The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

It serves as an indoor training center for the football program, as well as other sports. A multi- million dollar gift from Cliff Ensley, a walk-on who earned a football scholarship and became a three-sport standout at Syracuse in the late 1960s, combined with major gifts from Dick and Jean Thompson, made the construction of the 87,000 square-foot practice facility possible.

  • Report on the History of Matthew P. Deady and Frederick S. Dunn
    Report on the History of Matthew P. Deady and Frederick S. Dunn By David Alan Johnson Professor, Portland State University former Managing Editor (1997-2014), Pacific Historical Review Quintard Taylor Emeritus Professor and Scott and Dorothy Bullitt Professor of American History. University of Washington Marsha Weisiger Julie and Rocky Dixon Chair of U.S. Western History, University of Oregon In the 2015-16 academic year, students and faculty called for renaming Deady Hall and Dunn Hall, due to the association of Matthew P. Deady and Frederick S. Dunn with the infamous history of race relations in Oregon in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. President Michael Schill initially appointed a committee of administrators, faculty, and students to develop criteria for evaluating whether either of the names should be stripped from campus buildings. Once the criteria were established, President Schill assembled a panel of three historians to research the history of Deady and Dunn to guide his decision-making. The committee consists of David Alan Johnson, the foremost authority on the history of the Oregon Constitutional Convention and author of Founding the Far West: California, Oregon, Nevada, 1840-1890 (1992); Quintard Taylor, the leading historian of African Americans in the U.S. West and author of several books, including In Search of the Racial Frontier: African Americans in the American West, 1528-1990 (1998); and Marsha Weisiger, author of several books, including Dreaming of Sheep in Navajo Country (2009). Other historians have written about Matthew Deady and Frederick Dunn; although we were familiar with them, we began our work looking at the primary sources—that is, the historical record produced by Deady, Dunn, and their contemporaries.

  • Blondy Wallace and the Biggest Football Scandal Ever
    1984 PFRA Annual No. 5 BLONDY WALLACE AND THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL SCANDAL EVER By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1906, the fierce rivalry between the Canton and Massillon pro football teams took a nasty turn toward the unsavory. Most of the nastiness that sometimes showed through in 1905 came from fans goaded by newspaper hyperbole. Incendiary phases like "hated foe" and "bitter enemy" lit up sports pages and ignited fiery oaths on street corners, but managers George Williams of Canton and J.J. Wise of Massillon conducted their clubs with the ethics typical of American businesses at the time. There might be surprise signings of stars such as Michigan's Willie Heston and tricky contract negotiations like Canton's "exclusive" with Carlisle, but ultimately there were real limits to how far either side might go to humble and humiliate the other. It was all right to hit below the belt, but no brass knuckles please. But before the 1906 season ended, all restraints disappeared. Each side stood accused by the other of unfair and illegal practices. There were charges of darker, more dastardly deeds by individuals on both sides. Each club swore never to play the other again. And each was likely to follow through on the threat because both were out of the football business. For Ohio professional football in general and for Massillon and Canton in particular, 1906 was a season of unprecedented disaster. * * * To many Canton minds, the first shot fired in all- out war came a few days after the Massillon Tigers defeated the Canton team for the 1905 state championship.

  • Fighting Illini Football History
    HISTORY FIGHTING ILLINI HISTORY ILLINOIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS 1914 Possibly the most dominant team in Illinois football history was the 1914 squad. The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team. 1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national cham pi on ship squads to lose a game.
