A native of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, he was recruited to Lafayette College, where he played on their football team for four years. He then had a three-year professional football career in the Anthracite, National Football, and first American Football leagues. Afterwards he worked as an English and Latin teacher, remaining involved in football by officiating high school and college games. He died in June 2003 at the age of 101. Early lifeMarhefka, the son of Czech immigrants, was born in 1902 in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. He was an orphan by the age of 13 and attended the Benedictine Academy, where he was athletically involved in several sports. He entered Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania in 1920.[1] Football careerA halfback, Marhefka spent four seasons, 1920 through 1924, on Lafayette's football team under coach Jock Sutherland. In 1921 the squad went undefeated, but the college's president refused to allow them to compete in the Rose Bowl. After graduation, he was picked up by the Pottsville Maroons[1] and played with them during their sole season in the Anthracite League, in which they were the champions.[2] He remained with the team when they joined the National Football League the following year and was with them when, despite having the best record in the league, they were denied the 1925 NFL championship after being controversially suspended. He had a final season in professional football with the 1926 Philadelphia Quakers of the first American Football League, in which they were the champions.[1] Marhekfa appeared in two games for the team during the season.[3] Later lifeAfter his playing career ended, Marhefka settled in Easton and worked as an English and Latin teacher at the local high school until 1968. He also served for many years as a swimming coach[1] and a high school and college football official.[4] He had one child, Joe Jr., with his first wife, prior to her death, and married his second wife, Gladys Walker, in 1947. Joe Jr. also played football for Layfayette.[5] He died on June 30, 2003 of congestive heart failure, at the age of 101, several months after falling at his home. He was the last surviving member of the 1925 Pottsville Maroons[1] and Lafayette's oldest alumnus.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|last = Devlin|first = Ron|title = The last of the Maroons|newspaper = The Morning Call|publisher = Tribune Company|date = 2003-07-05|url = http://articles.mcall.com/2003-07-05/news/3495441_1_socks-lafayette-college-tender-feet|accessdate = 2013-05-25}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Marhefka, Joe}}2. ^{{cite news|title = POTTSVILLE WINS ANTHRACITE TITLE|newspaper = Philadelphia Bulletin|date = 1924-11-24}} 3. ^{{cite web|title = Joe Marhefka, Past Stats, Statistics, History, and Awards|publisher = databaseFootball.com|date = 2011|url = http://www.databasefootball.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=MARHEJOE01|accessdate = 2013-05-25|deadurl = yes|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120601123808/http://databasefootball.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=MARHEJOE01|archivedate = 2012-06-01}} 4. ^1 {{cite press release|title = Lafayette Football Great Joe Marhefka Passes Away|publisher = Lafayette Leopards|date = 2003-07-02|url = http://www.goleopards.com/genrel/070203aaa.html|accessdate = 2013-05-25}} 5. ^{{cite news|last = Meixell|first = Ted|title = Joe Marhefka Played 4 Times In The Game|newspaper = The Morning Call|publisher = Tribune Company|date = 1996-11-22|url = http://articles.mcall.com/1996-11-22/sports/3117458_1_lehigh-pop-warner-marhefka|accessdate = 2013-05-25}} 11 : 1902 births|2003 deaths|People from Phillipsburg, New Jersey|Sportspeople from Easton, Pennsylvania|Lafayette College alumni|American centenarians|American football halfbacks|Philadelphia Quakers (AFL) players|Pottsville Maroons players|Pottsville Maroons (Anthracite League) players|Players of American football from Pennsylvania |
