Name change of sorts

S.E.E. Six-Man News is the new title of this blog named after Dr. Stephen Edward Ephler, inventor of Six-Man Football on or about June 20th of 1934 in Chester, Nebraska. This information was provided by his daughter Charlotte (Ephler) Gezi. She states her dad kept a daily diary most of his life and the very first mention of the game was dated June 20th, 1934, when he wrote in his diary, "Went to Football Class. I intend to adapt football to the small school. Have six players and make rules to require less equipment and less chance of injuries." As they say, the rest is history. If you love the game as I, place your hand on the nearest football paraphernalia you can find (ok to substitute kitchen table or place your hand over your heart) and repeat these words. THANK YOU DR. STEPHEN EDWARD EPHLER. Once you have done that and purchased your heirloom SMFN token you are qualified to be a Certified SMFN!!! (SixManFootballNut). They cost $2.00 cash and are available where ever you find me.
