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.

FOSSETT 3 THE QUILL MAGAZINE Tooflvall fconzi nued from page 10 j Fred Hazel fading toward the sidelines. Hazel gathered it in and streaked for the tally untouched. The Plainsmen packed in their second largest crowd of the season with an overfiow crowd of 5,000 attending. The game was highlighted at the halftime with the crowning of the 1951-52 Band Queen, Kae Major. Leonard Atkinson did the honors. For the fourth straight week Enid had a home game entertaining the Shawnee Wolves. Enid could do nothing wrong as they soundly trounced the visiting Wolves 28 to l2. On the first play from scrimmage Halfback Daymond Myers skirted his left end for 65 yards to the Shawnee one. Shaw- nee's stalwart line held, and they kicked out to their own 30. Enid again took over, and Myers carried over from the 10 in four plays. Eroese converted and the locals were ahead to stay. A few minutes later DeRoose Ray- mond added another tally for the Plainsmen cause on a 25-yard keeper. In the waning moments of the initial quarter the Wolves retaliated with Bill Lowry faking a pitchout on his own 26 and romping 74 yards to go over unmolested. Shawnee continued their scoring ways in the opening seconds of the second quarter scoring a TD on three plays to make the score at halftime I3 to 12, Plainsmen. That was all she wrote for the visiting Wolves as Enid caught fire in the second half. Enid took the kickoff on their own 12 and were on the Shawnee I7 in eight plays. Don Sloan carried the mail, and the local eleven held a 20-12 lead. Later in the same quarter the Plainsmen had the Wolves cor- nered deep in their own territory. A bad renter went past the receiver, and the ball bounced out of the Wolves' end zone. Enid clinched the conference game in the fourth stanza when alert Lineman Charles Purnell intercepted a Shawnee pass and rcmped the remaining 20 yards for the final score. The following Friday night the blue and white trekked to Oklahoma City to meet the powerful Central Cardinals. The Plainsmen with mostly Sophomore representatives plowed the Cardinals under with a devastat- ing passing attack to annex their second conference victory 13 to 0. After a scoreless initial stanza the Enid eleven began to click. Iohn Bell took a Bristow pass on the Central 27 and plowed his way to the four. Three plays later Don Sloan gathered in another Bristow toss to garner six points for the Plainsmen. The conversion attempt was no good. The Plainsmen added the clincher early in the third period. DeRoose Raymond gath- ered in a pitch from Aubrey Bristow on the Enid 23 and broke loose for 73 yards and an Enid tally. Haskins converted. The next week the Redskins from Capitol Hill invaded the local camp in a game that saw two entirely different offensives. Capitol Hill drew the first blood in the last Eve minutes of the first quarter scoring two touchdowns. The Redskins led at the first quarter mark l3-0. In the second quarter with the Plainsmen trailing 20 to 0 following a Huke TD by the Redskins' Bobby Dart, Rip Radcliff took a Bristow pass on the Enid 47, shook off two would-be tacklers and galloped 53 yards for the touchdown. Capitol Hill retaliated a few moments later to make the halftime score read 26 to 6, Redskins. From there on it was all Oklahoma City as the Mid-State cham- pions added on more score in the third quarter to wrap up the contest. Enid's TD in the fourth period was not enough to catch the Redskins. The final, Capitol Hill 33, Enid 13. The same fate befell the Plainsmen at Ponca City the next week as the Wildcats led by All-State Krider triumphed 32 to 6 in a game played in drizzling rain. The Plainsmen took the initiative early in the first quarter as a Bristow to Raymond pass was good for Z2 yards and a touchdown. Ponca rebounded with a 73-yard drive cli- maxed by Tom Selbey to make the score even at the first quarter mark 6-6. That was it as far as Enid was concerned. The Cats began in earnest at the second quarter whistle as big Iim Krider went wild scoring three touchdowns, one of them on a 60-yard sprint. The score at halftime read 26 to 6, Ponca. Ponca added another score in the third stanza to ice it and the Plainsmen were on the short end two weeks in a row. With a record of 4 wins and 3 losses under their belts the .Plainsmen journeyed to Taft stadium to do battle with the Classen Comets in a game won by ice and snow. The two teams banged to a 13-13 tie. In the second quarter Rip Radcliff gath- ered in a Bristow pass on the Enid 40-yard line and raced 60 yards down the middle to go over the double stripe unmolested to put the Plainsmen out in front 6-0. Classen opened up the second half with a devastating passing attack to score on nine plays with Tom Murphy scoring on a pass from Iim Miskowsky. In the Hnale Classen forged ahead on the fourth play on a keeper by George Miskow- sky. With time running out and things looking black in the blue and white camp, Daymond Myers took a handoff from Au- brey Bristow, skirted his right end and scored behind the beautiful blocking of Don Eroese. Haskins converted to knot the count. The homecoming game highlighted the next week's activities. The Plainsmen enter- tained the Northeast Vikings on the home field on the last game at home.
