Five thousand two hundred fans watched the Plainsmen in their opener September 9, and saw them unveil a fine ground attack as Guthrie fell 38-0. The big three' of the Enid backfield, Meyers, Shipley, and Zim- merman, found the Guthrie end zone to their liking and together scored all the Plainsmen's counters, MCVCl'S ripped off a 73-yard run, the longest of the night. Piling up 298 yards rushing, the Plainsmen rolled past Putnam City 45-0. The Enid line, spearheaded by Larry Welch, charged ve- hemently and were abetted by the hard- running'Plainsmen backs. Zimmerman scored four touchdowns, one a beautiful 53-yard return of an intercepted pass. At halftime, Doris Akridge, popular Senior. was crowned l949 Band Queen by Bob Schwartz, Band President. The following week, the Plainsmen met their first Mid-State Conference opponent, the Norman Tigers, on Plainsmen Field. ln a hard-fought battle, the Warriors of West Wabash emerged victorious I9-7. Shiplev came off the sick-bed to score all of Enid's points. With Fred Meyers on the throwing end, the Plainsmen showed an enthusiastic crowd a splendid passing attack. Vx7ith their ace fullback, Fred Meyers, sit- ting out with an injured leg muscle, the Plainsmen, sparked by jerry Shipley's 69-yard punt return, defeated their second conference rival, the Shawnee Wolves, 27-0. Shipley's l'l1I1, the most scintillating of the season, gave the Plainsmen a narrow 7-0 halftime margin, but they caught Fire, and with Zimmerman and Keith raiding the Wolves' goal line, they climbed to the top of the Mid-State ladder. Racking up their fifth victory in a row and their third straight conference win, the Plains- men clipped the wings of their arch rivals, the Central Cardinals, 26-0 at Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City. On the third Enid play of the game, Shipley Cllt off left tackle and behind beautiful blocking raced 60 yards for a T.D. Lowell Harman, filling in for the in- jured Meyers. plowed across for the next Plainsmen tally. Zimmerman and Shipley each added another six-pointer as the Plains- men strengthened their top Mid-State rank- ing. The largest crowd ever to witness an athletic contest in Enid, 8,500 screaming fans, jammed Plainsmen Field to watch the two top football powers of the state, the Plainsmen and the Capitol Hill Redskins, clash in the game of the week. A crushing ground attack displayed by the Redskin backs was too much for the Plainsmen, and they fell 25-12, perhaps to the finest ball club ever to appear on the Enid gridiron. A fight- ing Plainsmen line held the powerful Red- skins to a 7-6 halftime margin, but with Koch, Miller, and Van Pool carrying the n1ail, the Hill boys wore down the Plainsmen in the last half. Shipley and MCyCl'S counted Enid's rallies on a plunge and a pass rc- spectively. Again playing in the game of the week, an underdog Plainsmen eleven knocked off a previously undefeated Ponca City team 13-6 in Ponca City, The Wildcats took the opening kickoff and drove 73 yards for a touchdown and a 6-0 lead which thev held at halftime. Fired up by a halftime lecture by Coach Brady, the Plainsmen immediately got back in the ball game. Fred Meyers, behind brutal blocking, rambled 77 yards for a T.D. Not a Wildcat man was left stand- ing by the Plainsmen line. An intercepted pass by Shipley set up the final Plainsmen counter as Keith scored on a quarterback sneak. As a result of his fine line play, Sam Cerny, hard-working Enid guard, was named lineman of the Week by the Daily Okla- homan. Congratulations Mr. Cernyl Facing an up and coming Classen team the following week, the Plainsmen, with their starting backs crippled early in the contest, WCl1t down to their second defeat of the season 21-13 at Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City. Brutal line play by the Comets held the Plainsmen at bay, and the Classen team turned a blocked punt into a 7-0 lead which they maintained at the finish. The Warriors of West Wabash fought back time and again, but in the end the rugged Classen line was the difference. The Plainsmen could not have given their pretty football queen and the former letter- men of Enid High a more enjoyable night as they displayed their most potent offense of the season, running roughshod over the Northeast Vikings 47-0 in their final Mid- State game of the year. Meyers, Zimmerman, Shipley, and Burdick all found the Northeast end zone with a Meyei's-Shipley spectacular 40-yard running pass the most exciting play of the game. Miss Sally Evans, attended by Ann Allen and Thelma Danahy, was crowned Football Queen of 1949 by C0- Captain Shipley during halftime ceremonies. The Plainsmen traveled to the short-grass country for their next game, a tilt with Altus, and gained revenge for the defeat last year by blasting the Bulldogs 36-0. Driving 90 yards with the opening kickoff and taking advantage of Altus fumbles, the Plainsmen held a 21-0 halftime margin and QContinued on Page loj

Three touchdowns by Shipley, one each by Meyers and newcomer Earl Baugher, plus a safety accounted for the Plainsmen rallies. Closing the '49 season with their arch rivals, Hump Daniel's traditionally tough Perry Maroons, the Plainsmen met their third defeat 25-21. lr was a thriller all the way with both teams scoring freely. Geroni- mo Terronez, Perryys outstanding quarter- back, showed the Enid fans brilliant passing, while Meyers and Shipley carried the bulk ef Enid's load. Meyers gave the crowd a thrill with a 53-yard touchdown jaunt off tackle. The Plainsmen were knocking at the Perry goal as the Hnal gun sounded.
