The 1920 Akron Pros season was the franchise's inaugural season with the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and twelfth total season as a team. The Pros entered the season coming off a 5–5 record in 1919 as the Akron Indians in the Ohio League. The Indians were sold to Art Ranney and Frank Nied, two businessmen, to help achieve a better record and crowd. Several representatives from the Ohio League wanted to form a new professional league; thus, the APFA was created.

Returning to the team for the 1920 season would be most of last year's team, including quarterback Fritz Pollard. The Pros also added end Bob Nash, who previously played for the Tigers, Al Garrett, and end Al Nesser of the famous Nesser brothers. They opened their regular season with a win over the Wheeling Stogies, en route to an 8–0–3 record. In week 11, the Pros traded Bob Nash—the first trade in APFA history. A meeting was held by the APFA to determine a winner, and the Pros' season concluded with the team winning the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup for finishing first place in the APFA. The Decatur Staleys and the Buffalo All-Americans demanded the title because of the amount of wins each team had.

Rip King and Fritz Pollard were named first-team all APFA and Alf Cobb was named second-team all APFA by the Rock Island Argus. The Pros only allowed 7 points all season, which was the lowest among all APFA teams. The 1920 Akron Pros are considered the first team in the history of the APFA to have an undefeated record. This changed with the 1972 rule change, however. In 2005, Pollard became the only player from the 1920 Akron Pros to be elected into the Professional Football Hall of Fame.

Offseason

The Akron Pros, who were named the Akron Indians, finished 5–5 in their 1919 season in the Ohio League.[1] The Indians lost money because of the constant poor performance; the team did not win an Ohio League Championship since 1914. The Indians was sold to Art Ranney and Frank Nied. The two changed the team name to the Akron Pros, as they hoped to achieve a better record and crowd.[2]

Representatives of four Ohio League teams—the Canton Bulldogs, the Cleveland Tigers, the Dayton Triangles, and Ranney and Reid for the Pros—called a meeting on August 20, 1920, to discuss the formation of a new league. At the meeting, they tentatively agreed on a salary cap and pledged not to sign college players or players already under contract with other teams. They also agreed on a name for the circuit: the American Professional Football Conference.[3][4] They then contacted other major professional teams and invited them to a meeting for September 17.[5]

At that meeting, held at Bulldogs owner Ralph Hay's Hupmobile showroom in Canton, representatives of the Rock Island Independents, the Muncie Flyers, the Decatur Staleys, the Racine Cardinals, the Massillon Tigers, the Chicago Cardinals, and the Hammond Pros agreed to join the league. Representatives of the Buffalo All-Americans and Rochester Jeffersons could not attend the meeting, but sent letters to Hay asking to be included in the league.[6] Team representatives changed the league's name slightly to the American Professional Football Association and elected officers, installing Jim Thorpe as president.[6][7][8] Under the new league structure, teams created their schedules dynamically as the season progressed,[9][10] and representatives of each team voted to determine the winner of the APFA trophy.[11] Ranney wrote all the information from these meetings on stationary and thus was promoted to secretary of the league.[2]

Regular season

Returning to the team for the 1920 season would be most of last year's team including quarterback and future Hall of Famer Fritz Pollard. The Pros also added end Bob Nash, who previously played for the Tigers, Al Garrett, and end Al Nesser of the famous Nesser brothers.[12]

The Pros played all their home games at League Park in Akron.[13] The regular season schedule was not a fixed schedule but was created dynamically by each team as the season progressed.[10][14] The first week of the season opened up on September 26, but the Pros did not have a game scheduled that week, and their season is denoted as beginning in week 2. The Pros played nine games against APFA teams and two against non-APFA teams; they played a total of six games at home. The two non-APFA teams the Pros would play in week two and four when the Pros played against the Wheeling Stogies and the Cincinnati Celts, respectively. In week seven, a game was scheduled to play at home against the Detroit Heralds, but the game was cancelled due to rain.[15]

During the season, Pollard was treated with disrespect because of being African American.[16] He stated, "The white players were trying to hurt me."[17] By the end of the season, Pollard would be one of the highest paid players in the APFA. The main reasons were because of his skin color as well as being a great player.[17]

October 31, 1920, at Lakeside Park, Canton, Ohio

"With four games under their belt", the Pros were starting to gain attention around the league. Their next game was against the Bulldogs. This game, according to the Youngstown Vindicator, was the first of a two-game series for the "national professional football championship".[30] Playing under a crowd of 10,000,[18] the Pros defeated the Bulldogs 10 to 0.[30] In the first quarter, after an exchange in punts and a long pass which resulted in 13-yards, Charlie Copley of the Pros kicked a 38-yard field goal.[31] On a Bulldog possession at midfield, Gilroy attempted to pass the ball, but it was tipped by the Pros' Copley and Bob Nash.[30] Pike Johnson caught the ball before it landed and ran it back 55 yards for a touchdown.[31] The Youngstown Vindicator called it the "most sensational play of the contest".[30] In the third quarter, Jim Thorpe came into the game, but could not help the Bulldogs score.[30]

Week 8: at Cleveland Tigers

1 2 3 4 Total
Pros 0 7 0 0 7

1 2 3 4 Total
Triangles 0 0 0 0 0
Pros 0 0 0 13 13

November 21, 1920, at League Park

The Triangles came into this game as one of the few teams left undefeated.[33] The game started out with three scoreless quarters until King threw a 15-yard passing touchdown in the fourth quarter to McCormick. Pollard also rushed for a 17-yard touchdown and Copley made one extra point and missed another one to beat the Triangles 13–0.[18] This brought one of only two loses the Triangles had this season.

