  • Hinkey Haines: the Giants' First Superstar
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 2 (1982) HINKEY HAINES: THE GIANTS' FIRST SUPERSTAR By C.C. Staph Oh Hinkey Haines, oh Hinkey Haines! The New York Giants' football brains. He never loses, always gains. Oh Hinkey Haines, oh Hinkey Haines! -- anonymous New York sportswriter, 1926 Hinkey Haines was one of those running backs who blaze across the NFL sky for only a short time, yet burn so brightly that they are honored long after their last touchdown. Gale Sayers is a recent example; George McAfee was another. Haines completed his playing career before the league began keeping statistics. As a consequence, he is remembered not for huge yardage totals but for brilliant individual performances. During his short but spectacular career, he put together enough outstanding plays to be ranked with Grange, Driscoll, and Nevers as one of the great runners of his time. He was a phenomenal breakaway runner, famous for his speed. Bob Folwell, the New York Giants' first coach, insisted that in his twenty years of coaching he had never seen a faster man on the gridiron than Haines. If he were playing today, he would almost surely be turned into a wide receiver. Even in those rather pass-sparse days, Hinkey scored several of his most spectacular touchdowns on passes. On punt and kickoff returns, he was deadly. He joined the Giants in 1925 at the comparatively ripe age of 26. For four years, he was the toast of New York. He put in one more season with the Staten Island Stapletons and then retired. He was lured back in 1931 as player-coach of the Stapes, but, at 32, he played only sparingly.

  • Statistical Leaders of the ‘20S
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 2 (1992) Statistical Leaders of the ‘20s By Bob GIll Probably the most ambitious undertaking in football research was David Neft’s effort to re-create statistics from contemporary newspaper accounts for 1920-31, the years before the NFL started to keep its own records. Though in a sense the attempt had to fail, since complete and official stats are impossible, the results of his tireless work provide the best picture yet of the NFL’s formative years. Since the stats Neft obtained are far from complete, except for scoring records, he refrained from printing yearly leaders for 1920-31. But it seems a shame not to have such a list, incomplete though it may be. Of course, it’s tough to pinpoint a single leader each year; so what follows is my tabulation of the top five, or thereabouts, in passing, rushing and receiving for each season, based on the best information available – the stats printed in Pro Football: The Early Years and Neft’s new hardback edition, The Football Encyclopedia. These stats can be misleading, because one man’s yardage total will be based on, say, five complete games and four incomplete, while another’s might cover just 10 incomplete games (i.e., games for which no play-by-play accounts were found). And then some teams, like Rock Island, Green Bay, Pottsville and Staten Island, often have complete stats, based on play-by-plays for every game of a season. I’ll try to mention variations like that in discussing each year’s leaders – for one thing, “complete” totals will be printed in boldface.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Perfect Tackle: the Career of Hall of Famer Pete Henry
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 5 (2005) The Perfect Tackle: The Career of Hall of Famer Pete Henry By Chris Willis “Tackles will come and tackles will go, but never will professional football enthusiasts of Canton (Ohio) ever see the peer of Wilbur Henry, 247-pounder, resident of Mansfield, graduate of Washington-Jefferson College at Washington, Pa., and a member of Canton Bulldogs teams for the last three campaigns in which he has played every game. Though he never would be able to qualify as a matinee idol, the Richland-co. individual stands out as the greatest tackle in football today- bar none, as the prohibitionists say.”-- Canton Repository, 1922. In the early years of the National Football League, most newspaper headlines- if they wrote about the NFL- were usually reserved for the exploits of fleet-footed halfbacks or bruising fullbacks scoring touchdowns. But in Canton, Ohio where the Canton Bulldogs were kings, the headlines seemed to be written about a very popular and highly gifted tackle, who was nicknamed “Fats,” who might’ve been the most talented player in the NFL. Wilbur Francis Henry was born on October 31, 1897 in the small town of Mansfield, Ohio, as the only child to Ulysses and Bertha Henry. While growing up the name Wilbur didn’t stick for very long and the Ohio kid was simply called “Pete,” the name he was called for the rest of his life. Pete gained a big appetite for food while living on the family farm and the rotund boy would use his size to become a great athlete.

