Located in rural Moraga, California is St. Mary's College, a small Catholic liberal arts college with an enrollment of about 500 students. But in spite of its size and location, in the two decades preceding WWII, St. Mary's football team stood toe to toe with some of college football's biggest and toughest powerhouses. The St. Mary's Galloping Gaels made regular bowl appearances from the 1920s through the 1940s, won the Cotton Bowl in 1939 and garnered nation-wide respect as a force to be reckoned with.
When World War II broke out, St. Mary's (an all-male school) lost almost all of their students to military duty. Coach Jim Phelan was able to piece together a team together for the 1942 season, but it was feared that the St. Mary's football program might have to be suspended until the war ended.
In the 1943 season, only 20 students showed up to play on the team, and of those, only 3 weren't going to be in the military by the fall. So, Phelan decided to put together a team of players who were all freshmen, as they would be 17, and too young to be drafted into the military.
Most of the players that year were clearly young and inexperienced, but one freshman stood out.

All-American put
Hawaii in national game
By Ben Henry
Special to the Star-Bulletin HE was a popular actor, a professional baseball player and a politician. But Herman Wedemeyer's pioneering accomplishments as a football player in the 1940s made him a legend. His greatest gift to Hawaii came from his time on the football field. "The type of role model that Herman Wedemeyer was, he played the game for all the right reasons because he loved the game," said Russ Francis, who was drafted in the first round (16th overall) by the New England Patriots in 1975. "What he showed a lot of kids in Hawaii like myself, is that we don't have to feel inferior or intimidated by ... athletes on the mainland." Wedemeyer, who died Jan. 25 this year at the age of 74, was an All-American football player at St. Mary's College in California and a regular on television's "Hawaii Five-O," playing Edward D. "Duke" Lukela, from 1971-1980. Francis, a Kailua native who was the second player from Hawaii drafted in the first round and is one of five all-time, says Wedemeyer put Hawaii on the football map.

Herman "Duke" Wedemeyer passes away
From the Honolulu Advertiser By Brandon Masuoka
Advertiser Staff Writer

(January 26, 1999) Herman Wedemeyer, an All-America football player who retook the national stage three decades later as a regular on "Hawaii Five-O," died Monday, January 25, 1999. He was 74. Wedemeyer died at noon at the Queen's Medical Center of complications from a heart attack, said one of his sisters, Winona Gaison. He suffered a heart attack last week and had been on life support, she said. A native of Hilo, Wedemeyer was also a businessman who served briefly as a Honolulu city councilman and state representative. But he was best known for his performances on the football field as a halfback for St. Mary's College in California and before the cameras as cop "Duke" Lukela in "Hawaii Five-O." Wedemeyer was inducted to the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 1979. In 1945 the famed sportswriter Grantland Rice called Wedemeyer the greatest athlete in the country after he was named to the Associated Press and United Press International All-America teams that year. "Herman was all-around," said former University of Hawaii halfback Tommy Kaulukukui, 84. "He could pass and run. He was a very deceptive kind of runner, fake one way and go the other. They called him Squirmin' Herman."

Wedemeyer's accomplishments

Corky: Touchdown!
By Mary Adamski
Star-Bulletin One of Hawaii's most famous athletes, Herman J. Wedemeyer, died yesterday in Queen's Hospital. He was 74. Wedemeyer was named to the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame for his 1945 role as an All-American running back for St. Mary's College in California. He was still revered as an outstanding athlete more than 50 years after his headline-making college career, which was the topic of a 1997 Sports Illustrated feature. He was active as a successful amateur golfer familiar in recent years as a marshal and first-tee announcer at the Hawaiian Open and other golf tournaments. Wedemeyer was just as widely known for his part in the cast of the "Hawaii Five-O" television series. He played a Hawaiian policeman, "Duke Lukela," from 1968 until the popular series ended in 1980. He was elected to a term on the City Council and two terms in the state House of Representatives. "After all the years of exposure on 'Five-O,' with people always approaching him, he was still gracious and thanked them for recognizing him," said longtime friend Byron Feldman.
