Chicago College All-Star Game > 자유게시판

The Chicago Charities College All-Star Game was a preseason American soccer sport performed from 1934 to 1976 between the National Football League (NFL) champions and a team of star college seniors from the earlier football game online 12 months. It was additionally identified because the College All-Star Football Classic.[1]

The sport was contested yearly - apart from 1974, resulting from that year's NFL strike - and was performed in July, August, or September. In the 42 College All-Star Games, the defending pro champions gained 31, the All-Stars won 9, and two were ties, giving the collegians a .238 winning share.

The second recreation, played in 1935, involved the hometown Chicago Bears, runner-up of the 1934 season, as an alternative of the defending champion New York Giants. The new York Jets performed in the 1969 version, although nonetheless an American Football League (AFL) group, as as soon as the AFL-NFL Championship was introduced (including for the two seasons earlier than the "Super Bowl" designation was formally adopted and the remaining two seasons earlier than the AFL-NFL merger) the Super Bowl winner was the professional team concerned, regardless of which league the team represented.

History of the sport[edit]

The game was the idea of Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune and the driving force behind baseball's All-Star Game.[1] The sport originally was a benefit for Chicago-area charities and was played at Soldier Field besides for 2 years during World War II, in 1943 and 1944, when it was held at Northwestern University's Dyche Stadium in Evanston.

The Chicago recreation was one in all several "pro vs. rookie" college all-star video games held across the United States in its early years (the 1939 season featured seven such video games, all of which the NFL teams won in shutouts, and the season prior featured eight, with some of the collegiate players taking part in in a number of games).

Chicago's game had the good thing about being the highest profile, with the NFL champions going through the perfect school graduates from across the country versus the regional games that had been held elsewhere; because of this, the sport survived far longer than its contemporaries.

The inaugural sport in 1934, performed before a crowd of 79,432 on August 31, was a scoreless tie between the All-Stars and the Chicago Bears. The next year, in a game that included University of Michigan graduate and future president Gerald Ford, the Bears won 5-0.

The first All-Star group to win was the 1937 squad, coached by Gus Dorais, which received 6-0 over Curly Lambeau's Green Bay Packers. The only score got here on a 47-yard touchdown go from future Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh to Gaynell Tinsley.[2] Baugh's Washington Redskins lost to the All-Stars the subsequent yr, however he didn't play resulting from harm.[3]

In the 1940s, the games have been aggressive affairs that attracted large crowds to Soldier Field. The school All-Stars had the advantage of being fully integrated, since the NFL's league-wide shade barrier did not apply to the squad, meaning black gamers equivalent to Kenny Washington (who performed in the 1940 contest) have been allowed to play in the sport. Because the talent stage of pro soccer improved (and the NFL itself built-in), the pros got here to dominate the collection.

The qualifying standards for the College All-Star squad was loose, because the 1945 recreation featured Tom Harmon, who had begun his professional career in 1941 but had been interrupted by navy service.[4]

The All-Stars last won consecutive games in 1946 and 1947, and gained only 4 of the ultimate 29 video games: the Philadelphia Eagles fell in 1950,[5] the Cleveland Browns in 1955,[6] and the Detroit Lions in 1958.[7]

The last All-Star win came in 1963, when a college group coached by legendary quarterback Otto Graham beat Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers, 20-17.[8]

In 1949, Ward, who by this time had founded the competing All-America Football Conference, attempted to have that league's champion, the perennially winning Browns, play that 12 months's sport instead of the NFL champion, but after the NFL threatened authorized motion, the Tribune board overruled Ward and renewed its agreement with the NFL.[9]

By the late 1960s and the 1970s, enthusiasm for the sport started to erode as NFL coaches grew to become more and more reluctant to let their new draftees play in the exhibition sport as a consequence of their being forced to overlook half of training camp, and their draftees being at considerable risk for injury. As early as 1949, these considerations had been raised after Dick Rifenburg suffered a serious knee damage training for the sport, successfully ending his professional profession before it began, and prompting Rifenburg's move into broadcasting.[10]

In 1974, a player's strike and an exodus of stars to the World Football League exacerbated this subject, because the NFL went to all-rookie rosters to allow the preseason to be performed: with no rookies obtainable to play for the College All-Stars, the game was cancelled that year.

During most of its run, the College All-Star Game was not significantly unique, since NFL groups continuously played exhibition games towards non-NFL competitors in its early a long time. However, by the 1970s, the NFL was withdrawing from competition towards teams that weren't members of the league. Following the tip of preseason games against teams from the Eastern Conference of the Canadian Football League in 1961, the NFL performed solely three games in opposition to non-NFL teams (excluding pre-merger exhibition video games against AFL teams and College All-Star Games). The primary two of those video games, a 1969 split-squad match in opposition to a Continental Football League staff and a 1972 break up-squad match against a Seaboard Football League team, had been large blowout wins for the NFL teams, whereas the third, between the Houston Oilers rookie and follow squad and the San Antonio Toros, was a much closer contest.

The ultimate College All-Star Game happened in 1976 throughout a torrential downpour at Soldier Field on July 23.[11][12][13] Despite featuring star players reminiscent of Chuck Muncie, Mike Pruitt, Lee Roy Selmon, and Jackie Slater, the All-Stars were hopelessly outmatched by the Pittsburgh Steelers, winners of consecutive Super Bowls (IX, X).

The star quarterback for the College All-Stars, Steeler draft pick Mike Kruczek of Boston College, left ten minutes into the first quarter after pulling his left thigh, with backup quarterback Craig Penrose of San Diego State suffering two broken fingers in the second quarter. Jeb Blount of Tulsa performed most of the game.[11][14]

With 1:22 remaining within the third quarter and the Steelers leading 24-0, high winds and lightning prompted All-Stars coach Ara Parseghian to name for a trip.

After the officials ordered each teams to their locker rooms, followers invaded the sphere and started sliding on the turf as the rain continued to fall heavily. Despite the efforts of officials, stadium safety and Chicago Police, all attempts to clear the sphere failed, with a gaggle of drunk fans tearing down the goalposts at the southern end of the stadium. However, by this time, the torrential rain had left parts of the sector underneath 18 inches (45.5 cm) of water, which means it will have been unplayable in any occasion.

At 11:01pm CDT, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and the Tribune announced that the sport had been called: the announcement was greeted with jeers, and quite a few brawls broke out on the flooded subject earlier than order was finally restored.

Joe Washington of Oklahoma was selected because the MVP of the ultimate College All-Star game.[15]

Chicago Tribune Charities had each intention of staging a 1977 game, nevertheless, a combination of factors, together with NFL coaches being more and more reluctant to let their excessive draft picks play, rising insurance coverage costs, and better player salaries meant the game was no longer viable or competitive. As such, the Tribune announced on December 21, 1976, that the game could be discontinued.[13][16][17][18] The game raised over $four million for charity during the course of its 42-sport run.[19]

In the forty two College All-Star Games, the defending professional champions received 31, the All-Stars received nine, and two have been ties, giving the collegians a .238 profitable share. The 1976 College All-Star Game stays, as of 2023, the final time an NFL group has played any crew from outdoors the league.

One side of the College All-Star Game was later revived: the concept of the league champion enjoying in the first game of the season was adopted in 2004 with the National Football League Kickoff recreation. Since then, the first recreation of the common season is hosted by the defending Super Bowl champion.

All games performed at Soldier Field in Chicago, aside from the 1943 and 1944 games, which had been performed at Dyche Stadium in Evanston, Illinois.

† Game was called with 1:22 left in the third quarter resulting from lightning, torrential rain, and a area invasion by followers.[11][15]
