Price Charlotte Observer: Part of Charlotte sports history dies: Babe Parilli was city’s 1st pro football coach
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article161636443.html
Parilli's journeys touched many cities...insofar as the Giants are concerned as a rookie he led the Packers to a important victory over the Giants in 1952:
"(NEW YORK) - At 2:05 p.m. Sunday the New York Giants were riding high - tied for the American Conference lead and boasting of successive victories over the Chicago Cards and the tough San Francisco 49ers. A little over two hours later, when Green Bay's hard driving Packers were through with them, things
were different.
Midway in the second quarter, quarterback Babe Parilli, whose running and passing were outstanding all afternoon, got away a high, lazy kick and the Giants took over on the Packer 41. Two running plays and a short pass from
Charlie Conerly to Bill Striblin left the New Yorkers short. On fourth down Poole booted a 42-yard field goal and the crowd of 26,723 got a chance to do its only cheering of the day. A few minutes later former Wisconsin back Clarence Self pounced on a Giant fumble on the 40. Two passes from Parilli and a couple of running plays brought the ball to the 13 and then Parilli heaved the ball toward Stretch Elliott. Three husky adherents of the New Yorkers' "umbrella" defense were escorting Elliott at the time, but he ignored them until the ball was safely in his grasp on the Giants' one-foot mark. With less than a minute left in the half, Parilli took matters into his own hands and the score as 6-3. Fred Cone's conversion was good. In the first series of plays in the third quarter, the Giants managed to get the ball from their own 16 to the 22 when Conerly changed his mind about trying to pass, started to run and fumbled. Hal Faverty clutched the ball to his bosom and that led to a series of running plays, which brought the Packers a first down on the four. Three plays later Bob Mann caught Parilli's pass in the end zone as he fell to the ground. Cone's kick made it 14-3. Featured by the fancy running of Eddie Price, the New Yorkers then racked up a series of first downs that seemed to have proved fruitless when Bobby Dillon intercepted Conerly's pass on the Packers 15. However, the officials ruled that the Green Bay players had been roughing the pass and gave the ball back to the Giants on Green Bay's eight. Kyle Rote tried the line but was stopped cold. Price, three tacklers clinging to him, bulled ahead to the five. Conerly missed Rote with a pass into the end zone and, on fourth down, Price was brought down on the three. That was as close the Giants got to pay dirt. Conerly was yanked with about 10 minutes left of the fourth quarter and his substitute, Benners, abandoned the Giants' running game entirely. In the 17 plays that the New Yorkers ran off after he came in, Benners either passed or tried to in 16 of them. On the other occasion he ran the ball back seven yards when he could not find a prospective receiver. The victory kept the Packers tied with Los Angeles for second place in the National Conference with a 5-3 record. It knocked the Giants out of their first place tie with the Browns in the American Conference. And it made a lot of New Yorkers, who had looked on Sunday's encounter as something of a breather for their favorites, wonder what has been going on among the Green Bay representatives the last few weeks."
