Hatch, Hyder Urge Ethical Research Practices , I Thursday, March 3, 1994 • Vol. XXVI No. 102 Tl-lr INDEPI~NDENT NFWSPAPI:I\ Sli\VING NUTIU DAME AND ~AINT MARY'S Jamaican project to offer more than just a vacation By MEREDITH McCULLOUGH News Editor For many students the word "Jamaica" brings to mind a tropical island paradise - an exotic Spring Break vacation ground where the sun always shines and the beach is a welcome dis­ traction. But by August of next year, six Notre Dame graduates may feel a bit differently about Jamaica. By August, these graduates will find themselves no longer students but teachers, and may no longer see Jamaica merely as a resort country, but as their home. Under the leadership of Paul Chang, a 197 5 graduate of Notre Dame, the Jamaican chapter of the Notre Dame Alumni Club is in the process of developing a post-graduate volunteering pro­ gram in Kingston, Jamaica, with a focus on teaching. Chang, who recently visited the University to recruit students and work out administrative details, said he sees education as a means of combating poverty and underdevelopment by providing previously unavailable opportunities to those who need them most. "Through most service experiences you can touch maybe 50 people," said Chang, "but through teaching you might touch more like 200 and see real, leng term effects." The new program will be similar in structure to the Jesuit International Volunteers (JIV), and participants will have interaction with and guid­ ance from JIV volunteers who are already in Kingston. The need for Notre Dame volunteers in Jamaica is great, according to Chang. Although tourism attracts a fair number of wealthy visitors to Jamaica, it is still considered a third-world country. One will find the very Photo courtesy of Paul Chang rich and the very poor in Jamaica, but as Chang These and other children of West Kingston, Jamaica, will be benefiting from a new post-graduate teaching program sponsored by see JAMAICA I page 4 the Notre Dame Club of Jamaica, educating students during a year long program.

  • The First Pro Bowl Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 4 (1990) The First Pro Bowl Game by Fred R. Crawford The game was conceived by George P. Marshall, the Washington Redskins owner, and sponsored by the Los Angeles Times Charities. Pitting the league champion New York Giants against a collection of the NFL’s finest and five members from two independent Pacific coast teams was a novel idea. Played on January 15, 1939, in old Wrigley Field, a baseball park, before a crowd of an estimated 20,000 fans (30,000 had been expected but with poor weather conditions attendance was low). The game was typical of football in the 1930’s, punting on third down, scoring teams receiving the following kickoff, and a few breaks deciding the outcome of the game. The teams struggled between the 30-yard lines for most of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Giant fullback John (Bull) Karcis intercepted a Cecil Isbell pass on the All-Star 35-yard line and returned it to the All-Star 13. Two running plays and an incomplete pass forced the Giants into settling for a 19-yard field goal by Len Barnum. Giants 3 All-Stars 0. Late in the second quarter the All-Stars started a drive from their own 35 yard line with Ed Goddard running and passing along with John Drake's running, the All-Stars worked the ball to the Giants 19 yard line. Three plays failed to gain yardage and Ernie Smith kicked a 25-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the half.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • TIMELINE of YALE FOOTBALL Updated As of February 2018
    TIMELINE OF YALE FOOTBALL Updated as of February 2018 Oct. 31, 1872 David Schley Schaff, Elliot S. Miller, Samuel Elder and other members of the class of 1873 call a meeting of the Yale student body. From it emerges the Yale Football Association, the first formal entity to govern the game at Yale. Schaff is elected president and team captain. Nov. 16, 1872 With faculty approval, Yale meets Columbia, the nearest football-playing college, at Hamilton Park in New Haven. The game is essentially soccer with 20-man sides, played on a field 400 by 250 feet. Yale wins 3-0, Tommy Sherman scoring the first goal and Lew Irwin the other two. Nov. 15, 1873 Yale and Princeton inaugurate what will become Yale’s longest rivalry. Princeton wins 3 goals to 0. Nov. 13, 1875 Yale and Harvard meet for the first time at Hamilton Park. The game is played under the so-called “concessionary rules”—15 players on a side and running with the ball permitted as in rugby, a round ball and only goals counting as in soccer. A crowd of 2,000 pays 50 cents a head—twice the normal price for a Yale game—to watch Harvard win 4-0. 1880 Walter Camp, in his third year as Yale’s delegate at the Intercollegiate Football Association rules convention, persuades the meeting to accept 11-man, rather than 15-man, sides. He also replaces rugby’s scrum with the scrimmage, which “takes place when the holder of the ball…puts it down on the ground in front of him and puts it in play by snapping it back with his foot.” Nov.

  • Coach Steve Owen: the Great Innovator
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996) COACH STEVE OWEN: THE GREAT INNOVATOR By Stan Grosshandler, et.al. (Originally published in part in Football Digest) Professional football has advanced from a simple to complex game. To a great extent, this is due to the imaginative genius of the coaches. In the early years the innovators were George Halas, Curly Lambeau, Greasy Neale and Jimmy Conzelman. Later Paul Brown and Vince Lombardi came along. Today [ed.: 1970s] we have Tom Landry, Don Shula, Hank Stram and George Allen to mention a few. Seldom mentioned; yet one of the great innovators of all time is Steve Owen, for 23 years the guiding genius of the New York Giants. Stout Steve came up with innovations like the A-formation and the Umbrella Defense. These were not only catchy names, but effective weapons. The Giants under Owen won eight division and two league championships. What is even more remarkable about Owen is that he stressed defense when few of his contemporaries did. His kind of football began with blocking and tackling. "Football is a game played down in the dirt and it always will be. There's no use getting fancy about it." Often criticized by Giants fans as ultra-conservative, he may have been the first NFL coach to elect to kick off to start a game. He often chose to go for a sure field goal rather than gamble for a touchdown, and that further upset New York rooters. Eventually, however, the rest of the league came around to his way of thinking.

Sure, the old championship polls were bogus -- but the current system is just as bogus, and it doesn't even give fans anything to argue about. By: Allen Barra Nov. 29, 2001 | Everyone, I guess, assumes that the way things were when they were growing up is the norm, the way things ought to be. I'm that way, too, at least about college football. To many of my friends in the Northeast, college football means the Yale-Harvard game or Princeton–Cornell, or the game they turn on before dinner is ready on Thanksgiving. For people in the West, it's Cal-Stanford or USC-UCLA, or again, whatever precedes the turkey. If they watch the college championship on or near Jan. 2, it isn't because they have followed the teams all season or even know who is playing; they simply regard it as the less professional version of the Super Bowl. In the world they grew up in, college football is a mere appendage to the pro game, one that has a bit of snob appeal because it's played on college campuses (though this has lessened over the last couple of decades as some kind of college education has become accessible to nearly everyone).
