Thanks Jeff - I agree - nothing seems to point to Swede's father having played in the NFL. In the mid-twenties - town teams, teams sponsored by companies etc. were still doing well. I would guess the NFL was still playing these non-league teams at that time too.
I'd love to see a program or anything that shows the elder Johnston played football - seems like such a strange thing for National Chicle to just make up - but its sure not easy to confirm.
