After purchasing the
Edmonds Warriors and taking the best
players, Lafa resurrected the Ramblers name for one season prior to
renaming the team the Seattle Rangers.
George Fleming kicked an 11-yard FG with 3:06
remaining to surpass the Portland Thunderbolts and wrap up the '66 PFL
Championship.
July 2, 1967 Little All-American Joe Peyton from
Puget Sound University signs a contract with the Seattle Rangers.
Peyton goes on to 3 consecutive All-Star selections with the Rangers.
Joining Peyton in signing contracts are Martin Wyatt (HB -Washington)
and John Yersick (C - Notre Dame), Roger Dunn (G - Washington).
Peyton would take the head coaching job of the Puget Sound track team,
and assistant football coach spot on the football team in July 1968
The opener with Victoria had to be cancelled
because lighting installation had not been completed at Victoria's home
field..
Lane attempted to hire Denver Broncos staff member
Paul Massey to coach the 1969 team. However when Lane wanted to retain
Dick Berg as General Manager and not give Massey the reigns to that
position, Paul decided against taking the position to replace the
departed Mel McCain.
Kermit Jorgenson was a key fullback for the
Ramblers in 1966 while Don Mann played end receiving passes from Dick
Berg. Former Oregon halfback Larry Hill starred as well.
Jorgensen tallied 666 yards rushing on 170 attempts
in 1967 after rushing for 859 yards in 1966 as a Seattle Rambler.
A leg injury would keep him out until 1969.
In the West Coast Championship, Berg exploded for 5 passing touchdowns
and 322 yards through the air including a 4th quarter bomb to Don Mann
of 93-yards that kicked off a 28-point avalanche in what was a 20-13
game at the time. Seattle picked off 6 San Jose passes.
