THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 2 (1983) REDSKINS FROM WASHINGTON by Bob Kirlin Below is the roster of the 1942 Redskins, who, as you know, were the most recent team to win the NFL championship before this recent season. I took it from The Sports Encyclopedia: Pro Football, then arranged the players in alphabetical order. The idea was to find if what I suspected really was true. Sure enough, it was. If you will observe the schools attended by these men, you will notice that Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, San Jose State, Texas A & M, and TCU all contributed two players each to this title-winning team. But there is one school, not too big, that contributed three players! And that is not all...the coach of this outfit was also from that same college! In other words, no other school contributed as many players to the '42 Redskins as Gonzaga of Spokane. LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BULLDOGS! In addition, Dick Farman attended Washington State and Steve Slivinski attended Washington, so there was a real Evergreen State influence on that title team. Ki Aldrich, TCU Sammy Baugh, TCU Ed Beinor, Notre Dame Vic Carroll, Nevada Ed Cifers, Tennessee Fred Davis, Alabama Rufus Deal, Auburn Andy Farkas, Detroit Dick Farman, Washington State John Goodyear, Marquette Cecil Hare, Gonzaga Ray Hare, Gonzaga Ed Justice, Gonzaga Steve Juzwik, Notre Dame John Kovatch, Northwestern Al Krueger, USC Charley Malone, Texas A & M Bob Masterson, Miami, Fla.

Ray Flaherty
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 6, Nos. 5 & 6 (1984) Ray Flaherty By Don Smith Before Ray Flaherty coached even one National Football League game, he put himself squarely behind the eight ball with a rare vow that he would offer his resignation if his Boston Redskins did not win the NFL title! Prompting Flaherty’s drastic departure from the accepted coach's posture was the signing of an all- American end from Notre Dame, Wayne Millner. In a gush of exuberance, Ray wired the Redskins’ owner, George Preston Marshall: "With that big Yankee playing end, please accept mly resignation if the Redskins do not win the championship this year!” "This year” was 1936 and history records that the Redskins did not win the championship, although they came close. History also shows that Flaherty did not resign, nor was he asked to do so. Instead he stayed on six more years until World War II service interrupted his tenure and he brought the Redskins four Eastern division and two NFL championships. No other Redskins coach stayed as long nor provided as many titles, a record not soon forgotten either in Washington or the entire NFL.. Proof of this is his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976, a full 40 seasons after that rookie coaching campaign in Boston in 1936. Flaherty's seven-year record with the Redskins was a sizzling 54- 21-3. After his war service, he returned to the New York Yankees of the new All-America Football Conference and led that team to divisional championships in both 1946 and 1947.

The President's Corner
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. XVII (1996) THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER By Jack Clary Continuing with some memories of outstanding pro footballers who passed away last year: In 1946 Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes were the principles in the only severe gambling incident ever to affect an NFL championship game. Filchock was the Giants best offensive performer and Hapes backed up No. 2 rusher Bill Paschal (and Jim Lee Howell was one of their teammates). They helped the Giants to win the 1946 Eastern Division title, and were set to play the Chicago Bears for the title at the Polo Grounds. Frank Filchock: He was from the University of Indiana, and had backed up Sammy Baugh for many seasons at Washington. He was a happy-go-lucky, sometimes unpredictable guy who, as happened in this instance, often wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He made scrambling an art form because if his pass protection broke down, he was renowned for dancing and circling away from defenders until he found someone to throw to, or just took off and ran with the ball. But with this flamboyance also came a reputation for making mistakes -- 25 interceptions in 1946, one in every six and a half attempts, compared to just 12 TD passes. He had been traded to the Giants after the 1945 season and seemed to have at last found a full-time job as the ideal tailback in Owen's A-formation offense. Merle Hapes: He was from Mississippi, and a rookie in 1942. He spent three seasons in the military before rejoining the team in 1946.
