The 1941 Oklahoma City vs. Youngstown football game was a college football game between the Oklahoma City University Goldbugs and the Youngstown College Penguins played on October 16, 1941. The game was played in Rayen Stadium in Youngstown, Ohio. The game marks the first use of the penalty flag in American football.[2]
Youngstown was highly favored against Oklahoma City in the press, based on their undefeated record up to that point.[3]
Youngstown defeated Oklahoma City by a score of 48 to 7.[4]
Aftermath
Game official Jack McPhee said, "Through the use of the signal flag, everyone in the stadium knows that something is wrong. It's been a big help."[5] Officials generally agreed that the game play was better with the use of the penalty flag instead of the previous methods of blowing a whistle to mark a penalty.[6] The American Football Coaches Association officially introduced the penalty flag at the 1948 rules session.[5]
In 1969, the original penalty flag was turned over to the College Football Hall of Fame.[7]
The penalty flag is now standard officiating equipment and is used in every competitive football game throughout the world.[5]
