Van Brocklin — fighter and lover
Bench, plaque mark spot where he met his wife in 1946
From the Sidelines
ASHI.I Y CONKLIN
Most people art> either lovers or fighters Norm
Van Brocklin was both
The Dull liman was one of the greatest quarter
backs to ever plus and his fiery competitiveness
led both himself and his teams to greatness
Sportswriter Murray Oldermnn captured the
Van Brocklin temperament in a book on NFL
quarterbacks ' lie v\us Ted Williams in shoulder
pads .1 bit more approachable, not as prolane,
but just as truculent and equally the artist What
Williams was to hitting. Van Brocklin was to the
forw ard pass
Van Brocklin was also a romantic, marrying the
biology lab instructor he met as a student at the
University The Dutchman didn't know losing,
whether on or off the field That's how he got
(dona Schiewe to dale and later murrv him
Olderman also mentioned this in his book, de
bating whether one could be both a lighter and .1
lover
"Van Brocklin is a paradox in many wavs,'
Olderman wrote "There's the calm, reflective
side His dedication affects the kids who play
for him. who know he's a hard man and lake his
comments, which 1 an sometimes !>e i ruel
Van BltH kiln's great feat in tile game of love is
even marked on i ampus A bench and plaque in
front of Deady Hall mark the spot where Van
Itrix klm met (lloria -15 years ago
The two met under a shady maple tree in front
of tile campus' oldest building I he memorial,
11 ud 11 a ted to tilor I a Seine we, ('lass of '4b, Norm
Van Brocklin. ( lass ol 4'l was dedicated earlier
this year by their 1 hlldren three ol their own
and three adopted from a friend who died in an
auto ac<ddenl
I lie plaque, in the concrete slab below the five
loot wooden bench, simply says it .ill It is here
wo unit nnd here wo will always bo
On campus, that memorial is seemingly the
only reminder (bat Brocklin passed 'through (ho
! adversity before liis greatness on Iho NI-'L grid
irons
Maybe liecause Van Brocklin only played two
seasons at quarterback for the Ducks and left be
fore Ins senior season, lie is remembered more by
the NI-'L than the University Sure, many still con
sider him a legend, but when Bill Musgrave was
overhauling the passing record books last fall,
Musgrave was compared to all the great Oregon
quarterbacks of the pas! Bob Berry. George
Shaw, Dan bouts and Chris Miller except
Norm Van Brocklin
Perhaps the ties! tribute to Van Brocklin is the
bench and plaque honoring the special affair lie
and his wife enjoyed before he died in 1983 and
she in 1987. The marriage, the children and now
the tiench show a special side to the Dutchman,
one many didn't know existed We would much
rather rememlier the greatness of the quartcrbai k,
coach and husband than we would his orneri
ness
The bench that remembers Van Brocklin and
bis wile's love is a part of history that we might
consider our own someday, just like they did
The hem h has romanticism apart from the
Dutchman and Gloria It is a beautiful, cozy,
shady getaway under tfi.it big tree where many
can rei line in its comfort away from the searing
summer sun.
It is a place where a lighter could easily become
a lover, too
