WS N THE VERNON G,3tM'E-Nov. 17, 1939 THE MINERAL YVELLS GAME- Nov. 24, P939 Us N Gb B MTiIAT? l,m1-MJUU8' It was a cold, rainy, and dreary Armistice Day when our Buckaroos met and defeated the chesty Brownwood Lions 13-0 on ole Buckaroo held. The game was a thriller from beginning to end and the ball was so slick that fumbles, had they occurred in the wrong place, might have meant, defeat for the home tearn. The highting Bucks paid little heed to the downpour of rain and went merrily on with their work which, in the end, resulted in their seventh straight. victory and practically cinched the right to retain possession of the Oil Belt Crown for another year. r, V, f 'rs 3 if-5?'fW'5'lAV Fl 'K . ir 'X 'x Q Lil ir I L' ella-in 'K'-KJV!! X J The Vernon Lions were also an important member of the Buckaroos revenge list and were inost cheerfully and whole-heartedly removed, 13-7. The outstanding play of the line was the most important factor in the victory and without their line blocking and defensive work little could have been accomplished. Strawberry Rowan and Sleepy Harris were especially out- U ancling on the line and one or the other was always found on the bottom of every Lion at- tempt to advance the hall. Coach Curtis was very proud of this eighth straight victory of the Buckaroos for they had given him a victory over his old home town and he was satished. yt? JMQYLD 51 tffrtlrtalif. No good reason can be given for the poor showing made by the Bucks against the Mineral Wells Mountaineers and probably the least said about it the better. After being thoroughly out- played throughout the entire game by the in- spired Mountaineers, the Bucks, as well as all Buckaroo followers were satisfied with the 12-12 disgrace placed upon them. Only a timely fifty- two-yard touchdown dash by Hamil and a mirac- ulous flying catch of a touchdown pass by Harris saved the Bucks from dishonor and defeat. YVe know we had a far better team than the Moun- taineers did so let's say that the Bucks just werent prepared. aaa J rp'-.. ls
