Youngstown Patricians (Ohio) Irish-American Football Team 1914-1920

Youngstown Patricians Football Team 1915 World Champions [Reference: 7]

Ohio League and AAA Pro Football Team 1914-1920

Home Field: St. Patrick’s Parish, Youngstown, Ohio.

Honours: World Champions (USA Pro Champions) 1915 (Defeteated Washington Vigilants 13-7). City Champions 1914 (Defetated Crescent AC 3-0) and 1920 (Defeated St. Edwards Saints 10-0)

Career Record: Unknown

History Youngstown Patricians appear to be named after St. Patrick. On the 22 November 1920, the day the Patricians defeated St. Edwards Saints for the City Championship, the Youngstown Daily Vindicator’s Front Page Headline was ” Battles in Ireland Follow Bloody Day” (Monday, November 22, 1920). They started off as the Church team in St. Patrick’s Parish, before becoming the city’s team. The team was made up of Irish, Poles and Italians, tough men who worked in the steel mills. [Reference: 45]

They were formed in 1914 in St. Patrick’s Parish, Mahoning, Northeast Ohio (near Cleveland), and entered that years Mahoning Valley Championship, winning 7 and losing one of their 8 games against teams from Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

In 1915 they scheduled matches against more experienced teams: Akron Pros, McKeesport Olympics, Pitcairn Quakers, Columbus Panhandles, and Washington Vigilants. The Vigilants had claimed the Pro Championship since 1907 with a record of 90 wins, three losses and one tie, with the three losses coming against College All-Star teams after the Vigilants had finished training for the season (In those days the top College teams were still the best in the country).

The Youngstown team increased their squad to 25 players, including some under contract, unheard of back then, and under “The Man of the Hour” player-coach Ray L. Thomas, the “Pats” as they were known won 8 lost none and tied one, including an outstanding 13-7 victory over the Washington Vigilants. Opponents were outscored 271 to 22.

In 1916 the Patricians scheduled matches against top Ohio teams (Ohio was then the hotbed of Pro Football), including the top two Canton Bulldogs and Massillon Tigers and increased their schedule to 11 matches. They won handsomely against all comers – except Canton and Massillon – the latter two defeating the Pats.

In 1917 a similar pattern emerged, after the early season games were won, the tough games against Canton and Massillon proved their undoing, although this time they beat Massillon 14-6.

With World War I staring for the USA, there was no Pro Football in Northeast Ohio in 1918, and in 1919 two brief games were scheduled, and then in 1920, another half-season played by the Patricians, including a game against Columbus Panhandles on the last day of the season which the Pats won 2-0, no mean feat considering the Panhandles were in the fledgling APFA (soon to be renamed the NFL in 1922). There was an attempt to restart the Patricians in the NFL in 1922, but even though they were awarded a franchise, the money to get a team together could not be found.

The Patricians also won the City Championship, then an important source of end-of-season bragging rights, in 1914 (beating Crescent AC at the end of the season) and 1920 (defeating St. edward’s Saints)

Their match with Canton Bulldogs in 1917 read like a whos-who of Pro Football at the time, including players of the calibre of Jim Thorpe, a Native American who is still a household name in American Football circles 100 years later, and who kicked the game-winning Field Goal to beat Youngstown 3-0. In that game for the Patricians were players like F. Fitzgerald (Right Guard), Bill Kelleher (Right End) and Stan Cofall (Left Half), all Irish names, who had graduated from the famous Irish Catholic College in South Bend, Indiana, Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Report

Who won the Indiana State Football Championship in 1920 is a matter of debate. For starters there was no Official League, and secondly the State’s best team in 1919, the Muncie Flyers, signed up to play in the American Professional Football Association (APFA) – the first National Football League for Pro teams, adopting the name NFL in 1992.

The Flyers, however, were to lose their first game in the APFA on opening weekend 45-0 to the Rock Island Independents of Illinois, and had trouble scheduling matches after that. No team was willing to play them for the next three weeks, and players signed on with the Dayton Triangles in the APFA, Fort Wayne Friars (AAA – National Division 2) or Indiana State Football Circuit teams such as the Wabash AA and Muncie Tigers.

By the end of the season after scheduling three more games and having their opponents cancel to play more lucrative teams (and one cancelled due to rain), the Muncie Flyers were then challenged to a game for the Indiana State Championship by Gas City Tigers, who had won all nine games they had played.

The Flyers won 19-7 and then in a game the Gas City Journal described as “a team of college stars” (Flyers) versus “a team of highly skilled players” (Muncie Offers More AC), the Flyers won 24-0 against the MOM FC to win the City Championship for the second year running. In a rematch for the State Championship, this tome on home ground in Muncie, the Flyers defeated Gas City 13-7 to take the series 2-0.

