l l KVVS cfonlf figs to gut , gut The Buchanan football team completed another success- ful season in 1939, winning live games and extending its un- beaten streak to 21 games before losing at Dowagiac, 14 to 7. Only seven letter men returned from last year's undefeated squad. The Bucks were outplayed by Coloma in the first game but managed to eke out a 7 to 6 victory by virtue of a touchdown pass and a flanky extra point. The following week, at the dedication of the newly lighted field, they overpowered Cassopolis, 24 to 0. Then at Paw Paw they crushed the home team 27 to 0 in a drab afternoon game. 'l'ne big game of the year with Niles, turned out very satisfactorily. Scoring twice in the second quarter, the Bucks trimmed the 'l'ornado's 14 to 0 in a cold drizzly night game. The Central Catholic In- dians of South Bend came to town the next week and gave up live touchdowns, three extra points, and a safety in ab- sorbing a 35 to 6 lacing. After a week's lay off, the team went to Dowagiac for a night game. They spotted the Indians two touchdowns in the irst quarter and were unable to catch up despite a brilliant second half rally. This defeat was the first for a Buchanan football team in three years. The last game of the season was against the strong State High team of Kalamazoo. Although playing on Buchanan's field, State High wasted no time in scoring, and when the massacre was over, held a 32 to 0 advantage. This was partial revenge for State because in 1937 the Bucks broke State's winning streak at 21 by beating them 6 to 0.
