10 Interesting Things About the 1939 NFL Season
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 3 (2000) TEN INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THE 1939 NFL SEASON THAT I COULDN’T FIT INTO MY PREVIOUS ARTICLE ABOUT THAT SEASON By John Hogrogian In researching the 1939 NFL season, I read for each game at least one account from a newspaper of the home team’s city and at least one account from the visitors’ city. The following observations come from my reading: 1. I found only ten serious injuries, defined as one that causes a player to miss three games: • Dixie Stokes, a Detroit center, injured a knee in a pre-season scrimmage and missed all eleven games of the season. • Max Krause, a Washington blocking back, injured a knee against the Giants on October 1 and missed the remaining nine games. He was designated an assistant coach for the rest of the season. • Mike Rodak, a Cleveland end, suffered a broken arm against the Cardinals on October 22 and missed the remaining five games of the season. • Jim Lee Howell, a New York end, suffered three broken ribs in a pre-season game and missed the first four games of the season. • Don Irwin, a Washington fullback, injured an ankle against the Eagles on November 5 and missed the remaining four games of the season. • Sammy Baugh, a Washington tailback, hurt a knee against the Giants on October 1 and missed the next three games, although in the third of those games, against the Pirates on October 22, he entered the game for one play. • Ernie Wheeler, a Pittsburgh tailback, injured a foot against the Bears on October 2 and missed the next three games. -
1936: the FIRST DRAFT by Bob Barnett
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 6 (1983) 1936: THE FIRST DRAFT By Bob Barnett When the NFL convened for its annual player draft this year, it was a media event of the first order. The team tables and the NFL head table in the grand ballroom of the Sheraton Hotel in New York were bathed in the glare of television lights as the drama of who-got-whom was played out live before an ESPN audience and dozens of newspaper and magazine reporters. Many of the players who expected to be drafted in an early round attended the draft in person, but almost every other eligible football-playing college senior watched the television event with intense interest. As well they should have, for an early round selection can be negotiated into a seven-figure, multi-year contract, while a twelfth round pick can result in receiving only the NFL minimum, $40,000. This year's draft is obviously quite different from the very first NFL draft held in 1936. In contrast to today's practice of scouting virtually every college football player in the U.S., owners often compiled their draft lists from well-worn copies of Football Illustrated magazines. Then they got ready to talk contract in the low four figures. Worse yet, neither the fans nor the the players knew the draft was taking place and frankly did not care. The idea of a draft was hatched in the fertile brain of Bert Bell, the beleaguered owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, in 1935. Bell, who successfully served as NFL commissioner from 1946 to 1959, founded the Eagles in 1933. -
