auf, ALI.. DISTRICT 5 . yi .2 J M,- .. 'I . Who reads the newspapers more avidly and thumbs the sport pages more often than the Bucks on the fewf anxious days before the All- District team is announced? And why not, when we find named on the first team our quarter-back, Frank White, a unanimous choice, and our center, Wilburn Gray, on the second team, Ierry Fisher and lack Ionesg and for honorable men- xtion, Harwell McConnell and Nathan King. THE ABILENE GAME. For the seventh con- secutive time the Buckaroos proved victorious over the Abilene Eagles when they Won by a score of l9 to 6 on the home field. The game was hard-fought and provided plenty of thrills and spills. The Bucks showed great promise in this Homecoming Game as Old Breck Hi marked up victory number one in a very im- pressive fashion. THE PASCHAL GAME. Stiff competition was again in store for the Green and White when they journeyed to Paschal in Fort Worth for the second game of the season. The Pan- thers rode Lady Luck all the way for a 20 to 19 victory. Buckaroo fans found this first defeat hard to take but consoled themselves with the fact that sometimes the best team doesn't win. THE WICHITA FALLS GAME. lt's just the case of a good little team against a good big teamf' Thus in so many words is the story of the 19 to 6 defeat of the Buckaroos by the Coy- otes in the third non-conference game of the season. THE GRAHAM GAME. Before 4,000 fans the Buckaroos received their third straight defeat of the year when they played host to the Graham Steers. Coach Cooper Robbins and his boys left the field disappointed at a 7 to 13 loss, but their loyal supporters were proud of the showing they made against one of the state's foremost teams. THE STEPHENVILLE GAME. With three hard lessons in How To Take Defeat under their belts, the Buckaroos met the Yellow Iac- kets in Stephenville for their first conference game. lt was a game that proved Breckenridge had a good team but had been meeting un- usually stiff opposition. The final score, 25 to 13, gave the Bucks a good start in district. THE RANGER GAME. The Ranger Bulldogs fell victims to a crushing 39 to 13 defeat by a rapidly improving Buckaroo team. It was a game in which the Bucks excelled all the way and came home minus injuries, leaving the Bulldogs a tired, beaten, team.

The mighty Buck- aroos ran away with the Weatherford game by scoring almost at will in every quarter. The Bucks gained an easy 13 to 7 lead and from then on were never seriously threatened. Instead they scored six more times to make the scoreboard read 47 and 7 when the clock stopped. With this lopsided victory the Buckaroos hit a new scoring high for 1946. THE BROWNWOOD GAME. Since the beginning of the season there was one tilt on the Buckaroo schedule to which all the football boys and fans had been pointing. That was the Armistice Day game with the Brownwood Lions. The spirited Bucks marched to a stunning 27 to 6 victory be- fore 450O wildly cheering fans. The Lions threat- ened twice in the second half, but the Bucks had football in their hearts and victory on their minds. On this day of days how truly did old Breck Hi shine! Frank strives for paydirt. 5-T ki wk' fizynn k If A . t . A. THE MINERAL WELLS GAME. Riding high from the Brownwood victory, the Buckaroos were knocked from their dream world when they met the Mountaineers. The visitors, who came to avenge a lO3 to U pasting they received from the Bucks of three years ago, converted a pair of fourth period breaks into a 7 to U victory. Amidst streaming tears the Bucks and their fans left the field, scene of a great upset. THE CISCO GAME. Battling dampened spirits be- cause of losing to Mineral Wells, the Buckaroos won over the Cisco Loboes for the eighteenth con- secutive year in the final and most thrilling game of the season. With 58 seconds to play, the Bucks opened their famous and potent passing attack to gain six desperately needed points for their side. All in all it was a clean, yet hard game in which the best team got pushed around some but finally won out - 13 to 12. ,sygbrg i -Ni, mg- - -- .,. - t - -- - Q -Q M 1 N 7 'Quia swf?-'ssirmwr rf if -fifty.,-vs.1amuar mn4ulumrv1t1'n!awwi'.xmu4mA.xzvw sm1l.
