  • Joe Perry, "The Jet"
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) Joe Perry, "The Jet" Excerpted from FORTY NINERS: Looking Back by Joseph Hession, Foghorn Press, @ 1985 Joe Perry was designed to be a fullback. He carried the ball with the power and grace of a panther, defying tacklers to strike. The first time he touched the ball in a league game, he bolted through a hole in the Buffalo Bills defense and dashed 58 yards to score. Y.A. Tittle, the quarterback for most of Perry's years in the 49er backfield, took extra haste when handing the ball to "Joe the Jet." He was so quick off the snap, he often shot past Tittle before the quarterback could turn to make the handoff. His playing weight was 195 pounds and that was distributed over a 6-foot frame. Opponents claimed he was bigger. He could run to daylight, or create his own running room by bowling over potential tacklers. He made a habit of carrying opposing players for extra yards. Perry gained 8,378 yards in the National Football League and another 1,345 in the All-America Football Conference. He averaged over five-yards per carry. After 16 years of professional football, "Joe the Jet" retired in 1963 with more rushing yards than any player in NFL history. That record stood until someone named Jim Brown came along to break it. In the mid-1950s, Perry teamed with Y.A. Tittle, Hugh McElhenny, and John Henry Johnson to form the most famous backfield in football. With three great running backs hungry to carry the ball, Tittle's chore was to keep them all happy.

  • HUGH Mcelhenny: the KING
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 4 (1986) HUGH McELHENNY: THE KING By Joseph Hession Excerpted from Forty Niners: Looking Back Hugh McElhenny knew he was breaking a cardinal rule when he fielded a punt on the four-yard line, juked a couple of Chicago Bears and took off on a 96-yard scamper for a touchdown. A veteran would have allowed the punt to go into the end zone. But McElhenny wasn't a veteran; he was a rookie playing in his fourth league game in 1952. McElhenny's rookie mistake was ignored but his running ability wasn't overlooked. "After the game in the locker room," said McElhenny, "Frankie Albert gave me the game ball and said, ‘You're now the King.' Then he turned to Joe Perry and said, ‘Joe, you're just the Jet.'" That's when the legend was born. "The King" was finally coronated. And McElhenny was definitely royalty. In the open field he had no peer, dancing past bruising tacklers with the grace and beauty of Baryshnikov. He was an artist unleashed on a canvas of green grass, sprinting and slashing like no one before him. McElhenny began to make his presence known barely 24 hours after reporting to the San Francisco 49er training camp. He played in the College All-Star game on Friday night, reported to camp on Saturday, and was in uniform on Sunday for an exhibition game against the Chicago Cardinals. He hadn't even had time to learn the names of his teammates when he found himself in the 49er backfield.

  • Hugh Gallarneau
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 6 (1999) HUGH GALLARNEAU Submitted by John Gunn CHICAGO -- Hugh Gallarneau was a high school dropout who would become a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, an All-Pro halfback scoring 210 points for the Chicago Bears, and an executive with Marshall Field’s and Hart, Schaffner & Marx. Gallarneau, 82, a 1936 graduate of Morgan Park High School, died July 14 at his Northbrook home. “I dropped out of high school after my sophomore year because my family lost everything in the Depression,” he told a 1992 interviewer. The family lived in the Vanderpool School area. “I worked in the Stockyards almost two years before my family got back on its feet,” he said. “On returning to Morgan Park, Coach (Bob) Antonides and I didn’t get along too well. He cut me from the squad.” But Gallarneau knew that he didn’t want to spend his life in the Stockyards. So he hit the books. He also joined the swimming team. Ironically, Empehi’s greatest football player did not play on the gridiron for the Mustangs. “I got an academic shoIarship to Stanford,” he said. He lettered at Stanford in 1938 and 1939 during 3-6 and 1-7-1 seasons, and competed in boxing and rugby. But in 1940 he -- and Stanford -- hit the big time. The Indians, with Frankie Albert at quarterback, Pete Kmetovic at the other half and Norm Standlee at fullback, went 9-0 and beat Nebraska, 21-13, in the Rose Bowl with the new T formation installed by Coach CIark Shaughnessy.

  • The Best of the Rest, Part 2
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 12 (1983) THE BEST OF THE REST, PART 2 By Bob Gill For the 1940 season, the American Association trimmed down to six teams and adopted a shaugnessy- style playoff (1st place vs. 4th, 2nd vs. 3rd, winners play for title) to determine a champion. This time Jersey City, armed by the addition of Ed Danowski and the return of Ken Strong, took the title. Again the coaches picked the all-star squad: End Tod Goodwin, Wilmington Tackle Bob Cook, Paterson Guard Ed Michaels, Wilmington Center Tex Coker, Wilmington Guard Sam Aills, Jersey City Tackle Win Pederson, Jersey City End Jack Daly, Jersey City QB Young Bussey, Newark HB Emilio Daddario, Providence HB Ed Danowski, Jersey City FB Johnny Boyda, Paterson There must have been a second team for this season, as usual, but I haven't located it yet. It may well have included another former Giant star, Dale Burnett, player-coach at Paterson. Danowski, incidentally, completed better than 60% of his passes in leading his club to the title. The league leader in passing yardage, Young Bussey of Newark, was destined to spend only one season as Sid Luckman's backup with the Bears before being killed in the war. Despite its impressive list of all-stars, the American Association was not the strongest league in operation outside the NFL in 1940. That honor belonged to a new league, which stole three teams whole from the 1939 AFL and formed its own circuit, again called the AFL. As for its predecessor (the former Midwest League, remember), the loss of three top teams a couple of months before the season proved to be its mortal wound.