After playing at AAA (National Division 2) in 1919 against the likes of the Cincinnati Celts and Dayton Oakwoods and finishing the season with a respectable 4-1-1 record, the Flyers found the jump to the APFA (NFL) in 1920 too much, but by the end of the season, having dropped back down to play the Indiana State Championship went 3-0, including two wns against the Gas City Tigers who had won all 9 games they had played, out-scoring opponents 443 points to 9.

ONEFA (Mexican College Football) Champions 2009-2011 [Reference: 2]

Report

As with the North Conference in ONEFA, there was a different Champion each year in the South Conference from 2009-2011.

The ONEFA College Football Championship is one of the highlights of the Mexican American Football season, and was considered the National Championship from 1933 until recently. There was a single Championship from 1930 to 1981 when it was split into two Championships: Metropolitan (for the National Championship) and National (for Promotion/Ascent).

The Metropolitan Championship was renamed Big 10 in 1990 and Big 12 in 2004. In 2009 the Colleges agreed to merge the two Conferences into one, with two groups, each with its own Champion. In turn the “Centre” Conference would have two groups A & B each with its own Champion. The Conferences were realigned into “Centre”, “North” and “South”, each with its own Champion.

In 2012 a further restructuring took place, with ONEFA restoring the “Big 8”, mainly with teams from the Centre and the “National” with teams mainly from the North and South. In 2009 the ITESM Tech Colleges left to form their own College Football Organisation: CONADEIP.

Report

Pumas Acatlán UNAM from Naucalpan near Mexico City in Estado de México (Mexico State), where the Irish Institute is based, won the ONEFA National Conference Championship in 1999 and 2003. Osos Acatlán UNAM won the National Conference title in 1983. The National Conference Champion went on to meet the Big 10 (Metropolitan – Mexico City) Champions for the ONEFA National Championship in Mexican College Football between 1981 and 2008, although only Lobos UAdeC (Coahuila) were succesful in defeating a Big 10 side.

The ONEFA College Football Championship is one of the highlights of the Mexican American Football season, and was considered the National Championship from 1933 until recently. There was a single Championship from 1930 to 1981 when it was split into two Championships: Metropolitan (“Big 10”) and National (outside the Metropolitan Area).

The Metropolitan Championship was renamed Big 10 in 1990 and Big 12 in 2004. In 2009 the Colleges agreed to merge the two Conferences into one, with two groups, each with its own Champion. In turn the “Centre” Conference would have two groups A & B each with its own Champion. The Conferences were realigned into “Centre”, “North” and “South”, each with its own Champion.

In 2012 a further restructuring took place, with ONEFA restoring the “Big 8”, mainly with teams from the Centre and the “National” with teams mainly from the North and South. In 2009 the ITESM Tech Colleges left to form their own College Football Organisation: CONADEIP.

Report

The ONEFA Mexican College Football Championship changed in 1981 to create a Metropolitan “Big 10” (Centre) and “National” (North and South) Conferences, with the National being the Ascenso or Promotion Conference and the Big 10 being the Major League.

The Águilas Blancas IPN (National Polytechnic Institute) won four Big 10 Championships between 1981 and 2008 after which three equal Conferences were created. Cóndores UNAM won six Championhips over this period, Borregos Salvajes Monterrey ITESM eleven Championships, Aztecas UDLAP (Puebla) three and Borregos Salvajes CEM-ITESM (EdoMex) once.

Two Colleges won the title once: from the National Conference (the only winner from that Conference), Pieles Rojas IPN (National Polytechnic Institute), and Osos Acatlán UNAM where the Irish Institute is based in Naucalpan.

On only one occasion the did the Big 10 Champions not go on to win the National Championship during this time: Borregos Salvajes Monterrey ITESM in 1998 who lost out to Lobos UAdeC (Coahuila), the “National” Conference Champion being the only National Champion from 1981 to 2008. There was also no National Championship in 1999 and 2001-2002, with just the “Big 10” and “National” Conference Champions.

The ONEFA College Football Championship is one of the highlights of the Mexican American Football season, and was considered the National Championship from 1933 until recently. There was a single Championship from 1930 to 1981 when it was split into two Championships: Metropolitan (for the National Championship) and National (for Promotion/Ascent).

The Metropolitan Championship was renamed Big 10 in 1990 and Big 12 in 2004. In 2009 the Colleges agreed to merge the two Conferences into one, with two groups, each with its own Champion. In turn the “Centre” Conference would have two groups A & B each with its own Champion. The Conferences were realigned into “Centre”, “North” and “South”, each with its own Champion.
