1944 PCFL
In 1944 there were numerous changes in the Pacific Coast Football League. The Alameda Mustangs moved to San Jose and became the San Jose Mustangs; the Hollywood Wolves entered the league for 1944; and the membership of the Los Angeles Mustangs was revoked by the team owners to protest owner Bill Freelove's raiding of Jerry Corcoran's Los Angeles Bulldogs roster. Freelove responded by forming a new league, the American Football League (with Jerry Giesler as president). In 1944, an unprecedented five Los Angeles area teams were competing in either of the rival leagues. Both leagues had undefeated champions (the PCFL Bombers had won their third consecutive title). On December 21, 1944, PCFL league president J. Rufus Klawans announced a merger between the two leagues. Immediately afterward, the AFL champion Hollywood Rangers and PCFL champion San Diego Bombers scheduled two games, one at each team's home, to decide the “unified” Pacific Coast championship. Hollywood swept San Diego, winning 42-7 and 21-10, for the bragging rights. On the field, it was no contest. The San Diego Bombers easily won the 1944 PCFL Championship by a comfortable four games over the second place San Francisco Packers (4-3-0) and the Oakland Giants (4-3-0). The Bombers averaged a whopping 37.2 points per game, as they rolled to the 1944 PCFL Title.
