  • Mcafee Takes a Handoff from Sid Luckman (1947)
    by Jim Ridgeway George McAfee takes a handoff from Sid Luckman (1947). Ironton, a small city in Southern Ohio, is known throughout the state for its high school football program. Coach Bob Lutz, head coach at Ironton High School since 1972, has won more football games than any coach in Ohio high school history. Ironton High School has been a regular in the state football playoffs since the tournament’s inception in 1972, with the school winning state titles in 1979 and 1989. Long before the hiring of Bob Lutz and the outstanding title teams of 1979 and 1989, Ironton High School fielded what might have been the greatest gridiron squad in school history. This nearly-forgotten Tiger squad was coached by a man who would become an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns, general manager of the Buffalo Bills and the second director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The squad featured three brothers, two of which would become NFL players, in its starting eleven. One of the brothers would earn All-Ohio, All-American and All-Pro honors before his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. This story is a tribute to the greatest player in Ironton High School football history, his family, his high school coach and the 1935 Ironton High School gridiron squad. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the undefeated and untied Ironton High School football team featuring three players with the last name of McAfee. It was Ironton High School’s first perfect football season, and the school would not see another such gridiron season until 1978.

  • Rote & Blanda: Tale of 2
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 3 (1994) ROTE & BLANDA: TALE OF 2 QBS Birth of the AFL in 1960 changed the course of two careers By Bob Gill Any reasonably attentive sports fan is aware that chance can play a significant role in a player's career. An injury can give a backup his big break, while bringing a veteran's career to a premature end. A star's ill-timed holdout can be another player's ticket to fame and fortune. And so on - it happens every season. Usually, breaks like these benefit rookies or younger players who haven't had a chance at a regular job. But one of the most interesting "right-place-at-the-right-time" stories involves a pair of ten-year veterans whose places in football history were determined after their NFL careers ended. It happened in the 1960s, and the players involved were a couple of pretty fair quarterbacks: George Blanda and Tobin Rote. But let's start at the beginning ... Blanda broke in with the Bears in 1949, but the 12th-round draft choice saw little action behind Johnny Lujack and aging Sid Luckman. He played even less at QB for the next two years, throwing only one pass and spending most of his time as a linebacker and kicker. Meanwhile, Rote had been taken by the Packers in the second round of the 1950 draft and suffered through a tough rookie season, throwing a league-high 24 interceptions. Facing a challenge from a talented passer named Bobby Thomason in 1951, he improved his passing stats and really shone as a runner, leading the team with 523 yards and leading the league with an average of 6.9 yards per carry.

  • Passer Ratings
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 9 (1986) BUCKING THE SYSTEM OR, WHY THE NFL CAN'T FIND HAPPINESS WITH ITS PASSER RATINGS By Bob Carroll If you believe in your heart of hearts that Warren Moon is a better passer than Otto Graham, you're at one with the National Football League. Never mind that Graham is a card-carrying member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a quarterback who led the Cleveland Browns to seven league championships in ten seasons, while Moon is the oft-booed signal-caller for one of the NFL's least successful franchises. According to the National Football League's Passer Rating System, Moon tossed for a 68.5 mark last season; Graham, in 1950 – a year his Cleveland Browns won the NFL Championship, could manage only a paltry 64.7. That makes it official; Warren is 3.8 better than "Automatic Otto." Has George Orwell become an NFL flack? Is this reality or newspeak? More! In the gospel according to the NFL, Dan Marino is the best passer ever. Until this year, Joe Montana was. A couple of other top ten performers: Danny White, the guy who made Dallas forget Roger Staubach, and Neil Lomax, whose success in St. Louis has made him a legend. And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. Well, it all depends, you say. Actually, it DOESN'T rain (or snow) inside the Hoosier Dome during any part of the calendar year, and Marino, Montana, White, and Lomax ARE good – maybe great – passers. But, are they THAT good? The much-maligned NFL Way of Rating Passers places some present throwers at the top of the Hurler Heap and consigns such clutzes as Sid Luckman, Johnny Unitas, Y.A.

