An early call for candidates brought forth 55 football aspirants, and 45 were 5 9 4 kept in suits for first and second terms. In four weeks Coaches Thomas and Folck shaped a team that did not compete for Ark Valley honors but played a schedule which included three of the Valley schools. In the initial game of the season, played Sept. 29, the Blue and White suffered a 39 to 0 beating at the hands of the powerful Wichita North Redskins who later won the Ark Valley title. Against Wellington's perennial champions the Vikings showed vast improvement by holding the Crusaders to an 18 to 6 score. In the final period the Vikings scored their first touchdown in nine years on a pass play from Sidener to B. Thornton. In their only road game of the season the Vikings journeyed to Wichita to engage Wichita East. Playing on a muddy field the Vikings were blanked 18 to 0 by the Aces. Returning to their home field the Vikings pulled an upset by knocking over the much favor- ed Spartans of Emporia. Touchdowns by Sidener and McAlister gave the Vikings a 13 to 6 decis- ion over Emporia. In their final game of the season the Vikings ran wild over Harper high, fast champions of S K. L. in 1939-40. From the start the Vikings enjoyed a field day as they bested the Bearcats 40 to 6 . -.2 r 4 ij- ' ' ' x ,fs z! -an .5 . 4 f. .vi . . ,:, 1 'Fx 'ffl'-I' QA ' 1 Eilfzv-.ef'

For their first year the Vikings can be proud of their record and with the continued spirit and assistance of these two coaches, Winfield high can look forward toward greater accomplishments on the gridiron.
