I thought it would be fun to do some Massillon Tiger Trivia throughout the course of the season since football season is near and its almost time for the Tigers to take the field for the 2007 season. I will start off with a difficult one that even I dont know the anwser to. lol

What position did Coach Paul Brown play as a Tiger and what was the years he played?

Bragging Rights Question:
Who scored the final touchdown as a player in Coach Paul Brown's final season at Massillon?

Off the top of my head, PB played quarterback in the mid-twenties. I'll guess 24-25-26.

Pb did play QB - at least in his senior season of 1925.

Without cheating to look at the excellent Inde game articles overthe years on massillontigers.com (only have the 1923-1927 seasons still to go), I'll guess Horace Gillom scored the last TD in the 34-6 win over McK to close out the 1940 season (only 7-6 at half- Gillom scored before halftime on a circus catch, I'm pretty sure).

Here's another teaser: Who was the only team to beat a Paul Brown coached Tiger team between 1935 and 1940?

Was it New Castle,PA?

Yes it was! The Red Hurricanes defeated the visiting Tigers 7-0 in 1937. Lake County Tiger gets half credit for mentioning Mansfield, who tied the Tigers that year 6-6.

These two games were the only blemishes on PB's teams 1935-1940. Wow!

Dave Stewart was PB's Tiger coach. He later coached at Sharon, PA and they gave PB's teams a couple of good games, I believe. One ended up being 37-20. More importantly, however, PB was hired at WHS because of Stewart's recommendation.

Another question (no cheating, please!): We all know that Eddie Bell caught the winning TD pass from Greg Wood with 6 seconds to go to hand McK it's (arguably) most devastating defeat 20-15 in 1974. Who caught Wood's TD pass in the first quarter to open the scoring in that game?

The 7-7 game was against Steubenville, who went 0-9-1 that year (1945). I think they only scored 1 to 2 more TDs that year as well.

Bop Streeter, who along with Charlie Swann made the most formidable, hardest hitting safety duo in Tiger history. Guys, these two were freaking animals and ANYBODY that caught a pass in front of them was going to get freaking hurt. A couple of years later #44, Mark Pifer continued the "animal" tradition.

Hi,guys.
This is my first post,so bear with me if I make any mistakes(I'm not real good
with a computer-yet.)Let me introduce myself as Rushfan.I was born,raised,
and live in Massillon,been a Tiger fan all my life,a season ticket holder since
1973(my senior year at W.H.S.),and a rabid McKinley hater.
That '74 McKinley game,I'll never forget it.Ranks in my mind as one of the greatest,if not THE greatest games I,ve ever seen.What an example of guts and determination.
Another thriller,the '77 Gahanna Lincoln game.Anybody remember the 4th and
19,over the shoulder catch by Curt Strawder that kept that last-ditch drive
going?Greg Carpenter took it in a few plays later and we pulled it out.I was
exhausted after watching that one.

Hey Carle I remember (pretty sure it was Swann). In practice I was running a pass pattern (of course I was playing the other team) and as I go to catch the pass Swann comes in and steps on my feet and gives me a hit that I think I bounced off the ground and came back up.

Ah yes- Steubenville! That '66 game must've been a heartbreaker for the Big Red, considering the records. Also the fact that (I think) they didn't get a first down until late in the game.

Steubenville was undefeated going into the '67 game (9th game of the season), but I think UA was #1 that week, after beating the Tigers 7-6. The Tigers once again ruined the Big Red's season 26-16. The Tigers were also the lone thorn in Steubenville's side in '51 (13-6) and '42 (33-13).

Yes it was! They certainly could've put up 100 if they kept McQuire, Ashcraft, and company in during the 2nd half. But they didn't- putting in the reserves. The second half was not too encouraging in looking toward '92 as East outscored us 20-7.

Amazingly, the next week, the Tigers were on the short end of a 28-25 score with St.V-St.M.

That '66 Stuebenville team came in with an All Ohio RB by the name of Palmer who went on to be a major college star out west. He was averageing over 140 yds per game. He was held to a -9 for the game. They were averaging over 400 yds per game and were held to around 40 yds for the game. That was the night the transformer blew and the lights went out in the stadium with all other power out. The start of the game was delayed. The players dressed with coke bottles filled with alchohol and stuffed with rags, then lit with a match! Coach Seaman concocted the weirdest looking defense to stop them.

Earl Bruce always said and said it, again recently. If I had stayed, I would have won another championship with that team .

I don't know much about Houston (maybe that was the '88 loss?), but St. V in '91 had a wide receiver that went somewhere- Penn State?? (Campbell)??

The QB din't do much of nothing in the 88 game but we lost 17-12. St. V's scored 2 tD's off of fumbled punts in the red zone and a field goal off an INT. Our defense stuffed them all game but were backed up real quick in the 1st quarter by those To's. After the 1st quarter we put Troy Manion back to field the punts because he had sure hands. We never would of lost that game if not for OUR own dumb mistakes.

I will not say who was returning the punts before manion but he did not get any more chances that year to fumble again.

One other thing about that '88 loss to St.V.-Lee Hurst had the flu that day but started the game anyway;I don't know whose decision it was to play him,but you could tell he wasn't feeling well.It wasn't until the 4th quarter when they put Jamie Slutz in that Massillon scored a quick 12 points;they probably would've scored more if he'd been put in sooner.But by then it was too late.

