Breckenridge looks like
Buckaroos of old days
United Press International
Larry Parker was an all-state
end-linebacker and Emory Bellard
was head coach when last the Brec
kenridge Buckaroos had something
to rave about. That was 1958.
Now, two decades later, the
Breckenridge Buckaroos are back.
And, former star player Parker is
head coach. His star player is his
own son, quarterback Brent Parker
who may be the best quarterback in
the state in Class AA this year.
Breckenridge is undefeated
through eight games, and a combi
nation of a Buckaroo victory over
Eastland this week — and a Cole
man win over Cisco — would put
Breckenridge into the post-season
playoffs. If Coleman and Brecken
ridge do not both win, it will go
down to the season finale before the
playoff berth is decided.
“You have a run of outstanding
athletes in a community, and you
have your ups and downs in win
ning,” Parker said. “We like to think
the winning tradition that was once
noted at Breckenridge is returning.”
The Bucks have lost only four of
their last 35 games. And, this week
for the first time in recent years,
Breckenridge was back atop the top
10 ratings in the state. If they win
the district title either this week or
next, it will be the third straight dis
trict championship under Parker.
“I feel we are playing good foot
ball now,” Parker said. “Were a
large Class AA school with a run of
good kids. We certainly don’t mind
lining up against anyone.”
Parker says football is still big in
the state’s smaller communities, like
Breckenridge.
“Were 100 miles away from ev
erything, so on Friday night every
thing shuts down and everyone
pretties up and goes to the football
stadium — that’s just the social
event of the week,” he said.
“We know we’ve got our work cut
out this week. We have to make
sure it’s not just another game for
us. After all, if Eastland were to win
it would make their season. So,
we’ve got to be ready to play.”
The other top-ranked teams will
also see action, as Class AAAA’s
Abilene Cooper goes to Big Spring,
Class AAA’s Paris hosts Sulphur
Springs and Class A’s China Spring
travels to Clifton.

Cowboys looking out for Gian
Ag runners head to regional
By CAROLYN BLOSSER
Battalion Sports Staff
Texas A&M’s women’s cross
country team competes today in the
Regional Cross-Country meet in
Denton.
Running for the Aggies will be
Adelaide Bratten, Cathy Cocke,
Barbara Collinsworth, Keress Haw
kins, Annie Muniz and Beverly Por
ter.
Last weekend at the state meet in
Georgetown, A&M’s top runner
Sandra Brown got spiked in the calf
at the beginning of the race, and
coach Bill Nix says her loss will hurt
A&M’s chances at regionals.
“We were shooting for a second
place finish, but now without
Brown, we will probably place
about fifth,” Nix said.
The top two teams and the top 15
individual runners at Regionals will
qualify for the national meet Nov.
17 at Tallahassee, Fla. Because s
chances of qualifying as a team are
greatly reduced with the loss of
Brown, Nix said he is more con
cerned with A&M’s individual
placements this weekend. ^
“We re trying to get as many in
dividuals as we can to qualify for na
tionals,” he said. “I think we might
get a maximum of three runners in
the top 15.”
Last weekend the Aggies placed
third at the state meet behind the
University of Texas, and second
place Houston. The top two
finishers for A&M were Annie
Muniz (11th) and Cathy Cocke
(13th).

DALLAS — The New York
Giants have the longest winning
streak in the NFL and the Dallas
Cowboys have just been handed
their biggest disappointment of the
season.
So, no matter what the oddsmak-
ers say, the Cowboys likely will be
the emotional underdog in East
Rutherford, N.J., next Sunday.
“We will have a hangover from
it,” Coach Tom Landry said refer
ring to the club’s 14-3 loss to
'Pittsburgh.
“You don’t ever lose and not have
something taken out of you,” he
said. “And when you lose to
Pittsburgh it takes more out of you
than normal.
“We will have a very tough time
with New York. The whole season is
made up of peaks and valleys. New
York is at their peak right now. They
couldn’t be more enthusiastic or be
playing with more enthusiasm than
they are now because they have
done a lot more than they ever
thought they would do this year.
“That’s going to make them tough
to handle unless we play very good.
If we play good then I think we will
be all right.”
How long does Landry expect the
Pittsburgh loss to hang over the
head of his players?
“Well,” he said, “it just depends.
It’s what the players hear, what they
read and how they feel that deter
mines how quickly they can shake it
off. I have no trouble shaking it off
myself, but I’m not out there play
ing.
“Some players have more trouble
than others.
“We need to win. But New York
has the best attitude of any of us in
our division right now. Philadelphia
is down in a valley. Washington got
beat and has to go against Pittsburgh
next week.
“I don’t know if we will come up
to a top level after a disappointing
defeat. It will be a close, tough foot
ball game because of that. It’s not
that the Giants aren't capable, but if
we play as good as we can play we
should win the football game. But I
