1941 PCFL
1941 was the second of nine seasons for the Pacific Coast Football League. The PCFL was a professional American football league based in California. It operated from 1940 through 1948. One of the few minor American professional sports leagues that competed in the years of World War II, the PCFL was regarded as a minor league of the highest level, particularly from 1940 to 1945, at a time in which the National Football League did not extend further west than Chicago and Green Bay. It was also the first professional football league to have a team based in Hawaii (the Hawaiian Warriors). Formed from the wreckage of a failed California Pro Football League, the PCFL showcased the Los Angeles Bulldogs and the Hollywood Bears. The league became the “home” of African American football stars (including Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, and, briefly, Jackie Robinson) as the NFL had developed and enforced a color barrier in 1934 and extended until 1946. The season was cut short after the attack on Pearl Harbor (the military was fearing another West Coast attack). Kenny Washington led the Bears to a perfect season (8-0-0), having beaten Los Angeles three times to clinch the title. Washington's UCLA
teammate Jackie Robinson played briefly for the Bulldogs before moving to Honolulu. Steve Bagarus of the San Diego Bombers had a 100-yard interception return against the Bears, and Kink Richards repeated as the leagues high scorer.
