The Star that shone o'er Bethlehem Still shines into the hearts of them Who cherish loved ones far and wide With open hearts this Christmastide. As children we have all been told That story ever new yet old, Of the first Christmas Day— The lowly manger filled with hay That cradled midst the cows and sheep The new-born child Whose name we keep. We all look back to childhood's days Through grown-up years and memory's haze And long to feel the selfsame joy In Christmas that a little boy Or little girl once gladly knew When childish dreams came true. Our child's heart full of Christmas glee Is still enshrined in memory. And, like a hidden treasure chest, On this, of all the days the best. Let's leave all troubles and all care And delve for Childhood's treasure there. Let us forgive the careless wrong, Let us be fair and brave and strong, Renewing in our hearts again The Christmas spirit which has lain Quiescent through the present year And turn our thoughts to joy and cheer. —Cobb Engineers, Ciuilization's Ttlonument builders EOLOGlSTS tell us that the home-made cement, mixed with powdered only permanent record of this brick-dust and small flint nodules. era of civilization will be found These nodules were imbedded in a ma- at the bottom of the Atlantic trix of cement mortar.

  • National Football League Franchise Transactions
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4 (1982) The following article was originally published in PFRA's 1982 Annual and has long been out of print. Because of numerous requests, we reprint it here. Some small changes in wording have been made to reflect new information discovered since this article's original publication. NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE FRANCHISE TRANSACTIONS By Joe Horrigan The following is a chronological presentation of the franchise transactions of the National Football League from 1920 until 1949. The study begins with the first league organizational meeting held on August 20, 1920 and ends at the January 21, 1949 league meeting. The purpose of the study is to present the date when each N.F.L. franchise was granted, the various transactions that took place during its membership years, and the date at which it was no longer considered a league member. The study is presented in a yearly format with three sections for each year. The sections are: the Franchise and Team lists section, the Transaction Date section, and the Transaction Notes section. The Franchise and Team lists section lists the franchises and teams that were at some point during that year operating as league members. A comparison of the two lists will show that not all N.F.L. franchises fielded N.F.L. teams at all times. The Transaction Dates section provides the appropriate date at which a franchise transaction took place. Only those transactions that can be date-verified will be listed in this section. An asterisk preceding a franchise name in the Franchise list refers the reader to the Transaction Dates section for the appropriate information.

It was in 1922 that the loose American Professional Football Association became the National Football League, a tighter organization destined to endure. Two of the NFL's leading figures memorialized the debut season with All-Pro selections. George Halas picked a team which appeared in several mid- western newspapers. As a fine end, coach and co-owner of the Chicago Bears, and an influential voice in league affairs, Halas already had a reputation as an expert on pro football. first team second team E- Guy Chamberlin, Can E- Eddie Anderson, ChiC E- Luke Urban, Buf E- Tillie Voss, RI T- Wilbur Henry, Can T- Russ Hathaway, Day T- Hugh Blacklock, ChiB T- Fred Gillies, ChiC G- Herb Stein, Tol G- Hunk Anderson, ChiB G- Ed Healey, RI-ChiB G- Al Nesser, Akr C- Joe Alexander, Roc C- Jim Flower, Akr Q- Tommy Hughitt, Buf Q- Benny Boynton, Roch H- Paddy Driscoll, ChiC H- Dutch Sternaman, ChiB H- Pete Stinchcomb, ChiB H- Curly, Lambeau F- Rip King, Akr F- Jim Laird, Buf Sources: Green Bay Press Gazette, December 16, 1922; Columbus Dispatch, December 17, 1922; Dayton Journal, December 19, 1922; Canton Daily News, December 19, 1922 (first team only) One surprising aspect of Halas' selections is the appearance of only two Canton players, Guy Chamberlin and Wilbur Henry, despite the Bulldogs' undefeated championship season. Another 1922 honor roll was chosen by Guy Chamberlin, star end and coach of the Bulldogs.
