Commercial TV License Museum Officials Examine Rare Religious Documents Asked by Michigan State Formal application for the allocation of a commercial television channel to East Lansing for the use of Michigan State College has been made to the Fed­ eral Communications Commission. If the channel is assigned, MSC proposes to apply immediately for a construction permit and operation license. The request was made before the FCC by President John A. Hannah, Dr. Armand L. Hunter, director of television development at MSC, and Robert J. Cole­ man, director of WKAR. The college request was an amendment to an original petition filed two years ago for a very high frequency educa­ tional channel.

  • 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.

  • Fantastic Finishes Three Weeks with the 1960 New York Titans
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 1 (1999) Fantastic Finishes Three Weeks with the 1960 New York Titans By William J. Ryczek When the AFL commenced operations in 1960, it was difficult to predict the performance of each team. The clubs had no track record, they ran hundreds of prospects through their training camps, and many players they were depending on had little or no professional experience. Prior to the start of the season, Sports Illustrated ranked the Chargers, Oilers and Patriots as the three best teams in the league, based upon their performances during the exhibition season. The Broncos and Titans were judged the weakest. Denver not only played bad, they looked bad, sporting hideous socks with broad vertical stripes. The stockings were so unattractive that Joe Pagliei, a fullback who wound up with the Titans, refused to negotiate with Denver after he saw their uniforms. “I didn’t like the way Denver’s socks looked,” he recalled. “They looked like hell. I said, ‘I’ve got big legs, they won’t look good on me.’” The Broncos lost all of their exhibition games, one to the Patriots by a 43-6 margin, and were outscored 200-53 overall. Boston was therefore established as a 16 point favorite when they played Denver in the new league’s first game on September 9. The underdog Broncos surprised everyone by taking the lead on a 76 yard punt return by Gene Mingo and a 59 yard screen pass and run from quarterback Frank Tripucka to Al Carmichael. The defense thwarted a late Patriot rally and Denver held on for a 13-10 upset win.

  • Detroit's Thanksgiving Day Tradition
    DETROIT’S THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITION It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world's bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, that's how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in 1934. That's when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification, courtesy of George A. "Dick" Richards, owner of the city's new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 75 years later, fans throughout the State of Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America’s passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit’s passion. DETROIT AND THANKSGIVING DAY No other team in professional sports can claim to be as much a part of an American holiday as can the Detroit Lions with Thanksgiving.

Box 1308, Hanford, CA 93232-1308 www.GMTGames.com 1 Introduction There are ten scenarios. The rst nine are “historical scenarios,” meaning they are studies of the Doolittle Raid in game format, beginning with small tactical fragments and culminating with the entire mission. Scenarios 1-6 are presented chronologically to study the tactical action over the targets, incorporating only the rules of Part 1 [rule sections 1.0-4.0]. Using only an 8.5” x 11” Target Map, they are brief aairs that portray each fragment of the raid. Taken collectively, the fragments combine to present the eeting but violent mission over Japan. Each scenario includes a unique Debrieng Chart (in this book), putting its fragment into a historical context and oering a glimpse of a larger narrative. If you are new to Enemy Coast Ahead: The Doolittle Raid, Scenario 1 is a good place to start [p.5, but read pages 3-4 too].
