  • '39 PACKERS ONE of GREEN BAY's GREATEST TEAMS by Stanley Grosshandler (Originally Published in Pro Football Digest)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) '39 PACKERS ONE OF GREEN BAY'S GREATEST TEAMS by Stanley Grosshandler (Originally published in Pro Football Digest) You are right about the 1939 Packers. They were really one of the great ball clubs," replied Clarke Hinkle when asked what was the greatest Green Bay club he had ever played on. The Packers started playing pro ball in 1919; and while they produced 11 World Champions, the most outstanding have been Curly Lambeau's teams of 1929 and 1939 and the Vince Lombardi club of 1962. "I joined the Packers in 1932," recalled Hinkle, a Hall of Fame fullback, "and we had a fine club that year. There were fellows like Dilweg, Earpe, Blood, Hubbard, Michalske, Lewellen, and Herber. We ended with a 10-3-1 record, yet they awarded the title to the Bears on a ridiculous record of 7 wins, 1 loss, and 6 ties. "Our '39 bunch was very versatile. We had four good punters in Arnie Herber, Cecil Isbell, Frank Balaz, and myself; four placement kickers with Tiny Engebretsen, Don Hutson, Ernie Smith, and yours truly; and two of the greatest passers in football history - Cecil Isbell and Arnie Herber. "While there were 33 players on the roster, we relied on 16 men who played a lot of the 60 minutes of each game. "These 16 fellows stayed healthy through a tough 11-game schedule. What contributed to our success? We had an intense desire to get the job done, pride and loyalty to the team and supreme confidence that we could win".

  • The Day the Sun Died: September 1950, Erie's Pro Football Team, and Doomsday Theology
    Quick, Timely Reads On the Waterfront The Day the Sun Died: September 1950, Erie’s Pro Football Team, and Doomsday Theology By David Frew June 2021 Dr. David Frew, a prolific writer, author, and speaker, grew up on Erie's lower west side as a proud "Bay Rat," joining neighborhood kids playing and marauding along the west bayfront. He has written for years about his beloved Presque Isle and his adventures on the Great Lakes. In this series, the JES Scholar-in-Residence takes note of of life in and around the water. The mid-afternoon sky in Bradford, Pennsylvania, southeast of Erie. (Illustration courtesy of the Bradford Landmark Society) For two years, 1949 and 1950, Erie, Pennsylvania had a professional football team. The team was called the Erie Vets, and true to its name, several players were World Wat II veterans. Coached by a young Lou Tullio, who’d later go on to become Erie’s six-term mayor, the Vets played two full seasons with games scheduled at today’s Veterans Stadium on 26th and State streets. According to my father, who was a huge fan, the Vets were fearsome because of their toughness and fearlessness. Instead of being composed entirely of young men who had recently graduated from college, like most of the other teams in the league, the Erie Vets were powered by mature men who had experienced the war as part of Erie’s internationally famous “Fighting 28th, the local reserve unit that had landed at Normandy (second wave), marched across Europe chasing the German Army, liberated France, and won the Battle of the Bulge." The Fighting 28th marches into Paris Erie’s Fighting 28th, also known as the Bloody Bucket Brigade, was a reserve unit headquartered at the recently restored Armory on East Sixth Street.

  • Arnie Herber
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 6, No. 7 (1984) ARNIE HERBER By Don Smith Among most sports historians, Sammy Baugh, who hit bulls-eyes for the Washington Redskins for 16 seasons from 1937 through 1952, is considered to be the single most important individual in transforming pro football from an infantry-attack type of game to the pass-punctuated crowd-pleasing spectacle it is today. To be sure, it is difficult to dispute the “pathfinder” tag placed on the lanky Texan for “Slinging Sammy” without question did shape a permanent new offensive dimension for pro football. Baugh, however, was not the first National Football League star to fill the air with his forward passes and to use that weapon with game-winning effectiveness. Many will contend that signal honor belongs to Arnie Herber, who toiled for the Green Bay Packers from 1930 to 1940 and then wound up a brilliant career with the 1944 and 1945 New York Giants. There is plenty of documentary evidence to back up this contention. The NFL did not keep detailed statistics until 1932 and no individual figure champions were named during Herber’s first two seasons in 1930 and 1931. But Arnie did win the league’s first pitching crown in 1932 and then added two more in the next four years. Thus, the Green Bay ace was already a three-time passing champion by the time Baugh burst upon the pro football scene at the start of Herber’s eighth pro season. During his decade with the Green Bay eleven, the Packers were annual challengers for the league championship.
