    ARMY FOOTBALL 2013 “Playing since 1890, the Army Football tradition is as strong as it is long … Add more than 600 victories and the Army football program shines as brightly as its golden helmets.” — Street & Smith’s 50 Greatest College Football Programs of All Time WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM WEST POINT The United States Military Academy is renowned because of its historic and distinguished repu- tation as a military academy, and as a leading, progressive institution of higher education. Made legendary in books and movies produced over the years, the Academy’s “Long Gray Line” of gradu- ates includes some of our nation’s most famous and infl uential men: Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, George S. Patton, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Norman Schwarzkopf. Because of this superb education and leadership experience, West Point graduates historically have been sought for high level civilian and military leadership positions. Their numbers include two U.S. presidents, several ambassadors, state governors, legislators, judges, cabinet members, educators, astronauts and corporate executives. Today, West Point continues to provide hundreds of young men and women the unique opportu- nity to develop physically, ethically and intellectually while building a foundation for an exciting, challenging and rewarding career as an Army offi cer in the service of our nation. Cadets have much more responsibility in running the Academy than students in most other colleges or universities. It adds to the leadership experience. Cadets succeed at West Point because of the support they receive from the staff and faculty. After all, many faculty members are West Point graduates and understand the challenge cadets face on a daily basis.

  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.

    HISTORY & RECORDS HISTORY OF OLE MISS FOOTBALL The University of Mississippi boasts a long and col- orful football history, which includes the formation of the first football team in the state, as well as one of the most successful programs in the history of collegiate football. In its 120-year history, the Ole Miss football pro- gram has claimed three national championships (1959, 1960 and 1962), six Southeastern Conference titles (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, and 1963), and one SEC Western Division title (2003). In addition, Ole Miss has produced 54 first-team All-America selections and 162 First Team All-SEC selections, appeared in 34 bowl games with 22 wins, and sent almost 300 players into the professional ranks. REBEL FOOTBALL BEGINNINGS The beginnings of the program can be traced all the way back to 1890 when Dr. A.L.

All-Time All-American Team Selections—Players from Pre-1937* Christy Walsh selected All-American Teams, with the assistance of what he called the All-America Board. Members this board was made-up of noted coaches: Elmer Layden, Howard Jones, Frank Thomas and Glenn “Pop” Warner. “The policy of the All-America Board differs with other selectors on many points, of which the matter of multiple lineups is conspicuous; whereas most selectors name first, second, third teams, the Board confines its major recognition to the eleven players only, on the theory that there should be but one All- America team, and players who are names second or third choice may as well not be named at all.” * The initial team was selected in 1924; then in 1949 this board created an All-Time All-America Team that covered players over the past 25 years. Six outstanding players of the Pre-1937 made this mythical team. They include: Ends—Don Hutson, Alabama and Bennie Oosterbaan, Michigan Tackle—Ed Widseth, Minnesota Backs—Jay Berwanger, Chicago; Harold “Red” Grange, Illinois and Ernie Nevers, Stanford Another feature in Walsh’s book was John Heisman’s Stone Age versus Steel Age in Football; where the latter named a pair of all-time teams—one from early days, with the other more “modern”.
