The legacy of Linfield football is one for the record books – and now, for the archives
With a win over Pacific University on October 16, 2021, Linfield football added another year to “The Streak,” its all-divisions record for consecutive winning seasons in college football.
After 65 years of unparalleled success, Linfield’s football program has many stories to tell. The summer 2021 issue of Linfield Magazine shared some of them in the article, “Streaking into the History Books.” More of those stories are now in the Linfield Archives as part of a project, “The Streak: The National Record that Continues.” The collection includes 14 interviews with members of the 1956 team, as well as news articles, memorabilia, game programs and other documents.
There are, however, more stories to tell. If you would like to share your stories or momentos with the Linfield Archives, contact Rich Schmidt, director of archives and resource sharing, at 503-883-2734 or rschmidt@linfield.edu.
