1951 Seattle Ramblers vs Bellingham All Stars Hugh McElhenny Benefit Bowl Game
Back in 1951, 2 weeks after Hugh McElhenny's last college game with the University of Washington the First Annual March of Dimes Benefit Bowl Game was organized and held on Dec. 9, at 1:30 p. At Battersby Field in Bellingham, Washington. Hugh McElhenny was the main draw for this benefit for the March of Dimes.

As he was soon to become a first team All American halfback and be drafted in the first round by the San Francisco 49'ers. And end up in the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio in 1970. I've never seen another program like this and it may be the only one still around. I think the Seattle Ramblers were just getting going (1950) so this is more than likely the first "All Star" game for a lot of these young football players.

Another player that I see is Marv Cross from the Washington State team and he was drafted by the NFL Philadelphia Eagles and had a short career but was a NWAC Hall of Fame football coach in the state of Washington. The program has top right corner bends but otherwise in pretty good condition for being 70 years old. It is 8 1/2''x 11'' and has 8 pages with NO writing or tears.
