Next Coffin Corner

Post by Ken Crippen »

A preview of the next "Coffin Corner" is now available for immediate download from the Members Only section of the PFRA website. It is a special issue dedicated to the 1920 APFA season. The final version will hopefully be online next week.

To accompany this preview is a gamebook (including statistics and play-by-play) for the December 12, 1920 game between the Akron Pros and the Decatur Staleys. This is located in the Gamebooks section.

We wanted to try to capture a 1920s magazine cover for this issue.

So, not permanent? Kinda prefer this look. But I'm not an art guy. In fact, I'm not even Art. (Or Guy, for that matter.)

I get "C.C. Staph", kind of a Simpson's Halloween vibe, but what about M. Booth Lowrey? I assume its also a pen name, but I didn't get that one.

Whoever worked on it did a great job. I really enjoyed it. Lots of history in those pages. What struck me is that we got multiple examples where one play could have resulted in a different champion. I always felt Akron really earned that one. They basically survived two championship games.