I don't know about Lee having the flu but the ENTIRE offense played bad so I guess the O contracted the flu from Hurst. Lee never went to any coache(s) and said he was sick and couldn't perform on a high level. I played the Fairfield game with a temp of 101 and played every game with a seperated shoulder aand never missed a play---if at any point I thought someone else could accomplish the team goals beter due to ilness/injury I would speak up because I never wanted to lose. However The fumbles really hurt the team in the special teams. We just had a bad offensive game as a whole and was flat until the 2nd half. All we had on offense was our running game and TE passing that we abandoned early when the 17 pt. lead was accumulated in the 1st quarter. Jamie did come in and spark the team that night in a comeback attempt . Jason Stafford and Troy Manion accounted for 95% of the offense that game!
St. V's won the DII or DIII chamionship that season!!!

Rushfan

Two Massillon players who coached against each other in the Big Ten (I don't know if it was actually called the Big 10 then): Paul Brown (OSU), Harry Stuhldreher (Wisc).

Correct! Brown and Stuhdreher coached against each other in '41 and '42, splitting the games.

In '41, OSU won 46-34 at Ohio Stadium on "Massillon Day" : http://www.buckeyextra.com/?story=xtrasandos/2003/09-29-2003/jack-full.php

In '42, OSU went to Wisconsin and, because of the poor travel conditions during the war, contracted dysentary on the way there. OSU lost 17-7, their only loss in their National Championship season.

OSU and Wisconsin did not face each other in '43, Brown's last season at OSU (I think Stuhldreher coached through '45 or '46 at Wisconsin).

If Brown had stuck around at OSU, he would've been part of the 1st question about two opposing head coaches facing off later in a major college game- Big Ten, in fact. Jack Mollenkopf, coach at Toledo Waite, faced Brown in a classic in 1940, won handily by the Tigers 28-0. He later was a longtime (and successful) coach at Purdue, beginning in 1955.

I don't know when the Big Ten changed its name to the "Big Ten". There were several dropouts and joiners in the early years (e.g., OSU in '13, Michigan joined AGAIN in '17 or so, Chicago dropped out in '39), when it was called the "Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives" (Or something like that).

I think it was called the "Western Conference" during Brown's OSU years. It didn't settle into a fixed 10 teams until 1953, when Michigan State joined. Obviously, it's now 11 with Penn State joining in 1994.

Here's another one: Were the Tigers ever involved in a "forfeit" game?

Bonus: Which came first: OSU-Michigan being the last game of each others' regular seasons or Massillon-McKinley being the last game of each others' seasons?

monte81

08-17-2007, 03:12 PM

Even if he was sick---I dont know but it is no excuse when the clock starts and play begins!! Go hard or Go home! Our defense was the strong point of the team in 88 and 89 but we had strong hard runners for a ball controlled offense. The platoon offense/defense was the reason Iggy beat us in semis-- At least 5 players on offense could of been the differance on defense and Donnie Blake should of been starting on both sides but was reduced to special teams and Travis was not even dressed.

Massillon was involved in a forfeit game back in the early 1920's(not sure exactly which year)against Youngstown South.Dave Stewart was the coach.The Tigers were getting a real screwing by the officials(the game was played in Youngstown),and Stewart took his team off the field after three Massillon touchdowns were nullified due to penalties.South won via forfiet 1-0.

The Tigers were actually up 19-14 when Stewart took them off. It was the Tigers' only "loss" of the 1924 season- ending up 8-1.

Younstown South had the Tigers by the tail during most of the late teens and early 20s. Obviously, after the '24 debacle, we did not play them again for a long time. I think the next time was 1980 under Currence when we won a surprisingly close battle 36-25.

I doubt that we'll play them often again, as I believe they don't exist (unless perhaps a consolidated Y-Town school will be called "South")

Rushfan

08-18-2007, 11:03 AM

Youngstown South did close some years ago,I think before East did,which only left Chaney,Rayen,and Woodrow Wilson as Y'town City Series schools.I think the way the recent consolidation went was Rayen and Wilson closed to form a re-vamped East. There used to be a lot of city schools in Youngstown but of course as the steel industry died out some of them closed.

Come on, Vic! Everyone SHOULD know that Massillon/McKinley started playing in the season finale before OSU/Michigan!

Those who read this thread will know now! Massillon-McK began being the season finale in 1913 (Interrupted only in '18 by the flu and '62 by McK not fielding a team!). OSU-Michigan was the season finale beginning in 1935 (Although technically, Michigan broke that streak a few years ago by playing a non-bowl game in Hawaii).

An addendum to the two opposing coaches question: It may have been that Gene Slaughter and Lee Tressel faced each other (perhaps several times) after being the Warren and Tiger coaches in '56 and '57, with Slaughter at Capital and Tressel at BW. However, those would not be Div I level games.

Another one: Speaking of Warren (a fairly standard question): In two consecutive years, the same player for Massillon scored the Tigers' only TD against Warren in unusual fashion. Name the years, the player, and the fashion.

Bonus: The Tigers lost to Warren in 1951 (19-13) and in 1960 (19-18). Yet, in each of those games a Tiger record was broken, with both records standing to this day. Name the records.

It was in existence, but by a different name: Canton Central, which was changed to McKinley in 1920. So it was the same school, but one with an identity crisis, which should not surprise us!

If youse really want to get nitpicky, it was changed again to "McKinley Senior" in 1976 after the consolidation/closings with Lincoln and Lehman.

When Canton Central was in existence,did they call themselves the Bulldogs?That's something I always wondered.I remember reading that in the very early days they called themselves the Varsity Club or something like that.

I looked through alot of the early years' (1895-1919) game stories on massillontigers.com. I don't see a reference for "Tigers" until 1919 (they called them "Youthful Tigers") and none for "Bulldogs" at all. In fact, until 1919, they gave no reference to any nickname beyond orange (sometimes yellow) and black for Massillon and red and black for Canton (Not even referred to as Central and Washington).

Of course, they may refer to "Tigers" in other old stories, but not in the rivalry game stories.

Maybe Canton had another nickname that could not be printed in a family newspaper.
