The football season of 1950 was the most successful Juco has ever enjoyed. The college was represented on the gridiron by a streamlined T offense and a stone-walled defense. Given these ingredients, Coach Bob Douglass, ably assisted by Jim Edwards, rounded the boys into an outstanding ball club. The Grizzly team powered their way through their first seven opponents, scor- ing 256 points to 7 for the opposition. Then, for the first time in almost a decade, the Grizzlies outfought the Hutchinson Blue Dragons 14-6. In the last game of the regular season, the Bears lost a heartbreaking upset to the strong Bronc-Busters of Garden City, 32-7. Ranking near the top in the national Junior College ratings, the Grizzlies re- ceived feeler bids to play in the Juco Rose Bowl at Pasadena, California, the Juco Sugar Bowl at Monroe, Louisiana, the Texas Rose Bowl at Tyler, Texas, and several minor bowls. Finally accepting a bid to meet the powerful Red Ravens of Coffeyville annual Coffee Bowl classic, El Dorado emerged victorious by a score of 12-0. At season ' s end, Coach Douglass presented 27 men with letter awards. m 15
