Page Twenty-Four LA NIARIA Football Though comparatively small in numbers yet the brand of football played at St. Mary's has always been a source of marvel and won- der to opponents, admirers, and followers. The Saints, indeed, have built up enviable records and their gridiron prowess is well known to the en- tire football fandom of Oregon. The season of 1936 found the Saints still adding to their foot- ball fame. Playing one of the most difficult schedules ever at- tempted and handicapped by the fact that only four lettermen re- turned, Coach jimmy Robinson placed a well-trained and fighting band of warriors on the field. Fight was the byword. This spirit of do or die dominated the sixty minutes of each game. The pride of this year's team un- doubtedly was the backfield. This quartet of balltoters had all that is necessary, speed, brawn and brains. Quarterback position was held by Captain Jesse Webb. Un- der his leadership the Saints gal loped up and down the gridiron displaying a coolness and confi- dence that astounded all. At block- ing and pass receiving Webb has no peer. Big Lawrence Daly won the fullback birth. Tipping the beams at the 200 mark he bowled over the opposition with ease. One of the most dependable men on the team and certainly one of the hard- est-hitting backs in the State, Daly gave an artistic interpretation of what a good fullback is to the Notre Dame system of play, At right-half Chet Reynolds played a steady game. Relying on his natural speed, Chet swept left end constantly for large and helpful gains. With two years of competition left Reynolds un- doubtedly will be a great star on the future elevens of St. Mary's.
