  • La Salle College High School Football: in Retrospect
    La Salle College High School Football: In Retrospect NOTE: This is the fourth of, I hope, many retrospectives highlighting some unique history of the football program at La Salle. The topics to discuss seem endless at this time. Hope you enjoy these. Bill Wasylenko, ‘69 Issue Number Four: All-Catholics – Position on Positions & Divisions The banner 2009 season, culminating in a State Championship, saw sixteen La Salle players honored as first or second-team All-Catholics. An incredible number, indeed, and maybe too high a number, but I won’t deny any one of them their accolades, and their place on that listing forever. There are several reasons why so many players from one team are honored as All- Catholics. First and foremost is the classification of schools into three divisions now (AAAA, AAA, and AA); just a few years ago, the two classifications were Red and Blue; prior to that, Northern and Southern Divisions; and prior to that, just one division. But there’s another big factor, and that’s the increase over the years in the number of uniquely defined positions on the football field, at least in the eyes of the selection committee. If you can believe it, there are 14 different positions in which to slot All- Catholic players! The defensive side of the ball has some tradition and some scruples; there are just 4 defined positions on defense: lineman (DL), end/outside linebacker (E/OLB), inside linebacker (ILB), and back (DB). But offense has gone wild, with 10 defined positions: center (C), lineman (OL), wide receiver (WR), tight end (TE), quarterback (QB), running back (RB), fullback (FB), placekicker (K), punter (P), and the ever-popular multi-purpose player (MP).

  • Marshall Goldberg
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Marshall Goldberg This article was written by Matt Keddie. Marshall Goldberg was always a big dreamer. It was not ironic during his playing days that he earned the nickname, “Biggie”.1 No matter the sport he played or the team he played on, Marshall fit right in with his natural athletic ability. He ascended through the football ranks to star with the NFL's Chicago Cardinals as a fabulous two-way player in the 1940s. His eight year NFL career from 1939 to 1948 was briefly interrupted by a short stint due to service in the US Navy (1944, 1945). During his career, he was arguably the Cardinals' best player, and a top back during the war time era. Marshall was born to Sol Goldberg and Rebecca Fram in Elkins, West Virginia on October 24, 1917. Both immigrants, his parents worked as entrepreneurs in the clothing business.23 They worked hard for what they had, and saved all they could. As a result, Marshall's home life was very blue-collar. He learned the values of working for everything – the food he ate, the clothes on his back, and the success he would achieve in life. Among his interests growing up: competitive sports. He stood roughly 5'11” and 190 pounds, an athletic build that allowed him to star at Elkins High School on the football, track, and basketball teams. Goldberg was not only the team captain, but he was also an All-State performer in his senior year.4 Marshall's astounding success drew the interest of major college football powerhouses from across the country.

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.
