1947 PCFL

Running back Buddy Abreu was the league's leading rusher and scorer as his Hawaiian Warriors won a narrow “race” with the defending champion Bulldogs by beating the team from L.A. 7-6.  Sacramento and Salt Lake dropped out of the league after canceling their home-and-home series that was scheduled to finish the PCFL season.  But having only three active members was not the only issue threatening the continuation of the existence of the league.  An investigation led by league president J.  Rufus Klawans revealed that members of the Hawaiian Warriors were placing bets on games in which they were participating.  Four (Abreu, Ray Scussell, Floyd “Scrap Iron” Rhea, and Jack Keenan) were permanently banned from the league; another ten team members were “suspended indefinitely".  In spite of all that, the Hawaiian Warriors (7-2-0) finished 1.5 games over the Los Angeles Bulldogs (5-3-0) to claim the 1947 PCFL Championship, as again, there were no playoffs.
