Background


On August 1, 1925, Timothy Mara and Will Gibson were granted a franchise by the National Football League (NFL) for their newly organized team in New York City — the New York Football Giants. Cost of the franchise was $2,500.

The November 8 game against the Columbus Tigers was played in a driving rain which fell continuously throughout the contest, keeping the attendance down to fewer than 4,000 spectators. Although marking the third consecutive National League victory for the expansion Giants, the win came at substantial cost when star halfback Hinkey Haines suffered a broken nose shortly after kickoff, with fears being aired that his injury was so severe that he could be lost for the rest of the season. The Giants drew blood in the opening frame when Jack McBride hit Dutch Hendrian with a 10 yard pass from the Columbus 40, with Hendrian taking the ball the final 30 yards on a gallop through the thick Polo Grounds mud. Columbus missed a 20 yard field goal attempt and later threw a pick from the 10-yard line, thus squandering their two best chances at scoring. The Football Giants added two touchdowns in the fourth, one a 20 yard run by Bill Rooney and the other an interception returned 50 yards for a touchdown by Doc Alexander to finish the 19–0 shutout of the Tigers.
