S.A******************
i Fearless Deere’s Forecast -
(Last week: 6 right, 4 wrong; season, .600)
When the final scores started coming in from last
week’s opening games on which I had made some pretty
wild predictions, I was almost immediately between a
rock and a hard place.
First of all, the Blinn Bucs, who I had picked to win,
tried every way in the world to help me out in their
Thursday game which was played almost before the ink
got dry on this column. They dominated the contest like
Grant took Richmond, but in the end we both went down in
flames. .
However, just 24 hours later the Brenham Cubs i
only won like I guessed, but they did it by the exact
score! (Editor’s note: please notice the exclamation
point) Now, a forecaster couldn’t beat that with a stick.
But our elation didn’t last too long, because the results
. of the other eight games quickly brought us back down to -
---sin ne.threy other picks want down the drain.-*
‘ - - winter ornrga-ds back to being between a rock and a .
hard place. It was great hitting one right on the nose, -
but it wasn’t too good when the sum total was added up.
You might say the first week’s action, where there’s not
much information to go on, gave us more trouble than
a tone deaf flute player caught in a bed of cobras.
Well, with umpteen games under our belt now, we can’t
claim lack of knowledge as an excuse. So, let’s get after
what looks like a typically tough Uis— C. 2

the Cubs. However, tire rub comes in trying to guess the
score. I don’t know about the fans who saw the game,-but
Navasota’s hitting and desire impressed us last year ab-
out as much as any team theCubs played. The Rattlers
came prepared, and except for a couple of bad breaks,
the final score would have been a lot of closer. And al-
thought this year’s club lost to Sealy, 7-0, last Friday,

against any and all corners. Brenham 36, Navasota 0.
BURTON at ACADEMY-The Bumble Bees play their
football seven miles ′ this side” of Temple, and like the
Panthers they play it pretty well. Last week both teams
tangled with two real good clubs, and both lost by almost
identical scores. Wallis downed Burton, 22-0, and Thrall
beat Academy, 21-0. This automatically puts Friday’s
game up for grabs and makes it bad news for predictors.
But any team that can hold Thrall and its great back,
Delaine Rollie, to 21 points has got to get our vote. Bum-
ble Bees to sting Panthers, 20-7.
SOMERVILLE at THRALL--Not only do the Tigers
have the aforementioned Rollie, a 180-pounder who cov-
ers 100 yards in 9.8 seconds, they also have two other
players-end Kenneth Mays and tackle Bob Preston--
who are college prospects. The Yeguas are not without
some top-notch players of their own, however, as they
showed last week against a Class 2A team. But since the
Burleson County lads are still bunged up, we’ll take
Thrall bv 15-8.

rell is also a 4A team, and they knocked off Ardmore,
Okla., 21-12, in their first outing. The pre-season poop
is that Terrell’s strong point is its defensive secondary.
That should be enough to beat Elmore by 27-14.
