FOOTB LL With the aid of nine returning lettermen, the Wyan- dotte Bulldogs once again captured the mythical city title, and completed the season with a 5-3-1 record which ranked them 13th in the state. Coach Ed Ellis' gridsters tallied two touchdowns to down the invading Central Eagles 12 to O in the sea- son's opening game. With both teams supporting a rugged defense, the Canines finally pulled ahead in the fourth quarter when Dan Sheley went over for the first TD of the season. A short time later Ray Laing scored on a quarterback sneak behind the center of the hard charging Wyandotte line. A startled Shawnee Mission eleven found out the hard way that being a favorite on paper doesn't always win a football game as the determined Canines battled them to a 6-6 tie. Showing off a newly acquired passing at- tack the Bulldogs scored first, but the Indians came back to tie. J. W. Graves made an outstanding play in the game as he gathered in a stray Redskin aerial and loped for a nice gain which started a drive climaxed by Bob Kohler's plunge from the two. Ron Salts and Mike Miller also played a fine game filling in for the injured Bob Gramer and Charley Brown, The homecoming jinx was broken with both the team and Queen, Carol Kukuk, walking away with the laurels of victory as the Bulldogs downed the Pioneers of Leav- enworth 13 to O.

Consolation was gained, however, when the fired up Ellismen went on to break the Argentine Mustangs the following week. Capitaliz- ing on two fumbles, one of which was grabbed by Bob Westfall who scampered 41 yards for a TD, the Bull- dogs rolled up a score of 25 to 19. A strong Ward Cyclone offense stalled more than once as the underdog Ellismen sparkled on defense and dis- played a passing attack which moved them further up in the top ten teams of the state and won the game 32 to O. The roaring Bulldog crowd came to their feet as Clyde Pierce made a brilliant 74-yard broken field run and as Wyandotte's quarterbacks put together an offense which showed to all that the Canines must and would be respected. Although the Bulldogs outplayed the first place To- peka Troians statistically, they lost 7 to O on a touch- down which was made on a 58-yard pass play in the last ten seconds of the game. This blow was increased when the Red and White dropped a hard fought de- fensive battle to the Lawrence Lions the following week 13 to O. To finish the season up right twenty-two Wyandotte seniors sparked the team to a 31 to 13 victory over the Northeast Vikings. The seniors took the scoring honors as Doyle Nickels went over for three touchdowns to make him the team's leading scorer of the season with 30 points.
