O f. (P. <=£. sA ids the Oxled ross In keeping with the spirit of unity, which war has effected throughout the nation, school music organizations decided to give up participation in the Eastern District Contest this year. Previous years have found the band, chorus, and orchestra repre­ sented there. The necessary expenses for the trip have been defrayed by local business men and the members of each musical organization. Music had been purchased, rehearsals scheduled, and practicing begun before the na­ tional emergency brought forth the decision to stay at home. Again in the spirit of unity, school officials and music directors worked out a plan. On March 24th in the Junior High School Auditorium, the Senior High School Band, Chorus, and Orchestra presented a concert for the benefit of the American Red Cross. It was a disappointment to the music students not to make the usual out of town trip and have among other things, one day of “hot-hog stuffing.” But what a satisfaction to be giving and helping others to give of their talents! Each member of the student body had part in making the necessary arrangements. The art department made post­ ers and helped to decorate the stage. Students wrote and delivered addresses before professional and business organizations in order to p’ace the plan before the public. Stu­ dents sold tickets and distributed hand bills which were printed by the Industrial Arts department. The Red Cross sent part of the proceeds direct to the war front. A portion of the pro­ ceeds was used to buy supplies which our students turned into necessary war materials. W e think the band, chorus, and orchestra should be given three cheers for making it possible for so many people to help with and receive help from this concert.

  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities WAR SEASONS: GLENN KILLINGER, SERVICE FOOTBALL, AND THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN HERO IN POSTWAR AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation in American Studies by Todd M. Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

  • 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen
    Building a Champion: 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen BUILDING A CHAMPION: 1920 AKRON PROS By Ken Crippen It’s time to dig deep into the archives to talk about the first National Football League (NFL) champion. In fact, the 1920 Akron Pros were champions before the NFL was called the NFL. In 1920, the American Professional Football Association was formed and started play. Currently, fourteen teams are included in the league standings, but it is unclear as to how many were official members of the Association. Different from today’s game, the champion was not determined on the field, but during a vote at a league meeting. Championship games did not start until 1932. Also, there were no set schedules. Teams could extend their season in order to try and gain wins to influence voting the following spring. These late-season games were usually against lesser opponents in order to pad their win totals. To discuss the Akron Pros, we must first travel back to the century’s first decade. Starting in 1908 as the semi-pro Akron Indians, the team immediately took the city championship and stayed as consistently one of the best teams in the area. In 1912, “Peggy” Parratt was brought in to coach the team. George Watson “Peggy” Parratt was a three-time All-Ohio football player for Case Western University. While in college, he played professionally for the 1905 Shelby Blues under the name “Jimmy Murphy,” in order to preserve his amateur status. It only lasted a few weeks until local reporters discovered that it was Parratt on the field for the Blues.

  • Freeman and Wallace
    FREEMAN AND WALLACE Doctors Howard Freeman and Richard Wallace established their Electro-Medical and Surgical Institute in Sydney in 1897, and quickly set about organising a widespread and high-profile publicity campaign throughout Australasia. The Institute's advertisements, which promoted its ability to cure nervous and chronic complaints, blood and skin diseases, heart, kidney, liver, bladder, Rheumatism, sciatica and other problems, especially targeted men. From the early 1900s they began using endorsements, both celebrities and non-celebrities. The most popular were sportsmen. Also utilised were Australian and visiting international variety artists - notably trick cyclist Arthur Hill (Hill and Sylvainy) and pianist J. H. Brown. By early 1908 increasing questions regarding the veracity of their treatments, along with several law suits by patients, led to the Postmaster General placing the Institute on its prohibited post list. Later that same year Freeman and Wallace were forced into bankruptcy. Howard Freeman and Richard Wallace set up their Electro-Medical and Surgical Institute at the corner of Elizabeth and Bathurst streets, Sydney sometime around mid to late-1897. Although the pair promoted themselves as "legally qualified and registered" doctors and specialists, with nine diplomas and certificates between them,1 there is some question as to the validity of their claims to be medical practitioners. Their advertisements, the earliest being in September 1897, not only highlighted consultations at their institute but also offered individuals not living in Sydney the opportunity to write to them outlining their complaints. Freeman and Wallace would then provide them with the necessary treatment - which they claimed was "always satisfactory." These treatments supposedly cured nervous and chronic complaints, blood and skin diseases, heart, kidney, liver, bladder, Rheumatism, sciatica etc.

