Walter Stuns

Fullback

South End Athletic Club

1929 - 1930

West Seattle Yellowjackets

1931 - 1934

After showing his wares in the Seattle Community League as an All-Star fullback with the South End Athletic Club from 1929-1930, the little known Stuns was recruited to play for the highly regarded West Seattle Yellowjackets.  The former Grover Cleveland high school basketball star made the 28-member team for 1931 and the newly installed Notre Dame offense was a perfect fit.

 By 1933 "Piledriver" Stuns was the 2nd leading scorer in the league behind backfield mate Louie Linstead who also served as the team kicker.  The dynamic fullback and two-way linebacker helped lead the Yellowjackets to dominance through the depression-era grid scene winning outright championships in 1931, 1933 and 1934.

Always an outstanding athlete, the fullback donned basketball gear in spring of 1934 for the Gilmore Steel Mill team where he was now working in Portland, Oregon after starring on the hardcourts for South Park near Seattle.  He made the train trek back-and-forth for Yellowjacket football games in the fall/winter of the 1934 championship season starting at fullback once again.
