  • '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".

Before you say all that is available other places, let me tell you the part of this site that interests me and then ask you for a big favor. The first part of the site is devoted to pre-NFL years – 1910-19. This includes major teams like the 1917 Canton Bulldogs and 1914 Evanston North Ends as well as semi-semi pros like the 1912 Beloit Iroquois A.C. and the 1916 Hartford City A.A. Many of the major teams are nearly complete, but the little teams that you never heard of have lots of blanks. Now here’s the big favor. Look at the yearly team lists for 1910-19 and see if there were teams listed from your town. If you find one or more, see * * * * what’s missing. (In many cases it’s all but one or two games of a team’s schedule.) Now go to your local library (or wherever microfilm of your local newspaper is kept) and start checking game accounts. See how many of the blanks – date, site, THE COFFIN CORNER opponents, score, attendance – you can fill in.

  • Fordham Football
    FORDHAM FOOTBALL Season of ig3j A REFERENCE BROCHURE FOR College 1947 Edited by TIMOTHY COHANE Director of Sports Pitblicity FORDHAM UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK, N. Y. The Prospects HE ideal football squad has excellent regulars and reserves for all positions. A T college player cannot be termed excellent unless he possesses both ability and ex­ perience. Investigate the potentialities of the 1937 Fordham University varsity football squad as measured by these norms and a sensible appraisal of the Maroon's chances against Franklin and Marshall, Waynesburg, Pittsburgh, Texas Christian, North Carolina, Purdue, St. Mary's and New York University may be arrived at. Left end Leo Paquin, left tackle Edmund Franco, left guard Nathaniel Pierce, center Alexander Wojciechowicz, right guard Vincent Lombardi, right tackle Albert Babartsky and right end John Druze constituted the 1936 Fordham line. They called these young men the "Seven Blocks of Granite" and although the public ridiculed their stature after the debacle of last Thanksgiving Day, when a glorious N. Y. U. team effected a startling upset, they certainly were deserving of that metaphorical tribute. Did they not throw back a Southern Methodist attack that completed seventeen out of fifty one forward passes without gaining a score ? Were not the Galloping Gaels of St. Mary's prevented from registering a first down either on the ground or in the air ? Did not the mighty Pittsburgh Panther, who ripped and clawed the lines of Notre Dame, Nebraska and Washington, falter and fail in the Polo Grounds? Were not John Drake and Cecil Isbell, of Purdue, a broken duet when they left the field to the "Granites" ? Georgia gained a 7-7 tie but the forty-three yards that the Bulldogs made along the ground could not engender a touchdown.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 4 (1982) the ERA of HUTSON
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 4 (1982) THE ERA OF HUTSON The following article (submitted by P.F.R.A. member Jim Stewart) appeared in the Sept. 29, 1957, program for the Packers-Bears game. The Green Bay Packers' championship clubs during the Era of Don Hutson may have lacked some of the flamboyant color of the Triple Champions of 1929-31 but they had one thing the earlier kings didn't enjoy. They had Hutson. Not that the titlists of 1936, 1939 and 1944 were one-man teams. If anything, both the '36 and '39 clubs were probably better balanced and more powerful than their championship predecessors. Even without Hutson, they would have been powerhouses. With him they were great. When the Pack hit the glory road again in 1936 it was an almost entirely new cast of characters. Only holdovers from the previous era were Johnny Blood, Arnie Herber, Hank Bruder and Milt Gantenbein. It was, however, an experienced club, solidly blended of veterans and promising rookies, of which Hutson represented the key to greatness. Blood hadn't changed much and was still up to his old tricks, but he almost sat this one out, being a holdout until the season was well under way. Herber had blossomed into the finest forward passer in the game, and Gantenbein had more than fulfilled his earlier promise. Hard Luck Hank Bruder, free of his college jinx, had become one of the most durable and reliable backs in the business. The big forward wall had changed too. Bud Svendsen anchored the center of a rugged front line, backed by Frank Butler and Tony Paulekas, while a trio of burly veterans -- Ernie Smith, Champ Seibold and Ade Schwammel -- held down the tackle slots.
