'in 1. . ,Q t in til., gs. as THE WACO GAME- 1 '-'Q' THE MEN BEHIND OUR CHAMPS lb ttteflp sv ,,, . - 'L Q 0- Q The natural thing for a great team to do, after a let-down such as the Mineral Wells game, is to come back the next week twice as strong and determined. 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
