E cjltas Tfo Pc CPL Caxhjmv, WUm 8, Los 1 The Ellinwood Eagles compiled an 8 - 1 record in route to one of the most exciting football seasons ever at EHS. The mighty Eagles led the CPL in offense and defense, scoring 285 points to their op- ponents 25. They scored the most points of any Ellinwood eleven since 1956 and they held their opponents to the fewest number of points since 1944. Head coach Jack Bowman was voted Area High School Coach of the Year and two Eagle players received state recognition. Niles Hauser was named to the all-state second team and Mike Scheufler received all-state honorable mention. At the beginning of the season perfect field conditions enabled Ellinwood to crush Sacred Heart 26 to 0. In seeking revenge for past losses Ellin- wood handed the St. John Tigers a 24 to 0 defeat. The Tigers were pre-season favorites to win the CPL. The following week produced the team's closest game of the season, and its only loss. Eli linwood failed to score and lost to the Sterling Black Bears 7 to 0. It was a game where every- thing seemed to go amiss. Regaining their strength and spirit the Eagles warmed up for an important encounter with unbeat- en Lindsborg by swamping Stafford 64 to 0 and posting a 32 to 0 Homecoming victory over Ells- worth. The Big Blue invaded the Vikings Home- coming and put a blemish on unbeaten Lindsborg with a 25 to 0 victory. The Eagles blanked Hoisington for the fourth straight year by flushing the Cards 34 to 0. Taking a break from league action the Eagles traveled to Lamed where Ellinwood bested the WCKL Indians 42 to 12. They ended the season by beating arch- rival Lyons 38 to 6 on a slippery Lions gridiron.

InStmMMtdJh U Put lw BuSy Yo tiij-f-lot L Futt John Banman's musicians worked unceasingly throughout the year to gain knowledge for themselves and produce mel- odious pleasure for EHS. After many early hours of marching practice, the band members successfully performed the home- game half-time show. In October, these energetic bandmen traveled to Wichita State University's Band Day to display their precision drills. Prior to the Lyons football game, the Ellinwood band paraded down the main street. The youthful musicians entertained the community with concerts, the first indoor one on December 20, presenting seasonal selections. The band closed out the year with another concert on May 18. Other highlights of the instrumental year included a band workshop atHays on March 11. Earlydawn hours at the school, moistened reeds, individual instruction from Mr. Banman, and practice sessions in odd places like the Little Theater pre- pared the band and small groups for the CPL Music Festival on April 1, when the band obtained a I rating on its selec- tions SINFONIANS and INCIDENTAL SUITE, and the State Music Festival on April 7-8. On the first day, band and cho- rus performed, with the chorus obtaining a I rating. The second day, the solos and small ensembles participated. The stage band, a hard-working group within the band, put in many extra hours in preparation for various events where it provided entertainment.

A tecW setttKg season It was a season of not only victories and championships, but one of new records. Mike Scheufler carried the ball 201 times for 1227 net yards gained, setting new records in both categories. The team, as a whole unit, set a record for car- rying the ball with a total of 479 times. The 33 punts was also a new season record and Craig Schneider's 40 yard punting average will be a mark others may shoot at in the future. Eighteen passes were intercepted, tying a record set in 1956 in this department. As might be expected, such an aggres- sive team amassed a new record in the penalty category with a total of 665 yards. Niles Hauser made 60 of the 401 rec- ord-setting total number of tackles. From a defensive stand- point, the team performed well, giving up 995 total yards for the season—a new defensive record. 1966 B FOOTBALL TEAM--TOP ROW: Tom Hunt, Danny Meyer, Cletus Straub, Jerry Shadley, David Robins, Harold Davis, Kelvin Schartz, Jon Wirtz, Steve Spacil, Thomas Petz, Bob Thomason, manager.
