Jim's consistency in passing, punting, and line bucking will long be remembered by fans. Those who knew him recognize him by his flashing smile and dark curly hair, and his famous winning personality. The combination in the backfield of Jim Dcnsmorc and Rod O'Meara, quarterback, was one that will be hard to equal. For the entire season Rod was credited with playing four quarters in every game, while Jim missed only one quarter during the whole season.
