All-Star team of players who played semi-pro football

1962 New York Titans / Buffalo Bills

I read something yesterday that implied with Harry Wismer being out of money in 1962 the Titan's coaches were not getting paid and did not actively coach in the September 22nd 17-6 Titan victory in Buffalo.
