Looking back 70 years ago to the fall of 1956, was another stout Wildcat Football team. Led by Coach Willard Sawyer - a former 3rd team all-stater in 1943 for Estherville - the Wildcats rode a stiff defense to a 6-2 overall record, with only 3 teams able to score 2 or more touchdowns against the Wildcats. Going 5-2 in the Eastern Iowa Hawkeye Conference was good enough for a 2nd place finish! A season ending blanking of Wapello was the exclamation point on a great season.

Seniors on the 1956 team: Jerry Hamilton, Paul Pennington, Gary Cassabaum, Lee Morrison, Myron Frisk, Joe Harbison, Jack Morrison, Dennis Murry, Larry Rutt, Larry Prior, Paul Duncan, Larry Robertson, Frank Jamison

Does anyone remember the time that Nile Kinnick took the field here at Columbus? Back in 1941, the former Hawkeye brought his talents as an exhibition to halftime of a Wildcat football game. What an awesome piece of history! Kinnick would report for active duty just two months later, just before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

What an amazing scene that must have been, seeing the 1939 Heisman Trophy winner on the Columbus field!
