The Arizona was commissioned to honor the
admittance of the State of Arizona into the United States. The
battleship was a Pennsylvania-class "super-dreadnought". Launched
on June 19, 1915, the ship served state-side during WWI and is now the
most famous victim of the Dec 7, 1941 sneak attack on Pearl Harbor where
she lies at the bottom, a silent tomb for 1,177 sailors, many of whom
made up the Arizona's football team.
Players on the Arizona football team were accorded
special privileges, including help in advancement and rating, so they
would remain happy and stay with the ship. The big year for
football was 1935. All-American Buzz Borries really put the
finishing touch on a team that was talented already. Enlisted men
such as Carl Gleason, Charles Rourk, and John Hostinksky had been on the
squad since the ship went back into service in 1931. The coach was
Lt. Hank Hardwick who later coached the Naval Academy.
