The Breckenridge Buckaroos,
sporting an 8-0 record, moved to the
top of Class AA while the other
three classification s top-rated teams
held on to their rankings in the
eighth weekly United Press Interna
tional Texas high school football poll
released Tuesday.
Abilene Cooper polled all 17 firsts
and a maximum 170 points to top
Class AAAA, Paris drew 10 firsts
and 161 points to lead Class AAA,
and China Spring had 11 firsts and
158 points to remain atop the Class
A ratings as voted by the Texas UPI
board of sportswriters and sportcas-
ters who regularly cover Texas
schoolboy athletics.
With the exception of Brecken
ridge, which replaced fallen Kenedy
atop the Class AA ratings, only
minor changes appeared in the
latest ratings as the top five teams —
with the exception of Kenedy —
remained the same.
Conroe remained No. 2 in Class
AAAA, La Porte retained third, San
Antonio Converse Judson was
fourth and Temple was fifth. All five
teams have 7-0 records.
Plano headed up the second five
in Class AAAA with a sixth-place
ranking, Houston Klein remained
seventh, and Lubbock Monterey
was eighth. Dallas White took over
ninth place and Marshall moved in
as 10th. They replaced Odessa Per
mian and San Antonio MacArthur,
both of whom were defeated last
week.
Huntsville, with three first-place
votes, remained second in Class
AAA, and Kerrville, with three
firsts, retained third, with Beau
mont Hebert fourth with one first
and Gregory-Portland fifth. All five
teams are unbeaten this year.
Lubbock Estacado, with the other
first-place vote, remained sixth and
San Angelo Lakeview was seventh.
However, the bottom three places
all were new, with Jacksonville (8-0)
taking over eighth, Brownwood
(6-2) returning to the rankings in
ninth place and San Antonio Madi
son (7-1) claiming 10th. They re
placed last week’s bottom three —
Cuero, Pecos and Jasper — all los
ers in last week’s games.
Kenedy’s 18-8 upset by Yoakum
knocked it all the way from the un
beaten in Class AA and No. 1 rank
ing, knocking it out of the top 10.
Behind Breckenridge, with nine
firsts, came Pittsburg with four
firsts, Childress with two firsts.
Hays Consolidated, Wylie with a
first and Hallettsville with the other
first. Abilene Wylie was ranked No.
7, Medina Valley No. 8, Van No. 9
and Fairfield No. 10. All of the top
10 teams this week are undefeated.
Second-ranked Haskell, third-
ranked Glen Rose and fourth-
ranked Seagraves each polled one
first-place ballot and fifth-ranked
Troup received the other three
first-place votes. Hawkins was rated
sixth, Flatonia seventh, Rotan
eighth, Dilley ninth and Pettus
10th. All 10 rated teams are unde
feated, although Dilley has been
tied, the only mark among the 10
teams. Pettus replaced Mason,
which was beaten last week by Junc
tion, 21-14.

Houston Hearts in the cham
pionship game.
The Hearts scored 10 points in
the first half which proved to be
enough to defeat the Aggies who
managed to score against the Hearts
in the second half, being the first
team in the tournament to do so.
The Aggies will play next in the

The creators ofKyh
haunt and taunt
Seeing as today is Halloween, it seems only appropriate
Texas Aggie football program is being haunted by spying
phantom touchdown catches by opposing teams, voodoo-practidnj
alumni and mysterious invisible creatures who have been running
around ripping the ball out of Aggie backs’ hands since
of the season.
One creature that has controlled the fate and record
team is the lowly Fourth-Quarter Phantom who has crawled outofliii
dark cave of defeat in the fourth quarter of three A&M gamestlis
season, turning victory into agonizing defeat.
The ever-present Tyrant of Turnover and Fumble Freak be
spent many a game with the Aggies, giving a helping hand to tie
Fourth-Quarter Phantom, making life miserable for the A&Moffeose
ad
and head coach Tom Wilson.
Speaking of Wilson and misery, a strange type of voodoo seems to
be in practice around Aggieland. Wilson has felt the stingingpainsot
the pressure pins the powerful Aggie alumni have been applyingwitk
rumors of the witchdoctors buying up his contract and b
another victim.
The really powerful witchdoctors, although few in number ht
many in bucks, always warn us not to bite the hand that feeds us yet
it’s hard to take the diet they force down the University’s throalat
times.

But the alumni is not to blame for all of the Aggies misery,con- , e Aggies

Although the game plans didn’t affect the outcomes of the TecliaDil

films show the ball bounced tiff Cummings, hit the groundand

And that’s where the Count of Crummy Breaks enters the scene
In that particular play, the Count jumped in front of the referees
that he wasn’t able to see the non-catch. And theres rumorsti*

Most say he put the ball in Houston receiver Eric Herringskd

couldn’t tell because Igor the Interception Idiot was standing in tk
way.
Igor had already played a big part in the Coog-Ag game by pushiiS
Houston’s Donnie Love in front of three Mike Mosley passes.
But the season hasn’t been a total horror movie for the Ags. Ifyffl
took away the Fumble Freak, Tyrant of Turnover, the Count ad
Igor, the Ags would probably be 6-1. And if the Ags were 6-1
witchdoctors would have never shown up in the first place toll
Wilson.
I’m sure the rest of the Aggie schedule includes lots of tricks ad
treats for the Aggie fans but hopefully, the monsters will go hoi
after tonight. Or at least go to Houston or Arkansas orTexasor.
