SWEETWATER: The Mustangs, geared to a pitch that schoolboy football teams can seldom be inspired to reach, powered their way to an 18-14 victory over the Bucks, The Mustangs held the Green and White scoreless during the final half to overcome a 14-6 lead held by the Bucks at the halftime. Thus underdog Sweetwater served Brecken- ridge their only defeat of the 1954 season, VERNON: The Bucks pulverized the Lions, 35-O, with a brilliant defense and enough speed and passes to blaze into the State AAA play-offs, Buckaroo substitutes played on offense throughout the final quarter and added a touch- down on a fumble recovered by Taylor. The Green Shirts snared five Vernon passes, partially blocked three Lion kicks, and ran back three other punts for 117 yards in achieving this victory.

The Steers were certainly not to be under-rated, but were out-classed by the spirited Bucks who effectively avenged the Steers 7-O victory last year. SNYDER: The Tigers held the Bucks scoreless for the first quarter before the inevitable happened and the Buckaroos ground their way to a 42-13 decision. Everett, Cramer, Pevey, Payne, and Watts were credited for outstand- ing defensive play, while Carpenter was the game's leading ground gainer.
