From the Hall of Fame Archives: The 1940's All-Decade Team. See which greats, like Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Waterfield, helped forge the NFL ahead with this photographic look at the 1940's All- Decade Team. Copied! Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Waterfield runs upfield in a 70 to 27 win over the Baltimore Colts on October 22, 1950 at Los Angeles Memorial Colesium. After a rookie season in 1945 that led him to become the first rookie ever to win the league's MVP title, Waterfield continued to captain the Ram's feared offense. He was named first- or second-team All-NFL five times. One of the game's most versatile players, he was also an ace defensive back for his first four seasons, a top punter with a 42.4 yard average, and a deadly place kicker. In eight seasons he totaled 573 points on 13 touchdowns, 315 PATs and 60 field goals. He led the National Football League in passing in 1946 and 1951, finishing with career totals of 814 completions, 11,849 yards gained and 97 touchdown passes. (Photo by Vic Stein/NFL) Offensive tackle Al Wistert of the Philadelphia Eagles, circa 1940's. He played his entire nine-year NFL career for the Eagles and became their team captain. He was named to play in the NFL's first Pro Bowl as an Eagle. During most of Wistert's career there were no football All-star games although he was named to the league All-Pro team eight times.(Photo by NFL/NFL) Bruno Banducci was born in Tassignano, Italy, but moved to the US for high school and college. He was elected into the Stanford University Football Hall of Fame and selected by the combined Philadelphia/Pittsburgh team in the 1943 Draft. He went on to play guard on the San Francisco 49ers for 9 years, playing a large role in the success of their running game with his effective blocking. (Photo by Pro Football Hall of Fame) Hall of Fame halfback Bill Dudley was a first round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1942. Dudley played for 3 teams in his 9 year career. The 5-10, 182-pound halfback ran, passed, punted, and placekicked. He returned punts and kickoffs, caught passes, and was a deadly defender. The 1946 season with the Steelers was his League MVP campaign as he led the league in rushing, punt returns, interceptions, and lateral passes attempted. Never before had an NFL player led the league in four distinctly different statistical categories, and it�s not likely to happen again anytime soon. (Photo by Nate Fine/NFL) Fullback Bill Osmanski of the Chicago Bears runs upfield in a 73 to 0 victory over the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL Championship on December 8, 1940 at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. Osmanski was drafted in the 1st round (6th pick overall) of the 1939 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. The pick paid immediate dividends for the Bears as Osmanski led the NFL in rushing in 1939 with 699 yards. (Photo by Pro Football Hall Of Fame/NFL) Bill Willis, at 6-2 and 210 pounds, was small by pro football standards in 1946, yet he performed in a class by himself, particularly on defense. In the eight years he played for the Cleveland Browns from 1946 through 1953, he was a first-team All-League selection seven times and a second- team choice once. He also played in three NFL Pro Bowls. It was Bill's touchdown-saving tackle in a playoff game against the New York Giants that enabled the Browns to continue their quest for the 1950 championship their first year in the NFL after four dominating seasons in the All- America Football Conference. (Photo by Pro Football Hall Of Fame/NFL) » Video: Bill Willis retrospective. Al Blozis is featured on the program for a 1942 NFL game against the Redskins. He played offensive tackle for the Giants in 1942 and 1943 before entering the military. He was also able to play three games in 1944 while on furlough. During that time he was an outstanding performer, being chosen All-Pro, and given special acclaim for his ability to obliterate would-be kick returners in the open field. Blozis was killed in combat in France in 1945, and his number was retired by the Giants. (Pro Football Hall of Fame) Charley Brock was drafted was the Green Bay Packers in the 3rd round (24th overall) of the 1939 Draft. He went on to play center and back for 9 seasons with the Packers, and was selected to the Pro Bowl 3 times and First Team All-Pro once. (Photo by Pro Football Hall of Fame) After graduation from the University of Colorado, Byron "Whizzer" White signed with the NFL's Pittsburgh Pirates (now Steelers), playing there during the 1938 season. He took 1939 off to study at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, but returned to play for the Detroit Lions from 1940-41. In three NFL seasons, he played in 33 games. He led the league in rushing yards in 1938 and 1940. His career was cut short when he entered the US Navy during World War II; after the war, he elected to attend law school rather than returning to football. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954 and went on to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

    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.

    '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 COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 2 (1988) JACK FERRANTE: EAGLES GREAT By Richard Pagano Reprinted from Town Talk, 1/6/88 In 1933, Bert Bell and Lud Wray formed a syndicate to purchase the Frankford Yellowjackets' N.F.L. franchise. On July 9 they bought the team for $2,500. Bell named the team "The Eagles", in honor of the eagle, which was the symbol of the National Recovery Administration of the New Deal. The Eagles' first coach was Wray and Bell became Philadelphia's first general managers. In 1936, Bert Bell purchased sole ownership of the team for $4,000. He also disposed of Wray as head coach, and took on the job himself. From 1933 until 1941, the Philadelphia Eagles never had a winning season. Even Davey O'Brien, the All-American quarterback signed in 1939, could not the Eagles out of the Eastern Division cellar. Bert Bell finally sold the Eagles in 1941. He sold half the franchise to Alexis Thompson of New York. Before the season, Rooney and Bell swapped Thompson their Philadelphia franchise for his Pittsburgh franchise. The new owner hired Earle "Greasy" Neale to coach the team. In 1944, the Eagles really started winning. They finished with a record of 7-1-2 and ended the season in second place in the Eastern Division. From 1944 until 1950, the Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed their most successful years in the history of the franchise. They finished second in the Eastern Division three times and also won the Eastern Division championship three times. The Eagles played in three consecutive N.F.L.

    Mini Bio: Paul Hornung

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 2 (1991) Mini Bio: Paul Hornung Hornung was college football’s greatest star in 1956 when he was a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Notre Dame. The Green Bay Packers made him their bonus selection in the 1957 draft. But for two years he struggled as he was shuffled ineffectively between quarterback and halfback by the inept Packers. When Vince Lombardi arrived as coach of the Pack in 1959, he handed Hornung the left halfback position – a key slot in Lombardi’s offense. The change in Hornung was incredible. The 6-2, 220-pound blond became a pro superstar with his all-around play, excelling as a runner, receiver, blocker, kicker and team leader. He had a “nose for the end zone.” After leading the NFL in scoring with 94 points in 1959, he broke all records with 176 in 1960 and followed with 146 in ’61. He was twice league MVP. At his best in big games, Hornung set a playoff record with 19 points in the 1961 Championship Game while on weekend leave from the army. Green Bay’s “Golden Boy” was known for his high-living lifestyle, and he was suspended for the 1963 season for gambling problems. In 1964, he returned to score 107 points for the Pack. He finished his career with 62 touchdowns and 760 points scored. Mini Bio: Ken Houston Houston was a linebacker at Prairie View A&M, but the Houston Oilers drafted him on the ninth round in 1967 to play safety. It was a great choice.
