i Q Coach Diggs poses with one ot his former players, Ben Hart who now plays professional tootball. Ben is an incentive to the young players. v Air ottock worked effectively In conquering four opponents Football power was supposed to return to Douglass in l967, but somehow the tame got derailed and the Troian tans had to settle tor a 4-6 record. ln the tirst two weelcs ot tootball warring the Troians were able to draw a split betore playing on their home turt. The Douglass gladiators were 22-O victors over Duniee betore they tell to the Mid State Champions, the Bombers ot Midwest City, 28-6. Thoroughly peeved, the Troians returned home the tollowing weelc to pounce on John Marshall in a game delayed more than two hours by power tailure. The Troian power did not tail and they prevailed, 45-26. Enid, three consecutive Class AAA championship holder, rolled into Troian Country and barely escaped with a 26-24 victory over the Troians. Foreign travel was again the word and the Troians pulled their con- terence record even tor the second time by blasting U. S. Grant 38-6 to spoil the Generals homecoming. Lady Luclc trowned and the Troians dropped their next three grid con- tests. The trip to Shawnee was truitless and again the boys absorbed a crushing deteat. The Wolves ripped the Troians 3l-I2 to celebrate their homecoming. Unlcnown to tans was the sguealcer that was in store tor them when the Troians went against the Putnam City Pirates who won the contest 28-2l in the tinal minutes ot the contest. Albert Chandler closes his eyes on a pass that could have been a long gain. But with your eyes closed, you can't catch very rnuch. A solid block in the middle ot the back doesn't help the situation much either. Did the ret.? Huh! I2I
