Description

University of Washington football coach John Cherberg, third from right, visits some Lincoln High School athletes in 1955. Luther Carr, third from the left, went on to star for the Huskies in football and track from 1956-58. Carr led the team in rushing as a sophomore with 469 yards and five touchdowns, then as a senior led the Huskies in receiving, punt returns and kickoff returns. He played for the Oakland Raiders in the American Football League in 1960 before a spinal injury ended his career. Cherberg coached the Huskies from 1953-55 and was Washington's lieutenant governor from 1957-89. Four other Lincoln players in the photo went to UW on football scholarships: Duane Lowell (second from left), Dennis Alder (sitting, fourth from left), Jack Walters (sitting, second from right) and Joe Williams (right). Carr was inducted into the Tacoma-Pierce County Sports Hall of Fame in 2005, Williams in 2010.
