Pro Football Historian (PFH) is a blog page written by Flint Given. Pro Football Historian or PFH is a page to inform people on prior NFL events that people might not know about. Learning about teams from the 1920s or even the first few NFL World Championships in the 1930s fascinates me. It's these kinds of events that I want to discuss in this blog. Hopefully you are interested and will continue to check up on my blogs.

Who Were The Elwood American Legion?
The Elwood American Legion was an independent football team that played games in 1921. They played every game at home at Plate Glass Field in Elwood, Indiana. Elwood would start the season with two shutout victories. A 3-0 victory over the Muncie Avondale A.A. and then a 13-0 victory Alexandria Tigers. Late in September Elwood would go on to defeat the Noblesville Independents 52-7. The following week, Elwood would end up playing the Muncie Flyers of the APFA. The American Legion would lose 74-0 to the Flyers. Elwood American Legion would win the next three games against the Hartford City A.C. (12-0), Fort Benjamin Harrison (30-3), and Jonesboro A.C.
