DEDIC T10 O To the Nationally Recognized 1941 Paoi io Lutheran Football Team To the Champs: There was something different about you. lt took root in l939, the first year of the new league we came to know as Winko. More than the winning hastened fans to old Lincoln bowlg it was the breathless way you won. One night Marv Tommervik threw ll in a row and you beat Cheney and an Associated Press man spent the rest of that night assuring skeptical newspapers there was such a place as Parkland and a team called Pacific Lutheran. You swept the slate in l949 and only Stanford in the West did as well. The press went giddy over a band of fellows from a little school that had no field except a gravel pit, no goal posts except the fir boughs. Fifteen thousand watched you stop a mighty team called Gonzaga. That was the November night the wire hummed about the nerve of I-larshman trying his unexpected field goal, telling his mates, You hold it and l'll kick it. A Along came 1941 and you were the heroes of a city of ll9,999, plus the Loyalists of Parkland. Gonzaga was only a warmup before 29,999. Victory came on victory, l8 in succession before Portland University finally snipped the string. That stung a little, but the next week you whipped College of the Pacific and shook the hand of the game's grand old man, Stagg. Your exploits jumped from the sports pages to the front page. I We could speak of the records, the all-star honors, the pages of pictures and praise. They loomed so big at the time. But even bigger is the school you introduced to a nation, the playgrounds and athletic fields you left as a heritage to those who follow. These will be your pride when the clouds of war have passed beyond and you have come home. A -David lames.
