I I 1 THE QUn.L MAGAZINE Tooflvall -BY David King The 1951 edition of the Enid Plainsmen was impressive for a squad mostly of Sopho- mores and Iuniors who had a record of five wins, four losses and one tie, one of the losses against a team that went to the finals in the state tournament. Two new coaches were added to the staff this year: Coach Ioe Gibson from Electra, Texas, a former assistant football coach at the University of Corpus Christi, and Coach loe Leach from Shreveport, Louisiana and a former letterman at Louisiana State. The Plainsmen started their season with four home-stands, the first against the always-tough Perry Maroons. Both clubs showed the traditional first game shakes. It was Enid who showed the first real initiative as Daymond Myers, Ierry Haskins, DeRoose Raymond and Aubrey Bristow broke through in the second quarter to bring the pigskin down to the Maroon two-yard line. In the only scoring play of the night Myers smashed over to shoot the Enid eleven ahead 6-0. The conversion attempt was blocked. A second half passing attack launched by the desperate Maroons nearly sank the Plains- men as Bill Pricer and loe McQuain brought the ball down to the Enid four-yard line as the final whistle blew. The final score stood Enid 6, Perry 0. The following Friday the Plainsmen enter- tained a strong aggregation from Putnam City. A jam packed crowd of 4,000 shivered in the cold to cheer the Plainsmen to their tightest victory of the season. The Pirates drew first blood midway in the first quarter on a 56-yard march to go ahead 6-0. Again the attackers scored with but one minute gone in the second quarter to lead 13-0 in what looked like the beginning of a complete f0l1t. But the blue and white came out of it to roar down the field with only three minutes left in the second quarter to tally on a handoff play covering 29 yards. Mo- ments later the Plainsmen showed it was no mistake as they tied it up in the first half I3-13 on a spot pass from Aubrey Bristow to Daymond Myers good for 28 yards and an even break at halftime. In the third period Enid continued their hot pace and went into the lead on a Bristow to Rip Radcliff aerial from 25 yards out. The third period score read 20-13, Enid. A last minute touchdown by the Pirates nearly upset the Plainsmen applecart as George Day, the alert Putnam City quarter- back, pushed his way over from the four- yard line with but seconds to go. The Enid line dug in and blocked the all-important conversion and salvaged a slim victory. The powerful Norman Tigers were next on the Plainsmen list, bringing a strong aggregation of record spoilers. The First Plainsman tally was set up on a Tiger fumble on their own 25-yard line. On the very next play Aubrey Bristow fired an aerial to Daymond Myers good for 24 yards to the Plainsmen one. DeRoose Raymond carried the mail for the needed yard and ar. Enid TD. The conversion was blocked and Enid held a first quarter lead of 6-0. The Tigers struck like lightning in the second period on a series of ground eating power plays featuring Fred Hazel and E. Hatfield to take a 13-6 halftime lead. Wasting no time the Tigers showed their intentions in the second half as Fred Hazel took the opening kickoff and returned it 65 yards to shoot Norman into a 20-6 lead. Enid countered moments later with Don Thomas recovering a Tiger fumble on their 12-yard line. Don Froese gathered in the pigskin on the next play to go over stand- ing up. Norman added the elincher in the fourth quarter on what was perhaps the slickest play of the game. DeRoose Raymond punted a short kick from his own 27. It was gathered in by E. Hatfield who handed it off to fcontinued on page IZQ Identifitation by CARo1.rN Rnvuorns A SQUAD ftop of pagej Top Row!Left to Right: Elam, Caldwell, Painter, Radcliff, P. Nave, Clark, V. Haskins, C.
