King and his new assistant, Dale Holt, were faced with the task of developing a good ball club in the 1943 season. All of the opposing teams were pointing for Enid High due to the fact that they were not only Mid-State Champ- ions but were also holders of the Mythical State Championship from the previous sea- son. The Plainsmen opened the season with a smashing victory over the Fairview Yellow- jackets with a score of 26 to 7. As antici- pated, Floyd Winheld, veteran back, sparked the play of the Plainsmen in this initial con- test. Also 'Leroy Holloway, 155 pound Sopho- more, rammed the Fairview line for gain after gain, registering Enid's third touchdown after setting it up by plunging for two successive downs. Clarence Paine and Stanley West, veterans from last year, were named Co-Cap- ICLIIIIS. ' The next week we lost a heart-breaking game to the Norman Tigers in our first Mid- State Conference game. Enid had the strong invaders tied at the half, 6 to 6, but the Tigers came back to score again in the third quarter, thus handing the Plainsmen their first loss since 1941. The old familiar cry of ow-o-o-o echoed and re-echoed at Plainsmen Field when the Plainsmen met the highly-trained Shawnee Wolves. Still suffering from the defeat the week before, they were determined to take Shawnee. This they did scoring a touchdown in the Hnal minutes of the fourth quarter to turn them back 14 to 7 after the visitors had knotted the score in the same period. Quarterbaeks Floyd Winheld and Leroy Hol- loway again shared honors for the Plainsmen. The Plainsmen then took to the road to play their first game of the season under strange lights with the Oklahoma City Cen- tral team. But the Plainsmen, displaying superb form at passing, running, and block- ing, broke a long jinx and defeated the Car- dinals on their home field 20 to 12. This was the first time that Enid had beaten the Cards on their own field during their 32 years of grid warfare. Enid's touchdown in the first quarter came on a beautiful left end sweep by WinHeld from the Oklahoma City 29-yard line. Ar the half the two teams were knotted, 6 to 6, but Coach T. Kingys pep talk to the Plainsmen during the rest period soon began bearing fruit. Enid made the second touchdown on five consecutive plays featured by a 41-yard pass from Winfield to Bogert. After a short punting duel the Cards tried a run from punt formation, but Bob Buxton, one of the scrappiest Guards in Plainsmen history, hit the Card right half so THE QUu.i. MAGAZINE By1oHN MCMAHAN hard the ball flipped away into the hands of Stanley West to recover for Enid. Winfield again unlimbei-ed his arm tossing two passes to West for a 23-yard gain. Win- field then took the ball around short left end for the Hnal two yards to pay dirt. Expecting the toughest competition they had met all season, the Plainsmen met Capi- tol Hill in a contest that drew a crowd of 4,000 to Plainsmen Field. But the squad was willing and ready to turn them back 13 to 0 for their third lvlid-Conference win. Floyd VVinfield passed the Plainsmen to vic- tory over the Redskins, firing a 15-yard toss to Halfback Don Bogert and a mighty heave to End Stanley West in the first quarter to set up the initial touchdown. Fullback Leroy Holloway scored the Hrst marker off right tackle with a plunge from the four-yard marker. Clarence Paine, Bob Buxton, and Stanley West spar-kled in defensive play. ln the following game Enid dropped a close decision to the Ponca City Wildcats, 7 to 0. Enid, hampered by not having Win- Held and their scrappy, hard-driving guard, Bob Buxton, could not break down the Wild- cats, Enid again journeyed to Oklahoma City to meet the Classen Comets. Although Clas- sen was reported to have a good team, the Plainsmen sensing their underdog role, scored an upset in the Mid-State Conference by nudging the Comets from second place in a hard-fought 6 to 0 victory. Enid's touch- down came early in the fourth quarter olf a spectacular 69-yard march started late in the third period. Tailback Floyd Winheld carried the pigskin to pay dirt with a smash from the two-yard line. Richard Bell, who had been doing a bang-up job at center all season, turned in a brilliant performance for the Enid defensive, time after time throwing a Classen back for a considerable yardage- loss. Also Clarence Paine, Bob Buxton, and Stanley West were outstanding in their de- fensive playing. After six consecutive hard battles in six weeks the Plainsmen turned their attention to their next foe, the Blackwell 1V1aroons. The entire Plainsmen squad of 30 members made the trip, and nearly all of them were used as they ran rough-shod over the Ma- roons 44 to 6. End W. Beckham, Plains- man kicking expert, set some sort of record when he lifted five consecutive conversions straight between the crossbars. lim Thomas kicked a 21 yard field goal at a difficult angle. Enid was next host to the Guthrie Blue- jays. Taking the ball across the goal line for their Hrst counter in five minutes of play, the Plainsmen started an attack against the fConzim4ed on page 6U
