Who Were The Pittsburg All-Collegians?

One of the most obscure teams in professional football history is the Pittsburg All-Collegians who seem to play only one game ever. Pittsburg All-Colegians was also referred to as Washington and Jeffe (Jefferson) Collegians. They played the Rock Island Independents of APFA (later to be the NFL). Rock Island on that day was comprised of not so famous players and apparently whomever they could find in the crowd that day. One such player of note was Guy Morrison of the 1920 Evansville Evas. Morrison had 1 long run but it was evident he was not in playing shape. Many of the players seemed to respond to several names implying that some of them were playing under aliases. The game started off with a punt block for a touchdown with a 7 yard rushing touchdown to follow it in the first quarter by the Independents. In the second the Independents would get a fumble return touchdown, a passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown. The Collegians would get their only score in history in the third quarter. The Independents would get a rushing touchdown in the third quarter. Going into the fourth quarter it was 7-41 Independents. The game would end up being 7-48 after a pick six by Tom Henry. Rock Island would win the game 48-7 at Douglass Park. The Collegians would never play another game after this one and never played a game before it.
