“Second in district, behind the Muskogee Roughers, the Chieftains, with a win in their next district game (against Muskogee) will be ‘on the way to state.’ With the 12-7 win over Bartlesville College Friday night, the Chiefs moved into position for the defense of the 4A-7 district championship…This supplementary interaction between the offense and defense, shown only in the better teams, used against Sand Springs Friday, and Muskogee, November 2, will put Sapulpa on the winning tack in the state play-offs.”
