  • Millikin in the Pros
    Millikin in the Pros Twenty-six former Millikin University players have enjoyed professional football careers in the NFL, CFL, European and Areana football leagues. Eight of them played in the Chicago Bears organization, including six on the 1920 Staley team that was the forerunner of the present Bears franchise. Enjoying the most distinguished professional careers of the former Big Blue were Pro Football Hall of Famer George Musso and Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Virgil Wagner. Musso, a 1982 Hall of Fame inductee, played 12 seasons with the Bears (1933-44) and earned All-Pro honors at tackle and guard–the first player to be recognized at two positions. He served as Chicago's captain when the Bears were known as the "Monsters of the Midway." Wagner, who played halfback and cornerback, was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 1980 following a nine-year career (1946-54) with the Montreal Alouettes. He led the CFL in scoring his first four seasons, scored a league-record 79 career touchdowns and was a five-time all-league selection. The most recent NFL signee is Michael Marker, a wide receiver who graduated in 2003. Marker, signed with the Green Bay Packers in December 2004. Eric Smith, a 1997 graduate and two-time CCIW selection at tight end, signed a two-year free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers in May 1998. Recent players Chris Katzmark, Ryan Bailey, Donnell Brown, Mike Kohl and Joe Hyland are playing or have played in European leagues. Katzmark (WR, 2007 graduate) and Bailey (DL, 2008 graduate), signed contracts with Finland's Kouvola Indians in 2008.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

The highlights are a reduction in rosters to 14 players per team, an increase in the entry fee to $25, only 4 teams making the playoffs from each conference, and expansion. We are adding 4 new teams to the league, two in each conference. The expansion teams throw a couple of new wrinkles into the league. First, we will have to realign the divisions in each conference; we are going to 3 divisions of 4 teams each. Also, there will be an additional expansion draft after all teams have protected their players. More later. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at (319) 425-5421.
