	Frankford Yellow Jackets
		Unfortunately that was not to be, and shortly thereafter the franchise was forfeited to the league.
		Frankford's independent seasons from 1919 thru 1921 saw Thanksgiving Day victories over the Ewing A. A., Lebanon Valley College and Bethlehem's Thomas A. These successes were followed in 1922 and 1923 by victories over New York City's first NFL team, Brickley's Giants.
		The Frankford A. also sponsored bus and train trips for fans to travel along to games in such places as Pottsville and New York, where even the host teams' sportswriters took notice of their enthusiasm.

	Camden People - GordonMackay
		In November of 1931, he wrote a column for Record which was reprinted in the Frankford Gazette of Northeast Philadelphia, concerning the demise of the Frankford Yellowjackets, an early NFL franchise.

		Back in the mid- 92()'s, the National Football League was in its infancy and the great powers were the Canton Bulldogs, the Frankford Yellowjackets, the Chicago Staleys (later the Bears), the Green Bay Packers, the New York Giants and the Pottsville Maroons.
