Presentation of the Totem Trophy by the Young Men's Business Club was made on November 2, 1963, to Coach John Heinrick of the University of Puget Sound. Seniors Ralph Bauman (#60) and Jack Sather (#23) stand next to their coach. The Loggers came from behind to defeat Pacific Lutheran University 9-7 to claim the Totem Trophy which is given to the winner of the annual match. UPS took home the Totem Trophy for the 13th time in 17 attempts. The tradition of Logger-Lute football dates back to about 1931 and is one of the longest running rivalries in the Northwest. Coach Heinrick was a coach, teacher and administrator at the University of Puget Sound for 30 years. Each year an award is given for the most inspirational athlete in Mr. Heinrick's name.
