1954 Portland 6-Man Champions

 

 

 

 

Herman DeVault announced his intentions to move his champion 6-man squad into the 11-man pro ranks, the first Portland semi-pro venture since the 1930's.  A 25-man roster was planned to take on the Seattle Ramblers, Fort Lewis, McChord Air Base among other college and military teams.

 

The team debuted against a town team from Scio in a benefit game to raise money for field lighting.  DeVault's won 7-0.

 

Players: Chuck Odor (QB), Hank Habeggar (E), Red Bechtol (L/PK)

 

The venture was short lived due to lack of player interest and the team returned to a 7-man format in the Park Bureau league.
