f X I EARL PRESLEY HARVEY GRIFFIN CHARLES SULLIVAN HUBERT BAY F. F. FRENCH DOYLE KING JIM SWOAP BILLY TOM WARD DON HENDRICKS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1954 SEASON MUSKOGEE I4 - DUNCAN O Two busloads of Pep Club girls accom- panied the Demons to their first game. The completely untried Duncan backfield didn't seem to have that spark which experience later gave them. Joe Crutchfield broke his finger and Bill Richey hurt his knee early in the first half. DUNCAN I3 - BORGER 0 Looking like a million dollars, the Demons hit the victory trail on the sandy soil of Texas. The Demon line showed the Texans that Oklahoma grows 'em iust a little rough- er and tougher. Monte Thrailkill made the sparkling run of the night, and Bill Richey began to show the polish of a great quar- terback. DUNCAN 20 - SEMINOLE 6 Seminole, which later became the Class A champion of Oklahoma, found the going a little too rough as the Demon line made short work of a fellow called Joseph.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 1954 SEASON ARDMORE 27 - DUNCAN 6 After two consecutive wins, the Demons met Ardmore. The Duncan backfield fumbled too many times, and the line was outcharged badly. The passing of Royce McQueen and the running of Glen Selvidge proved to be too much for the Demons that night. ALTUS 19 - DUNCAN 12 This game will be long remembered for the brilliant goal line drive the Demons made. Even though the films later proved that the ball crossed the goal-line on four occa- sions, the referee failed to recognize the touchdowns and the Demon victory. DUNCAN 27 - EL RENO O For the third consecutive year, the Demons mauled a very good El Reno eleven. Monte Thrailkill had one of his best nights.
