The author takes you “inside” throught the eyes of the referee, with issues one can not get any other way.

  • Jackie Robinson: Pro Football Prelude
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 3 (1987) JACKIE ROBINSON: PRO FOOTBALL PRELUDE By Bob Gill Jackie Robinson was probably the most significant athlete of the 20th Century. For at least two years, 1946 and '47, his every action, on the field and off, was subject to public scrutiny, the pressure of which very few men could have withstood. Even after the first few years, when the "novelty" of Robinson's position had worn off somewhat, he was still a figure of supreme symbolic importance. As a result, Robinson's life from the moment he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers has been chronicled, justifiably, in great detail. It is often noted that Robinson was uniquely qualified to break baseball's color line because at UCLA, playing with whites, he had excelled at three sports and been accepted as a player and a person. But most people are unaware that before Jackie Robinson broke into organized baseball he was already a veteran of two seasons in an integrated pro football league. The league was the PCPFL, or Pacific Coast Pro Football League. It was similar in status to baseball's Pacific Coast League – that is, technically a very strong minor league, but because of its geographical distance from the major leagues, functioning much as a major league in its own right. Particularly during World War II, when many NFL players were in the service, stationed on the West Coast, the PCPFL was genuinely top-notch. There was, however, one important difference between baseball and football on the Pacific Coast: the football league allowed blacks to play.

After winning six of the National Football League’s first 24 championships, the Packers won only 55 games, while losing 107 and tying 3, from 1945 through 1958. No wonder that Packer fans dwelt on the past, and the great legends of the past—Canadeo, Hutson, Herber, Hubbard, Hinkle, Dilweg, Lewellen, Isbell, Michalske, Lambeau. But the greatest legend of all was Johnny Blood, because he was not only a great football player, but also a colorful, flamboyant personality off the field. (His one-time teammate and fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Clarke Hinkle, once said, “Next to Johnny Blood, Joe Namath looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy.”) I grew up in Green Bay during that period and, by the time I was thirteen and thinking of becoming a writer, I knew that someday I wanted to write a book about this legendary charac- ter.
