For example, by volunteer- ing at a homeless shelter or an animal shelter. Or even asking the cashier how his/her day is going by being genuinely interested.

  • APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set the Following Players Comprise the 1960 Season APBA Football Player Card Set
    APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.

  • The Packer Fullbacks
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 6 (1999) THE PACKER FULLBACKS By Stan Grosshandler To the long time NFL fan, the word fullback conjures up the picture of a powerfully built man crashing into the line head down and knees up. On defense he backed up the line like a stone wall. The name Bronko Nagurski immediately comes to mind as the prototype fullback. The term fullback is about to go the way of the terms as end, blocking back, halfback, and wingback. The usual NFL fullback today is the up man in a two man backfield used as a blocker and occasional pass receiver. The Green Bay Packers have had their share of “real fullbacks”. Their first one of note was Bo Molenda, who played a total of 13 years in the NFL. He started with the Packers in 1928, and then was a member of the three straight championship teams of ‘29,'30, and ‘31. In the Lambeau system the FB stood beside and to the right of the LH or tailback in the Notre Dame box. In a position to receive the ball directly from the center he had to be able to run wide, plunge, spin and hand off, plus pass and receive. Ideal for this job was Clarke Hinkle, who joined the team in 1932 out of Bucknell. Clarke did it all, run, pass, receive, kick both extra points and field goals, and backed up the line. He topped the league in scoring in 1938 (58 points) and led twice in field goals. Hinkle is now in both the Professional and College Halls of Fame.

  • 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.

Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids.
