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

The Bucks did come back very strong against the Cisco Loboes and set thein back on their haunches 20-0 in a Turkey Day game that was all the Buckaroos' from start to finish. For the second consecutive year. The Bucks became Oil Belt Champions and earned the right to meet the Waco Tigers in the bi- district play-off. Hamil and Rusk again led in the defeat of the enemy, and many yards of Lobo turf massed beneath their feet as touch- down-bount they flew. lf? .,L,L.,.c,,l, cyl K5 4f,,fg.5' Z We all wish that the Yvaco game could have ended after the first eighteen minutes, for at that time our gallant Buckaroos led I3-0. These two touchdowns came as the result of a Waco fumble on their own twenty and a memorable seventy yard punt return by Rusk. We don't like to give excuses, but had the day not been so hot, or if Waco had played only eleven men as the Bucks did, we believe the score would have been differ- ent from 27-13. NVQ have no regrets, for our Buckaroos of '39 made a great record with nine victories, one tie, and one defeat, and it will go down as one of the greatest ever. Our Buckaroo team of '39 was one of the great- est that ever donned the green and white of old Breck, and lest we should forget their fine record, we set forth these facts as follows: nine victories, one tie, and one defeat: a total of two hundred and forty-six points to the opponents seventy and allowed only one Oil Belt rival to cross their goal lineg Hamil, Harris, and Collins made All- District while Rowan, Xvard, Cain, and Pardue made the second team, Harnil and Harris were chosen as number one back and number one linesman of the district and Collins was elected captain of the All-District teamg Harris and Col- lins made several All-State teams as well as being picked as players of the annual North-South All- Star game-3 so to this great team Ole Breck Hi gives one last Hail to the Buckaroos of l939. 5, 'af I Qi
