Austin High's Maroons rated one of the district's top powers in pre-season reckonings could do no better than tie Temple High 6-6 The big noise however came from a llashy gridiron machine from the Bayuu Country the Robert Lee Ganders of Goose Creek who soundly walloped a highly-regarded Thomas jcifer-son (San Antonio) club 20 to 7 Head Coach A (Bud) McCallum of Corpus Buccaneers some of his aides and players were in the stands to watch the Goose Creek -Jefferson battle Jeff had been picked by cosehes as the real threat in District 15-AA with Austin or Brack-ridge second and the liucs a real horse" The Hue mentor reports that the Goose Creek Gamins Hie very classy indeed with plenty of everything that could make the club a district champion So McCallum slew a couple of birds with one glance He scouted Jeff and had a nice look at the Ganders It could happen that the Bucs might slip by as district titlists whip the Lower Valley champ and clash with the Ganders in the quarterfinals What McCallum saw in the Jcff-Gander game was not so pleasant The Bucs are coming along nicely however flashed some real football spirit in their game a week ago with Greenville and will be ready for some more of the same when they take on the defending state champions Port Arthur's Yellowjackets in Buc Stadium here Triday night Port Arthur was tied 13-13 by San Jacinto of Houston Friday AU-Slar
