Hampden-Sydney College

An outstanding athlete, Jim Frazer excelled in both track and football for the Tigers.  In track, he was the first man in the state of Virginia to throw the shotput over 50 feet and the discus over 150 feet.  He established school records in the shot put (50' 1/8") and discus (150' 7").  In addition, he was captain of the track team.

As a football player, he was named to the All Little-Eight football squad as a tackle for three years.  Coach Jim Hickey stated, "Jim was one of the best offensive linemen I've ever coached."  During his years at H-SC, the Tigers posted two 8-1 seasons.  Perhaps the highlight of his football career occurred against Washington and Lee during the 1955 season, when he intercepted a lateral pass from the Generals' quarterback and lumbered ten yards for his only score of the season.

After his career at H-SC, Frazer was drafted by the Cleveland Browns.  Jim is in the insurance business and lives in Richmond.
