New Coach Begins Painful Rebuilding Fans held their breath and dared to hope that maybe this season would be as successful as last. With new football coaches. Tom Cobble from Kingfisher, Cliff Schultz from Kansas, and the loss of 11 starters from last years squad, there was a question mark to the seasons outcome. Bob Clark was back at line coach and this fact helped in building a solid team. It did not take the Jackets long to get the ball rolling by winning the first two games. With a combination of in- juries and inexperience the next seven games were lost. During the last game the Jackets put it all together and knocked off Bethany 46-15. The Jack- ets had nothing to be ashamed of be- cause they played one of the toughest schedules in Class A Football. Coach Cobble and Mark Massey discuss defensive strategy. 15

Senior Don Smith was the leading ground gainer and scorer with 1,196 yards and 9 touchdowns. Joe Strubhart led the receivers with 141 yards and 2 touchdowns. One of the bright spots of the Jacket team was the defense led by five All-District Seniors: F. L. Wanker, Dan Morris, Vince Ewing, Bill Rowe, and Don Smith. The defense as a unit held their opponent to an average of two touchdowns per game. Joe Strubhart races to a winning touchdown in the last seconds of the Thomas game.
