  • The President's Corner
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. XVII (1996) THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER By Jack Clary Continuing with some memories of outstanding pro footballers who passed away last year: In 1946 Frank Filchock and Merle Hapes were the principles in the only severe gambling incident ever to affect an NFL championship game. Filchock was the Giants best offensive performer and Hapes backed up No. 2 rusher Bill Paschal (and Jim Lee Howell was one of their teammates). They helped the Giants to win the 1946 Eastern Division title, and were set to play the Chicago Bears for the title at the Polo Grounds. Frank Filchock: He was from the University of Indiana, and had backed up Sammy Baugh for many seasons at Washington. He was a happy-go-lucky, sometimes unpredictable guy who, as happened in this instance, often wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He made scrambling an art form because if his pass protection broke down, he was renowned for dancing and circling away from defenders until he found someone to throw to, or just took off and ran with the ball. But with this flamboyance also came a reputation for making mistakes -- 25 interceptions in 1946, one in every six and a half attempts, compared to just 12 TD passes. He had been traded to the Giants after the 1945 season and seemed to have at last found a full-time job as the ideal tailback in Owen's A-formation offense. Merle Hapes: He was from Mississippi, and a rookie in 1942. He spent three seasons in the military before rejoining the team in 1946.

  • Warren RABB by Jeff Miller
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 7 (2006) Bonus Issue Warren RABB By Jeff Miller The Buffalo Bills were entering their second year of their existence in 1961. The Bills' inaugural season of 1960 had been plagued by inefficiency at quarterback, with veteran Tommy O'Connell alternating playing time along with Johnny Green and the team's first-ever number one draft choice, "Riverboat" Richie Lucas of Penn State. The result? A less-thanstellar 5-8-1 record and a third-place finish in the AFL's Eastern Division. When the Bills opened training camp '61, Green was penciled in as the starter. But mid-way through camp, Green sustained a shoulder injury that forced the recently retired O'Connell back into action. Feeling somewhat insecure about their quarterback situation, the Bills' brought in an NFL castoff named Warren Rabb to bolster the depth chart. Rabb was a two-year starter at Louisiana State, and led the Tigers to an 11-0 record and the Southwestern Conference Title in 1958. LSU faced Clemson in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1959, and, playing part of the game with a broken handed, Rabb led the Tigers to a 7 to 0 victory and the National Championship. "I was running down the sideline and had the ball," Rabb recalls of the play in which he was injured. "The guy put his helmet right on the football when he tackled me, and 1 broke my hand pretty bad. 1 came out of the game and told the coach. 1 said, 'Coach, 1 think my hand's broken.' He looked at it and said, 'Aw, it's alright.' So we got back in the game, and we had an opportunity to try a field goal-35 yards or something like that.

He was right, in one sense: basketball would someday capture the attention of the American sports public. But Marshall was ahead of his time, and he didn’t have much patience to wait decades, let alone years, to reap the rewards of his sports venture. He was already a successful Washington businessman, inheriting the Palace Laundry from his father and building it into a profitable business. But Marshall liked action and being in the spotlight. He was a showman by nature, and he wanted to expand into something that gave him a greater rush than cleaning clothes. He hoped the ABL would do that, but in the era of Babe Ruth, Bobby Jones, and Jack Dempsey, thereCOPYRIGHTED was no such icon for roundball. MATERIAL Marshall’s basketball venture was not in vain, however. He made some important contacts with men of that era who had similar dreams. One man in particular who had a clearer vision of the future of Amer- ican sports was George “Papa Bear” Halas. And Halas had a standard bearer to compete with the likes of a Ruth, Jones, and Dempsey: Red Grange, who would help launch the National Football League in the 1920s. 5 c01.qxd 6/28/06 9:24 AM Page 6 6 HAIL VICTORY Halas, a former standout end and baseball player (he played with the New York Yankees in 1919), was hired in 1920 by the Staley Starch Company of Decatur, Illinois, to organize a company football team.

  • 1940: the Triumph of the T
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) 1940: THE TRIUMPH OF THE T By Bob Carroll The United States ended World War II with the biggest explosions ever seen on the planet up to then -- Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For pro football, the decade began with the biggest explosion ever on an NFL field -- the Chicago Bears' 73-0 blasting of the Washington Redskins. In the great scheme of things, happenings on a hundred-yard field may be of little importance compared to the events of a World War, but to a football fanatic the year 1940 is of crucial importance to the development of their game. The Bears' one-sided win led to the eventual triumph of the T-formation in all its guises as the premier attacking system. Once the lethal qualities of the T had been so thoroughly demonstrated by Chicago, other teams began redesigning their offenses. The switch was not accomplished overnight -- the Pittsburgh Steelers held onto their single-wing attack until 1952 and a few college teams still resisted the T into the 1960s. But by the end of the war in 1945, the T had clearly become the dominant method of moving a football. The T-formation lent itself to passing far better than the old wing attacks. The quarterback who began every play was the key man. By turning his back to the line of scrimmage as soon as he got the snap, the quarterback hid what he was going to do with the football from the defense. He might hand-off or pitch- out, and that froze the defenses long enough for him to spot a receiver and throw to him.

