Monmouth College Athletics

Jim Feeheley – the “Saginaw Saw” – was one of three Feeheleys from Michigan to play football for the Scots during the late 1940s. The versatile halfback was joined by his cousin, Bob, at left tackle and his brother, Tom, at guard. Called by coach Glenn “Jelly” Robinson “one of the best all around football players I have coached,” Feeheley was used regularly on both offense and defense.

Beginning in 1947 when he tallied eight touchdowns, Feeheley reigned as Monmouth’s scoring leader for three years. He was instrumental in a 22-0 rout of Knox in 1947, scoring three TDs and ripping off a 75-yard run. In 1948, Feeheley was named first team all-conference, and in a 1949 game against Cornell, he scored three TDs and had a run of 82 yards. He finished his career with 17 touchdowns.

Feeheley also competed in track and golf.
