Wav.-Fri., . ..- - '--- - PIGSKIN REVIEW DAVE WILSON, Captain Quarterback Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, it might have been. One point cost the l95l Sparkplugs two championships. The Marion County Championship went to Decatur Central instead of the Plugs by virtue of their l4-l3 victory over the Plugs. This also gave Decatur the Mid-State Conference Championship. The Speedway Sparkplugs started their l95l season with lZ returning Iettermen, not one weighing close to ZOO pounds. Speedway had one of the smallest teams in Speedway history, but what they lacked in size they made up in spirit. Speedway capitalized on their size by using speed and know-how to great advantage. ' Speedway showed the fans some of the greatest offensive power seen in the county for a long time. Not only were they very free in scoring touch- downs, but they were stingy in handing them out. The Plugs averaged 35 points a game while limiting the opponents to only six points a game. The Plugs started the season with a rush by slaughtering their first two opponents by identical scores of 46-6. The first two opponents, Brownsburg and Danville, were bewildered by the Plugs' blinding speed. Seven men scored in each of the first two games for the Plugs, no two men scoring twice in the same game. Back row-Keith Barding, Ronnie Urban, Jerry Siefers, Jim Coughlin, Jack Wilson, Charles Walters, Dick Jordan, Ronnie Vance. Second row-Kenny Boyer, Bill Toole, Ed Racer, Dick Stumph, Mr. Johnson, Dave Wilson, Tom Hanna, Dick Downs, Jerry Long. First row-Danny Pohlar, Ronnie Money, Dick Wolfe, George Mayo, Bob Curtis, Kenny Lawson, John Rikhoff.

QV l l SOUND MIMS HOERGER E F F E C T S MARILYN THOMAS Our sound effects crew zipped into action at each of the games. During pep- sessions, this able-bodied crew presented new yells with corresponding antics. To aid some of the jazzy pep tunes, Larry Thomas and Jim Neal blasted forth with their rendition of Hey-bob-a-re-bob. Chief of the sound crew was Mims, a junior, who has been cheering the Sparkplugs forward for three years. The only boy, and only senior yell leader, was Gary. For a long time to come he'll be remembered for his floor-covering Ziggity Boo. Ann and Marilyn, sophomores, are both newcomers to the sound crew. This foursome has worked diligently and successfully to keep alive good sportsmanship and school spirit. THE GOLDEN HORDE T FORMATION: Back field-Kenny Lawson, Dave Wilson, Dick Stumph, Ronnie Vance. Line-Bill Toole, Dick Jordan, Eddie Racer, John Rikhotf, Danny Pohlar, Dick Downs, Jerry Long.
