Do You Remember…?
Itasca Football 1935, 36, 37 Columnist Carl Sweeney, reprinted from Issue #41, 2006
There was a short period of time in Itasca’s football history that was often referred to
as “The Glory Years.” They were 1935, 1936, and 1937. We won more games than any
other like period, winning 33 games and losing only three.
The coach to accomplish this was Wiley Grinnel. He was a native of Sherman, TX,
where he attended school, and excelled in football, track, and basketball. After high
school, he attended Austin College and did well until his senior year when an injury
ended his playing career. He came to Itasca in 1935 to teach Ancient History and coach
football and track. The outlook for our team wasn’t good then. But he instilled inspiration and confidence that
spread even to the Monday morning and grand stand quarterbacks. He used the then Notre Dame system, using
deception and trick plays, and ball control, yet sacrificing none of the powers to be gained otherwise.
As was stated above, during the three years he coached, Itasca won 33 games and lost only three. The team
during that time scored 945 points to the opponents 142. In 1935 and 36, Itasca was runner-up, or second in the
district, losing two games the first year, one the second year and none the third year. Winning the district, then
bi-district and beating Marlin 30 to 12 for the region, was as high as a “B” team could go at that time. We were
the third highest team in the state in 1937, scoring 483 points to our opponents 31 points.
In three years coach Grinnel had eleven boys make “All District 1st Team,” seven made the “2nd Team,” six
made the “All Regional 1st Team” and five to the “All Regional 2nd Team.”
Sam Baker was selected as “All State Class B” star by Coca-Cola and Southwestern Sports Magazine. Itasca’s
backfield captain, Wendell Jordan, gained 2004 yards during the 1937 season. Itasca had boys from those 3 teams
play for the following colleges; Texas Tech, Austin College, Texas Christian University, Denton Teacher College
(UNT), Tulane, Baylor and Hillsboro Junior College. There could have been others that I was not aware of. Ollie
Baker, All Regional Back and Edgar Compton, All Regional End attended Baylor. Wayne Gardner, quarterback
for the 1937 team went on to coach at Waco High for many years and did
exceptionally well. He was one of the most popular coaches Waco High has
ever had. Remember, region was as high as our “B” team could go then. I
don’t think there is a “B” team category now. Also during Coach Grinnel’s
tenure, we lost only one track meet.
Another interesting story about Coach Grnnel was “Wiley Grinnel’s
unique football book.” His wife and son presented him with a book for his
birthday. It was entitled “Everything I Knew About the Dallas Cowboys” by
Wiley Grinnel. When he opened it there was nothing but blank pages. He
took a lot of teasing. But then he turned the joke around by soliciting some
of his favorite coaches and the players to write in his book. Each one was
sent a letter of explanation and two blank pages to write about the Cowboys
or something relating to football with their picture and a bio. The response
was so unbelievable, more than 400 celebrities replied with handwritten
messages. He finally moved into his sixth volume that sounded like a list of
“Who’s Who.” We cannot, of course, list them all but some who responded
were; Tom Landry, Roger Stauback, Bum Phillips, Boak Walker, Gerald
Ford, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Gil Brandt, Dan Meredith, Johnny
Unitas, Jackie Sherill in subsequent volumes there were “Bear” Bryant, Don
Shula, Danny White, Pete Roselle, Bob Griese, Bob Hope, Earl Campbell,
George Blanda, Hershel Walker, Charlie Waters, Archie Manning, Larry
Csonka, George Plimpton, Jack Dempsey, Kevin Sweeney, Bill Walsh, Paul
Hackett and many others. Just think what all those letters and autographs
would be worth. His famous players also contributed their letters, too, like
Wayne Gardner, “Skipper” Jordan, Cub Sanderson and Ollie Baker.