  • The Anthracite Football League
    PFRA ANNUAL 1987 (No. 8) THE ANTHRACITE FOOTBALL LEAGUE By Joe Zagorski The hills and mountains of the coal region of Northeastern Pennsylvania are alive with history. One particular moment of coal region history, however, has passed nearly into oblivion. In an area of the country where pro football took center stage during the golden age of sports, a new league was born in 1924 that grabbed the spotlight for a brief moment, then relinquished it to the future. The Anthracite Football League was formed not by the hardened coal that supplied its name, but by a strong desire to set a handful of teams on a smoother organizational path. It lasted only one season, and was considered by many to be a success for even less time than that. Nevertheless, it provided something different for the fans, and everyone agreed that it made a difference in the game. The Anthracite League was conceived by a group of people who attempted, in a somewhat feeble way, to imitate the five-year-old National Football League. With the coal region teams, as well as with the NFL teams of a half- decade earlier, player raiding was running rampant, and a poorly designed scheduling system left game day matters in utter disarray. Moreover, the secret buying of assorted ringers (several of whom could produce, even guarantee, victory) made keeping a steady lineup almost impossible. The pro game in Schuylkill County was in desperate need of some common-sense organization and standardized rules to live by. The Pottsville Republican provided the first sign that such elements were about to play a part in the game when it editorialized during the latter part of August that local pro football was in a heap of trouble.

  • 1922 All-Pros
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 7 (1983) 1922 ALL-PROS by John Hogrogian An unbroken string of All-Pro teams stretches from 1922 to now. It was in 1922 that the loose American Professional Football Association became the National Football League, a tighter organization destined to endure. Two of the NFL's leading figures memorialized the debut season with All-Pro selections. George Halas picked a team which appeared in several mid- western newspapers. As a fine end, coach and co-owner of the Chicago Bears, and an influential voice in league affairs, Halas already had a reputation as an expert on pro football. first team second team E- Guy Chamberlin, Can E- Eddie Anderson, ChiC E- Luke Urban, Buf E- Tillie Voss, RI T- Wilbur Henry, Can T- Russ Hathaway, Day T- Hugh Blacklock, ChiB T- Fred Gillies, ChiC G- Herb Stein, Tol G- Hunk Anderson, ChiB G- Ed Healey, RI-ChiB G- Al Nesser, Akr C- Joe Alexander, Roc C- Jim Flower, Akr Q- Tommy Hughitt, Buf Q- Benny Boynton, Roch H- Paddy Driscoll, ChiC H- Dutch Sternaman, ChiB H- Pete Stinchcomb, ChiB H- Curly, Lambeau F- Rip King, Akr F- Jim Laird, Buf Sources: Green Bay Press Gazette, December 16, 1922; Columbus Dispatch, December 17, 1922; Dayton Journal, December 19, 1922; Canton Daily News, December 19, 1922 (first team only) One surprising aspect of Halas' selections is the appearance of only two Canton players, Guy Chamberlin and Wilbur Henry, despite the Bulldogs' undefeated championship season. Another 1922 honor roll was chosen by Guy Chamberlin, star end and coach of the Bulldogs.

    The Professional Football Researchers Association A Few More Loose Ends 1922 By PFRA Research Bill Harley was at the Cleveland meeting, still looking for a Chicago Halas and Sternaman ran afoul of the clause at the June meeting. franchise. He figured that with the Bears playing at Cub Park They'd offered Paddy Driscoll of the Cardinals a share in their (Wrigley Field) and the Cardinals at Normal Park, he could finagle Bears, and all he had to do was bring his exceptional talents to the a franchise to play in Comiskey Park. President Carr took it under Bruin backfield. Everybody liked the idea except Chris O'Brien of advisement. He probably gave it twenty or thirty seconds' the Cards, who really had very little going for his team except consideration before deciding that three teams in Chicago was one Driscoll. The motion was made, seconded and passed that "the too many. management of the Chicago Bears be notified that `Paddy' Driscoll is the property of the Chicago Cardinals and shall not be tampered An oddity of the Cleveland meeting was that no Cleveland with until he receives his release from the Cardinals." Driscoll didn't franchise operated in 1922.
