Owned by the New Jersey Athletic Association (headed by NJAA president William Coughlin),[1] the Bears played their home games in Davids' Stadium.
Coached by player-coach Hal Hansen, the majority of the team played their college football in Georgia and Florida.
[3] While the Bears’ defense was respectable (yielding only five points per game), the lack of offensive production resulted in a record of no wins, three losses, and two ties.
After only 400 fans attended a scoreless game (with the Rock Island Independents) in Davids’ Stadium on October 24, 1926, the Bears withdrew from the AFL… the first team to call it quits in the American Football League.
While his major league football career ended with the folding of the Bulldogs three weeks later, the career of the only person to score points for the Bears, Doug Wycoff extended beyond the end of the AFL, joining the New York Giants for the 1927 season.
