okee and Enid games, the Chickasha
squad put up a never-to-be-forgotten
fight. It was a true football game in
every particular. Anadarko came to
Chickasha with an average Of five
pounds more beef to the man than
Chickasha could boast OF and with the
belief that they could beat their old
time ranquishers by a margin OF at
least twenty-one points Their great
trust turned into absolute doubt, how
ever, as the game progressed, and the
game ended in to 7 tie.
That the game would be a closely
contested one was evident from the
start when both teams were alter
nately in possession OF the much COW
cted ball and BY neither one being able
to make any great gains. But to a
close observer it could be seen that
Chickasha played just little "cIass
ierg ball than did the opposing team.
chickasha kept the ball well into the
enemy's territory throughout the
game and Anadarko made her score
only by intercepting a forward pass on
their lo-yard line and running through
a clear field for a touchdown.
While all the Chlckasha boys played
a good game there are some who de-
serve special mention. Among this
number is Dan Riddle. the center He
was demon" at tackling 'em and one
time IN the game blocked a punt and
ran the ball down the field 40 yards.
Louie Gardner, left end. is another
notable. He filled his position well
and many times caught passes when
surrounded by many OF the enemy's
fighting men. The two Hills as half
backs we're real wizards and were
good game and Wilson was still sit
ting there" Hobson Buie as guard
showed that he knew football and
much is expected of him in the years
to come.
In spite OF the hard playing of both
sides. however. neither team was able
to pile up the larger score, and when
the final results we're read 1t was found
that each team had made one touch
down and had kicked one goal.
