The Hidden Career of Ken Strong
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 3 (1988) THE HIDDEN CAREER OF KEN STRONG by Bob Gill The more we find out about minor league football in the 1930s and '40s, the more top-level players we discover who put in time with pro teams outside the NFL. Among others, the list includes stars like Frankie Albert, Ed Danowski, Jack Ferrante, Augie Lio, Harry Newman, Hank Soar, Tommy Thompson and Kenny Washington, plus Hall of Famers Red Badgro, Johnny Blood, Sid Gillman, Vince Lombardi and Ace Parker. But without a doubt, among the famous names of football, the one with the most extensive non-NFL career was Ken Strong. The initial phase of Strong's pro career lasted from 1929-35. In four years ('29-32) with the Staten Island Stapletons and three ('33-35) with the New York Giants, he was a consensus all-pro selection in 1930-31 and '33-34, finishing among the NFL's top four scorers in each of those seasons. Then, after an injury- plagued 1935 season and a contract dispute with the Giants, he jumped in 1936 to the New York Yankees of the newly formed AFL. Though it didn't last, the AFL was definitely a major league in '36. The Yankees contended for the title before ultimately finishing third. With no passer, the team relied almost exclusively on its ground game, led by Strong's powerful running and crunching blocks. In addition, Strong finished third in the league in scoring – in fact, he would have led the league easily if not for the fact that he made only 5 of 20 field-goal attempts. -

Fordham Preparatory School Summer Academy
Fordham Preparatory School Summer Academy Mission Statement and Program Goal The Jesuit educational mission advo- cates that an ethnically and economically di- verse student body creates a superior envi- ronment for learning and living. The Ford- ham Prep Summer Academy was created to address the need for continued skills devel- opment among gifted young men in the Bronx.

Time after lunch is set aside for computer skills, theatre use, and opportunities for recreation. There are also visits to nearby cultural resources in and near the Bronx such as Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo. 2011 THE STUDENTS OF THE 2011 FORDHAM PREP SUMMER ACADEMY Joseph Bull St. Lucy Marlon Burgess Mott Hall —Throgs Neck Jonathan Campbell St. Mary School John Diaz Our Lady of Angels Tristan Diaz Our Lady of Angels Hakeem Dunkley Immaculate Conception— GH Jacy Frias St. John Chrysostom Arthur Gooden Sts.