Week 10: vs Canton Bulldogs

1 2 3 4 Total
Bulldogs 0 0 0 0 0
Pros 7 0 0 0 7

November 25, 1920, at League Park

In their first game of week ten, the Pros played against the Canton for the second time this season, and the Bulldogs were still upset from their loss earlier in the season against the Pros.[33] A fumbled punt by the Bulldogs gave the Pros the ball at the 32-yard line.[33][34] On their next drive, the Pros' passing game gave them the lone score, a passing touchdown from King to Nash in the first quarter.[34] Once again, the Pros shutout the Bulldogs, winning 7–0.[34] This was the first game played on Thanksgiving Day, which launched a yearly tradition.[35]

Week 10: at Dayton Triangles

1 2 3 4 Total
Pros 14 17 17 21 69
Triangles 0 0 0 0 0

November 28, 1920, at Triangle Park, Dayton, Ohio

The Pros were now recognized as the top team in Ohio,[33] and in their second game of week ten, the Pros played against the Triangles. The game could have been classified as a World Championship because of both teams' records, but the APFA had widened its battlefield with Buffalo and Decatur still with a high winning percentage.[33] Pollard returned a punt for a touchdown early in the first quarter and also had one receiving touchdown in the third quarter from King.[36]

Week 11: at Buffalo All-Americans

1 2 3 4 Total
Pros 0 0 0 0 0
All-Americans 0 0 0 0 0

December 5, 1920, at Buffalo Baseball Park, Buffalo, New York

Pros had the Buffalo All-Americans as their next opponent. The All-Americans were tired from their 7 to 3 victory against the Canton Bulldogs the day before.[15] Before the start of the game, Nash was sold to the All-Americans for $300 and 5% of the Akron-Buffalo gate, making the first deal in APFA history.[22] The reason for the trade was because rain caused a low amount of fans. However, Nash did not appear in the game for either team, and Scotty Bierce replaced Nash for the Pros. The rain caused sloppy game play as well as a small crowd of 3,000 people.[15] It resulted in a 0–0 tie.[18]

Week 12: at Decatur Staleys

Pros 0 0 0 0 0

December 12, 1920, at Cubs Park, Chicago

The Pros would end their season in week twelve against the Staleys. Prior to the game, the Staleys' coach, George Halas, moved their home field to the much larger Cubs Park in Chicago and hired Paddy Driscoll from the Cardinals to play on his team in order to help defeat the Pros, which was against league rules at the time.[37][38] Twelve thousand fans, which was the largest recorded crowd of the season,[15] showed up to watch the game.[39] Of the crowd, about 2,000 were from Pollard's hometown.[40]

The Pros almost scored twice, but failed once because of ineligible receiver penalties.[39] On the other hand, Pollard made a touchdown-saving tackle against Sternment in the third quarter.[40] On the same drive, the Staleys missed a 30-yard field goal.[39] The Staleys' Chamberlin attempted to injure Pollard twice in an attempt to remove him from the game.[40] The final score ended in a 0–0 tie;[39] however, the Chicago Defender reported that the refereeing was biased towards Decatur.[40]

 dagger  Awarded the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup and named APFA Champions.
Note: Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972.

Post season

Since there were no playoff system in the APFA until 1932,[42] a meeting was held to determine the 1920 NFL Champions.[15] Each team that showed up had a vote to determine the champions. Since the Akron Pros had a 1.000 winning percentage, the Pros were awarded the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup on April 30, 1921.[43] The trophy was a "silver-loving cup", donated by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company.[2][5] This decision, however, would arise with controversy. The Staleys and the All-Americans each stated that they should win the award because they had more wins and were not beaten by the Akron Pros.[15] Each player from the Pros was also awarded with a golden fob.[44] It was of a football and "1920", "WORLD CHAMPIONS", and each players' first initial and last name was inscribed on the fob.[44]

Five players from the Pros received awards. On December 2, King and Pollard were named 1st Team, Alf Cobb was named 2nd Team, and Nash as well as Brad Tomlin were named 3rd Team all AFPA by the Rock Island Argus.[45][46] The Pros did not officially celebrate their championship season until the following year. In October 1921, most of the team was invited to the Elks Club of Akron, which was labeled as "a grand homecoming celebration for the world's champions".[43] Pollard was congratulated during an Akron Merchants Association of Colored Business Men's meeting.[43]

Legacy

In their inaugural AFPA season, the Pros posted an undefeated, 8–0–3 season. As a result, they were the first team in the history to complete a non-modern "perfect season". Only four other teams has accomplished this feat: the 1922 Canton Bulldogs at 10–0–2,[47] the 1923 Canton Bulldogs at 11–0–1,[48] the 1929 Green Bay Packers at 12–0–1,[49] and the 1972 Miami Dolphins at 17–0.[50] Prior to 1972, the NFL did not count ties into winning percentage; however, in that year the NFL retrospectively altered its standings to treat tied games as being worth half of a win.[51] With that being said, the 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team to have a modern perfect season.[52] Three other teams accumulated a perfect regular season record, but lost in the post season. The 1934 Chicago Bears posted a 13–0 record but lost in the 1934 NFL Championship Game to the New York Giants. The 1942 Chicago Bears posted an 11–0 record but lost in the 1942 NFL Championship Game to the Washington Redskins. Lastly, the 2007 New England Patriots posted a 16–0 record but lost in Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants.[53]

The 1920 Akron Pros had one of only two African American players in the AFPA, Fritz Pollard. He later went on to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2005.[54] Even though the Pros were given the trophy in 1920, the league lost track of the event and for a long time published in its own record books that the 1920 championship was undecided. It was not until the 1970s that the NFL remembered its early vote on awarding the Akron Pros the championship.[55]