The journalist and broadcaster Moyes may be unique in tightness of affiliation with both Victor Trumper and Donald Bradman: he was an opponent of the former, a biographer of the latter, a friend and idolator of both. He also links the man in whose name tonight’s inaugural lecture has been endowed. Six-year-old Moyes first met Trumper one summer evening in December 1900 when his father, a schoolteacher, invited the visiting New South Wales team to their home in Adelaide. In The Changing Face of Cricket, Moyes recalled that he was at first less taken by Trumper than by his teammate Jack Marsh: “I do not remember now whether I had seen a coloured man, but certainly I hadn’t seen one who was playing first-class (2) Iconic image: the photo that began the Trumper legend cricket, and Marsh fascinated me.

  • The Rock Island Independents
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 3 (1983) THE ROCK ISLAND INDEPENDENTS By Bob Braunwart & Bob Carroll On an October Sunday afternoon in 1921, the Chicago Cardinals held a 7-0 lead after the first quarter at Normal Park on the strength of Paddy Driscoll's 75-year punt return for a touchdown and his subsequent extra point. If there was a downside for the 4,000 assembled Cardinal fans, it was the lackluster performance of the visitors from across state--The Rock Island Independents. But the Independents were not dead. As a matter of fact, their second quarter was to be quite exciting--and certainly one of the most important sessions in the life of their young halfback, Jim Conzelman. It would be nice if we only knew in what order the three crucial events of that second quarter occurred, but newspaper accounts are unclear and personal recollections are vague. Certain it is that the Islanders ruched the ball down the field to the Chicago five. At that point, Quarterback Sid Nichols lofted a short pass to Conzelman in the end zone. After Jim tied the score with a nice kick, the teams lined up to start all over. At the kickoff, Conzelman was down the field like a shot--the Cardinals were to insist he was offsides. Before any Chicagoan could lay hand on the ball, Jim grasped it and zipped unmolested across the goal line. Another kick brought the score to 14-7, as it was to remain through the second half. The third event of that fateful second quarter was the most unusual, but whether it happened before Conzelman's heroics to inspire him or after them to reward him is something we'll probably never know.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 8 (1980)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 8 (1980) HAPPY BIRTHDAY NFL? by P.F.R.A. Research On September 17 of this year the National Football League will celebrate its 61st (ed. note: 79th as of 1998) birthday, but some new information uncovered by a P.F.R.A. research team indicates the celebration may be a bit belated. By the time mid- September rolls around, the NFL might actually be closer to 61 years and one month old. As most fans know, the NFL has for many years regarded a meeting in Ralph E. Hay's Hupmobile showroom in Canton, Ohio, as its initial organizational meeting. That get- together -- held on Friday evening, September 17, 1920 -- has been described by nearly every writer who ever penned a book on pro football, how Hay, Jim Thorpe, George Halas, Leo Lyons and eight or ten other pioneers sat around on the cars' running boards, drank beer from buckets hung over the fenders, and created in a few hours' time the first pro football league. The minutes of that meeting have been reprinted many times, and a bronze copy hangs on the wall at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (See the facsimile at end of this article.) In summary, the following business was transacted: 1. A name -- American Professional Football Association -- was chosen. 2. Officers were elected. 3. A $100 membership fee was set (but Halas is witness that no money changed hands). 4. A committee to draft a constitution was named. 5. The secretary was to receive a list of all players used during the season by Jan.
