Enid Suprises Indians Friday
With 26-19 Upset Victory
County to Enter
Farm Bureau Tilt
At State Meet
By Bill Adams and Chuck Janssen*
For the second time this season,
the El Reno Indians were jolted
hard with a defeat as a small but
lirod up and determined Enid
crew walked off the field at the
end of last Friday night’s contest,
a 25-19 victor. The Indians have
drilled hard all week long in an
effort to pull the “big one” out
of the fire tomorrow evening at
Ardmore agains; die powerful Ti-
gers who are currently leading the
Boomer Conference with a league
record of 4-0.
Last week, the Tribe just could
not seem to warm up as thei.
drives were constantly halted by
untimely penalties, fumbles, and
pass Interceptions. The Plains-
men kicked off to start the game
and Gary Borneman returned the
ball to the Tribe 38.
Indians Score First
Utilizing an unbalanced line,
the Indians, little by little, punch-
ed the ball down the field to the
Enid 14. From that point Bob
McDaniel, using his interference
with perfection, skirted right end
for the first score of the game.
Tillery’s attempt at the point after
was barely wide and the Indians
led 6-0.
After the kickoff, the Plains-
men ran two plays wide and then
brought the crowd to its feet as
Ray Gone Robertson broke up the
middle for 60 yards and six points
for the Plainsmen. The conver-
sation was muffed and the score
was knotted, 6-6 at the end of the
first period.

From the first days, citizens of
America have relied on their abili-
ty and willingness to bond to-
gether for self protection. When
an armed force was necessary for
the protection of settlements, mill-
good sportsmanship and a sense
of moral responsibility. Upon com-
pletion of service with the Guard,
they are secure with the know-
ledge that they have done their
part in the defense of their coun-
try.
It should now be evident to all
of us that the National Guards-
man is a citizen-soldier who per-
forms a patriotic serv ice to his
country.

In the latter stages of the first
half, a 15-yard roughing penalty

sen’s attempt to put the Indians
out in front went wide and left
the score tied at the end of the
first half.
Robertson Scores Again
Following the second half kick-
off the two teams fought back and
forth in the middle of the field
until Ray Gene Robertson again
broke up the middle on the trap
plav and sprinted 45 years for.the
tally. This made the score 19-12
at the end of the third quarter. In
the opening minutes of the final
period an Indian drive moved the
ball to the Enid 14 yard line,
where Jody Farris fought over
for the tallv. Tillery’s conversion
went true and the score once
again was in a deadlock, 19-19.
Trap Play Works
The Plainsmen once again call-
ed upon the talents of fullback
Robertson and the deceptiveness
of the trap play to muster a 45-
vard scoring play. The extra point
was no good but the six points
proved to be the margin of vic-
tory as the Indians were unable
to thi eaten the Enid double stripe
during the remainder of the game
Tomorrow night the Indians will
journey to Ardmore where they
will enuage the powerful Tigers
in a contest that will decide the
outcome of the 1955 Boomer Con-
ference race. The records of the
two teams arc identical at 7-2 but
the Tigers hold the edge in con-
ference play with a 4-0 record as
com pored to the Tribes 3-1. The
Tigers run several different for-
mations to utilize the running abil-
ity of their top ground gainei this
year, John Paul Johnson.
Never Have Won Crown
This is the final regular sched-
uled game of the season and may
very well be the last chance for
16 seniors to represent their school
on the gridiron. If the Indians
can take this one it will mean a
share of the Boomer Conference
crown, which has never been won
by an EHS football team.
