Ending the ' 53 season as Class B State Champs in football, the ' 54 Oilers began right where they had left off. With a winning streak of eight straight to improve on, they won six in a row and had a two year record of 14 consecutive victories. Before their letdown, they had held the top spot in virtually all the ratings. Despite their two losses at the closing of the season, the Oilers were still able to roll up 165 points compared to their opponents ' 40. Proof of their defensive power is shown by the scores of the other teams as Mt. Pleasant held them to an average of five points a game. Along with some of the misery of the ' 54 season there were also many highlights. One of the brightest moments for the Oilers was the East Lansing game when Bud Foltz returned the second-half kickoff 74 yards for the Oilers ' second TD of the evening. Another time at Cadillac it was Foltz again, this time with an intercepted pass good for an 80 yard six pointer. The Ludington game also proved to have some thrills. This was the game when junior halfback Terry Hammond scored three TD ' s, one of which came on an exciting 75 yard run. Although there weren ' t any terrifically long runs for the Oilers in the Big Rapids game, it was thrill after thrill, mostly supplied by Roger Frayre ' s consistent gains on end sweeps. There were bad memories connected with the ' 54 season, the worst being the loss of ace quarterback Jerry Wiley because of a knee injury. Also unforgettable is the Saginaw St. Andrew ' s game when the Figgmen lost five of five fumbles. Despit e their league loss to Manistee, the Oilers were still able to tie for first in the confer- ence. Along with this honor, four individuals were placed on the All-Conference first team. These were guard Ted Foley, center Butch Thorpe, fullback Mike Sweeney, and tackle Dave Randolph. Guard Wesley Welsh and Bill Finch were named to the second team. Sweeney and Thorpe were also named to numerous All-State teams, and Foley and Randolph received honor- able mention. :.0