  • Canadian All-Stars, 1932-50
    PFRA ANNUAL 1986 1 CANADIAN ALL-STARS, 1932-50 Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In Canadian football the Schenley Awards sometimes overshadow the annual league all-star selections. The Schenleys have been awarded to the most outstanding player, Canadian player, lineman and rookie of each season, beginning in 1953. These are not the only talent awards in Canadian football, however. At least since 1932, sportswriters or coaches or combinations of the two have chosen eastern and western all-star teams. Some of the earlier listings have been seldom reprinted. Here is the complete list of official teams from 1932 to 1950. Presumably there were unofficial listings before 1932, but that is a topic for further research. Most of the early eastern teams were chosen by the press. It is not clear how the western all- stars were chosen. 1932 All Eastern (Canadian Press) Flying wing -- Abe Eliowitz, Ottawa Half -- Frank Turville, Hamilton Flying wing -- D.

  • The Real System
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 5 (1985) THE REAL SYSTEM By Bob Carroll By now everyone realizes that the NFL's Passer Rating System is only an elaborate code to hide things from the Russians. The question still remains – how can we tell who's the best quarterback? It's crucial that we answer this so that magazines will know who to put on their covers, advertisers will know who to hire as spokesmen, and a major TV network can have its broadcasters picked when Wednesday Night Football hits the tube. Of course, the answer has been there all the time. After all, it's not how you play the game, it's whether you won or lost, right? It follows that the best is the one who wins. Joe Montana was the best QB last year because he (ed. note: HE not San Francisco!) won the Super Bowl. Dan Marino was the second best, and so on. All you have to do is arrange the teams in the order they finished each year, substitute the name of their signal caller, and you'll get the perfect quarterback- rating system. As a matter of fact, don't bother. I already did it. Look below and you'll see the top six QBs for each of the last 40 years. I chose only to do the top six because nobody outside the town they're booed in remembers the others. Tell the truth; if you don't live in Kansas City, do you remember who quarterbacked the Chiefs last year? I had a little trouble with the order in the last few years because of the annoying habit of wild card teams winning playoff games, so I used an involved tie-breaking system which I've since forgotten.

  • Vol. 5, No. 2 (1983)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 2 (1983) REDSKINS FROM WASHINGTON by Bob Kirlin Below is the roster of the 1942 Redskins, who, as you know, were the most recent team to win the NFL championship before this recent season. I took it from The Sports Encyclopedia: Pro Football, then arranged the players in alphabetical order. The idea was to find if what I suspected really was true. Sure enough, it was. If you will observe the schools attended by these men, you will notice that Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, San Jose State, Texas A & M, and TCU all contributed two players each to this title-winning team. But there is one school, not too big, that contributed three players! And that is not all...the coach of this outfit was also from that same college! In other words, no other school contributed as many players to the '42 Redskins as Gonzaga of Spokane. LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BULLDOGS! In addition, Dick Farman attended Washington State and Steve Slivinski attended Washington, so there was a real Evergreen State influence on that title team.

  • Black Hats in a Golden Age (1950S Tough Guys)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 4 (1993) BLACK HATS IN A GOLDEN AGE By Bob Barnett & Bob Carroll Originally published in Sports Heritage, I-1 (Jan.-Feb. 1987) Bobby Layne was a gutsy quarterback who led by macho example. "When Bobby said ‘Drink,' we drank," explained one teammate, "and when Bobby said, `Block,' we blocked!" And when Layne had an offense in high gear, it was a work of art. He would probe, plunge, and sweep with his ground game until he had a rival defense just where he wanted it, then suddenly launch one of his fluttery but devilishly effective passes for the kill. Layne's fiery play led the Detroit Lions to three division titles and two NFL championships in the early 1950's. On the afternoon of December 16, 1956, at Wrigley Field, he was ready to capture yet another Western Division crown for Detroit. The Lions' foes that day were the second-place Chicago Bears, a half-game behind and already demolished 42-10 two weeks earlier in Detroit by Layne and company. The Bears held an 3-0 lead early in the second quarter, but Lion fans weren't worried. It was an article of faith in Detroit that Bobby Layne never lost a game (although time sometimes ran out on him), and now he had three-fourths of the clock in which to accomplish victory. Early in the second stanza, Detroit began to move the ball. Layne -- still building the scaffold -- took the snap from center, stepped back, and pitched the ball to a sweeping running back.

  • The Second 25 Years
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 5 (1994) The Second 25 Years By Jack Clary (This is the second of three articles for COFFIN CORNER, by Jack Clary, current president of the Professional Football Researchers Association, that will commemorate the 75th Anniversarv season of the National Football League. Each will cover a 25-year segment in the NFL's existence.) The second trimester of the National Football League began only a few weeks after World War II ended in 1945. It couldn't have come at a better time because the end of the war also signalled the beginning of a new era in America, and the same signal went out to pro football. During the next quarter century, the NFL regrouped and began a steady upward march in popularity. It was abetted by the new medium of television that for the first time brought the game into homes across the country, culminating with the Mother of All TV Games--the 1958 NFL overtime title game between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants which showcased the great theatre of pro football. It not only launched the sport into the top echelon of America's sporting tastes but triggered the start of a new league -- the fourth American Football League -- that within the decade provided a massive expansion for pro football. The second quarter century also showcased two great leaders in Bert Bell and Pete Rozelle and a new array of great teams--the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Baltimore Colts and Green Bay Packers -- and the stars who accompanied them -- Steve Van Buren, Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Norm Van Brocklin, Tom Fears, Bobby Layne, Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Bart Starr .