  • The White, Night Football
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 2 (1999) The White, Night Football by Alan Ross It was nocturnal by nature. It once scored 73 points in a game. It was thrown by the likes of Sid Luckman and Otto Graham. It had been caught by Dante Lavelli, carried by Steve Van Buren, and returned by Charley Trippi. Like owls and bats, it only came out at night. It was white. The white, night football — with one black circle on each end; similar in every respect to its daylight contemporary, the prolate spheroid of traditional pigskin tone and character. One of its renowned tossers, Luckman of the famed Chicago Bears’ “Monsters of the Midway” teams, says that its inception lies with George Halas, the father of pro football. “Oh, George was the boss,” confirms Luckman, the legendary quarterback who along with Halas perfected the innovative T formation that revolutionized football back in the late ’30s. “In fact, he talked with me one time about it. I said, 'Gee, that sounds like a great thing for the spectators.' And actually, it really was –– to see a white ball going through the sky.” Despite Luckman’s enthusiastic support of Halas as the originator of the white ball, an account from Monsignor Ignatius McDermott, a legend in Chicago for his unflagging work with the homeless, indicates otherwise. Msgr. McDermott, at the 50th Anniversary reunion of the 1947 world champion Chicago Cardinals, vividly described instances in the early-to-mid 1920s when the Cardinals, under original owner and founder Chris O’Brien, would hold evening practices at the South Side’s old Sherman Park after players got off from work.

  • 1940: the Triumph of the T
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) 1940: THE TRIUMPH OF THE T By Bob Carroll The United States ended World War II with the biggest explosions ever seen on the planet up to then -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For pro football, the decade began with the biggest explosion ever on an NFL field -- the Chicago Bears' 73-0 blasting of the Washington Redskins. In the great scheme of things, happenings on a hundred-yard field may be of little importance compared to the events of a World War, but to a football fanatic the year 1940 is of crucial importance to the development of their game. The Bears' one-sided win led to the eventual triumph of the T-formation in all its guises as the premier attacking system. Once the lethal qualities of the T had been so thoroughly demonstrated by Chicago, other teams began redesigning their offenses. The switch was not accomplished overnight -- the Pittsburgh Steelers held onto their single-wing attack until 1952 and a few college teams still resisted the T into the 1960s. But by the end of the war in 1945, the T had clearly become the dominant method of moving a football. The T-formation lent itself to passing far better than the old wing attacks. The quarterback who began every play was the key man. By turning his back to the line of scrimmage as soon as he got the snap, the quarterback hid what he was going to do with the football from the defense. He might hand-off or pitch- out, and that froze the defenses long enough for him to spot a receiver and throw to him.

    29 1947 packerscentury.com packerscentury.com 1947 _______________________ Record: 6-5-1 3rd Place - Western Division Coach: Curly Lambeau • Lee Joannes, Packer President since 1930, stepped down and he was replaced by Emil R. Fischer. • Lambeau fired George W. Calhoun the co-founder of the franchise. Calhoun had served as the team’s public relations director, record keeper, and all-around Packer-backer since 1919. He was replaced by George Strickler, formerly of the Chicago Tribune. • Disappointment was building after third-place finishes in 1945 and 1946. Though 1947 was slightly better, it was the last season above .500 until 1959. • Lambeau changed his offense from the single-wing to the “T” formation. The Packers scored 126 more points than in 1946, but they still struggled to replace Cecil Isbell and Don Hutson. The defense gave up the fewest points in the league and intercepted 30 passes. • Three straight losses in November left them 4-4-1 and out of contention. A third-place finish again. Rumors swirled about Curly Lambeau leaving Green Bay for the West Coast. • Vivian Scherf-Laabs, Member, Packer FAN Hall of Fame * One of this Hall of Fame Member’s first memories about becoming a Packers fan was in 1947. Vivian remembers being huddled around the radio listening intently to a game with her twin brother, Stewart. After one game, Vivian knew she was hooked. Now she’s in the Packer FAN Hall of Fame!! * Interview: 5/12/1 CHICAGO BEARS 20 9.28.1947 PACKERS 29 Yes! This was game #55 between the rivals – #56 if you count the 1941 playoff game.
