The old bngaboo of extra points tripped up the Plainsmen as they lost their fourth straight game to an in-pired bunch of XX'ild- eats in a thriller at Ponca City. After a scoreless first quarter, Enid quar- terback lohnny Pellow took a Ponca City pitehout and left the surprised YVildcats s'aring after him as he raced 65 yards to twlly. Ponca City retaliated in equally un- expected fashion when VVildcat tackle Ray Boring intercepted Pellowls pass on the Enid 27 and went over standing up. XVith 3:55 gone in the third quarter Duane Roady. left half, gave Ponca the edge when he took a direct pass from center and took off around end for a beautiful 86-yard run.

FINAL SCORE: ENID 20-CLAS SEN 54. The season's smallest crowd sat in 36 degree weather for more than two full quar- ters before seeing either Enid or Northeast cross the goal line. All things considered though. it was worthwhile for the 5.500 most ardent or most hai'dy fans who remained as Enid broke its long losing streak at Viking expense. After a prolonged Enid drive fell short. the ball changed hands twice within striking distance of the goal. Then in a display of fancy ball handling. Pellow pitched out to Arnold who faked and passed to NfcDaniel. complctc for a TD. Not to be outdone. iNlortheast's Iohn Delaney returned the kickoff 86 yards to tie the game. Enid hit again with liellow calling a keeper twisting through the ep- position for a 43-yard touchdown run.

Viking fullback. broke away for a 64-yard TD. Enid bounced back and used just three minutes moving the pigskin 70 yards to the final touchdown. Arnold going over on a handoll' from 18 yards out. l:lNAL SCORE: ENlD 33fNORTl-IEAST l3. Lawton kept ahead of Enid the whole distance, scoring three times while holding the Blue and YVhite to a lone tally in the closing minutes of the game. The'XVolver- ines had complete charge of the ball during the first two periods. ln fact, Enid had possession only five times in the first quarter and accomplished nothing. Ending a 77-yard drive. Xkiolverine half Albert Terrill went right down the middle to the goal line 19 yards awav. Then with 8:57 remaining in the half. fullback Darwin Porter went .32 yards over guard for the second Lawton TD. Early in the second half. the Enid line was right and Lawton made no headway. but it was to no avail when an Enid fumble which took only six plays to complete. Enidis lone score came in the fourth after an exchange of fumbles left the ball on the Lawton 35. Bill h'leDaniel took over from there and clinched the score where it stood as the game ended. FINAL SCORE: ENID 6-LAYYTON 21. humping to an early 14-point lead, El Reno was overtaken and finally edged in a tens: season finale that produced individual stars and satisfied fans' craving for revenge for a similar one-point defeat at El Reno last year. hffidway in the second quarter.

