Pottsville In Arms-

Fight Vowed To Recapture 1925 Crown

CANTON, OHIO, December 22, 1962 (AP)- The
Pottsville, Pa. Maroons again are campaigning
for the title they were denied 38 years ago-
the 1925 professional football world champion-
ship.
     Joseph C. Zacko, representing the 1925
Maroons has notified the National Professional
Football Hall of Fame here that a collection of
football momentoes will be kept out of the
shrine unless the Pottsville team is recognized
as the 1925 champ.
     In 1925 Pottsville was stripped of its title
and franchises for going into another pro team's
territory for a game with Notre Dame.
     Joseph C. Zacko, a Pottsville businessman,
said Saturday he is determined the collection
will not move out of Pottsville until the title
is restored.
     He said several former members of teh
Maroons will back the committee in efforts to
bring the matter before the National Football
League in its annual meeting at Miami Beach
next month.
     "We will donate our collection to the Hall
of Fame under one condition only," Zacko said.
"And that is that the Pottsville Maroons must
be recognized as the 1925 professional football
world champions."
     "The record books must be changed to cor-
rect the injustice perpetrated by the National
Professional League. . ."
