball Club; Archibald Carey, formerly Alternate Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly; and Dr. Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, President of Howard University.

BRIAN JENKINS BETHUNE-COOKMAN UNIVERSITY

BRIAN JENKINS recently completing his fourth year at the helm in Daytona Beach has taken the Wildcats to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs in three of his four years (2010, ‘12, and ‘13) with the program. Bethune-Cookman finished the 2013 season with a record of 10-3 overall and securing their second consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) title with a 7-1 league mark.

Under the direction of Coach Jenkins, Bethune-Cookman claimed its second MEAC title in as many years during the 2013 campaign, and the third in four years under Jenkins. The Wildcats advanced to the NCAA FCS Playoffs for third time in four years, travelling to Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C.

His 4-year record at B-CU is 37-11 (.771). Only B-CU Hall of Famer Wesley Moore (with 27 wins) had as many victories in his first three years as a Wildcat head coach. In fact, his record from 2010-13 is the best of any Division I coach in the state of Florida in that span. Of all the hires in the 2010 FCS class, Jenkins ranks first in winning percentage and third for wins amongst that class of coaching hires Only Willie Fritz (Sam Houston) and Jeff Monken (Georgia Southern) have claimed more wins in the last three seasons. Among Jenkins’ signature B-CU wins were at MEAC champion Norfolk State in 2011 and three consecutive wins against rival Florida A&M from 2011-13, respectively. He also collected a key road win at South Carolina State in 2012. Three of Jenkins’ losses in his career have come to BCS opponents Florida State and Miami, and another three in the FCS playoffs.

In each of Jenkins’ years with B-CU, the Wildcats have ranked among the national FCS leaders for scoring offense, rushing offense, total yardage, total defense and turnover margin, making his teams a formidable force not only in the MEAC, but also in the nation.

Jenkins’ hiring set the stage for both one of the most memorable runs in Wildcat history as well as a bright future for the storied program, as the culture has changed to fit the new Wildcat attack. Program enthusiasm is reaching a fever pitch.

Jenkins played college football as both a wide receiver and running back at the University of Cincinnati. He was among the all-time leaders in kickoff return yards for a season (505) and was the all-time Bearcats’ career leader in kickoff returns (62) and kickoff return yards (1,506) until the records were surpassed in 2009. He graduated in 1993 with an Associate’s Degree in Education and Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work.

In the history of Southern University football, only two coaches own the distinction of having defeated Grambling State, Jackson State, and Florida A&M in their first season running the program; (1993) and the Jaguars head coach Dawson Odums (2012).

The North Carolina native and N.C. Central graduate proceeded to lead the Jaguars to wins over Jackson State and against Florida A&M after an 0-2 start, claiming the programs first consecutive win streak since 2009.

#19 - ALLYSON HAMLIN QUARTERBACK DC DIVAS (WFA)

ALLYSON HAMLIN might be the greatest player in the history of women’s tackle football. It’s an opinion held by many, an opinion bolstered by this fact: Hamlin has won more games as a starting quarterback than any other in the history of the sport. Now entering her 12th season, Ally’s overall record as a starting quarterback is 75-19. Her 75 victories are the most for any quarterback in the history of the women’s sport; include eleven from the 2006 season, when she helped lead the team to an undefeated record and an NWFA national championship. Allyson graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park, where she was the catcher for the Terrapin softball team. After college, a fellow softball player first exposed Ally to gridiron competition by convincing her to play flag football. Many of those flag football players were also playing for the DC Divas. Hamlin was skeptical at first about women playing tackle football, but she was convinced to try out for the team after seeing the Divas play. As a rookie in 2002, she was the team’s backup quarterback for most of the year, but she earned her first start and win that season. In her second season, Ally won the starting quarterback job for the Divas and hasn’t looked back. With the exception of taking the 2010 season off, Hamlin has started every Divas game except three for over a decade. She has not only started, but she has performed at an elite level – Ally has been named to the All-American team every season she has played since becoming the team’s starting quarterback in 2003. Ally’s personal statistics are remarkable because she is often pulled out of games when the Divas secure a big lead. As a result, her best statistical games are usually against the toughest opponents. Ally set the team record for passing yards with 369 in a close win at Pittsburgh in 2004; most completions in a game with 26 in a losing effort last year at home against Boston, a contest that was not decided until the game’s final play. Despite all the accolades, records, and victories, Allyson maintains she is still learning the game with every practice. “You can’t apply your athletic ability until you understand the sport,” Ally said. As far as being the all-time wins leader among quarterbacks, Ally humbly replied, “I am only as good as the people who surround me. I have been fortunate to have had great players and people beside me for ten years. It is a testament to the entire organization.” Like all Divas, Allyson Hamlin faces the daily challenge of balancing her football career with a full-time job. During the day, Ally is a homicide detective in the Prince George’s County Police Department. Despite her taxing day job, Allyson continues to pour her heart and soul into women’s professional football. “Being a Diva means Pride, Love, Class, and Dominance,” Ally said. “More importantly, it means you are a part of something bigger than yourself and are helping pave the way for many young women down the road.”

#53 - MELLISA BEDWELL OFFENSIVE /DEFENSIVE LINE DC DIVAS (WFA)

Women’s football is a relatively modern sport, which makes experience an extremely valuable commodity. Few women’s professional football teams can boast of having a player on its roster that goes back to the very origins of the modern era.

Women had played football off and on throughout the twentieth century, but the sport didn’t really take off until 1999. That year, two teams – the Minnesota Vixens and the Lake Michigan Minx – staged an exhibition game in Minneapolis, and the response was so positive that the teams embarked on a six-game exhibition tour across the country called the “No Limits” Barnstorming Tour.

Mellisa Bedwell WAS PART OF THAT TOUR. SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF A JOURNEYMAN, HAV- ING PLAYED FOR SIX DIFFERENT TEams in four leagues in her storied career. She has been an asset to several different franchises over 15 years because of her versatility. Bedwell can play on both the offensive and defensive lines, and she fills an overlooked but vital role as a long snapper.

Even at 39 years of age, she is playing better than ever, recording 6.5 solo tackles and two assists in the Di- vas’ 2013 opener at Pittsburgh; Bedwell’s standout efforts helped lead the defense to a second half shutout that contributed to DC’s 42-31 comeback victory. Her enthusiasm, love, and dedication to the game are legendary among her teammates. After a long football journey, Mellisa Bedwell feels that she has finally found a home with the Divas.
