The El Dorado Junior College football team of ' 37 and ' 38 was not noted for its sweeping victories. In fact few were the times that Fortune thrust upon the squad the opportunity to drink from the golden cup of victory. Defeat may have been our lot, but the margin between defeat and victory was narrow. We lost only one game by a margin of more than one touchdown. In the Dodge City game, Lady Luck drew straws to decide the victor. The goal was crossed in the waning moments of the game for the touchdown which would have brought a one point victory to El Dorado ' s gridiron stalwarts. But from the hand of that fickle maiden, Lady Luck, El Dorado drew the short straw and bowed in defeat by the decision of the referee. The gun had sounded a split second before the ball was in play. Then again, on the rain-soaked gridiron of lola Junior College the Juco Grizzlies fought to a scoreless tie. These efforts were, however, rewarded and the worth of that stubborn defense, which had kept that narrow margin all season, shown in a sweeping ten to nothing victory over Chanute. But now the season has faded into oblivion and the staunch supporters of El Dorado Junior College are looking forward to the season of ' 38 and ' 39. We are placing our faith in Coach Hersh Cornwell, who will lead his boys to higher pinnacles of success by his unwavering enthusiasm and pep, and his high standard of sportsmanship, despite the lack of an auspicious beginning. Returning to aid him will be this year ' s competent captain and quarter-back, Lewis Turner, and several freshmen lettermen. With these and additions from last year ' s successful high school team, we hope to see the Grizzlies toward the top of the heap. — Earl Buck.
