Panthers Blank Mathis Pirates
To Gain Fourth District Win
If the Mathis Pirate offense
had been as effective as their
defense, the Aransas Pass
Panthers might h»ve found
themselves the victims of an
upset last weekend.
Instead, the Pirates provided
the fourth Aransas Pass victory
in as many starts and became
the third 30-AA squad to be shut
out by the Panthers who took a
6-0 decision Friday night on
their hometown turf.
Pirate defenders halted the
Panther onslaught time after
time and broke down only once-
when Caleb Brown streaked
through on a 92-yard scoring
sprint. However, the Mathis
offense managed only one pene-
tration, a fourth quarter drive
down to the Aransas Pass
12-yard line, and that march
ended with a Panther inter-
ception.
Aransas Pass received the
opening kickoff after winning
the pregame coin toss, and the
Panthers promptly began a
drive which progressed down to
the Pirate 30-yard line How-
ever, a 15-yard penalty for
illegal use of hands sent them
back out to the 45, and three

plavs later they were forced to
punt. y
Following two exchanges of
punts, the Panthers got their
offense untracked again early
in the second quarter. Starting
from the Pirate 35, they drove
down to the five in nine plays
with Tim Robles gaining most
of the yardage.
Robles, 150-pound junior
back, got the pigskin five times
and netted a total of 20 yards.
However, the Panthers’ hopes
of scoring faded when Pirate
defender Ray Gonzales re-
covered an Aransas Pass
fumble on the Mathis six-yard
line.
Mathis managed to work its
way out of the hole deep in
Pirate territory. An 18-yard
pass from quarterback Eddie
Munoz to Clay Nelson and an
18-yard romp by halfback David
Chavez accounted for most of
the yardage, but the effort
stalled just beyond the midfield
stripe and the Pirates were
forced to punt
Through the remainder of the
second quarter, neither team
.had much offensive success,
and they went to the halftime
lockers still knotted in a
scoreless tie.
After intermission, Mathis
took the second half kickoff, but
the Pirates logged only one first
down before Munoz did the
punting chores again. Following
the kick, Aransas Pass was
backed up to its own 10-yard
line. And the Panthers lost two
more yards when Gonzales

caught Caleb Brown behind the
line of scrimmage
Then on second down, Brown
took another handoff from
Lopez But this time the results
were much better Brown broke
through the right side of the
Pirate line and sprinted down
the sidelines toward the Mathis
end zone. Finally, Mike Gutier-
rez caught him and made th£‘
tackle, but not before Brown
had crossed the goal stripe for
six points.
Robles’ extra point kick went
astray to the right, but the
Panthers enjoyed a 6-0 lead with
8:04 left in the third quarter
Mathis took the ensuing
kickoff and began some
offensive fireworks of its own.
The Pirates drove all the way to
the Panther 30 before the effort
began to falter.
Then Chavez was halted for
no gain, and Munoz suffered a
similar fate on second down
The Pirate quarterback went to
the air on third down, and hfs
toss to Maricio Olivarez was
right on target.
However, Jim Chesnutt and
Donnie Crothers were right on
top of Olivarez, and he dropped
the pass. Still on the Panther
30-yard line, the Pirates found
themselves in a fourth down
situation.
Munoz went back to punt, but
no one was fooled He
completed a toss to Nelson, but
the big tight end was brought
down a yard shy of the first
down marker.
From their own 21, the
Panthers took it out to the 34
before problems developed
Then a clipping call sent them
back to their own 19, and their
next try ended in an intercep-
tion.
Ty Winsauer picked off a
Lopez pbss in the vicinity of the
Panther 45 and returned it down
to the 28-yard line. At that point,
the Pirates appeared ready to
put some points of their own on
the board, but the threat was
erased when Donnie Crothers
intercepted a Munoz aerial
Crothers’ kickoff put an end to
the Pirates’ final offensive
effort of any consequence. Their
next possession ended in a
fumble recovered by Daniel
Stelly, and the series after that
wound up with a punt.
Following the Pirate puru
with 2:04 on the fourth quarter
clock, Brown raced around
right end for 12 yards and
CJwsnutt notched 10 more with a

late hit call on the Pirates
adding to the gain.
However, the Panthers ran
out of downs on the Pirate
22-yard line, and Mathis
regained possession with 35\
seconds remaining. Munoz then
rifled two passes to Nelson who
quickly stepped out of bounds to
stop the clock.
Though the pair of com-
pletions netted 30 yards, they
took the Pirates only to the
midfield stripe Munoz kept for
five more yards, but his next
two tosses went incomplete as
time expired.
Friday’s win upped the
Panthers’ season record to 5-2
on the year and a perfect 4-0 in
district 30-AA action. It was
their third shutout in four
league starts Among 30-AA
opponents, only the Ingleside
Mustangs have scored against
the Panthers.

No Crystal Ball, Tea Leaves
Used By Harmon Forecast
When the Harmon Forecast
makes a prediction about an
upcoming collegiate gridiron
clash, their prognostication
isn’t the result of gazing into a
crystal ball or reading con-
figurations in the bottom of a
tea cup
The Harmon Forecast, spon-
sored locally by First State
Bank and White’s Auto Store, is
based on mathematically de-
rived power quotients for the
more than 640 teams surveyed
each week,
In his highlight comments on
this week's forecast. Bob
Harmon discusses how they
determine the ratings:
Every year we find it
necessary to explain to new
readers, and to new letter-
writers, that every undefeated
football team just doesn’t
^belong among the nation’s top
ten or twenty teams.
In the Harmon system, a
team’s rating is based on its
power quotient, not on games
won and lost. Each of the more
than 640 football teams that we
follow receives an adjusted
rating each week
This explains why Texas Tech
or Pittsburgh, for example,
could be sixth one week, tenth
the next, etc. Although a team
remains undefeated, its power
quotient fluctuates from week
to week depending on perfor-
mance.
As a result, weekly perfor-
mance and calibre of competi-
tion can prevent some unbeaten
teams from establishing a
strong enough power quotient to
be rated very high Undefeated
Maryland, until its decisive 30-3
win over Duke last week, is an
example. In spite of their
won-lost record, their very
average performances against
weaker teams has kept them no
higher than 15th in our ratings
week after week.
Also, as in the case of
Missouri, it goes without
saying that a team can be a two
or three-time loser and be
ranked very high in our elite
group. Based on their power
quotient, Missouri would rate as
a favorite over 95 percent of the
major teams in the country.
So it’s just our way of mathe-
matically speculating on the
relative power of college
football teams We can be as
wrong as anyone (and we are
25 percent of the time), but we
feel it’s as reliable a system as
any in determining winners and
losers. / '
Undefeated Michigan and the
twice-beaten Gophers of Minne
sota meet Saturday in the
annual battle for the Little
Brown Jug This ex-Gopher
would like to forecast a big
upset, but the Wolverines are
just too powerful. Michigan
over Minnesota by 31 points.
We re still sorting out the tea
leaves on the big one in Texas
between the Longhorns and
Texas Tech. Their identical
power quotients make this
appear to be a real cliff-hanger.
Read the forecast please!
Pitt’ll beat Syracuse by 27,
and Florida is favored by 11
