12 Although 1950 was not the most glorious year in the history of the Enid Plainsmen eleven, the boys won some impressive victo- ries and never stopped fighting even though the odds against them were heavy. The Plainsmen wound up the season with a mediocre record of four wins and six losses, but four of those losses were by a margin of one touchdown or less. When O, T. fScuttersj Autry, last year's line coach, marched off with the fighting 45th, Ed Brady put into practice the old saying, Two heads are better than one, when he enlisted the services of jim Stroup, former coach at Manitou, Oklahoma, and Paul Geymann, former Topeka, Kansas, mentor. The opening game witnessed the Elk City Elks, a highly touted class B outfit, go down to defeat, as the Plainsmen's aerial attack gave a 26-13 lead. This game was bitterly contested, but the Enid fans went home confident that this would be another great addition to Enid's football fame. The Enid backfield composed of Chuck Athey, Lowell Harman, Earl Baugher, and Evert Burdick, turned in a great performance. They were greatly aided by the brilliant line play of Don Thomas, Karl Geis, Max Crandall, Steve Champlin, Rodney Holcomb, and jim Finnegan. The following week the Plainsmen dumped the Putnam City Pirates 44-0 before some 4,500 screaming Enidites at Plainsmen field. A see-saw first period quarter, which pro- vided no scoring, was the only close canto of the game. With the first play of the second period, Bob Miller intercepted a Put- nam pass and went 55 yards for the first Enid marker. Earl Baugher, who was out of the line-up on the first game of the season with a broken wrist, tallied with a 30-yard sprint around left end. Burdick scored the third T.D. just as the gun sounded for the half. The second half showed the aerial at- tack of the mighty Warriors, as the rest of the scoring was a result of Baugher, Cobb, and Bogert's mighty tosses. Next, the Warriors journeyed to Norman to open the 1950 Mid-State Conference Tournament. The Bradymen got off to a quick start with Earl Baugher gathering in the opening kickoff and returning it 90 yards for the first T.D. The play of both teams was somewhat ragged, with a total of 13 fumbles and 16 penalties. Enid's second marker came when Baugher tossed a twenty- five yard aerial to Bob Miller. With the minutes ticking out in the first half, Baugher once again tossed a T.D. pass to jim Finne- gan. After moving the ball down to the one- fooffv By IERRY HERZBERG yard, Athey carried it over with the final touchdown bringing the score to 25-13. Enid fans' hopes for a Mid-State confer- ence title were scattered the following week, when the Shawnee Wolves downed the Plainsmen 14-12 at Shawnee. Being rated the Game of the Weeku by the Daily Okla- homan and witnessed by T. King, former head coach at E.H.S., the local eleven showed a terrific second half, but could not seem to match that of the Wolves. Both Shawnee's two touchdowns were results of punt returns in the first half of play. Enid tallied with two in the second half as a result of a pass from Cobb to Burdick and a plunge by Burdick. Athey's kicking foot was cold on both occasions, which marked the downfall of the Plainsmen. Playing without the services of Earl Baugher, who was injured the first play of the Shawnee game, the Plainsmen met Oklahoma City Central on our home grounds. At the half the Plainsmen went to the dressing room with a 6-0 score against them. The third period the eleven showed the power they were capable of producing, as the Plainsmen took it to the three where Lowell Harman plowed over. Athey ran around left end for the extra point. Four plays later the local eleven got their hands on the ball, and once again they took it across, the try for the extra point failed leaving the score at 6-13. The Cardinals came back to tie up the score with a 57-yard run, and later in the fourth quarter scored their game winning T.D. as they left the field with a 19-13 margin. The following week the Plainsmen jour- neyed to Oklahoma City with a record of 1 win and 2 defeats in the Mid Conference play. The eleven took their worst defeat of the season as they completely over- whelmed the Plainsmen 55-0. Although they held the Hilltoppers' scoreless the first six minutes of the game and the whole third period, the Plainsmen couldn't hold the Hillers' potent aerial attack. Having a record of three wins and three defeats the Enid gridders played host to the Ponca City Wildcats. The Plainsmen had trouble getting started the first half as they went to the showers with a 6-0 score in favor of the Wildcats. During halftime the annual crowning of the Queen took place. Carla Wilcox was elected as queen with Marian Adams and Darle Sullivan as at- tendants. Lowell Harman did the enjoyable crowning. The second half saw the Plains- men come up with their first touchdown to go in the lead by a 7-6 score, a result of a skirt around left end by Chuck Athey for the extra point. With three minutes left to go in the game and a good outlook for THE QUILL BKIAGAZINE victory for the Plainsmen, the Wildcats drove deep into Enid territory and marched over to go out in front 12-6. Playing host to the Classen Comets the Plainsmen continued to hang on to their losing streak as the Comets dumped the Plainsmen 40-14. The Comets' big gun was Bobby Donley, a 200-pound fullback, who scored five of Classen's six markers. Sit fumbles by the boys in blue and white of which the Comets recovered five, aided their cause. Chuck Athey was leading scorer as he picked up both of Enid's touchdowns. During halftime ceremonies a United Na- tions fiag was presented to Principal D. Bruce Selby by Wesley McClanahan, chair- man for United Nations Week. The unlucky Enidmen lost a heartbreaker to Northeast Vikings at Oklahoma City, November 3. A former Plainsmen, Sam Clark, intercepted an Enid flat pass and raced across for the deciding T.D. in the final seconds of play. The local eleven had been leading on penetrations, but Clark's interception made the final score 20-13 in favor of the Vikings, The Plainsmen climaxed their uneven sea- son in a blaze of glory by drubbing a tough Perry Maroon team 34-6 at Perry. After a closely contested first period, the Brady boys rolled up touchdown after touchdown and unveiled a T formation play that might fore- shadow a big change of pace for next year's squad. Making the touchdowns were Athey, Baugher, and Burdick. Extra points were kicked by Athey and Haskins. january 27 marked an immortal date for 27 boys who actively participated in the 1950-Sl football season, as these boys were awarded letters and jackets. They were Dwayne Abram, Roy Arnold, Chuck Athey, Earl Baugher, Dick Bogert, Evert Burdick, Steve Champlin, Bill Cobb, Max Crandall, jim Finnegan, Karl Gcis, Lowell Harman, jerry Haskins, Rodney Holcomb, W. D. jones, john Lamerton, Charles McClure, Glen Painter, Ripper Radcliff, Ray Ruzek, Don Sloan, Don Thomas, Keith Lynn, Charles Purnell, jim Stafford, Robert Franz. Managers who did a fine job were: Dean Gibbon, Tom Venable, Gene Cummings, Dennis Ukena, David Hermanski, and Duane Moulton. When the last of the dust had cleared The Daily Oklahoman announced candidates for All State. Lowell fHorsej Harman was selected for the North Team to play fullback while Steve Champlin was selected for All Con- ference Play. After three years as head of the Athletic fContinued on Page 84j
