Bow Federal Building. The result of that historiC meeting was the birth of the National Football League. It seemed logiCal that a Canton Repository artiCle published on DeCember 6, 1959, announCing the need for a Professional Football Hall of Fame, marked Canton as the perfect site. Due to the tremendous efforts of the late Bill Umstattd, president of the Timken Company, late Paul Brown, legendary Cleveland Browns CoaCh, late Clayton Horn, editor of The Repository, and others, the dream beCame a reality. The Greater Canton (now Canton Regional) Chamber of CommerCe and the Canton Junior Chamber of CommerCe (now the JayCees) supported the idea and these men in their efforts. After nearly two years of planning, they finally broke ground on August 11, 1962. Henry Stuhldreher of Massillon, the late quarterbaCk of the legendary Notre Dame “Four Horsemen”, served as the master of ceremonies along with help from Pete Rozelle, former NFL commissioner and other

  • 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen
    Building a Champion: 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen BUILDING A CHAMPION: 1920 AKRON PROS By Ken Crippen It’s time to dig deep into the archives to talk about the first National Football League (NFL) champion. In fact, the 1920 Akron Pros were champions before the NFL was called the NFL. In 1920, the American Professional Football Association was formed and started play. Currently, fourteen teams are included in the league standings, but it is unclear as to how many were official members of the Association. Different from today’s game, the champion was not determined on the field, but during a vote at a league meeting. Championship games did not start until 1932. Also, there were no set schedules. Teams could extend their season in order to try and gain wins to influence voting the following spring. These late-season games were usually against lesser opponents in order to pad their win totals. To discuss the Akron Pros, we must first travel back to the century’s first decade. Starting in 1908 as the semi-pro Akron Indians, the team immediately took the city championship and stayed as consistently one of the best teams in the area. In 1912, “Peggy” Parratt was brought in to coach the team. George Watson “Peggy” Parratt was a three-time All-Ohio football player for Case Western University. While in college, he played professionally for the 1905 Shelby Blues under the name “Jimmy Murphy,” in order to preserve his amateur status. It only lasted a few weeks until local reporters discovered that it was Parratt on the field for the Blues.

  • Nfl Announces Plans to Celebrate 100Th Season
    FOR USE AS DESIRED 8/1/19 NFL ANNOUNCES PLANS TO CELEBRATE 100TH SEASON Season-long initiatives to celebrate players, teams, communities and fans; Get ready for a ‘Fantennial’ near you A journey of 100 seasons began with a single step. For the National Football League, that step was made by RALPH HAY, owner of the Canton Bulldogs. Hay’s simple initiative was to invite owners of three other Ohio teams – the Dayton Triangles, Cleveland Indians and Akron Pros – to a meeting at his Canton auto showroom to discuss forming a league. Three issues prompted the meeting: Dramatically rising salaries, players jumping from one team to another following the highest offers, and teams illegally using players still in college. That initial meeting conceived the foundation of the league, originally called the American Professional Football Association, on August 20, 1920. A second step was to schedule another meeting. This time, Hay flexed his vision, writing to invite several other pro teams. Perhaps the most significant letter was to future Pro Football Hall of Famer GEORGE HALAS, the player-coach of the Decatur Staleys and eventual Chicago Bears. At that second meeting in Hay’s showroom, held on September 17, 1920, Halas sat on the running board of a brand-new Hupmobile and, for the first of many important instances, modeled a league-above-team perspective that critically shaped the genesis and longevity of the new organization. Countless steps, strides and leaps later, the NFL embarks on its 100th season when the Atlanta Falcons meet the Denver Broncos in Canton’s Tom Benson Stadium for this year’s Hall of Fame Game.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 8 (1980)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, No. 8 (1980) HAPPY BIRTHDAY NFL? by P.F.R.A. Research On September 17 of this year the National Football League will celebrate its 61st (ed. note: 79th as of 1998) birthday, but some new information uncovered by a P.F.R.A. research team indicates the celebration may be a bit belated. By the time mid- September rolls around, the NFL might actually be closer to 61 years and one month old. As most fans know, the NFL has for many years regarded a meeting in Ralph E. Hay's Hupmobile showroom in Canton, Ohio, as its initial organizational meeting. That get- together -- held on Friday evening, September 17, 1920 -- has been described by nearly every writer who ever penned a book on pro football, how Hay, Jim Thorpe, George Halas, Leo Lyons and eight or ten other pioneers sat around on the cars' running boards, drank beer from buckets hung over the fenders, and created in a few hours' time the first pro football league. The minutes of that meeting have been reprinted many times, and a bronze copy hangs on the wall at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (See the facsimile at end of this article.) In summary, the following business was transacted: 1. A name -- American Professional Football Association -- was chosen. 2. Officers were elected. 3. A $100 membership fee was set (but Halas is witness that no money changed hands). 4. A committee to draft a constitution was named. 5. The secretary was to receive a list of all players used during the season by Jan.

After winning six of the National Football League’s first 24 championships, the Packers won only 55 games, while losing 107 and tying 3, from 1945 through 1958. No wonder that Packer fans dwelt on the past, and the great legends of the past—Canadeo, Hutson, Herber, Hubbard, Hinkle, Dilweg, Lewellen, Isbell, Michalske, Lambeau. But the greatest legend of all was Johnny Blood, because he was not only a great football player, but also a colorful, flamboyant personality off the field. (His one-time teammate and fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Clarke Hinkle, once said, “Next to Johnny Blood, Joe Namath looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy.”) I grew up in Green Bay during that period and, by the time I was thirteen and thinking of becoming a writer, I knew that someday I wanted to write a book about this legendary charac- ter.

  • The Ohio League
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 7 (1981) THE OHIO LEAGUE By Bob Braunwart & Bob Carroll Professional football came to Ohio in 1903 when the Massillon Tigers, a strong amateur team, hired four veteran Pittsburgh pros to play in their season-ending game against East Akron. The game was no small potatoes, being billed as for the "Ohio Independent Football championship," an unofficial title -- open to argument - - but taken quite seriously by the teams and fans. The pros proved a sound investment. Massillon won, 12-0, and professionalism was launched in the Buckeye State. The Tigers went a step farther by dividing the season's profits among its home talent, thereby putting the whole outfit on a professional basis. The little city of Massillon caught flack from most of the major newspapers in northern Ohio for its transgression against the amateur code, but the following year saw players paid in Salem, Akron, Lorain, Canton, Dover, Shelby, and doubtless any number of other places that were more circumspect about what they were doing with their money. Charles Follis, an outstanding halfback, became the first black pro football player when Shelby hired him to a season-long contract. Massillon, with its team augmented by still more Pittsburgh pros, spent 1904 undefeated, winning most of its games with ridiculous ease. Cleveland's Franklin A.C. was downed 56-6, but the top performance of the season was Marion, O., crushed 148-0! In 1905, the Canton Bulldogs were formed, primarily to beat Massillon. The two cities -- both within Stark County -- were natural rivals.
