Aha! I think I have it. I found a podcast about the Triangles on YouTube. In it the podcaster states that Fay Abbott played QB in 1923.

Does any have info on this? I have been searching internet with no luck! this is the team I have so far, but no one is listed ad QB. Roster: 16 Fay Abbot BB. 6 Bobby Berns LG. 12 Russ Hathaway LT. 10 Ken Huffine FB. 1 Hobby Kinderdine C. 4 Lou Partlow TB. 9 Dave Reese RE. 18 Ed Sauer RT. 3 Dutch Thiele LE. 8 Frank Bacon WB. 14 Larry Dellinger G/T. 17 Glen Tidd C/G/T/WB. 13 John Beasley RG 2 Lee Fenner E. 5 Walt Kinderdine B. ?? Harold Fenner E 11 Earl Burgner BB/WB. 22 Al Jolley T ?? Ken Crawford B

I agree that this was an awesome video. Very enjoyable,

Good stuff. You should have been a sports writer.

My youngest daughter bought them as my Christmas gift and my middle daughter is painting them. they might be just a tad smaller to the size of Regular tudor teams. See the picture below. That is a Tudor RB from the Panthers.

My daughter had made great progress on my Dayton Triangles. Not finished but had to show them anyway. She has the whole team painted to this level right now.

I was afraid that that was what I would have to do.

Beautiful pass. Welcome!

I try to put at least 3 RBs on a team. Two on fast bases (usually ITZ CL-1 Fast Standard). Tweaked to curve in opposite directions to allow sweeps either way. I don’t often use dials on my RBs. One strong yet still with done speed to be a lead blocker.

The team I am working on contains several of Tudor’s “mean 13” figures. The problem I have is that the decals for leg stripes are not made to fit them. How do you guys handle this?

Well done. They look great. I am slowly getting my Chiefs done.

I wanted to do only players that actually played, so found this website. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2024/2/16/24072291/chiefs-49ers-snap-counts-jerick-mckinnon-jumps-right-back-in shows how many snaps each player participated in.

Awesome. It is great to see young people getting excited about Electric Football. I wish I could get my sons to play. But no luck there.

This is post is random, but I watched a highlight video of SB III and the video showed the clock hit zero snd the referee fired a pistol in the air yo signal the end of the game. I got curious as to when this custom ended. from Wikipedia regarding the use of a pistol shot to signal the end of the game; “In the NFL this was first done in 1924, to avoid confusion with the whistles and air horns used for other signals; at the time the stadium clock did not show the official game time, which was kept by the officials on the field. The stadium clock later became the official game time and the NFL discontinued the gunshot in 1994. “

Thanks for the probably undeserved complement. I say that as I am 61 and definitely not as alert as I once was but my rival in the TVEFL is a young 30 years old and is very sharp. I constantly have to innovate my game plans to stay ahead.

Loved your story. This is a great hobby, welcome. As a young kid my switch stopped working for my field. I was devastated. But one day I was in the store with my mom and noticed that they sold switches. It had never occurred to me before that I could repair my EF field. I talked mom into buying the switch and by myself wired it into the EF cord. Pugged it in, flipped the switch and it worked!! (Cue the Hallelujah Chorus!). I was back in business!

#88 can. I put him in for run plays to block or any time I need strength, but as you see in the video he is nearly as fast as #84. So both are legit receiver options.

Yes you should paint more! Your painted teams always look great! This NY Titan team has become one of my favorite EF possessions.

The 1961 New York Titans Bought this team from NEFGM. Great paint job. I added the decals and facemasks. #84 Art Powell TE (Starter) #88 Thurlow Cooper TE (Blocking TE) Run pretty good. Either one could start.

I had planned to attend this year but the timing doesn’t work for me. My Father-In-Law is getting remarried and so I will be there. Best wishes for a great Con!

I ran the stats for this one game. Union Jacks went 9-14 passing. RS was 2 for 2. RSP was 3 for 3. WS was 2 for 4 (one was intercepted). WSP was 2 for 2. BS was 0 for 1 (Interception). BSP was none tried. Talons went 3 for 4 passing. RS none tried. RSP none tried. WS was 2 for 2. WSP was 1 for 2. BS none tried. BSP none tried. This is just one game and were the two top teams for this season so not sure how good of a sample this is but it is a start.

Last year I started recording the length of stick used on pass plays. Prior to that I just indicated that it was a pass. I will try to go through the season and check my stats. this is the first Quarter game record for my solitaire league Championship game. My shorthand method; play type/ yards gained or lost/ ball carrier or receiver/ # in triangle is defender that got pressure/ # in circle is defender making the tackle / TD if touchdown occurred / abbreviation of team on offense to show who has the ball. RS= red stick, BS = Blue Stick, WS= White Stick . add a P if pass was under pressure (ex: WSP = White Stick with Pressure) R4 is a run through the 4 hole. So R# is always a run with the target hole indicated.

A lot of good observations already but here is my two cents. I believe the Kick returner was hung up on his blockers elbow and not the tackler’s base. As soon as he slips off that elbow he takes off skimming along the tackler base but in your rules that is not a tackle. So I say TD.

Since my daughter is painting my 1923 Dayton Triangles I decided to paint my Chiefs team myself. it has been a struggle. Realized I missed filing down many seams, I painted shoes black and then remembered they wear white shoes so had to repaint that, and the red I used was to light so I had to darken. But I will persevere.
