McMinnville N-R/News-Register photos and clipping from 1956. Photo of Linfield College head football Coach Durham with players in letter jackets might have been taken after the 11/10/1956 game (Linfield College won, 21-7) vs. Pacific in McMinnville, but before the 11/17/1956 game (Linfield won 27-13) in McMinnville vs. Southern Oregon. Players in uniform posing were taken probably in early September 1956, before season started 9/22/1956. Photo of Coach Paul Durham at a blackboard might have been taken during the season. Note the schedule (from Linfield Sports Info) showing Linfield had only two road games and both of those were nearby, one in Monmouth vs OCE and the others in Salem vs Willamette.
