Before you say all that is available other places, let me tell you the part of this site that interests me and then ask you for a big favor. The first part of the site is devoted to pre-NFL years – 1910-19. This includes major teams like the 1917 Canton Bulldogs and 1914 Evanston North Ends as well as semi-semi pros like the 1912 Beloit Iroquois A.C. and the 1916 Hartford City A.A. Many of the major teams are nearly complete, but the little teams that you never heard of have lots of blanks. Now here’s the big favor. Look at the yearly team lists for 1910-19 and see if there were teams listed from your town. If you find one or more, see * * * * what’s missing. (In many cases it’s all but one or two games of a team’s schedule.) Now go to your local library (or wherever microfilm of your local newspaper is kept) and start checking game accounts. See how many of the blanks – date, site, THE COFFIN CORNER opponents, score, attendance – you can fill in.

Though the name stands for "Counterintelligence Program," the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate "radical" political opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally - protected political activity. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

  • Still Another Look at Early Interceptions

    Still Another Look at Early Interceptions

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 4 (1995) STILL ANOTHER LOOK AT EARLY INTERCEPTIONS by Ed Coen About a year ago, Bob Gill wrote an article in The Coffin Corner ("Another Look at Interception Stats," Vol. XV, No. 5), in which he explored the issue of who was the all-time leader in interceptions before official statistics were kept, i.e., 1941. At the end of the article, he suggested that someone with access to the Green Bay Press-Gazette could answer a lot of questions by checking the play-by-plays from 1935 through 1940. I took him up on that and this article presents the results of that work. First, a word on the play-by-plays. For the most part, the play-by-plays of the home games and the Western Division road games were complete. Some of the accounts of the East Coast games were incomplete, ranging from detailed accounts with a few gaps to a short one or two paragraph summary of each quarter. We were able, however, to construct a complete and fairly accurate record of all Packer interceptions in the period, using a combination of the play-by-plays, The Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel, and the hometown papers of the Packers' opponents. There were some discrepancies between the various sources, so a certain amount of judgment had to be used. According to Bob Gill's article, Johnny Blood retired as the NFL's all-time leading interceptor with 37, Sammy Baugh had 36, and Don Hutson had 34. I found two additional interceptions for Blood and the 1994 edition of The Football Encyclopedia by Neft, Cohen, and Korch, credits him with one more than previous editions.
