The Big Blue was co-champion in the Micl-State' conference, was rated the top prep eleven in the state for four consecutive weeks, and played the top schoolboy game in the state live times. Witli I7 returning lettermen Gibson and his able line mentor started practice in late August with over 60 volunteers reporting for David Selby the opening session. There were but two short weeks to prepare for the tough schedule, starting with the Perry lVlaroons and ending eleven weeks later with the El Reno Indians. IENID 26, PERRY 6-A crowd of 5,500 first-nighters at Plainsmen Field saw the Big Blue unleash a powerful attack while bottling up the heralded Billy Pricer and the Perry lVlaroons. Enid broke the game open just three minutes after the kickoff when Norman Lamb passed to Iohn Bell for 20 yards and the seasons first touchdown, Three minutes later, fullback Ierry Haskins scooted I0 yards around end for another score and then converted to give the locals a l3-0 halftime lead. Perry failed to muster a threat in the first half but got an offensive drive going in the third period, and Pricer powered over from the one-foot line for the lone Nlaroon tally. The Big Blue struck again like a bolt of lightning with Lamb plunging over from two yards out following the next kickoff.

Thirty-four players participated in the rout as Ioe Gibson swept the bench clean, and eight of them entered the scoring column. Don Froese led the attack for the Big Blue, scoring three touchdowns and piling up 94 yards in eight carries.

NORMAN 34, ENID 33-Billed as the top schoolboy game in the state the Plainsmen trekked to Norman for their first Mid-State conference tilt, only to be denied by a one-point loss.

Also the Plainsmen were hampered by injuries. Tackle Bob Brown broke his leg in practice during the week and was lost for the season, Wo1'tl1 Clark, Victor Hayes and Daymond Mye1's had been lost the week before. The Tigers scored the first time they got their hands on the ball as halfback Carl Dodd plunged over from three yards out. lim Badry kicked the first of four extra points from placement. The Plainsmen roared right back after receiving the kickoff as fullback Ierry Haskins romped the final 28 yards on an end sweep. Norman Lamb rounded end for the extra point.
