QM939 The Bucks of '39 opened the season in record breaking style and in doing so defeated the Abilene Eagles 52-6. Never in the history of the two schools had either team won by so great a margin and, judging by the victory, the Bucks had another powerful team. The Buckaroo line displayed some fine blocking and the rabbit backs, Hamil, Rusk and Cain, flew through the holes with lightning rapidity. Although the second team was used a great deal ol the time, the Eagles could not stern the tide of flying Buck- aroos, and Ole Breck Hi marked up victory number one in a very impressive fashion. ffl .,ttJ'55QQJ ONE- f'fiiif Ji The Bucks next played hosts to the Paschal Panthers of Fort Worth in a non-conference game and were again the conquerors, 49-19. Throughout the thrill-packed game the fans were bewildered by the spectacular aerial game pre- sented by the Panthers and although the game was closer than the score indicates, it was obvi- ous from the beginning that the Bucks would win, and they did so with little trouble. The Bucks' good luck had been on important factor in the hrst two victories, but when halfback Gown Cain was carried from the field with an injured knee their good luck came to a very sad halt. t li flags Miitl9te1i3lilgJr'L iLQ.,Q..j' In the clash with the Stephenville Yellow jack- ets in the first conference game of the year the Bucks encountered a much more experienced and determined team than had been niet pridkl to that time. It is true that the Bucks took their third straight victory 21-U, but as was a hard- earned victory and one not soon forgotten. Had it not been for some line line-blocking that was shown when most needed, some fancy ball- carrying by Hamil and Rusk, and the indomit- able spirit of the Buckaroos, we might have been defeated, but that is an entirely different story. ,?'t QL an '
