Nine wins and one loss was the amazing record compiled by the 1952 Longview Lumberjacks, coached Buck Hammer and Tiz Miller. During the football season the'Jacks' were only beaten once by Aberdeen in the S.W. Washington conference. This amazing team also set three new records and tied another in their quest for victory. Two of the three records were set in the game with Vancouver when the 'Jacks' amassed a total of 57 points, which topped the previous record of 47, and had a winning margin of 50 points which topped the previous record of 48. The other record was amassing 215 points for six games, which beat the old record of 158 points set by Vancouver in 1941. The record that was tied was the combined score of 64 points that occurred in the Vancouver game. The senior backfield on this team was outstanding and included Marsh, Anderson, Vestal and Earnest. The line was a powerhouse with Hartshorn, Grumbois, Day, Masterson, Christian, Nelson and Smith. Eight players on the 1952 Lumberjack team were named to the all-conference teams. First team honors went to Howard Hartshorn, Gene Grumbois, Gary Earnest and Chuck Marsh. Named to the second team were Dallas Vestal, Dale Smith, John Masterson and Dick Day. LeRoy Nelson received honorable mention.
