In hard fought gridron bat
tie yesterday at Enid, the Chicka-
sha high school was defeated by the
home team to 6, the failure of the
Purple and Gold gang to complete a
punt-out after Goetting's touchdown
near the side line, losing them the try
at goal and the game, Enid put over
the winning point by booting goal
Owing to the fact that both touch
downs were made on flukes, the score
apparently should have been a tie.
Goetting alone featured in the scoring
for Chickasha, and an Enid half back,
grabbing tumble, raced across the
field for the lone touchdown registered
by that aggregation.

down and put the Enid bunch on the
defensive early in the struggle. Enid

down on Chickasha's 30-yard line

resulted in practically no gain and

! ing spilled about the center Of the
field A short end run attempted by
Enid resulted in no gain and they es-
sayed forward pass to the side of the
field, the order of things being for an
end laying well out to receive. Goet-
| ting wax on the job, however, raced
liz front of the Enid man, snuggled the
oval to his wishbone and before the
Enid players knew what was happen
ing, was sprinting away toward the
Enid goal line.
Said line was So yards distant and to
negotiate the territory it was neces
sary to pass through broken field Of
hostile Enid players. This Goetting
did after a series of dodging, change
OF stride and an exhibition of sprinting
that was good to look upon. He was
pulled down near the edge of the field
after he had crossed the goal line. The
