THE TEAM Robert Harrison, (Captain, and right tackle, played his fourth year on the team at that posi- tion. “Fat” always stood for “They shall not pass.” He is a Senior this year. Charles Hall, played his second year at left tackle. “Chuck” is a sure tackle and can open a hole large enough for a covered wagon. He is a Junior. Alva McDonald, “Bro,” was playing his first year on the team, at center. His accurate pass- ing and aggressive work on the defense made him a valuable man to the team. “Bro” is a Fresh- man and will be back for more next year.

Harvey Harrison was playing his first year on the team, at left guard. “Slits” could be de- pended on to hold his part of the line. He is a Sophomore and ready for a come-back next year. Lawrence Cooper was tin find of the season. Cooper played right end. He was fast, a sure tackle and a reliable receiver. He is another Freshman. George Edgar was another second year man, making a reliable ground gainer at left half. “Doug” is a junior this year, and should prove a very valuable man next year. Fred Hutson, was also a second year man. “Fritz,” otherwise known as “Tarzan,” was a reliable ground gainer at right half. He was chosen as half-back on the second all-state team. He is a Senior.

SENIOR BOOMER 25 FOOTBALL SUMMARY A good getaway, a discouraging two-game loss, a tie, a cheering come-back, and a bad ending. That is the story of El Reno High School’s 11)21 football season. The year was a successful one, with triumphs over balancing the losses. It brought forth a glittering group of individual players. After defeating Kingfisher 12-0 in the initial game of the season and trouncing Yukon 60-0, Edmond 25-6, and Fairview 48-0, El Reno angled with Oklahoma City Hi. El Reno opened and a real attack connected with a series of line plunges which resulted in the first touchdown. But the weight of the opponents proved too much for the light El Reno team, and as our players were forc- ed from the game by injuries and substitutes took their places, the City l egan to score. The game ended with the score, El Reno, 7, Oklahoma Citv, 21. The following week, the badly crippled team met Duncan and lost the game 14-0, the first time they had been held scoreless. “Have Randle’s men lost their punch?” was the question everywhere. The next game, El Reno tied Guthrie, 0-0. Guthrie earlier had held Oklahoma City, 3-0. Then came the cheering come-back—a 18-0 triumph over McAlester. The passing machine got into action and the back field showed it had developed a punch. Next, the dope was upset again when they lost to Shawnee, 27-14, at Shawnee. The last game of the season was played with Enid, at Enid, on Thanksgiving day. Fumbles were costly to El Reno, in this game. Enid scor- ed 21 points in the first quarter on fumbles made by El Reno. After that, El Reno tightened down and held Enid from scoring a 53-0 defeat as they had predicted. The game ended with Enid 35, El Reno, 14. Next year will show a wealth of material, ac- cording to indications. Only four men will Ik lost by graduation, and the line promises to be one of the strongest in the state. El R« no 12. El Rono 60.
