1950
CLEVELAND BROWNS
For 1950, the All-America Conference and the NFL merged, and the Browns, champions of the old AAFC for four straight years (1946-1949), became members of the NFL. This rare film, which is missing the very beginning, tells the story of the Brown’s 1950 World Championship season! The 38-minute film is mostly B & W except for the very beginning, which is introduced by narrator and longtime Browns play-by-play broadcaster Bob Neal. This beautiful COLOR segment introduces the Browns players at training camp on the campus of Bowling Green. Shown in order are: Head Coach Paul Brown, assistant coaches Tim Timmierrio, Blanton Collier, Fritz Heisler and Weeb Ewbank, then Browns players Tony Adamle, Warren Lahr, Chubby Grigg, Cliff Lewis, Lin Houston, Alex Agase, Abe Gibron, Jim Martin, Marion Motley, Emerson Cole, Lou Rymkus, John Kissell, John Sandusky, Mac Speedie, George Young, Lenny Ford, Weldon Humble, Darrell Palmer, Frank Gatski, Harold Herring, Ken Gorgal, Rex Bumgardner, Dub Jones, Ken Carpenter, Dom Roselli and Don Phelps. Browns trainer Leo Murphy is shown helping Tony Adamle and George Young model the new Browns uniforms and helmets for 1950.
The rest of the film is B & W and shows highlights from several Browns games from the 1950 season. Most of these are from game coaching films that have been narrated by Neal to make this film and are not of great quality. This is the only copy of this rare NFL film known to exist.
