    The Staten Island Stapletons

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 6 (1985) THE STATEN ISLAND STAPLETONS By John Hogrogian Special thanks to N.F.L. Properties, Inc. for permission to publish this article. Trollies rolled down Broadway and Calvin Coolidge was president when the NFL came to New York City in 1925. In the years since Tim Mara founded the Giants, NFL teams have made their home in each of the City's five boroughs. The Giants played in the Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan through 1955, then moved to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx through 1973. The Brooklyn Dodgers football team thrived in Ebbets Field during the 1930s and 1940s. The Jets made their home in Shea Stadium in Queens from 1964 until recently. And, in the sleepiest of the boroughs, the Staten Island Stapletons played NFL ball from 1929 through 1932. The Stapes struggled through life on a shoestring, but helped keep the NFL afloat as it fought for life in the Depression. The Stapes started out in 1915, five years before the NFL was born in the midwest. Dan Blaine, a good halfback and a native of the working-class neighborhood known as Stapleton, along with three other players formed the team to play other semi-pro squads from New York and New Jersey. The Stapes played more for fun than money. Just as well: crowds were small; salaries averaged $10 per game. Nevertheless, they managed to do well, winning several local semi-pro titles before World War I. After military service, Blaine took over sole ownership in 1919. Blaine himself prospered in the 1920s.

What most do not see is precisely at the triangular confluence of West Post Road and Maple Avenue. Can’t guess? It is one of two outdoor World War I Monuments in White Plains (the other being located in Tibbits Park on North Broadway). The monument’s visibility has been diminished over the years, after its original structure was demolished, and then later due to the overgrowth of shrubs. But as we prepare for the 100th Anniversary of the United States entering World War I, the White Plains Historical Society is working to increase the visibility and awareness of a memorial commemorating the ultimate sacrifice made by young men from White Plains during what was supposed to be “the war to end all wars.” World War I commenced with major hostilities in Europe in August 1914. The United States did not formally enter the war on the side of the Allies until April 6, 1917. The war ended with the armistice of November 11, 1918.

    Local Connection -/ A December 11, 2003 North Brunswick ° South Brunswick get a face BY CHARLES W. KIM SUH Wi iter outh Brunswick voters supported the school district's $46 million building plan on Tuesday. "I want to thank everyone who voted for this," Board of Education member Barry Nathanson said Tuesday night. Voters approved the plan by a vote of 1,488 to 809, including absentee ballots. Pools were open in the township from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with about 11 percent of the township's reg- istered voters casting ballots. "I think wo did a good job of getting the word out and getting 11 percent," said Nathanson, who is also on the board's facilities committee. According to the -township clerk, 2,270 voters out of a registered 19,625 voted Tuesday. The plan will upgrade the district's older ele- mentary schools and renovate the two middle schools to keep up with spiraling enrollment, according to officials. According to the district's most recent projec- tions, there will be 257 more students than seats next year, and that figure will rise to a deficit of 581 seats by the 2007-08 school year. As a short-term solution, the district is using portable classroom trailers to house the overflow.

    The Team That Time Forgot the Final Season of the Staten Island Stapletons

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 5 (1990) The Team That Time Forgot The Final Season of the Staten Island Stapletons By Bob Gill EDITOR’S NOTE: In a 1985 Coffin Corner article (Vol. VII, nos. 11-12), John Hogrogian chronicled the Staten Island Stapletons’ rise from neighborhood semi-pro team to NFL franchise. That account ended with the Stapletons’ withdrawal from the NFL. Their final season, played independently, was covered in a brief epilogue. The following article completes the Staten Island story with a detailed account of the team’s last go-round. * * * * As far as I can tell, the last team to drop out of the NFL and continue as an independent was the Staten Island Stapletons. It happened in 1933, and the fact that we have to go back more than a half-century to find such a thing is testimony to the league’s success in establishing itself as king of the hill. In the early years, of course, it wasn’t unusual for teams to drop out in pursuit of their own agenda; but in the 1930s that practice went the way of the dropkick. A law of gridiron economics was born: If you can’t make a go of it with the big boys, you sure can’t do it on your own. And if anyone happened to doubt that claim, Staten Island was Exhibit A. The Stapletons weren’t a terrible NFL team, finishing in the middle of the pack for most of their stay in the league. And they featured two genuine stars in backs Ken Strong and Doug Wycoff, college All- Americans from NYU and Georgia Tech, respectively.

    Just Staten out on the Island (Pre-NFL)

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 3 (1994) JUST STATEN OUT ON THE ISLAND How Dan Blaine's Stapletons earned their shot at the NFL By Bob Gill The Staten Island Stapletons may not have had a great impact on pro football, but their story has definitely been one of the best-chronicled in the pages of the Coffin Corner. In 1985 (Vol. VII, Nos. 11 & 12) John Hogrogian covered the team's history from its inception to its demise, focusing mainly on the Stapes' NFL seasons, 1929-32. In 1990 (Vol. XII, No. 5), working from copies of newspaper articles supplied by John, I took a very detailed look at the team's only post-NFL season, its 1933 finale. Now, with another huge assist from John, who provided an exhaustive collection of articles from the Staten Island Advance, it's time to go back to 1927 and 1928, the years immediately preceding the Stapes' entry into the NFL. Though owner Dan Blaine had provided Staten Island teams with reputable pro teams since 1919, the history of what became the NFL Stapletons begins in 1926. And oddly enough, it begins in Newark, N.J. That was the year of "the Red Grange league," also known as the AFL. Though Grange's AFL succeeded in signing several major college stars, it had little success on the field or at the gate - one of the least successful teams in both regards being the Newark Bears. The Bears failed to win in five league games, the last of them on Oct. 24.
