The Louisiana football team started its season with a letterman returning to every position and a new coach. Coach Cunningham led his boys to a record of two wins, six loses, and one tie. ,Although they had a rather poor season, the Bulldogs had a hard-fighting eleven. The Bulldogs used the single-wing formation and found it very effective. Most of their defeats were suffered because of having a small team and a poor offense. Nineteen boys were awarded letters for their efforts during the season, They were: Bill Barker, Endg Clifford Bliss, Backfield Ray Bliss, Tailbackg Charles Buffum, Centerg Rockne Calhoun, Tackle, Junior Clark, Guardg Jim Hedges, Guardg Sammy Kilby, Guardg Jim Mosley, Backfieldg Ollie Parker, End, Clyde Penrod, Tackleg Danny Roan, Backfieldg Dick Rue, Backfieldg John Shade, Guard, Joe Shields, Backfieldg Charles Shotton, Center, LeRoy, Storey, Guard: Loren Umfleet, End, Bernie Wagner, Tackle, Ray Bliss, Tailback, broke his ankle in the second game and was unable to finish the season.

The Louisiana Bulldogs opened the i r 1954-55 basketball season under the supervision of Coach Bill Cunningham, in this first year at L, H, S, At the close of the '54-'55 season the Bulldogs shaped up to be one ofthe powerhouses of this area. Because of ineligibility and of boys moving away, the re source s of the team were cut sharply, Returning lettermen were: Bil1Barker, Floyd Branstetter Jim Mosley, and Ollie Parker. The Bulldogs were entered in three tournaments during the year, and also the subregional tourney at Troy, Missouri. The Bulldogs were the bige st suprise in their own tourneyas they defeated Affton and I, S, D, In the third game the Bulldoges took on the highly favo r e d Troy and gave the Trojans one of their hardest games of the season. Within two points of the 'I'roytea.m,. with only a few seconds left, the Bulldogs just counldn't quite make, it, and the game ended with a bl-05 count in favo r of Troy, The Bulldogs were then eliminated in their thi r d place bid by a strong Eureka team. I, S, D. won consolation, Bayless second, and Troy first. ln the Clopton tournament the boys took second place, defeating New London and Warrenton, which was one of the highlights of the season, but lost to Clopton. Although the season's record of 10-15 was not an outstanding one, itwas one not to be ashamed of. In a few of the games the Bulldogs were beaten by bad brakes and not the superiority ofthe other team. Lack of a skyscraper hurt the team in many games, particularly in the one subregional tourney against Montgomery City. Lost to the team this year through graduation areg Bernie Wagner, Floyd Branstetter, Clyde Penrod, and Marvin Dillender. Itwill be a tough job for Coach Cunningham to replace these able players. A Major factor in the games the Bulldogs won this year was their hot games. During many games they won, even when the other team was going good, the Bulldogs kept pace and finally won.
