Hathoot, Bob Phillips, Lynn, Bob Brown, Victor Hayes and Glen Painter snuffed out every Pirate threat. However, it wasn't all roses. Clark and Hayes were both injured. Clark suffered a mild concussion and Hayes received a broken nose. Too, safety man Daymond Myers was hospitalized with polio during the week. 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. No one can say the Big Blue ever gave up. Although never being ahead in the game, the Plainsmen had the count knotted four times at 7-7, 14-14, 20-20 and 27-27 as the spirited crew outbattled the Tigers in the line every inch of the way. 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 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.

Hackberry Phone 3730 EHMM B Both teams scored again before intermission as halfbaek Iohnny Barnard intercepted one of Lamb's passes and raced 50 yards to paydirt. Badry made it 14-7. Like lightning, the Big Blue tallied as Bill McDaniel sprinted 66 yards downHeld, and the extra point was made on a Lamb-to-John Bell aerial. Norman opened the third period with its third touchdown on a triple-lateral with fullback Tommy Webb going the final distance. Not to be outdone, the locals came back on a 57-yard dash to the promised land by Rooky Dykes. As the third period came to a close, the score was tied at 20-20. Both clubs scored twice in the final stanza. Allan Morian dashed 76 yards for the Tiger's fourth touchdown and passed to end Hayden Henry for their fifth counter. The Plainsmen's scoring came on a 54-yard run by Haskins and a blocked punt by Keith Lynn. However, Haskins was only able to convert once. ENID 19, SHAWNEE 13-The Plains- men, outplayed in every department of the game, managed to sneak by the Shawnee Wolves when Wade Arnold raced 100 yards with an intercepted pass in the last three minutes of play. After Tim Holden broke his wrist in the first practice session of the week, Coach loc Gibson called off workouts, and this may have accounted for the sluggish Enid offen- sive which couldnit accumulate a first down in the first half. The game was labeled the number two high school game of the week. Shawnee went into the lead 6-0 the first time it got the ball, driving 52 yards with the payoff coming on a 12-yard pass from Willie Lowery to Floyd Greenfield. Although the Big Blue never threatened during the Hrst half, it once held Shawnee on the two-yard line. Each team scored during the third frame with Enid knotting the count on a 17-yard pass from Norman Lamb to Iohn Bell. In just five plays, however, Shawnee regained the lead on another aerial from Lowery to Greenfield. Tommy Hall converted and made it I3-6. A short punt gave the Big Blue a chance to tie up the game early in the fourth period. It was an 18-yard pass from Lamb to Ierry Dorn which did the trick. The Plainsmen missed the try for extra point and trailed, 13-12. Again Shawnee started rolling only to be turned back on the Enid four-yard line. A punt by Rocky Hughes was run back to the Enid 15-yard line by Greenfield, and once more the Wolves were knocking on the door. Lowery threw two incomplete passes before he flipped the fatal toss that found Arnold waiting on the goaline with open arms. Arnold found excellent blocking and raced 100 yards for the score. Bell converted. ENID 12, CENTRAL 0-Playing at home for the first time in two weeks the Plainsmen knocked the Central Cardinals from the top rung in the Mid-State con- ference race, in the oldest rivalry of the state, before a crowd of 4,400 frenzied fans. Aubrey Bristow and Don Eroese came off the bench in the last half to lead the locals THE QUu.L MAGAZINE to their second conference victory in three starts. While there was no scoring in the Hrst half, the Big Blue had an edge in their sharp blocking and tackling, as the Cardi- nals thwarted every drive that the Plainsmen could muster. It was dog-eat-dog until late in the third period when the locals took the lead on Worth Clark's recovery of a fumble by Rooky Dykes in the end zone. The final tally came in the fourth quarter on a pass from Bristow to Iohn Bell, which covered 18 yards and was defiected into the hands of the big Enid end by defensive halfback Darrell Burris. ENID 12, CAPITOL HILL 2-The Plainsmen broke out a rock-bound defense to cut the big and rugged Redskins of Capitol Hill down to size in a bruising battle at the Hillers' stomping grounds. lt was the Hrst time since 1947 that the Redskins had been beaten at home. For the second time, the Big Blue were playing the top schoolboy game of the week. Bob Phillips, Glen Painter, Herb Bailey, Iohn Bell, Keith Lynn and Rocky Hughes were the ring-leaders of the rugged Enid defensive. The scoring was rather unspectacular. The Enid touchdowns, scored in the second and fourth quarters, came on a 10-yard thrust by fullback Ierry Haskins and a 24-yard pass from Aubrey Bristow to Bell. The lone two points for Capitol Hill came on a safety midway in the second period. The game unfolded four standout features which were to provide a trend for later play for the locals: One: Bristow's fine job as field general. Two: A 34-yard dash by substitute half- back Roy Dennis which set up the first counter for the Plainsmen and showed the depth of the Enid backfield. Three: The fine punting contributed by Hughes that kept the Hillers with their backs to the wall. Four: A shoestring-tackle by Wade Arnold on the Enid four-yard line which prevented a Redskin tally. ENID 13, PONCA CITY 0-Rated as playing the top game of the week for the third time, the Big Blue popped the Ponca City Wildcats, 13-0, in a bruising battle at Plainsmen Field before 6,000 screaming fans. Herb Bailey, linebacking star, scored Enid's Hrst touchdown and figured on the second as he had himself a Held day. Neither team could roll all evening with the Wildcat's gaining only five first downs and the Plainsmen mustering four. In fact, Ponca's deepest penetration came in the second period when it went to the Enid 37-yard line. Mtich of this was to be at- tributed to the kicking of Rocky Hughes which kept the Wildcats in the hole. The heroes were many in the trenches: ends Iohn Bell, Worth Clark and Ierry Dorn, tackles Victor Hayes, Glen Painter, Keith Lynn, Richard Massey and Hughes, guards B.
