Growing more and more impatient for Perry, the Plainsmen gave a preview of things to come in the game with the Chi- locco Indians and after giving a weak start in the first half allowing themselves to be held to a mere 7 points, came back in the second half to carve 34 more points from Chilocco's scalp and Put on a grand show for the spectators. The fans saw the entire Enid backfield, Winfield, Leierer, Keeton, johndrow and Kelly go wild. Clarence Paine gave an excellent account of himself by re- covering fumbles and blaring in to upset the Chilocco runners. After the smoke of battle cleared away, the score read Enid 41, Chi- locco OU. At last with intense preparation the game with Perry had been reached, The game was played in a stiff wind which held play on both sides from being of the open type. Perry was charging hard and low and got the first break of the game when they block- ed Keeton's kick and scored, getting a tem- porary lead but angered by the breaks the Plainsmen came back to feature Kelly in an off-tackle smash which deadlocked the game seven all. But Kelly scored again to put the game on ice and maintained Enid's Hrst place status in State circles. A new comer, jim Thomas, kicked both extra points. FLASH!!! Enid takes Mid-State Cham- pionship as Central Downs Shawnee. Enid High nearly took a holiday when this news came, and Coaches T. King and Leonard McCoy went around with huge smiles on their countenances. Since Enid had defeated Central and tied Shawnee for first place, Cen- tral's upset of the Shawnee eleven gave the trophy to us on a golden platter. But even so, all waited with but one word on their lips: Tulsa . Both teams being undefeated seemed to draw people like flies to sugar on that memor- able Thanksgiving Day classic, which prom- ised to be and really was, an epic. The day was a perfect one for football, and at 2:30 the teams took the field. The Thanksgiving game has always been the Seniors, crowning glory, and this was no exception. Enid start- ed off quickly with a battering offense fea- turing Winfield and the rest of Enid's back- field and soon bit pay dirt with Winheld carrying. jim Thomas made his only con- version of the afternoon. Tulsa came back hard with passes and quick, deceptive plays. Perry Moss, sensational halfback of Central, scared the Plainsmen time and again with his accurate passes, but Enid made They Shall Not Pass their watchword and dug in and started their own steam roller again, this time with tackle Leon Simmons inter- cepting a fluke pass by Moss and racing 30 yards for the score. The next half, Enid came back with fury and attacked Tulsa savagely, but the Braves were stubborn, and Enid was not able to get a foothold until again when Winfield started things by a punt return, and a long lateral pass play from Keeton to West to Iohndrow took the ball down farther. Then with quick smashes the Hnal talley was made by Winheld off tackle. The game ended, Enid triumphing 19-0 and also winning the THE QUIL1. MAGAZINE Mythical State Championship. Thus the season was officially ended, and everything was over but the shouting and a few more honors which had to be bestowed. The Enid Quarterback Club gave a cham- pionship dinner in the Youngblood Ballroom in honor of the Plainsmen and made the trophy awards and read the individual honors. Leierer, most valuable, trophy, Simmons, most valuable, Blanket, Gildea, outstanding lineman, Keeton, outstanding back, Kelly, best running back, Leierer, best blocking back, Gildea, best blocking lineman, Sim- mons, best defensive lineman, Sleeper, best tackler, Keeton, best passer, Keeton, best kicker, Luther, best team man, Pritchard, best pass receiver, These were honors bestow- ed upon outstanding players by their team- mates at the end of the year in the annual squad elections. These honors were disclosed at the huge banquet held in honor of the team at the end of the season. Sideligbts on Seniors: Remember the Clas- sen game-Harold Burdick's passing was really accurate and filled up admirably after Keeton was hurt-Sleeper didnit do badly either in the Chilocco game, Calvin drove clear down the field and didn't stop until he had scored a touchdown-johndrow, Hll- ing in as signal caller in Keeton's place in the Ponca game, quarterbacked the team to victory-Pritchard stretched his frame in the Chilocco game to snag three touchdown passes-Gildea played an outstanding game in . . . can't mention any special one. Bert played 'em all good.-Back Earl Luther kept the spirit high in every game, lots of pepper -Cummings went in, although injured, in the Shawnee game to help with a magnih- cent goal-line stand-Simmons at Shawnee rushed in and threw them for a four yard loss on the first play-Day, fighting guard, played his heart out in the Tulsa game, play- ing without replacement the whole time- Yes, we really had some outstanding Seniors in ,43. Enid High had a new addition to her faculty this year in Mr. Dale Holt. Dale was here in the capacity of Bee Team Coach, and he really had a tough job ahead, but coming through at the end of the season with a fine record for his first year. The 'iBees,' are vitally important to the football system and to the HA team especially be- cause of the preparation and experience that it gives the boys perhaps just playing their first game of football or developing new material for the Plainsmen squad. The Bees and Mr. Holt deserve a hand of con- gratulation for work well done. Later news came through that three Enid boys had been selected for All-State honors. Those being: Millard Cummings, tackle, james Leierer, blocking back, and Leon Sim- mons, tackle, All of these boys were three year lettermen. So there you have the story of the '42-'43 season complete with Mid-State Championship, State Championship, and an undefeated season. Credit goes to Enid's two great, inspiring coaches, Mr. T. King and Mr. Leonard McCoy and the squad of hard Hghting never-say-die boys. Truly this season will go down as one of the most suc- cessful in the history of Enid High School.
