John B. Foster and the 112-Yard Field
John B. Foster was best known for his involvement in baseball as an executive with the New York Giants and later as editor of Spalding’s Official Base Ball Guide. Still, he wrote extensively on football, with many columns entering syndication and publishing nationwide. As a syndicated columnist, he had the time and budget to have his articles accompanied by illustrations. — www.footballarchaeology.com
The story of a baseball and football columnist that helped change football from some newspaper references and data. Perhaps we should call him fourth down Foster
A Short History of Onside Kicks
The original flying wedge debuted in 1892. A previous article described the play and its demise when an 1894 rule required the kickoff to travel 10 yards before the kicking team could recover the ball. That rule led most kicking teams to boot the ball as far downfield as possible, hoping to tackle the return man inside the 30-yard line. — www.footballarchaeology.com
The origins and the early history of onsode kicks is uncovered in this Football Archaeology piece by Timothy P. Brown.
Recount of Super Bowl X (Cowboys vs. Steelers)
Super Bowl 10 was held on January 18, 1976, at the Orange Bowl in Miami between the back-to-back AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers and the three-time NFC — sportshistorynetwork.com
Super Bowl X, held on January 18, 1976, pitted the Pittsburgh Steelers, defending champions, against the Dallas Cowboys, the league's most popular team and wild-card underdogs. This clash of styles and contrasting narratives set the stage for a thrilling showdown in Miami.
Steely Defense vs. Glittering Offense:
The Steelers, nicknamed for their "Steel Curtain" defense, boasted a league-best record and relied on a powerful running game and smothering defense. The Cowboys, known for their flashy "flex" defense and high-powered offense led by Roger Staubach, sought to overcome their underdog status.
A Tale of Two Halves:
The first half belonged to the Steelers. Terry Bradshaw connected with Lynn Swann for a 64-yard touchdown, showcasing offensive prowess to complement their dominant defense. Rocky Bleier's touchdown run further extended their lead.
But the Cowboys stormed back in the second half. Preston Pearson found the end zone, and a late scramble by Staubach set up a touchdown pass to Percy Howard, bringing them within two points.
A Final Play for the Ages:
With five seconds remaining and the Cowboys on the Steelers' 38-yard line, Staubach launched a desperation pass. The stadium held its breath as the ball soared towards the end zone. Steelers safety Glen Edwards leaped and intercepted the pass, securing a 21-17 victory and etching his name in Super Bowl history.
Legacy of a Classic:
Super Bowl X is remembered for its nail-biting finish, contrasting playing styles, and the iconic image of Swann's diving touchdown catch. It solidified the Steelers' dynasty and further cemented their rivalry with the Cowboys. It reminded fans that in football, even the smallest edge can make the difference between glory and heartbreak..
