Easy Ed Brady, who coached the Okmul- gee Bulldogs to the State Championship last year, and Leon Cook, veteran line mentor, found themselves with only nine returning lettermen to mold together a team which will long be remembered.

For the Blue and White, it was Fullback LeRoy Tabor and End lennings Nelson who scored two and one touchdowns, respectively. Tabor's counters came on two and one yard bucks while Nelson scored his on a 35 yard pass from Tabor. During the half time intermis- sion Kay Lou Francisco was crowned 1948-49 Band Queen by Band President Gene Lucas. Attendants were loan Preston and Patti Thom escorted by Tommie Williams and Albert Woods.

Half- back Bob Beckham scored the final touch- down on a four yard double reverse. Iourneying to Shawnee the following week, the local eleven whipped the Wolves 27-7 with the Plainsmen second team playing a considerable amount of time during the second half. The most outstanding play of the game was an 84 yard kickoff return by Beckham. Dud Tenney, center, and Dean Reed, right guard, gave splendid perform- ances in the forward wall. Returning home, the Plainsmen met the highly touted Central Cardinals from Okla- homa City, tagged the No. 1 team in the state, while the Plainsmen were labeled No. 3. An estimated 7,500 fans received a heart- breaking shock when Central Quarterback Bob Bronebrake flipped a pass to End Charles Iohnson who went over standing up to tie the game, Coleman Buck McPhail kicked the winning point, and the Cardinals came out on top, 21-20. The Plainsmen were trail- ing at intermission 14-7 but came back to score twice in the second half on touchdown runs by Beckham and I-Ialfback Dick Zim- merman. All the Plainsmen should receive credit as they played great in going down in defeat. With the band and pep clubs journeying to Oklahoma City on October 14, the locals bounced back into the victory column by thumping the Capitol I-Iill Redskins 27-7. The Plainsmen were trailing at the half but came through to win. Iennings Nelson was named Lineman of the Week by the Okla- homa City Times for his play in the game.

Playing before a home-coming crowd of 3,000 shivering fans, the Plainsmen turned on the juice to down the Blackwell lVlaroons 25-0.
