Lamb, the 6'0" 185lb defensive end
was an unsung part of the 1948-1949 Rainier Beach AC
team who came over with Coach Sprinkle to the Seattle
Ramblers in 1950. In 1951, after battling injuries
the previous year, Dale locked down the defensive edge
of the line against the running attacks of all
opponents, while also serving Seattle on the offensive
side of the ball as a tight end, taking the occasional
"end-around", surprising opposing defenses with the big
man with a full head of steam. His play in '51 was
rewarded by his teammates with the Inspirational Award
at the annual team banquet. Lamb edged out
teammate Lowell Wardien for the honors. Wardien
scored 11 rushing touchdowns on the season to lead the
Ramblers.
