Tackle / Guard
Lebanon Valley College; Dickinson College
1924-1925; 1927-1931
Dickinson College captain Russell “Bull” Behman was on the Frankford roster during every season they were in the NFL— except for 1926, when he jumped to the short-lived Philadelphia Quakers of the rival American Football League. Both the Quakers and the Yellow Jackets won league championships that season, though they never faced each other for city bragging rights. Despite being captain of the 1925 team, coach Guy Chamberlin famously benched Behman after a lackluster performance in Frankford’s 49–0 loss to Pottsville.
