The truth of the matter is that our final record was seven losses and no wins.

Football Team Merits Praise Coach Lloyd Skelton, former FHS star, worked many long hours teaching the boys the principles of good football. Skelton played foot- ball at Southeastern State College and Louis- iana State University, He served as Lieutenant in the Marine Corps before coming to Fox and was later recalled to the reserves. Coach Skelton was assisted by Bruce Mas- sey who played his highschool football at Bro- ken Bow. He attended Tulsa University where he played football during his freshman year and later played one year at Murray Junior College. Our football team is backed by an active Quarter Back Club. The officers are Chester McKee, president, R. H. Davis, vice-presidentz and H. B. Wright, secretary-treasurer. Face guards, a whirlpool, a score board, and a new football house were among the new equipment obtained during the year. The most encouraging aspect of our '53 season is the. fact that we lost only five out of twenty-two players. Coach Skelton looks for- ward to a successful season next year.
