    Eagles' Team Travel

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 2 (1988) JACK FERRANTE: EAGLES GREAT By Richard Pagano Reprinted from Town Talk, 1/6/88 In 1933, Bert Bell and Lud Wray formed a syndicate to purchase the Frankford Yellowjackets' N.F.L. franchise. On July 9 they bought the team for $2,500. Bell named the team "The Eagles", in honor of the eagle, which was the symbol of the National Recovery Administration of the New Deal. The Eagles' first coach was Wray and Bell became Philadelphia's first general managers. In 1936, Bert Bell purchased sole ownership of the team for $4,000. He also disposed of Wray as head coach, and took on the job himself. From 1933 until 1941, the Philadelphia Eagles never had a winning season. Even Davey O'Brien, the All-American quarterback signed in 1939, could not the Eagles out of the Eastern Division cellar. Bert Bell finally sold the Eagles in 1941. He sold half the franchise to Alexis Thompson of New York. Before the season, Rooney and Bell swapped Thompson their Philadelphia franchise for his Pittsburgh franchise. The new owner hired Earle "Greasy" Neale to coach the team. In 1944, the Eagles really started winning. They finished with a record of 7-1-2 and ended the season in second place in the Eastern Division. From 1944 until 1950, the Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed their most successful years in the history of the franchise. They finished second in the Eastern Division three times and also won the Eastern Division championship three times. The Eagles played in three consecutive N.F.L.

A lot of great work has been put in over the last few months by our players, coaches and staff, and we are all looking forward to getting the 2015 season started in late July. It is a very exciting time for everyone in our organization and we hope it is for our alumni as well. Every day we walk into the practice facility at 4949 Marie P. DeBartolo Way, we are reminded of the great tra- dition of this franchise and the people, such as our alumni, who have helped to write its proud history. It was important to this organization to reinforce our feelings of gratitude and appreciation for your contri- butions and continued support before the season gets underway. The dedication you have shown to this fran- chise and the sacrifices you and your families have made are certainly recognized and will never be forgotten. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Charles Haley on his upcoming induction into the Pro Foot- ball Hall of Fame and the Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr. 49ers Hall of Fame. In the game of football, acknowledge- ments such as those not only celebrate the great individual accomplishments of one man, but they also celebrate the contributions of those around him – his teammates and coaches.

    Bert Bell: the Commissioner

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 3 (1996) BERT BELL: THE COMMISSIONER Courtesy of The Pro Football Hall of Fame It is not known whether the assembled owners of the National Football League really knew exactly the kind of man they were seeking when, at their January 11, 1946, meeting, they unanimously tapped a fellow owner, Bert Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers, to replace Elmer Layden as commissioner. But the NFL hierarchy could scarcely catch its collective breath before it became quite clear that they had signed on a fearless, tireless dynamo who would guide the NFL through some of its darkest days into the glamorous Golden Age of the 1950s, when pro football would zoom to new heights of popularity and prosperity. Bell's first order of business as commissioner was to prepare the NFL for "war" with the All-America Football Conference which had been founded in this first post-World war II season armed with apparently plenty of money and a healthy share of the top players of the day. The confrontation was costly to both leagues. Players salaries sky-rocketed. Losses on both sides reached into millions of dollars. In several cities, AAFC and NFL teams vied on common ground for fan support. In Los Angeles for example, the AAFC's Dons outdrew the NFL's Rams in three of the four years of the battle. It soon became obvious that neither side could enjoy any real prosperity while the fighting continued so the AAFC several times made overtures to the older NFL for such things as a common draft, a dovetailing of schedules and an annual "World Series" of pro football between the two league champions.
