October During the half-time activi- ties of the Lamesa game. Pat Tidwell Cosby was crowned Foot- ball Sw e e th e a r t of 1 954. The runners-up f o r this cherished honor were Peggy Hogan and Janice Nalley. Frosty Robison, Brick Johnson, and Lefty Rey- nolds were the Black Knights who were selected to escort the queen and her court. A Cadillac con- vertible carried the trio of girls around the field. Each of the girls were sent a mum by the football players and Pat was presented with a bouquet of gold munns by Lefty. The radiant sweetheart was crowned with a football helnnet and was given the tradi- tional kiss by Frosty Robison, one of the team ' s co-captains. Pat was a football sweetheart in the truest sense of the word, for she married her football hero, Buddy Cosby.
