The Northwest Amateur Football League was formed in
1933 with the West Seattle Yellowjackets as the centerpiece. The
'Jackets would dominate the league for 4 straight seasons before a new
team, the Renton Rams appeared on the scene to steal the title away.
Yakima joined the league in 1935. The league
uses National Professional rules, which permit passing from the line of
scrimmage or anywhere behind and tend to open up and speed up the game.
The Yellowjackets wrestled it away again in 1938,
but Enumclaw, longtime nemesis of West Seattle would finally claim the
championship in 1939 only to lose it the next season to a saavy group
from the Boeing manufacturing plant in Seattle. This team would
use defense to win the championship going eight games without anyone
crossing their goal line.
The Yellowjackets would claim the final Northwest
Amateur Football championship before the league gave way to the War
Industries Leagues which formed as the nation went to war in 1942.
1941 was also the last time the Yellowjackets were seen as the team
dissolved into the Seattle Shipbuilders who were former Yellowjackets
not taken up by the military. |
