Jacobson: Helping kids was lifelong goal
Continued from Page 10A
During his career, Jacob-
son coached football, track
and field and tennis,
wrestling and basketball
from 1947 to 1962.
“We didn’t have a lot of
coaches in those days,”
Kunke said. “He and I
coached everything. We had
a janitor who had been a
professional wrestler and he
coached wrestling. That was
the extent of the coaching
staff. He was pretty busy.”
Jacobson was known for
making the best of situa-
tions from helping to lead
the football program to
hosting track meets.
“The very first year we
were coaching (in 1964), we
didn’t have a track,” former
Dallas track and field coach
Paul Ward said. “Lake Os-
wego came up with two bus-
loads. There weren’t any
fences and they walked all
the way across the football
field looking for the track. We
had a grass track at the time.
When they found out they
had to run on grass, they
were all discombobulated.”
Jacobson’s contributions
while working with the
school district were many,
and Jacobson didn’t stop at
coaching. He also served as
athletic director for a num-
ber of years.
No matter what his role
was, Jacobson provided a
role model for all his stu-
dents to follow.
“I never once saw him
lose his temper or lose his
cool,” Steve Villwock said.
Villwock, a 1960 graduate of
Dallas High, played quarter-
back from 1957-59 and ran
track in 1960 under Jacob-
FALLS CITY ROUNDUP
son. “He had a good rapport
with the players. Everyone
liked him.”
Throughout Jacobson’s
career with the Dallas
School District, his focus
was on one thing: helping
students.
His impact on those lives
he touched was immense
and he kept in contact with
many of his students long
after he retired, Villwock
said. More importantly, he
taught life lessons and
helped his student-athletes
become better people.
“He took everything in
stride,” Villwock said. “He
was always very positive. ... I
was always impressed with
the man as a coach and a
person.”
