Spec Sanders: a Memorable Runner in a Forgotten League
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) SPEC SANDERS: A MEMORABLE RUNNER IN A FORGOTTEN LEAGUE by Stan Grosshandler (Originally published in Pro Football Digest) "During my career I saw about five or six men I would place in a special category," said Buddy Young, director of Player Relations in Commissioner Pete Rozelle's office. "I won't tell you who they are, but Spec Sanders is one of them. He was in a class by himself!" "He was one of the finest, most complete players I have ever seen. Spec was a late blossomer for he played in the shadow of Pete Layden at Texas and then spent three years in military service. He was a case of a late maturation factor". On Friday night, October 27, 1948, Spec Sanders put on one of the most spectacular and unforgettable shows ever seen on a professional gridiron. A tailback for the New York Yankees of the old All-America Football Conference, Spec carried the ball 24 times for an unsurpassed 225 yards against the Chicago Rockets. The Yankees took the opening kickoff and in 12 plays were on the scoreboard. Sanders went the last 20 yards after flattening a Rocket with a vicious straight arm. Spec accounted for the third TD with a perfect pass, and moments later as he faded for another pass, he was trapped. He squirmed loose and ran 70 yards through the entire Chicago team. "I really do not remember a great deal about the game," recalled Spec. "I do recall Buddy Young taking the opening kickoff of the second half back 95 yards for a touchdown. -

Podunk Versus Gotham: the 1946 Browns-Yankees Rivalry
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 2 (1994) PODUNK VERSUS GOTHAM: THE 1946 BROWNS-YANKEES RIVALRY by Jack Ziegler In 1946 America had a new football league - the All-America Conference. In the Eastern division the New York Yankees dominated. In the West the Cleveland Browns emerged as the team to beat, though not without some stiff competition from the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Dons. A lively rivalry quickly developed between the two divisional champions due in large part to the personalities of their coaches, New York's Ray Flaherty and Cleveland's Paul Brown. The Yankees with their uniforms of silver and blue and offices on Park Avenue were the blue chip franchise of the new league and Ray Flaherty was their blue chip coach. Flaherty's roots reached deep into pro football. He had played end with Red Grange's New York Yankees in 1927-28. In 1929 Flaherty moved to Steve Owen's New York Giants, becoming a playing coach in 1933 at age 29. In 1936 Flaherty became head coach of the Boston Redskins. In 1937, Flaherty coached the Redskins (now in Washington) to a league championship, a feat he duplicated in 1942. After Navy service in World War II, Flaherty assumed control of the Yankees. The AAC's most high-profile coach felt very good about his personnel: "I have the best material I've ever had, and that goes for the fine Washington teams." The major power in the West would turn out to be the Cleveland Browns. or as Flaherty snidely referred to them, "a team from Podunk with a high school coach." At 38, only four years younger than Flaherty, Paul Brown seemed the antithesis of his opposite number.