14 Tun Quai. Maoixzmii plainsmen plat, jot ,jj A graduation-weakened Plainfmen squad that took the field confidently and success- fully early in the season fell victim to the greater experience and size of opposing teams but with spirit and fight reminiscent of championship Enid elevens of the past salvaged a 5 Win46 loss record. Coaching their first year at Enid high. Charles Paine and lim Keeton were well received by players and fans. Both are EHS graduates. Paine graduating in 1946 and Keeton, a member of the class of 1943. As might be expected, both coaches were outstanding in athletics at Enid high. Under the tutelage of T, King, they made the all-conference, Keeton later playing his col- lege football at Tulane University under the coaching of Henry Ernka and T. King. and Paine at.the University of Oklahoma under Bud Wilkiiisciri. Faced with a rebuilding job this year, Coaches Paine and Keeton made prohtable use of a star-studded backfield and a willing hut largely inexperienced line to show up well against the best the conference had to offer. Enid drew first blood in the season opener against Cherokeels Chiefs scoring on a Holden-Dykes handoff within the first two minutes, with the conversion by Ray Downs, Enidis place-kicking specialist who ran up an impressive percentage of successes during the year. One minute later, after the Plainsmen gained possession on a pass interception, right halfback Bill lV1cDaniel sprinted 32 yards to pay dirt. Opening-game jitters cancelled two long runs. a 65-yard reverse by Wade Arnold and a 70-yard punt return by McDaniel, due to over-eager Plainsmen jumping the gun. Five seconds into the second quarter Holden completed a jump pass to Dennis who ran 60 yards to score. Dykes scored from 38 yards out for the fourth Enid marker, the score then standing 26-0. Cherokeels first score was set up on the Enid three by a fumbled punt attempt. Racing against the buzzer ending the half. quarterback Bragg slipped across the goal line. The Chiefs had the last word in the game scoring again late in the final period on a four-yard plunge. FINAL SCORE: FNID Z6-CHEROKEE 12. Against a highly rated Welliiigtoii, Kaus.. squad the Plainsmen put on an impressive performance, rolling up a 28-point margin before the visitors tallied once, The Hrst TD came on the first Enid play of the game with just 2:13 gene on a 1'1olden-Arnold- Dykes relay for 40 yards. Next came a three-yard plunge by Dykes and six more points, set up by a Wellington fumble on -BY, BRUCE HINSON their own 32 with Enid recovering. Speedy halfback Watle Arnold countered for Enid again on a 34-yard handoff tackle. just practicing for what was the most spec- tacular play of the evening a 74-yard punt return from his own 26 to give rhe Blue and Wliite the 28-0 margin they held at the half. 1-lalftime ceremonies were highlighted by the coronation of beautiful jackie Lindsay as queen of the EHS band. A sustained drive of 68 yards earned the Crusaders their first touchdown of the eve- ning, polished off by quarterback Cary Thompson's 36-yard TD run. After a series of one-yard-line fumbles with the ball chang- ing hands several times, Dykes went over for the final Enid rally. VVellington's second string signal caller, Al Ybarra, sparked a drive from his own 36 ending in a 24-yard TD dash. FINAL SCORE: ENID 35-XVELLINCTON 13. ln the year's Hrst Micl-State conference clash, Normans fighting Tigers got the jump on the defenders and scored with just lVl'1' two hllI1llIt'S gUlTC T121 tltllf Hllst qllHl'fCl' on a 7-yard hop by halfback Carl Dodd. On the first play from scrimmage following the Norman TD, Bill 1VfcDaniel playing one of the great games which earned him a berth on the All-State eleven, dashed 67 yards to cross the double stripe. Stine seven minutes later, Norman again went into the lead with Dodd plowing through the center for 23 yards and a touchdown. ln the second quarter, after the ball had changed hands twice, eventually leaving Enid in possession, Arnold made an easy 23 yards to the TD. 1XfcDaniel rolled up more of his impres- sive total of mileage. taking a punt on his own 25 and riding the sidelines for 75 yards. bringing the score to 21-12. thc widest point spread in the game. By virtue of an Enid fumble on their own 25, Norman fullback Tommy Euerborn added six for Norman and put them back in the gCl'llC. The Tigers were finallv able to take advantage of the numerous fumbles and scored from 25 yards out. running the scere to 25-21 in their favor. Vrfirh less than two minutes remaining in the final stanza all seemed lost for the locals. lint they had an ace up the sleeve in the foim of a Holden-Dennis pass good for 49 yards and a story book finish. Rav Downs converted for a total of four for fhe game which actually provided the winning margin with an even number of touchdowns, The victory proved costly however due to an injury to star senior guard Richard Harman, who fractured his leg in the fray and performed an iron man stunt of prac- ticing two fiill weeks and playing two more rrrmes before an x-ray examination revealed the break, ending his active participation for the remainder of the season. E1NA1. SCORE: ENID 28-NORMAN 25. S111lVVI1CL',S YVolfpack, hungry for revenge for a freak 19-13 defeat at Plainsman hands last year, completely overpowered Enid, holding the locals scoreless while hitting pay dirt three times themselves. ln the cpening period, Shawneeis Eloyd Greenfield traveled 56 yards for the Vlfolves' first counter. A bad pass from center set up the visitors' second TD when the ball went high over Arnold, who was attempting to Pllllt, into the end zone. Arnold ran the ball out to the ten from where Shawnee scored two plays later. Lovely Barbara l-lolden, chosen by the Plainsmen to reign as '53 football queen, was crowned at halftime by co-captain Richard l-larman. Starting strong in the third quarter, the Plainfman attack died down as before with Shawnee recovering an Enid fumble. Three times the outweighed Enid line held against the Shawnee scoring threat within the one- foot-line and, with a 5-yard Vlfolfpack penalty, appeared able to prevent a third TD. but on the fourth down Tommie Hall crossed the goal. A serious Enid scoring threat that failed to materialize began with an 18-yard pass, Ingram to Dennis, from the Shawnee 49, and fsll through when an aerial into the end zone by Arnold was knocked back across the line by a Shawnee defender. FINAL SCORE: ENID 0-SHAW- NEE 21. Smothered by the Central Cardinals' at- tack. the Plainsmen suffered their second less of the season. The Cardinals struck first with two quick TD's in the first quarter and dominated play throughout the game. Enid did not score until well into the second period, running out three downs within the Central nine and finally completing a short toss from Holden to Dykes in the end zone. Vvithin 30 seconds after the kickoff, Cen- tral's Richard Parris raced 58 yards to touchdown territory. Enid's only other touchdown also came in the second stanza when fullback Rooky Dykes charged four yards over the line. Gerald lvfcphail, ace back of the Cardinals, accounted for the final two TD's, one in the third period and the last early in the fourth. johnny Pellow's 17-yard touchdown run late in the final quarter was recalled with a penalty, ending any possible scoring threat.
