1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen
Building a Champion: 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen BUILDING A CHAMPION: 1920 AKRON PROS By Ken Crippen It’s time to dig deep into the archives to talk about the first National Football League (NFL) champion. In fact, the 1920 Akron Pros were champions before the NFL was called the NFL. In 1920, the American Professional Football Association was formed and started play. Currently, fourteen teams are included in the league standings, but it is unclear as to how many were official members of the Association. Different from today’s game, the champion was not determined on the field, but during a vote at a league meeting. Championship games did not start until 1932. Also, there were no set schedules. Teams could extend their season in order to try and gain wins to influence voting the following spring. These late-season games were usually against lesser opponents in order to pad their win totals. To discuss the Akron Pros, we must first travel back to the century’s first decade. Starting in 1908 as the semi-pro Akron Indians, the team immediately took the city championship and stayed as consistently one of the best teams in the area. In 1912, “Peggy” Parratt was brought in to coach the team. George Watson “Peggy” Parratt was a three-time All-Ohio football player for Case Western University. While in college, he played professionally for the 1905 Shelby Blues under the name “Jimmy Murphy,” in order to preserve his amateur status. It only lasted a few weeks until local reporters discovered that it was Parratt on the field for the Blues. -

Peggy Parratt, Mvp
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 1, No. 6 (1979) Peggy Parratt PEGGY PARRATT, MVP By Milt Roberts Professional football lost its MVP when George Watson "Peggy" Parratt died at his Lakewood home in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 3, 1959. Parratt was never officially recognized as pro football's Most Valuable Player. But a study of the professional football scene in Ohio between 1905 and 1916 reveals that the myriad of valuable contributions Peggy made to professional football during those twelve struggling years eminently qualified him as the game's "Most Versatile Personality." Parratt was one of that glittering collection of gridiron stars who came to the Canton- Massillon area in 1905 and 1906 to play for pay. He had performed professionally in 1905 for Shelby and Lorain before he came to Massillon in 1906. The circumstances that found the three-time All-Ohio college star playing professional football while still playing college football at Case University in 1905 were most unusual. Parratt risked his amateur standing by playing professional ball on Sundays for the Shelby A.C., using the alias "Jimmy Murphy." Wearing a peculiar-looking helmet and nose guard, Peggy first drew notice from the Shelby press for his outstanding play against a team of college all-stars. The praise, however, was for Jimmy Murphy, not Peggy Parratt. Two weeks later, against Toledo, Jimmy Murphy again starred on defense for Shelby, but this time the Cleveland papers revealed that Murphy was really Peggy Parratt, the well-known Case University player, in disguise. The chairman of the Case University Athletic Board, Professor Arthur S. -
Pro Football Its Ups and Downs Posted on October 23, 2017 by MM
Football Findings Artifacts From The First 100 Years of American Football Pro Football Its Ups and Downs Posted on October 23, 2017 by MM Several efforts to publicize professional football were launched in the 1930s – Joe Carr, President of the NFL, had made arrangements for publication of both a “National League Football Guide and Rule Book” and a “Who’s Who in Major League Football” magazine in 1935. But the year before Dr. Harry March of the New York Giants published “Pro Football Its Ups and Downs, a “Light-hearted History of the Post-Graduate Game.” Doc March had put together the meeting between Carr and Tim Mara that resulted in the New York Giants NFL franchise being established in New York in 1925. He served as Secretary to the Giants from 1925 – 1928, and as President until 1933. Certain facts in the book have been proven wrong, but it stands as the first attempt to tell the story of professional football and contains many wonderful early team photographs. Also, from a collector’s point of view, many copies have great autographs – either they were owned by players and management or given as gifts. Here’s an ad for the book on a page of a 1934 Giants game program. This is a letter from March to Lud Wray with March’s view on how the sales of the book are going on book letterhead An inscription from Mel Hein to John Kieran, sportswriter for the New York Times This copy is inscribed by Joe Carr to Dr. J.

Honoring Joe Mccluskey by Rick Dyer, Archivist of the Manchester Road Race Committee Spoken at a Reception Celebrating Joe on Friday, May 19, 2017
Honoring Joe McCluskey By Rick Dyer, archivist of the Manchester Road Race Committee Spoken at a reception celebrating Joe on Friday, May 19, 2017 Twelve-year-old Joe McCluskey bounds out the front door and onto the porch at 40 Foster Street. There’s a canvass newspaper bag slung over his shoulder. Joe is tall and stick-figure thin. He has a shock of wavy black hair. His long legs are skinny, but his calves are as hard as coiled steel. He’s a kid with drive, ambition, and a powerful work ethic. He inherited all these traits from his Irish immigrant parents, who came to Manchester because they heard the Cheney Mills were hiring. Young Joe shoves a stack of Hartford Courant newspapers into his sack. Then he starts to run. He races down Foster Street, flipping the papers onto the doorsteps and stoops of the houses along his route. The kid never breaks stride. Every so often, he hurdles a shrub, or leaps over a picket fence, to save time as he completes his deliveries before school. That thin, determined paperboy never stopped running. He was the state mile champion at Manchester High School. He became a 13-time All-American runner at Rick Dyer, speaking at the Manchester History Center, Manchester, Fordham University. The New York City Connecticut, May 19, 2017. sportswriters nicknamed him the “Fordham Flash” and “Shufflin’ Joe.” They called him Joe, second from left, captain Shufflin’ Joe because of his unusual locked-kneed running gait, and the way his of the South Manchester arms swung from side to side as he ran. -
