Muncie Flyers

The origins of the team show that it evolved from the Congerville (Muncie) Athletic Club, which dates back to at least 1905.

The Congerville Flyers played briefly in 1917, but they did not field a team in 1918 due to the United States involvement in World War I and the influenza epidemic.

Scheduled to be on this team were famous college players: Dick Abrel of Purdue and Al Feeney of Notre Dame.

However, a week later, on September 9, Ball announced that he had released all the players he had signed and that he would not be fielding a team due to the war.

The local press was convinced that had Muncie fielded this team, it would have no doubt been strong contenders for the state championship.

The Flyers played some strong teams, including the Wabash Athletic Association, Fort Wayne War Vets, and Cincinnati Celts.

The Flyers came back in late November and early December and won three non-APFA games, finishing with a 3–1–0 overall (0–1–0 APFA) record.

Returning to the APFA in 1921, the Flyers opened the season by crushing the non-APFA Elwood Legion, then lost league games against the Evansville Crimson Giants, and, at home, against the Cincinnati Celts.

They were scheduled to play on November 13, 1921, against the Green Bay Packers, but that game was canceled, leaving the Flyers with a 1–2–0 overall (0–2–0 APFA) record.
